While I do think that I am kinda late to the party this video made me buy a PSP for myself and I can safely say that it's worth it, for real I use it daily and it's really good. Thank you.
Bought an used psp in great shape for like 30$ literally 5 months ago :))))) , it's just great, I love everything about it. I can red books on it, play games (duh :))) )
I know this is a late message but I'm hoping that you reply. Was it easy to setup? How are the games that use a mouse like Lemmings and Goblins etc? Have you had any issues and can you save state?
@@papa_sloth_gaming547 it was actually very easy to setup, you just have to have a USB mini cable so that you can connect the psp to a pc. (that's because you need to move some files over) You're also gonna need a 2 gb memory stick if you actually want to play a variety of games (but 64 mb cards work too for the setup. Now, you can pick which model to get of the psp, and I'm telling you this because you wanted to know if you can save state, anyways the models that can save state on pretty much all psp games are the 2000 and 3000, but you can still save state on the 1000, only on emulators. But, you have to consider, the 1000 is in terms of the quality, a way more premium device than the other 2 models, what I mean by that and this is only an opinion, so you don't really have to listen to me on this one, but the 1000 is more heavier and bulkier, it has a matte finish on the back and a better mechanism to open the UMD door. Now that we got that out of the way, I haven't played any mouse games on the psp, so I don't know how they play, sorry, about the if I had any issues, welĺ, it was always my fault, when some wired crap happend, but you still need to be careful with the psp, always watch tutorials, don't do anything your own, and make sure to update to the latest frimware before installing custom frimware (6.61)

Not exactly, while the Vita does have a semi active Homebrew scene, the psp had a far larger one in its day and has alot more Homebrew for it. But at least the Vita is backwards compatible.

I love these long videos as opposed to your very short ones, it feels very well thought out and well structured and super informative.

Keep doing you and don't get discouraged, you create very entertaining content!
Actually, the GBA was not capable of the SNES's Mode 7, but instead had a superior version, accessed by using graphics mode 2 of 5, for scaling and whatnot. Just thought I'd let ya know. This is due to the GBA using a 32-bit RISC CPU and not having the exact same architecture (far from it, honestly) as the SNES, and so it had to be built from scratch. However, this allowed for more varied use and more features.
This is very wrong. Yes, it had no "mode 7", but this is a good thing. Instead is has proper scaling hardware rather than the cheap/nasty hack "mode 7" used. With GBA you have much greater degrees of precision and flexibility, plus you can have scaling and rotating on multiple playfields (unlike the snes which is restricted to one). The fact its using an ARM cpu, regardless of bus width is also completely irrelevant when it comes to what can be done with graphics hardware (other than the influence a faster cpu has when you're software rendering), but even without a much, much faster cpu the gba gfx hardware is more capable than that of the SNES.
The reason MVSPSP wasn't working for you is that it doesn't turn roms into a readable format, it instead creates a cache based on each rom. This cache needs to be put in the cache folder of the actual emulator and have the rom in the roms folder. The neogeo bios is also required.
I'm pretty sure the Commodore emulator is pronounced "Vicky" and that's because both the VIC-20 and the 64 had chips in them called the VIC and the VIC-2 respectively. Both chips are related to sound and graphics processing, and are large parts of what made both of those computers so great for gaming back in the day. Thanks for the entertaining video!
WOW! When I left the PSP homebrew scene the Nintendo 64 emulator was so bad. At one point I thought ppl would give up but WOW I wasn't expecting it to be that good. Thanks for showing that.
I use to be heavy into the PSP emulation scene back then, but after getting my first smart phone and loading it up with emulators and then buying a controller for it I was pretty much hooked. I usually play my PSP games on my current phone or mainly on my PC these days.
Since you had to take the video down i just wanted to say again in a much shorter way that i love your video! Really liking the history vids you do. :)
@@hmgclipz6808 uncharted, killzone, lbp, soul sacrifice,freedom wars, tearaway, gravity rush, persona 4, ff7-10, borderlands 2, mgs hd collection, nfs most wanted, hell divers, salt and sanctuary, all psp games with dual analog support and some on native res now on the vita and list goes on I have switch and a vita vita was just underrated, they praise the switch so much but now it lacks aaa games just like the vita did but I don't see anyone complaining on the switch lol what a bunch of bullshit
About ps1 emulation. Not every game is working, and some of them don't have music if it's in another format (don't remember the name, but usually it's high quality music). Sometimes both problems could be fixed by changing POPS version. But for example I couldn't run Rollcage stage 2 on any of them. And yeah, great video!
Thank you for breaking all the emulators down save me a lot of time and trouble on which emulators to keep on PSP very good content I have to subscribe
What an amazing video. I cut my teeth on GBA modding, but the PSP is where I truly hit my stride, and you nailed almost every single possible point when it comes to emulation. Excellent narration, great editing and an all-around fantastic video. Bravo, sir.
Great vid! I watched the whole 1:18 of it. You pretty much mentioned the reason that my PSP 3000 is still my go-to emulation handheld. Even over my hacked Vita
initially the the psp emulator was used to run ps1 isos later dark alex worked out a way to put popstation into the cfw and the you could just create your own ps1 eboots from the iso... its sorta like yes we knew it existed but accessing the psp virtual ps1 was dificult so initially popstation was used for reading iso's, dark alex and prometheus team really blew the features out of the water was alot of that was thanks to dark alex
Hey, I just found your channel. Thanks for covering development history of Rayman games, haven't seen much people making videos about that. Format of your videos is almost comparable to guys like STIPO or MarphitimusBlackimus. Keep up the good work, dude!
The actual reason why the SNES Emulator for the PSP has the low battery warning is because the Savegames of the PSP are stored to the Memory-Card and storing data to the Memory-Card requires a certain voltage stability which a drained battery can't guarantee. 95% of the time everything will work great but there can always be a failure which can corrupt data already stored. (And I think there was an option to enable savestates and stuff even after the low battery warning)
A titanic work! Not intersted in 90% of all those systems though. SNES/Megadrive/GBA that's all I emulated back then on my PSP. But you did a tremendous job anyway! These days we can emulate systems up to WiiU on the go with GPD Win2 it's crazy!
A CFW PSP, 128GB micro SD and a Pro Duo adapter are a beautiful thing! I can play any game from my first 15 years of life, minus a few arcade ROMS. That's a hella good deal for under $100 in late 2019.
I know 2 years ago your Comment but I must give you an big thanks for that. I didnt now that there is an Pro Dou Adapter to Buy. Awesome! Because these Pro Dou Cards are very Expensive!
"promptly deleted" well you can't be too safe on TH-cam. Mostly I would assume romsets are stored on a hard drive for easy access when needed. Can't blame you for this disclaimer though as again, you can't be too careful.
While NES was my first console, the best feelings of nostalgia came from playing Canyon Climber through the Atari800 emulator on my PSP as that was the first game I remember ever playing at home in the early 80's.
I’ve been looking for this exact type of content for so long . P*ssed the algorithm hid it from me every time I search but I really appreciate such an extensive breakdown .
One thing I love about emulation that I never see mentioned is the abilities of the CD based systems to play audio CD images. Yeah they take up a lot more space than MP3s but there is something just cool about seeing the Sega Saturn's CD player interface putting out tunes or listening to music on the MegaCD, all on my phone. I wonder if the PSP is capable of doing that too?
Popeye at 11:46 works if you switch the Joypad to 2. While the keyboard is up, press LT to toggle between joypad 1 and 2. Haven't finished watching your video yet (about 25% through it) but I'm not experiencing any of the problems you're encountering. I've got a Slim with 5.00 M33-6. Great video BTW.
You mentioned that you never saw a classic GBA after the SP came out, which I find funny because my coworker brought his classic GBA to work to play on his break not long ago
As far as the Odyssey 2 goes, I owned one a long time ago. The confusion as to why you can't move is because some Odyssey 2 titles defaulted to using the SECOND joystick instead of the first joystick for control. This is a thing with the Odyssey 2 itself and not the PSP or the Emulator. If you can't move, set your default joystick to #2. I also have to do this with the XBOX OG Odyssey 2 emulator as well as O2EM on the PC.
I agree on MAME being weird and it's not talked enough. It requires unnecessary files and sometimes old versions works better. They don't care about enhancements either. That's why I use ZiNc (discontinued since 2005) over MAME for Playstation based arcade hardwares and hoping for a Sega ST-V emulator just for Tecmo World Cup 98.
I'm sure that this took an insane amount of time, and I appreciate every second of it! Any chance that you're considering doing a similar video for the Vita? I recently got one, but I'm not sure whether I should just be using Retroarch for everything, or if some of these PSP emulators would be better through Adrenaline
You did not just balance a Genesis on a Sega Saturn and pretend it's a Sega CD at 30:40! I won't have it! Give the Saturn a little more respect! I'm not actually that mad, it's actually a little humorous, I just noticed something was off at that part.
I bought a psp street used a while after it came out. It had a bad stick so i have decided to finally dust it off and mod it to play emulators on it. This video helped me allot with picking out what emulators to use for what consoles thank you!
55:30 - To explain your MAME conundrum; different Mame versions rely on different romsets. Usually one version to another only has a few small changes, but when you're jumping from something like Mame32 to Mame4All PSP, you're gonna have some very drastic changes. The sad part is, most romsites only carry the most recent version, or some other random one if they haven't been updated in a while, so it can be very hard to find what specific version that your PSP emulator is looking for. (Which is 0.34 or 0.36, I think) I think certain distros of it came with a tool to "fix" roms to the more recent romset, but I've never gotten those to work. Good luck!
@@FrameRater That kinda goes against the design philosophy of MAME in the first place. Their mission is to make the most accurate arcade emulator possible, and when they discover a way to make certain games more accurate, that's usually when they change them in the next romset. That's why other emulators like FBA and the couple of CPS/NeoGeo ones you showed here are a lot more forgiving on the roms you supplied. (And a lot faster, since accuracy isn't the primary goal.) Then again, MAME is open-source, so other than it sounds like a massive undertaking (there are over a hundred MAME romset variants now) someone could possibly do it, I guess.
@@SmaMan I really do think someone should make an alternative, like a REAL "Mame4All" or something. An individual emulator built from the ground up simply to run any game that's thrown at it, "perfect" or not. Some of us just want to play the games without the hassle.
The issue with mame is that they are in the quest of making the games emulation 100% accurate, they don't care about playability So the old version of mame32 uses what is referred to as "hacks" that is when they assume how a piece of the machine works and they just simulate the behavior directly but newer versions constantly remove such hacks and replace them with accurate emulation of the chip that did the behavior, so old roms need to add the missing binaries Also, the reason PAL and NTSC games have different compatibilities is because they run slightly different code
What’s sad is that the psp is probably a lot more capable on emulating some of these systems and games, but the emulators weren’t supported long enough
Emulation is a blessing for people that can't afford many systems and games. I can't thank emulation enough for introducing me to Pokémon, and letting me try many other games i would never be able otherwise.

Dude, I can't thank you enough for this video. I'd been trying to remember the name of that Salamander game for a long time. I'm also delighted to know of the existence of Game & Watch emulation. Never thought I'd see that.
Most of these emulators arnt working on your psp correctly because you are using psp go and the psp3001 has a higher rate of clocking and power so when I have tried any of these that didnt work for you they worked fine for me. All the way to ps1 amd n64 and they work perfectly.
20:10 FR the system was going to be released in 1984. But due to the video game crash it was delayed, And remember this was a struggling company that was barely able to survive the crash.
Man, the old PSP kacking days... I remember running WIndows 95 on that thing in the pursuit of "what crazy things can it run?" xD It wasn't great, or functional to any good degree, but it still ran xD
5:03 There is an "unofficial" way to capture video directly from a hacked vita and all you need is your charging cable and screen capture software for your PC like OBS. Search for PSVita Dock and UDCD_UVC. It doesn't record audio through the USB capture, but you can connect the audio out from the vita to the computer with an audio cable.
PSP is still an amazing portable emulation device, I use it nowadays and I consider it probably the best handheld I bought in my life... or, at least, it was before I bought my PSVita.
Fuse is almost perfect, you just didn't know how to use it. You should choose 128k to have sound (if supported). Many Spectrum games were 48k only so there was no sound. Also some were running properly only in 48k mode.
Using joysticks on ZX Spectrum and Amstrad/Schneider CPC. They are mapped to keyboard number row on Sinclair Interface II and CPC. Arrow keys where present on the keyboards are also mapped to Shift+ number keys 5-8. Games frequently also use joystick port 2 for player 1. :D It's a coin toss whether any given Spectrum game uses the above or a dedicated Kempston Interface. So there's a total of 4 control methods that you may need to try.
Unless the thumbnail is clickbait , why is the dreamcast logo present? I was under the impression psp would never be able to emulate dc (let alone ps vita). *EDIT:* Thank you for the timestamp! I stand corrected, unbelievable to see proof of it running on psp! Hopefully development on a dc emulator can continue on the ps vita or switch!

Mame works with a particular set of roms, so if your mame is based on a .65 version, you need the .65 romset version. That is because mame is always released with its matching romset.
I was searching youtube to find a video that would explain the various PSP emulator compatibility just a couple of days back and this video probably came out on the same day. Lucky coincidence!
Great video, very helpful. One suggestion though. Can you place a series of timestamps for the various emulators? I would like to take notes on the specific pros and cons of consoles im interested in and timestamps would help alot
Man seeing that Gibraltar Trade Center was super nostalgic for me, I used to go to that place every weekend and stare at the game vendor's stuff. Crazy to think you did that too, small world I guess.
The PsPgo is best used with the N340 charge n play stand using component cables displayed using the Playstation 3D Display, imo. Since the display has a built in zoom and screen filter for the PSP.

This is very wrong.
Yes, it had no "mode 7", but this is a good thing. Instead is has proper scaling hardware rather than the cheap/nasty hack "mode 7" used. With GBA you have much greater degrees of precision and flexibility, plus you can have scaling and rotating on multiple playfields (unlike the snes which is restricted to one).
The fact its using an ARM cpu, regardless of bus width is also completely irrelevant when it comes to what can be done with graphics hardware (other than the influence a faster cpu has when you're software rendering), but even without a much, much faster cpu the gba gfx hardware is more capable than that of the SNES.

All thanks too that mips CPU the psp uses. It's because of that that it can emulate the systems it can as well as it can.
I use to be heavy into the PSP emulation scene back then, but after getting my first smart phone and loading it up with emulators and then buying a controller for it I was pretty much hooked.
I usually play my PSP games on my current phone or mainly on my PC these days.
Since you had to take the video down i just wanted to say again in a much shorter way that i love your video! Really liking the history vids you do. :)
PSP was groundbreaker, I wish people take their effort in emulation to the PS Vita, that is way capable and powerful for this.
Yeah. The PS Vita was a sorry successor the beloved PSP because they barely made any cool games for it.
@@cemsengul16 "they barely made any cool games for it" you can´t be more wrong lol
@@Keezawea mind naming a few??
@@hmgclipz6808 uncharted, killzone, lbp, soul sacrifice,freedom wars, tearaway, gravity rush, persona 4, ff7-10, borderlands 2, mgs hd collection, nfs most wanted, hell divers, salt and sanctuary, all psp games with dual analog support and some on native res now on the vita and list goes on
I have switch and a vita vita was just underrated, they praise the switch so much but now it lacks aaa games just like the vita did but I don't see anyone complaining on the switch lol what a bunch of bullshit
@@eggnoggies481 I KNOW RIGHT?! It sucks!
You really deserved every like you’ve gotten. This was a lot of work and very informative.
About ps1 emulation. Not every game is working, and some of them don't have music if it's in another format (don't remember the name, but usually it's high quality music). Sometimes both problems could be fixed by changing POPS version. But for example I couldn't run Rollcage stage 2 on any of them. And yeah, great video!
For me, this system was an amazing emulation device to play tons of old-school systems on the go. At the time, nothing was really like it.
Thank you. This is one of the most helpful PSP videos I've seen on TH-cam.
There is a dreamcast emulator released for psp nulldc-psp 0.1 alpha
Kudos for putting up this video. Sure is a lot of work. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for breaking all the emulators down save me a lot of time and trouble on which emulators to keep on PSP very good content I have to subscribe
Awesome work!
Cant wait for the episode on PS VITA
What an amazing video. I cut my teeth on GBA modding, but the PSP is where I truly hit my stride, and you nailed almost every single possible point when it comes to emulation. Excellent narration, great editing and an all-around fantastic video.
Bravo, sir.
Great vid! I watched the whole 1:18 of it. You pretty much mentioned the reason that my PSP 3000 is still my go-to emulation handheld. Even over my hacked Vita
initially the the psp emulator was used to run ps1 isos later dark alex worked out a way to put popstation into the cfw and the you could just create your own ps1 eboots from the iso... its sorta like yes we knew it existed but accessing the psp virtual ps1 was dificult so initially popstation was used for reading iso's, dark alex and prometheus team really blew the features out of the water was alot of that was thanks to dark alex
Hey, I just found your channel. Thanks for covering development history of Rayman games, haven't seen much people making videos about that. Format of your videos is almost comparable to guys like STIPO or MarphitimusBlackimus. Keep up the good work, dude!
MarphitimusBlackimus was a subscriber at one point!
The actual reason why the SNES Emulator for the PSP has the low battery warning is because the Savegames of the PSP are stored to the Memory-Card and storing data to the Memory-Card requires a certain voltage stability which a drained battery can't guarantee. 95% of the time everything will work great but there can always be a failure which can corrupt data already stored. (And I think there was an option to enable savestates and stuff even after the low battery warning)
So great. Thank you for this great video.
I remember this video having an introduction... guess not
That windows live messenger sound effect spooked me in a way I don't think I can truly describe.
A titanic work! Not intersted in 90% of all those systems though. SNES/Megadrive/GBA that's all I emulated back then on my PSP. But you did a tremendous job anyway!
These days we can emulate systems up to WiiU on the go with GPD Win2 it's crazy!
The amount of vinesauce joel references in this is staggering
A CFW PSP, 128GB micro SD and a Pro Duo adapter are a beautiful thing! I can play any game from my first 15 years of life, minus a few arcade ROMS. That's a hella good deal for under $100 in late 2019.
I know 2 years ago your Comment but I must give you an big thanks for that. I didnt now that there is an Pro Dou Adapter to Buy. Awesome! Because these Pro Dou Cards are very Expensive!
Um i have several *L e g a lly* aquired games
i have some but now i just pirate them
@@couchgamingnews9379 it's sarcasm u imbecile
Couch gaming news Smh sarcasm
I only consider it piracy when you download new games all those old ones that developers no longer sell are fair game in my opinion.
Hymie Camp this is a fact. If copyright license has expired, emulating is a 100% legal.
did i just sit here for 80 minutes watching this
"promptly deleted" well you can't be too safe on TH-cam. Mostly I would assume romsets are stored on a hard drive for easy access when needed. Can't blame you for this disclaimer though as again, you can't be too careful.
EXCELLENT video now i know the limitations of roms
While NES was my first console, the best feelings of nostalgia came from playing Canyon Climber through the Atari800 emulator on my PSP as that was the first game I remember ever playing at home in the early 80's.
I’ve been looking for this exact type of content for so long . P*ssed the algorithm hid it from me every time I search but I really appreciate such an extensive breakdown .
One thing I love about emulation that I never see mentioned is the abilities of the CD based systems to play audio CD images. Yeah they take up a lot more space than MP3s but there is something just cool about seeing the Sega Saturn's CD player interface putting out tunes or listening to music on the MegaCD, all on my phone. I wonder if the PSP is capable of doing that too?
Popeye at 11:46 works if you switch the Joypad to 2. While the keyboard is up, press LT to toggle between joypad 1 and 2. Haven't finished watching your video yet (about 25% through it) but I'm not experiencing any of the problems you're encountering. I've got a Slim with 5.00 M33-6. Great video BTW.
I like how I still react to the MSN sound. Rest in Peace, Sweet Prince.
I love your sense of humor, it adds to your videos. :P
I love that he’s playing on the PSP Go!
You mentioned that you never saw a classic GBA after the SP came out, which I find funny because my coworker brought his classic GBA to work to play on his break not long ago
pity this is now incredibly outdated...
@@darkknightredius9936 why?
much like your opinion
As far as the Odyssey 2 goes, I owned one a long time ago. The confusion as to why you can't move is because some Odyssey 2 titles defaulted to using the SECOND joystick instead of the first joystick for control. This is a thing with the Odyssey 2 itself and not the PSP or the Emulator. If you can't move, set your default joystick to #2. I also have to do this with the XBOX OG Odyssey 2 emulator as well as O2EM on the PC.
I agree on MAME being weird and it's not talked enough. It requires unnecessary files and sometimes old versions works better. They don't care about enhancements either. That's why I use ZiNc (discontinued since 2005) over MAME for Playstation based arcade hardwares and hoping for a Sega ST-V emulator just for Tecmo World Cup 98.
I've got the same MSN sound for my discord & kept checking my DMs 😂
I'm sure that this took an insane amount of time, and I appreciate every second of it! Any chance that you're considering doing a similar video for the Vita? I recently got one, but I'm not sure whether I should just be using Retroarch for everything, or if some of these PSP emulators would be better through Adrenaline
I'm thinking of it but it wouldn't be for a while.
Late to the party but anyone knows the software that he uses to manage the emulators into sections (as generations)?
That MSN sound kept making look for my non-existant windows live messenger to see who messaged me lol
I am so glad, I wasn't the only one lol.
Have you ever thought about doing one of these for the Vita or is there not enough of a difference in playable emulators between the two?
You did not just balance a Genesis on a Sega Saturn and pretend it's a Sega CD at 30:40! I won't have it! Give the Saturn a little more respect!
I'm not actually that mad, it's actually a little humorous, I just noticed something was off at that part.
I bought a psp street used a while after it came out. It had a bad stick so i have decided to finally dust it off and mod it to play emulators on it. This video helped me allot with picking out what emulators to use for what consoles thank you!
55:30 - To explain your MAME conundrum; different Mame versions rely on different romsets. Usually one version to another only has a few small changes, but when you're jumping from something like Mame32 to Mame4All PSP, you're gonna have some very drastic changes. The sad part is, most romsites only carry the most recent version, or some other random one if they haven't been updated in a while, so it can be very hard to find what specific version that your PSP emulator is looking for. (Which is 0.34 or 0.36, I think) I think certain distros of it came with a tool to "fix" roms to the more recent romset, but I've never gotten those to work. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the information. Why can't someone just make a MAME that supports all romsets? That can't be too hard can it?
@@FrameRater That kinda goes against the design philosophy of MAME in the first place. Their mission is to make the most accurate arcade emulator possible, and when they discover a way to make certain games more accurate, that's usually when they change them in the next romset. That's why other emulators like FBA and the couple of CPS/NeoGeo ones you showed here are a lot more forgiving on the roms you supplied. (And a lot faster, since accuracy isn't the primary goal.)
Then again, MAME is open-source, so other than it sounds like a massive undertaking (there are over a hundred MAME romset variants now) someone could possibly do it, I guess.
@@SmaMan I really do think someone should make an alternative, like a REAL "Mame4All" or something. An individual emulator built from the ground up simply to run any game that's thrown at it, "perfect" or not. Some of us just want to play the games without the hassle.
weed need vita update 2024@@FrameRater
These emulators are impressive, but watching this long video without a quality drop because of you getting tired or it is more impressive. Good job!
The issue with mame is that they are in the quest of making the games emulation 100% accurate, they don't care about playability
So the old version of mame32 uses what is referred to as "hacks" that is when they assume how a piece of the machine works and they just simulate the behavior directly but newer versions constantly remove such hacks and replace them with accurate emulation of the chip that did the behavior, so old roms need to add the missing binaries
Also, the reason PAL and NTSC games have different compatibilities is because they run slightly different code
What’s sad is that the psp is probably a lot more capable on emulating some of these systems and games, but the emulators weren’t supported long enough
Emulation is amazing. I wouldn't be able to play a quarter of the games I am interested in if not.
Same, I likely wouldn't have tried the Persona series if I didn't have PCSX2 or RPCS3.
Emulation is a blessing for people that can't afford many systems and games. I can't thank emulation enough for introducing me to Pokémon, and letting me try many other games i would never be able otherwise.
@@Gamesfan34260 Yeah, I was about to say, 'I'm looking at you, Persona 5.'
Álvaro de Bazán thank you for commenting on a year old comment to brag about your collection. I am so grateful for your input. Just kidding shut the fuck up dude.
@@CanaldoZenny I re-discovered Klonoa because of emulation, and I love it.
This is a good overview. I think however PSP emulation still has some way to go before it can be used for anything other than PSP and PS1. 🤔

Thank you a million! Also, PSP 3000 is his top recommendation for psp to buy, unless you are willing to get the Vita!
Dude, I can't thank you enough for this video. I'd been trying to remember the name of that Salamander game for a long time.
I'm also delighted to know of the existence of Game & Watch emulation. Never thought I'd see that.
Most of these emulators arnt working on your psp correctly because you are using psp go and the psp3001 has a higher rate of clocking and power so when I have tried any of these that didnt work for you they worked fine for me. All the way to ps1 amd n64 and they work perfectly.
20:10 FR the system was going to be released in 1984. But due to the video game crash it was delayed, And remember this was a struggling company that was barely able to survive the crash.
Man, the old PSP kacking days... I remember running WIndows 95 on that thing in the pursuit of "what crazy things can it run?" xD It wasn't great, or functional to any good degree, but it still ran xD
5:03 There is an "unofficial" way to capture video directly from a hacked vita and all you need is your charging cable and screen capture software for your PC like OBS. Search for PSVita Dock and UDCD_UVC. It doesn't record audio through the USB capture, but you can connect the audio out from the vita to the computer with an audio cable.
you should try gambatte as part of retroarch for your GB/GBC emulation. Every game that I threw at it ran flawlessly.
PSP is still an amazing portable emulation device, I use it nowadays and I consider it probably the best handheld I bought in my life... or, at least, it was before I bought my PSVita.
It's been almost 3 years but this video still kicks ass. You're so close to 100k! Congratulations!!!
I own my PSP since 2006! I love this console! Best portable ever! Thanks for the video.
Fuse is almost perfect, you just didn't know how to use it. You should choose 128k to have sound (if supported). Many Spectrum games were 48k only so there was no sound. Also some were running properly only in 48k mode.
Using joysticks on ZX Spectrum and Amstrad/Schneider CPC. They are mapped to keyboard number row on Sinclair Interface II and CPC. Arrow keys where present on the keyboards are also mapped to Shift+ number keys 5-8. Games frequently also use joystick port 2 for player 1. :D
It's a coin toss whether any given Spectrum game uses the above or a dedicated Kempston Interface. So there's a total of 4 control methods that you may need to try.
Dreamcast logo was in the thumbnail, didn’t see Dreamcast in the description :(
The Dreamcast is more powerful than the PSP making emulation impossible, clickbait is disappointing though
1:09:00
58.00 you don't need to reinstall the games you can just press start then select device
Unless the thumbnail is clickbait , why is the dreamcast logo present? I was under the impression psp would never be able to emulate dc (let alone ps vita).
*EDIT:* Thank you for the timestamp! I stand corrected, unbelievable to see proof of it running on psp! Hopefully development on a dc emulator can continue on the ps vita or switch!
1:09:00
Is not still possible to play Red Earth on a psp, right?!😭
I have a 128gb sd card in my psp, it takes 8 seconds to load everything in the xmb menu, but it works without issue
Alanna Lopez it’s normal
Excellent video! But you missed the PC-98 emulators; would love to know if those are playable.
Can you please make a FULL pack of all these emulators ONLY NO ROMS?
As someone who used to use MSN Messenger; it drove me nuts whenever you'd give the rating. I'd keep thinking "Emma's online :D!" and then remember "Oh yeah we use Trillian now and she's in such a different time zone she's only on at 6 am and we only talk on Twitter now :("
Thanks Frame!
58:45 Move the ROM file into the root of your system and make sure the filename has no spaces. Same with the folder Names.
My favorite part was ant eater! And also the rest of the video too.
Why do so many people use your avatar? Is there some kind of cult?
@@akpokemon there is actually a video of why people are using the J.C Denton icon. It supposed to bring in good luck and so far I been given good luck.
I'M STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILL IN A DREAMMMMMMM.....AAAAAAAAANT EATERRRRRRRRR!
(In all seriousness, I love that song and it's so unfair that he had to remind me of it when it's so late, I can't just start wailing off-key XD)
Mame works with a particular set of roms, so if your mame is based on a .65 version, you need the .65 romset version. That is because mame is always released with its matching romset.
Darn it, now I have to give this video arbitrary retention time again.
dude ! that is far most the best video on psp emulation !!
I started my emulation career on a PSP back in the day. I might get a Vita to hack.
I was searching youtube to find a video that would explain the various PSP emulator compatibility just a couple of days back and this video probably came out on the same day. Lucky coincidence!
Great video, very helpful. One suggestion though. Can you place a series of timestamps for the various emulators? I would like to take notes on the specific pros and cons of consoles im interested in and timestamps would help alot
Man seeing that Gibraltar Trade Center was super nostalgic for me, I used to go to that place every weekend and stare at the game vendor's stuff. Crazy to think you did that too, small world I guess.
Yep, same. Not as frequently though haha.
I remember downloading pirated PSP ISOs and installing them ACK ACK ACK
Funny, I remember dumping my own discs so i didn't have to carry them around and hear CLACK CLACK CLACK.
@@deadmetalbr and risk hearing the CRACK CRACK CRACK
What Tha FACK FACK FACK
Thank you for this video, there's a lot I didn't know about the PSP
...nah, snes9x euphoria is what i use, and it's great.
Also, gpsp kai plays gba games really good
What best: gpsp kai or tempGba4Psp
?
TempGBA4PSP is much more recent and a thousand times better.
Also, Snes9x euphoria is bloody terrible.
The PsPgo is best used with the N340 charge n play stand using component cables displayed using the Playstation 3D Display, imo. Since the display has a built in zoom and screen filter for the PSP.
I, too, would wet my pants if I has Sam Xbox on the go...
