PSP: Emulation

[MuGen]

I like the idea of having these games there when you need them. Say I forget my UMD's I can call upon the powers of the older generations and play those games.

I mean...I may be speaking for myself only when I say, I STILL have fun playing Revenge of the Shinobi for Genesis..... or how about Streets of Rage?

Reminds me.. I haven't tried out Star Ocean yet.

thing is, Some new games for PSP are going to have automatic firmware updates in them.


so you may buy a PSP game, and your emulators will no longer work. be careful what you buy

Then I'll hold off getting games until flames come abound about peoples Emulators getting disabled and know which ones to avoid

Kinda like the whole Star Wars Trilogy DVD with the demo on Xbox that auto-updated the dashboard and wiped out some people's hacks and they got utterly pissed about it

The good thing is, there isn't even a game I want to buy in the next year. Take that, Sony!

Yeah, PSP is completely worth the money now. I'm glad I bought it. I take it with me everywhere.

Dev teams all over will constantly hack and hack... eventually they will find a way around these endeavors and even design emulators that can work on ANY firmware PSP.

more likely then finding away around every version, are things like, a program/hack that would tell the new games that your psp is the highest version, therefor the new games wouldnt update anything, or make like a version switching program for the psp.

something well be done to get around it no doubt.

- For anyone interested in getting rid of the Currupt Data icons -


rename the normal folder with ___1 at the end, getting it up to EXACTLY 33 characters long.
Then rename the % folder with a ~1% at the end.

EXAMPLE

SNES emu, folders names are SNES9x and SNES9x%

rename SNES9x to, SNES9x__________________________1
-(26 underscores getting the total characters in the name up to EXACTLY 33)
rename SNES9x% to, SNES9x~1%

example 2
PSPersonalize
rename PSPersonalize to PSPers__________________________1
rename PSPersonize% to PSPers~1%

doesnt seem to like really long ones like PSPersonalize, so make them shorter and fill in with extra underscores to get it to 33 chars.




Now its been said by some that fewer then 6 characters in the name before you add the underscores sometimes doesnt work. so for me i just made sure they were all at least 6 chars, like i had one folder named RIN, i made it RINgbc or RINemu then added the ___...1 to get it to 33 characters total. But maybe that was for OVER 6, perhaps under 6 works fine.




[EDIT] oh yes, and the EMU might not know where your roms are when you turn it on after doing this, so you'll just have to show it the new folder and it should be fine from then on.



[EDIT2] i changed it above for the PSPersonalize one, it doesnt seem to like when the name part of the folder name is longer then 6 or so, so instead of PSPersonalize___(etc)1, i made it PSPers__________________________1
