PicoDrive for PSP v1.35a - Genesis/Sega CD Emulator for the PSP

http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/pico1.jpg

Notaz has posted a small update to his excellent Genesis/Sega CD emulator for the PSP

Heres whats new:

Well that test-a-bios-and-you-are-screwed bug was quite a serious one, so I've done an update:

fixed a bug which prevented to load any ROMs after testing the BIOS.
fixed incorrect CZ80 memory map setup, which caused Z80 crashes and graphics corruption in EU Mega CD model1 BIOS menus.
added additional "set to 4:3 scaled" display option for convenience.
added an option to disable frame limitter (works only with non-auto frameskip).

Add to the PicoDrive for PSP Compatability list here

I spotted this in the original PicoDrive thread and I'm so glad to see another thread on the main news page announcing it. It may be a small update but any update to this impressive emulator is news worthy if you ask me.

I've already upgraded 2 of my PSP's to this latest release.

Notaz pointed out that although this emulator may have seemingly come out of nowhere, this emulator has actually been a project 2 years in the making. Learning that really made me appreciate the time and effort that went into this.

Thanks for everything Notaz and also to all who have helped you along the way. This is the type of homebrew release that has potential to attract many more people to the wonders of PSP homebrew & emulation.

Wiii!! Awesome!

Keep updating this thing, everyone loves it.

Well I'm hoping notaz will see how much everyone appreciates this emulator and give him some motivation to continue it now instead of later. Thank You notaz!

Ideal, its great your ironing out the little bugs for us all! ...Keep em coming! :)

I know it will take a quite a bit more time but if you could implement adhoc multiplayer then that would be great (then I can truly delete Dgen from my memory stick). :)

Very nice emulator man! :thumbup: Also a bonus that you update it!


good work!

phenomenal emulator, Notaz, thanks for the update of this top sega emu.

Fantastic update, thanks a lot notaz! :)

Thanks a ton...This emulator has very quickly become one of my favorite reasons to turn on my psp.

yes best emulator in a wile thank you for the hard work

nice! Thanks for the update notaz!

One of the best emulators on the scene right now! I loved the modest release :) (no year long hype, no alpha releases, etc), just on the scene , released , no BS , perfect emulator!

Thanks man... playing Sonic CD on the PSP is awesome

its the best that could have happened to the psp. now we got it all besides N64 :D

Spoiler!

SNES still sucks tremendous ass.

I still can't get why people keep saying that SNES emulation sucks on PSP. I can play all games full speed and pretty smoothly using Snes9xTYL.

This is very exciting indeed :)

Much thanks to notaz for blessing us with an update.

*begins praying notaz decides to continue the updates*

I still can't get why people keep saying that SNES emulation is practically perfect on PSP. I can't play any games full speed using Snes9xTYL.

I still can't get why people keep saying that they can't get any SNES game at full speed. I bet they're noobs and they don't know how to change the options of the emulator.

you rock! :)
I'm playing now SonicCD flawflessly :D
great!!

Yeah, I'm sure you have everything running perfectly at 60FPS, no frame drops, 0 frameskip, and vsync on.

Snes works great for me! wich games you tried that play so bad?
Anyway GREAT EMU notaz, i always wanted to play Final Fight CD on the psp. Great piece of work, thanks for your efforts.

I still don't get why people make such a fuss about SNES one way or the other.

Nintendo Systems Suck and the SNES is the worst of them.

Whatever.... you probably have no clue what videogames are all about... Nes and Snes have the best classic games ever. Sequels from today's systems came from those two systems.

I still don't get why people argue on the internet. We all know the rest of the sentence ;]

Snes is the best system ever!!! period.

Please, lets stay on topic about notaz's Picodrive

I prefer my Atari 7800 and Sega Master System/Genesis, thanks.

It just irks me when there's a thread about a absolutely perfect, great new Sega Emulator, and all the jerkoff Nintendo Fanboys mess it up with their complaints about SNES Emulation speed.

this thread isn't about any Nintendo product. Shut it.

Holy Crap!
Would some of you guys stop *****ing and get over yourselves about other emulators. Some of ya'll are so off-topic it's not even funny.
What is this thread about? Hmmm...
Oh wait, if I remeber correctly after sifting through a few people's spam...
Notaz's Picodrive update!
Stay on topic people, you hop on this thread to discuss and give thanks to Notaz and his newest update only, not other things.
I am going to see if a wraggster could sift through the spam and delete the posts that don't add to the topic of this thread.
Lesson to learn for today: Keep your eye on the ball, looking in other directions is not going to get you to hit it...

Yeah Fantastic Dizzy working with music :)
Shadow of The Beast working perfectly :)
thank yoou thank you thank you

crap dude, I forgot to try Fantastic Dizzy on this emulator :thumbup: If it works as you say, then Im very pleased!

Also its great that Wonder Boy in Monster World now works perfectly. Dgen couldnt even get passed the title screen!

Aaah... dizzy and wonderboy for me then... that will take up a good few hours :D:D:D:D:D

Yes please stay on topic this is a fantastic release by Notaz and even better he has updated because of so much exposure and the overall great feeling about this emulator.

So please just discuss this emulator only

Awesome work Notaz
this emulator really rock, it got solid 60 fps as the Mega CD itself! (n_n)

i only got some issue entering Picodrive folder in the menu to load rom, but with my other memory stick everything works fine..I guess why.

anyway thanks so much for the release

Hmmm I've been playing Picodrive on my GP2X since April, but I'm curious to try this psp version out. I have been having issues with the GP2X version freezing with Vay at random. It doesn't even matter what settings I use or clock speed. It's really the only game that has this random freezing issue for me. How is Vay in this release?

I'm sure you actualy ment:

Just ripped my Sega CD disk to test it and reply to your comment and plays and sounds very well. ;)

Lmao. :rofl::rofl:

Well, I like saying the truth.

Edit: And another fact, is that I just deleted it after testing it. Like most of the ISOs say in a read-me. "Please delete in 24 hours." :rolleyes:

Glad to see a Sega CD emu for PSP finally :)

I also like saying the truth... and the truth is you will get you banned from this site if you brag about downloading ISO's. :rofl: :rofl: :D

It runs much faster than Dgen and PSPGenesis.

It hangs when loading the genesis game "Lighting in the dark".
