Hey guys, I actually dedicated today to just suping up my PSP. I managed to get everything to work ranging from Super Nintendo, Nintendo, and Sega Genesis. Everything runs great. But the only problem im having now is Game Boy Advanced. I cant seem to find a good emulator anywhere for that. Im definitly looking forward to trying Metal Slug, Advanced Wars, & Golden Sun on here. Can anyone help me? RC? DaDakota?
I didn't think they had any GBA emulators (or at least good ones), but here's one that I found after a quick search: http://pspupdates.qj.net/2005/10/psp-gba-v11-released.html Not sure how well it works though. I am under the impression that it is a bit harder to emulate the GBA than the other systems, and the others aren't even perfectly emulated yet (outside of maybe the NES).
GBA (last I heard, a few months ago) Isn't working too well. SNES/NES/GB were probably the best ones. Genesis worked pretty well too.
Extremely ignorant question coming up: What exactly is an "emulator". I know its a way to play old video games on the computer. Or atleast I think. But is there a way to play old nintendo games on PSP, or Xbox or Playstation or anything? I would kill to be able to do that!
You answered your own question. An emulator is a program that mimics, or "emulates" another system/program. There are NES/SNES/Genesis emulators for XBox and PS2, but you need a modchip to run them. If you're just looking for a good NES emulator for a console, I highly recommend putting $25 on a Sega Dreamcast as no modchip is required for emulation However, the only systems it can run at fullspeed are NES, Sega Master System, and Gameboy/Gameboy Color.
Oh btw, a decent PC will run everything up to N64 fullspeed if you'd rather not bother with burning discs for your console. Just get a decent controller, download the programs and roms and you're good to go. Emulators: www.zophar.net roms: www.planetemu.net French site, but extremely reliable.
Thanks guys, i really appreciate it. I actually have this empulator in my psp and running. Everything looks great, but it doesnt produce sound. Kind of stinks. Thanks though RC.
Can you guys let me know whenever you find out cool stuff for the psp? Ill definitly do the same. I actually got a copy of grand theft auto liberty city stories for christmas, but im too scared to upgrade to 2.0. Cause i dont want to lose all the cool emulators i have. Are you guys pretty experienced with the whole downgrade, upgrade deal? Is it safe to do?
