Snes9xTYL 0.3 for PSP Released

[sheng]

I have slight problem with the emulater crashing ever so often... it happen with Front Mission and some other games.... I didn't get any of those crashes before with the older version.... does anyone have the same problem?

BTW this is crash is on the 0.3 ME version on a 1.5 firmware machine....

Thanx

I am a noob to this stuff so bear with me, I can not for the life of me get this to work. It says "The game can not be started. The data is corrupt." What am i doing wrong? This happens for every program i've tried to used thus far.

Navigate to System Information on your PSP settings. Under the MAC Address Look at System Software. If the version # is 2.01, 2.50, or 2.60, this Emulator will not work your PSP. May be possible in the future with Fanjitas eLoader using the GTA Game but only time will tell.

I love it when people diss this crappy emulator because Ive always thought it sucked from day 1

Im a FIRM supporter of Ys efforts, I think these guys should just take his emu and apply the GPU acceleration to it.



Personaly I like to have both the analog and dpad working at the same time, I dunno why i just do

I ALSO like to be able to configure the keys for each game and have it load the rom with all the settings where I like them.


2 BIG things that the Y32 version does that this doesnt.


also. it sounds like CRAPPP

I know that discussion has continued between you and the coders - I read this whole thread - but I can hardly not say something myself about this...

All PSP Homebrew users are lucky that the coders of this emu are people with integrity and tolerance, because I definately thought somebody was going to get pissed off here... they've really been quite civil about it... if it were me doing the coding (and mind you, I'm extremely tolerant, getting me mad is no easy task) I would have likely just posted any future releases to my own site only or not at all (because getting email/comments putting down my free contribution is not at all any sort of encouragement to continue making improvements...)

I think that if you really wanted to see this become a good emu (not that it isn't already!) then you would NOT talk this way to the coders because it's their final decision on whether or not to continue working on it, and with negative reinforcement like that it's hardly likely that they'll want to.. I saw that you seemed to come around a little bit but you are still coming off as having a negative attitude towards the project...

Now, as for the warning and it's reasons...

"One big reason is people selling CD-Rom on ebay full of FREEWARE emulator."

I myself reported one of these on Ebay and I believe it got taken off, when I first saw this I was OUTRAGED and posted about it here and on my blog.. I never realized it was such a common occurance. While it's true that you can't stop all of it, it's NOT simply the consumer who was hurt by this, but the coder who basically just bought lunch for the lamer selling free software... While it doesn't specifically take anything away from the coder, it's like as if someone downloaded my music off my website and started selling it without me even knowing.. that's definately wrong... anyhow, what I'm saying is, anything that can be possibily done to deter this is a GOOD thing and I support it 100%. I use this emulator (if I use SNES at all) and while it's slightly annoying, given the circumstances I can deal with it.

Also, what you've said about this emu is as if someone came to my site, listened to my music (at no cost), hated it, and then posted a comment saying, "I don't know why everybody is coming here to listen to this AWFUL music, [insert artist here] is way better!" -- that would be incredibly out of line.. I would ban them instantly, NOT because they didn't like it but because of the fact that it's extremely disrespectful - especially to someone who doesn't have to be doing what they're doing, providing a free service.

Also, one more thing, with this Wi-Fi business... does anybody who has mentioned this (not talking specifically to you) have any grasp on the complexity of not only developing software for the PSP in the first place but also with harnassing the latent abilities of a system which is not hospitable to homebrew in the first place? That means, NO sony documentation whatsoever... whatever people have done with homebrew is all self-taught or learned from fellow coders... very very few homebrew so far as used wireless.. MOST use infrastructure to download data from specific locations, very few (quake II and master system being the only ones I'm aware of) actually have adhoc multi... and anyway, this team has had ALOT of things to focus on in improving this emu, mostly speed + sound issues that most DEFINATELY are a higher priority than buggy wifi play.. i mean, if the game doesn't play to begin with, why bother with multiplayer??

Alright. sorry for the ranting. but you see this nonesense over and over again, for every release that comes out.. typically, the better the release, the more flaming and disrespectful comments come out =/

As a final note I would like to mention that I do understand the fact that alot of these things thus far have already been resolved in the thread, so I apologize if I am beating a horse.

I actually had version 1.52 yesterday but upgraded thinking it would fix the problem. I was having the same problems with 1.52 firmware as well though. Is it possible to downgrade the firmware? If im posting thisi nthe wrong place please tell me and direct me elsewhere, in the meantime i appreciate your help.

NO SLEEP!!!! thats no good

[SmashinGit]

Totally agree with you DraconumPB, I don't know if its because of the young age following that the PSP has or maybe some people thinking that the world owes them something, but like all coders will tell you, constructive criticism and bug reports is what they really want, not people flamming because the new release has not lived up to their expectations.

If this emulator or any other emulator/homebrew only played one game, then thats one game more and we should all be grateful.

Dear people who don't like my opinions.




Clearly you are all missing my main point when I say these things. I know I can't code, you know I can't code, we aren't seeing Illegal Machine's SNES emu anywhere are we? No. Clearly the coders are working hard at thier tasks, and obviously I can't do better. when I say these things it's not to bash the coders, many of whom Ive written glorious letters of praise to, given POSITIVE feedback, and seen results in the emulator I suggested modifying.


No. I'm not bashing coders skills, obviously they work hard for everyones benefit. What I AM bashing is the tastes of people who proclaim this as the end all be all best emulator out there, when its NOT.


The latest version of NEOGEO CD by Zelurker IS the best emu out there right now bar none. after that, HUE, and NesterJ come to mind. followed by the y32 version of the SNES emu.

and I've been testing this one out quite a bit, and not only does it kinda not even load roms that y32 loads PERFECTLY, it has the same shortcomings that I have been trying to drill into some of the thick insulting numb skulls out here.

So call me whatever you want. I really don't care, I've been called worse to my face, and didn't care then. Some of YOU need to develop an opinion of your OWN and not get so worked up over, or influenced by someone elses.



Love,



Illegal Machine



P.S. I love coders, without whom we would all have nothing.

Whatever happened to Y? He hasn't updates his site in about 1/2 a year. I think his emulator is good, but I can achieve higher speed on TYL version.
Thanks go to all the coders who made this emulator possible.

Well, Homebrew does not work on 1.51 or 1.52 PSP's either. You need either 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0. Tell me you did not upgrade to the latest firmware version did you??? If you did, sell your PSP on eBay and buy a new one. Its what I woud do. If you upgraded to 2.00 and NOT 2.01, 2.50, 2.60 you are one lucky S.O.B. because you can use most emulators with 2.00 or you can downgrade and make your PSP a version 1.50 with the MPH Downgrader. You can ONLY downgrade from 2.00. Once you go beyond that, Sony has you locked in.

I hope this helps. Do some Google searches as there is lots of good info and tutorials if you search hard enough. Also there are people like myself who don't mind giving advice to less experienced homebrew scene new recruits.... Good Luck & Spread the word to friends and family about PSP homebrew.
