I'm working with TMK's pspMAME....

[xypex982]

Hmmm ten years...well this is about to be 10yrs old on may 26, it's metal slug think it's possible?

[Cap'n 1time]

il answere that. hell no.

the only way your going to get to see metal slug on psp is via NeoGeoCD emulator. It cant be done due to lack of ram... but the neogeoCD files are streamed.

All, I ask for is emu for CPS1/2 games, and I could die a happy man!

More realistically at this point, I would like to see:

Star Wars
Pole Position
Dig Dug
Tapper
-and-
Gauntlet

Best of luck on your project, Master Mike!

Hello,
It's nice to see someone working on a psp mame version finally!
Keep up the good work.
You didnt answer in the post regarding the use of http://www.talfi.net/gp32_franxis/
code usage. Can you use the code?Or you have to re-invent the wheel from the start again?
it would be ideal to have a punch start with that miracle code.
Some games i would like to see are the following:
City connection
Solomons key
Pengo
Wonderboy series
xained sleenna
Contra
Tehkan World Cup
The New Zealand Story
Toki
Cabal
Green Beret
Gals Panic
Pang
And of cource a dat file will be much apriciated so we can use it to get the full set for the psp from our current mame roms.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

Hi Mike,

I already posted which games I would like to see on your version of MAME in a different threat, but this one seems to be more active, so I'll post again.

1. CPS1 and CPS2 games (Final Fight, Ghouls and Ghosts, etc.)
2. Konami Games (Simpsons, TMNT, etc.)
3. System 16 Games (Outrun, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, etc.)

I noticed that you said The Simpsons ran out of memory, which I was expecting to hear. Since you are a programmer you are probably familiar with the Neo4All MVS program. This program allows massive NeoGeo games to be streamed through the DC's small ram by using a technique to pre-fetch the required data for the upcoming portion of the game on the fly. Apparently a similar version has already been released for the GPX. Do you think the inclusion of this system could help deal with larger games?

It seems that almost everyone here wants CPS1 and/or CPS2 emulation. If you are thinking about including this in your MAME have you thought about perhaps working from the Final Burn program? It runs both CPS1/2 and System 16 games, so you could kill two birds with one stone.

Like I said in my previous post, I would be in heaven if you were somehow able to emulate the games in my list, but in any case it's great to hear that someone is seriously taking up MAME again.

Good Luck

To answer the questions about the Franxis port - he has given me persmission to use it for whatever i like. sadly the psp and gp2x are different architectures, but I'm sure his code can be useful to me

Thank you all for your support in this!

[NovaKane]

Oh crap, how could I forget about...MJ's MoonWalker. That game pwnd. That we need too.

Keep up the good work MikeDX.

[oninotsume]

Is MikeDX going to get his own page here at DCEmu, or stickied? A working port of MAME to the PSP is such a huge announcement. I can imagine many people will want to keep abreast of the development.

Yeah, I hope that Franxis port is able to provide you with some information. I checked out his page and his version of MAME for the GPX2 already supports over 1,000 games!

Good luck MikeDX!

@NovaKane - lmao. man i think we need to stop with the suggestions now. Moonwalker!??!

@oninotsume - MikeDX will probably get his own page here when he presents a proof of concept. so far we just have a long discussion with no end result. i know that eggman vouches for how cool it is but personally i want to actually have a go on my own psp. whilst i truly hope that this is all true, so far there have been no videos or even screenshots. also the MAME build currently supports several titles at playable levels - so why not release it? i dont understand... Mike?

[oninotsume]

Benn,

Yes of course I was thinking of the future development of PSP MAME when there is actually something to make a page with.

MikeDX sounds real, but man if he isn't I swear I will cry.
