Anyone else think that emulators on the PSP suck

Breetai, did you have any issues getting PCE for PSP to work?

None whatsoever.

However, I am using a PSP-3000, where I need to use the sort of custom firmware (CFW) where it goes back to the original firmware if I completely shut the power off (the CFW is just stored in the RAM). I've heard that some homebrew only works using this CFW, while some other homebrew only works on the older style. Maybe PCE for PSP only works with the newer style?

Sorry for being so vague, but I don't remember the names of things and I don't feel like looking them up.

No worries. I don't know the names either, but I'm aware of what you're referring to. Its interesting that you're using a 3000. From what I was finding on the subject I figured a 1000 would be best, but I guess not, so you must be right about it needing the newer style.

I'm not sure exactly what PCE for PSP requires in terms of firmware stuff, but its become clear to me that whatever its looking for, mine ain't it. I've got a 2000 with some hack or another running on it (I did it months ago, and mine sticks around on the memory stick), but I can't be bothered to figure it out and then look for something compatible. After the amount of time I put into this, I'm kinda throwing my hands up on it.

I've got things running with PSPHugo at least. Its full of problems, which vary by game, but I can use it.

You know what all of my nonsense proves though? No god damn emulator will ever compare to the real deal.

The real challenge is finding a PSP that can be modded at all. You have to get reeeally lucky nowadays. The US Gov. is to child pornography as Sony is to piracy.

How do I get games running on PCE for PSP? I downloaded Lords of Thunder but am not sure how to get it working. It's a .rar file. I extracted everything and PCE for PSP does not seem to find any file to boot from the extracted files.

Can anyone tell me how well Chrono Trigger (SNES) runs on the PSP?

I remember Lords of Thunder being a pain to setup. I think the CD PCE games are more complicated. It involves downloading the BIOS (remember there were Hu cards to get the CD-ROM add-on working on real hardware). And there might be something you need to do to get the audio tracks to work right. It's been a while since I did it, so can't remember off the top of my head, but whatever emulator you downloaded should have a README file that addresses this.

Ok i need to know, does someone find a emulator that runs Shantae on psp?
Every single one i try has the same problem, the sprites are a mess.
Really looks like everyone just change the name of the emulator and called their own...

And i have a snes emulator that is allmost flawless, has a little bit of slow down on yoshi's island. And some glithy moments on secret of evermore but nothing serious.

This is kinda funny, because the LameBoy emulator for my R4 card on my DS runs Shantae lol.

Also Super Mario RPG runs slow on the PSP and that is like one of the few games i cant emulate on my DS, so i would agree with the TC and say the PSP does suck for emulating.

Let us hope the Vita gets some hacks soon, im sure that thing will run Super Mario RPG at full speed, if not then lol.

Only suck emulating shantae and a few SNES games, but for the rest is amazing. Genesis is perfect to my eye, and i have a good amount of arcade games of capcom in there that works amazing.

Looks like i have another reason to get a DS... just for shantae and the sequel.
