1.2 ROM Conversion
(*- ROM zip name)
[In order for ‘MOST’ Capcom Play System 2 ROMs to work with this emulator they must be passed through a converter in order to get their ‘*.cache’!]
1. Open the folder named “ROMCNV” and run the program 'ROMCNV_CPS2.EXE'.
2. A ‘Command Prompt’ window should have loaded saying “Please Select ROM file.” and a navigation window saying “Select zipped ROM file.” Locate your zipped ROM file in this window and click open.
3. Please wait while the converter creates a ‘*.cache’ file for your ROM.
[This should take about 20~30 seconds or so depending on ROM size.]
[NOTE: Use a complete ROM set, or the converter will give you an error.]
4. Once the conversion process is complete press ‘Enter’ to exit. Your ‘*.cache’ should now be in a folder named “CACHE” which is located inside the “ROMCNV” folder.
1.3 ROM Installation
1. Now navigate yourself to your ‘Sony PlayStation Portable’s’ drive, and then to the “X:\PSP\GAME\CPS2PSP” folder.
2. In the “X:\PSP\GAME\CPS2PSP” folder you will see the two folders you created: “ROMS” & “CACHE”. Place your ROM file,’*.ZIP’, inside the “ROMS” folder, and then place the cache file,’*.CACHE’, you got from the ‘ROMCNV_CPS2.EXE’ program inside the “CACHE” folder.
