I'm trying to run some MAME roms on my PSP: The Simpsons, The Punisher, and the two TMNT games. The only emulator I've seen that even has them listed is pspmame .097 (aside from The Punisher, it has the others listed) but when I try to run them, I get this: _sbrk_psp: overfllow!! (typed exactly as it appears on the PSP screen, save the space before overflow). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using 1.5.
It lists quite a few games that are unsupported by the emu. Might be the problem, I personally don't have it so I can't test it. An overflow error seems like there isn't enough ram to load the rom, but I'm not sure. Do any of your roms work?
All of the Sega, SNES, and NES roms I have work fine, but the SNES roms run a little slow at times.
Also, my memory stick has 171m of free space out of 512.
Roms as in mame roms rather then roms for other emulators.
No, none of my mame roms run. I get the same error. I just want to know if there's an emulator that supports these few games and will let me play them.
The first 'Turtles' had a NES port and 'Turtles in Time' was ported for the SNES
Can't help you with the other two.
edit: here is the FAQ:

The translated versions indicates that there isn't enough memory to play the rom.
Oh I know, I have them. The Punisher was ported on the Genesis. I just like the original arcade games.
Okay, how do I increase memory? The only change I made was using PSPersonalize to change my backgrounds. I just deleted everything from the memory stick other than the MAME stuff and I still get the same error. What should I do?
Ram are those little chps / cards connected to your motherboard. Deleting files from your memory stick does not spawn little chips.
Awesome. Thanks to you, I can now load these roms.Quote:

Not on mame psp, but they're on the list of PSPMAME, here: http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/pspmame096.shtml
Like I said it lists roms it doesn't run. :/ Mainly because of memory issues. You can try you luck with MAME 0.71 for PSP but I doubt they will run. In the end I think you are pretty much screwed, sorry. =(
when I say mame psp I mean all the versions. Mame requires quite a bit of ram to run correctly after all just look at the xbox mame where up until a year ago virtual memory was not implemented and a lot of games would not run for the same reasons as the psp. Fortunately vm has since been implemented and now most games run with varying degrees of success. I wont be holding my breath for the psp version though.
ah well at least we have bombjack. hehe
