awesome news :)
my first computer was a c64 (yes i am old)
loved loading games via casette prepared me well for psp umd rofl
champion effort ...do not need eye candy for a good game
made first dongle with cheap jostick and crossed over wires
made a steering wheel and pedals with old sewing machine foot control
and barbaric contacts.
c64 still rocks if not at least ripples in my fading mind
oh yeah merry xmas to all
Heh, you can't be that old. C64 was my third computer :D
I wil not count the bbc etc
first computer for gaming (excluding space invader calculator etc)
Has anyone else tried Miner 2049'er? I was just wondering cause 1st level plays great, but on 2nd level, you can just run right through bad guys without dying. (like sprite-collision is off or something). It does make the game much easier ha-ha... but what's the fun in that?
Where can I find the UNEXPLOITED PBP? Can you please compile normaly for us v1.00 users and not just the kxpoit compilation?
Thanks!!!!
great update on this version! But i can still not run agent-x2 *bu-huu* And the sound on ricochet is still crappy. Anyway, i love playing c64 on psp!! Thanks for making this possible.
ISOHaven here's a v1.0 for you.
Im trying to run platoon on t64 img and it doesnt load. The emulator doesnt recognize the tape drive and wont load. Then I happen to get the d64 ver of platoon and theres 2 disks nessesary to play and i am only able to play disk 1 but cant get to load disk 2 from the game.
Please help
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
The v1.00 works great!
EDIT:
This emu is by far much better then the other now. Although I can't use the newest version of the other since no one can produce a v1.00 PBP. The source is available so I would make my own but cygwin took a crap on my machine. Anyway, I guess the addition of sound is my biggest thrill.
The only suggestion I would have is that input on the other emu was much easier and QUICKER via the mouse type feature with the arrow cursor.
Even the snapshoot feature is better as I kept bumping the LOAD button (R1) and ruinging my game with the other emu.
Thanks Again!!!
In the past, people have mentioned they wanted a firmware v1.0 version, but when I've messaged them to invite them to test it, they've never replied. I will make it available on the website in future.
And for 2 disk games, just go into the image selector and highlight the other D64 when it prompts you to swap disks. MagicRuss has had this working (maybe with one of the Last Ninja games)
Impressive!!! Thanks Urchin, for me is more important this than 100 gtas + 100 pes (is my second computer after a vic-20 xD )
I tested a lot of games and all works 99,99% , only a exception for me don´t work: International Karate+
The music problem of previous version in some games is fixed.
PD: anyone knows if exists a tape/disk version of cartidge "International soccer"?
Yeah, it's a known problem. The v0.3 c64psp core is now based on FrodoPC which unfortunately doesn't play well with IK+. It was a toss up between this and Impossible Mission and all the other games which work only on FrodoPC. IK+ is one of my favourite games though, so you can be sure I'll be doing everything possible to get it working again!
And the sound should be spot on in most games now - I spent a whole month trying to perfect it!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!Quote:

Hello,
I got 2 spanking new emus for my beloved PSP V1.5:
the most want to try is this C64 and the Amstrad emu
I have got the complete Gamebase64 sometime ago and unzipped all the .D64 & T64 files to my memory stick. This is what I found out.
10 out of 3 games don't work, I can load the image, see the intro (hack team) then nothing will play or I press the space / [ ] button but cannot advance to the game...??
Would it be the files are not compatible or corrupted. Although an emu is never perfected, I still say that the images may have different headers.
BTW I've tried this c64 on Firmware 2.0 and it runs far less games than V1.5 firmware, eg R-Type will run flawlessly but on V2.0 firmware I can only see the background but cannot playanything.
T-2000> I've had no problem using them.
You need to look up the relevant game number on the website (for example, you want to load game number "3"). In the image selector, highlight the correct D64, but don't press autoload. Press "L" to flip back to the emulator and use the VK to type 'LOAD"3",8' and then 'RUN'.
emul8this> As you say, no emulator is perfect, but it sounds like you've been having a lot of bad luck with the games you've tried. What games are trying?
Hacked games with intros or trainers can cause problems, and usually finding an alternative version does the trick (MagicRuss is particularly good at hunting for other versions :)) That said, there are some games that still don't have a proper working version on c64psp. Russ is in the process of putting together a compatibility page.
As for different firmware versions, it's been thoroughly hammered on 1.5 and 2.0 over the past month, so I'm not sure what problem you're having.
Ive found that sometimes you have to get the directory of the disk with LOAD"$",8 and manually type in the name of the game like on ROBOCOP, it wont load with LOAD"*",8,1
Urchin u are a god :)
Cheers :)
There are also some games (thing on a spring springs to mind :)) that are over a certain size and require you to use a loader (which is also on the disk image). However, you need to turn the loader's turbo mode OFF. The game still loads in a couple of seconds though.
Hello urchin!
First: I am german, and my english isn't very good, sorry for strange spelling.
I really love your c64-emulator, and i have much fun with Alcazar, Exploding Fist , Encounter, Friday the 13th, Zaxxon... they all run very good.
But i have problems with some games, and maybe you (or someone else) can help me or say what's the problem? Alter Ego is one of my alltime favourites, but it only loads and says "please insert disk 1 label side up" (this IS the inserted disk, so that's confusing). Zak McKraken and GemX don't load, too. These are all d64-games, and the working titles are all t64-games. Can you give me a hint what i can try to run the d64-files correctly? Or is this a known problem?
Sorry again for my english, i hope you know what i mean...
Thanks!
Marko
Hey marko, dein Englisch ist toll! :)
I've tried the games you listed, and I also can't get them to work. I'll take a look next week to see if I can get them running.
i will also try to find you working versions of these titles.
The compatibility page is going well, but will take some time as there were ALOT of c64 titles :)
Yes, indeed!Quote:

Anyway, thanks for your help & care again. :)

hello urchin,
thanks for the port, the performance is quie nice! what i miss is a true drive emulation, many titles just doesn't work (fastloaders). also filerequester for images would be much better - let the users choose where to put their stuff.
I tried enabling true drive emulation the other day, but then it refused to load anything! :D I'm not sure why, so I need to take a proper look when I get chance.
Sounds good, a c64 emulator 4 my psp. But i cant get it working. I get an error message saying can't start this game (80020130). I have downgraded my psp to version 1.50. did i miss something in the installation ?? (i copied the 2 dirs in the zip to /psp/game ) Any idea what the error message means ?
Make sure you copy the folder c64psp~% after the other c64psp folder and dont disconnect to quick this can do it too.
Urchin, thanks for porting this excellent emulator.Im having one problem with it one of my favourite games is samurai warrior, this worked well on your previous version but on this recent update the main sprite has almost disapeared all thats left is the ears :eek: .I have also noticed the same problem with a few other games involving the main sprite disapearing.Will it be possible to fix this???
Yeah, there's a problem with a few games (e.g. IK+). Hopefully I can sort it in the next version.
nice to hear, true drive is crucial for some (demos and fastload hacks). also i've noticed there is some frameskip set, but i couldn't notice if is it 25fps or so. do you plan to make it customizable? also what about 333 option?
Now the emu core seems to be running in quite a stable fashion I'm gonna be experimenting with various options. As mentioned earlier, I've not managed to get true drive emulation working properly yet. I'm also looking to get games that have stopped working since v0.2 working again :)
This is all good stuff, and will help us to make the emulator better with each release.
Anyone else noticed that fort apocalypse isn't working?
the game starts, but whenever you land on the fuel your heli explodes
can't fly far with an almost empty tank :)
koekie
i just wanna say "thank you" for that really cool emulator!!
most of the games that i tried run really smooth!! this is very cool!
if you've got some time for extra features, what about this one:
a disk browser that lists the contents of a d64-image and lets you choose a PRG and loads the one selected!
Hi urchin
I've got a problem with loading up the C64 Emulator.
My version of the firmware is v2.0, I transfer the files to the psp, It displays the image and emulator in the game section. But it won't let me enter the emulator because I keep getting "corrupt data" "game won't start"
Can u help me with this.
Also where do u put ROM games specially in the emulator.
Many Thanks
TH_V1 (e-mail address: [email protected]) :)
Hi, i have the same problem as TH V1. I can see the c64 image behind the c64 psp logo but when pressing start or X i get a corrupt data message. Please help!
Urchin the king! :) I downloaded and now I don't even tak umd with me :)
Q: why not CCS64 ?
- I use ccs64, for some reason this emu just die if game use fast loader or any turbo :( to bad, I hope you'll fix it up.
-----------------------------------
- X,O, ^ binding: some game use extra keys, example: command - space for bomb, raid over moscow f-7 to open the hangar door. If there is any chance to binding a key from a virtual keyboard to those buttons would be awsome
- for the file selector: make available to enter into T64 or D64 file and select the game. Personally I do remember, for the commands but with virtual keyb. is sux (since after 1-2 min. the system goes crazy and the keyb. freezing up. with 1.50 frimware)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- In the FAQ at the site you wrote -Load "gamename",8- actually that would be -load "gamename",8,1- to make sure the load routeni starts at $0801
