PSP GBA v1.2: Gameboy Advanced Emulator for PSP |
Ó
Over at the QJ Forum, Slasher started the thread "Poll for Requested Homebrew" to determine which homebrew application or games he should work on. The GBA emulator emerged as the most requested app (why am I not surprised?). As a result, Slasher released PSP GBA v1.2, the most recent build of the GBA emulator for the PSP originally created by psp298 and Miemt11. (Thanks to rob for the heads up.)The new build features all the basics plus some enhancements.
- Slightly faster emulation
- Fixed up the menu a bit
- State saves/loads
- Vsync, Frame skip, sound on/off, screen size(smoothing)
- ZIP support

Wow first we have no active GBA, now we have 2!! Awsome.
Glad to see the speedy updates! Keep it up
no active emulators? are u living under a rock this is the 2rd GBA emulator fool, vba was the 3rd
i wont even bother because i can imagine how "well" it runs right now.
Not one, but TWO GBA emus within a day, WICKEEEEDDD!!!
KEEP EM COMIN BABYYYYYY!!!!
I noticed this is not PSP VBA, anyways, glad to see the work! Keep it up.
Just tested it out and noticed that it IS indeed SLIGHTLY faster than the previous emu (by ZX-81). Even the smallest progress IS progress, so that's very good work Slasher.
Man it's hard to wait for the next updates, I'm so damn excited
Doesnt find my roms in the roms folder?
nice work slasher
I put them in the root directory.
is it faster tah vba?
Nice to see someone finally working on a GBA emulator...
I believe it is faster than VBA.
doesnt work on 2.60!!mine just freeze and shut off.
If this were ever to come out for 2.XX firmware, wouldn't some features be stripped out? Even if another version is made for just 1.50 firmware, the time for the next release will be pushed off for months.
PLEASE do not quit on us! Keep up the good work.
Hey, great work on getting this EMU going again.
Just a suggestion, but maybe you should consider collaborating with ZX on this one. I would think that it would be far smoother of a development if there were two people working on it.
But still, please stick with it. We all appreciate your effort.
And indeed, it is a bit faster. Maybe only a frame or two faster per second, but it's great to see things progressing.
WHAT? WHAT?! the day comes when a good GBA emulator comes out... and it dosent even work on 2.01+? COME ON!!
great job though, but come on. COME ON SHELLY. c'mon.
I think it is the best I have used so fas, speed wise. Runs Minish Cap almost full speed! Keep up the Great Work! Thanks!
WAHOO this is great i love gba keep up the good work
battle of the gba emus wahahaha!!!
... I prefer a good AMiGA emu (among better ever all platforms games), better MAME support and dreaming... Exult port and DOSBOX :)
still sucks on 2.6 god u guys need to fix it
Glad to see someone working on this! keep up the good work, wish gba emulator can hit full speed soon!
i have got to say that this guy is updating it very quick and what a very good job he is doing.
I have been waiting for a good gba emulator for a while now. keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
I was so happy but i tryed to play the pspvba but it did'nt work i choose a rom and than it's crashes out WHYYYYYY!!!!!
COME On SLASHER YOU CAN DO IT I WILL PRAY FOR YOU!!!!
Will this work on my DS LITE?
Im not flamming you but can't you see this a PSP website stop asking questions if this will work on other consoles it wont!
does this have audio support?
You can already play GBA games on the DS lite...
now with 2 GBA emus beign worked on by good devs, we will surely have some good progress in due time! I cant wait! I WANT TO PLAY MOTHER 3 ON MY PSP!!
But i meant in the psp emulator for DS that everyone talking about. Hookdev or something.
So how fast does it play on a 1.50? I dont wanna download it if it's not going to make gameplay enjoyable
I hope that a user mode version(+2.01) will be released
I have tested both emus with Advanced Wars and this one is faster but a litle more inconsistent, but this gets a good playable speed for this tipe of games.
The sound of both is terrible and better not to enable.
"i have got to say that this guy is updating it very quick and what a very good job he is doing.
I have been waiting for a good gba emulator for a while now. keep up the good work!!!!!!!!"
its a different emu then zx81s this hasnt been updated in months but im still verry excited
still very slow and unplayerable give it time i am sure will get faster and sound working
Thanx slasher for our great work, i just hope you continue to make this emulator better!
I hope this gets updated to work on FW 2.xx
Its faster than the last emu I had and this one is coming along...but its still a bit slow...keep up the good work..also I cant change the screen size from 3:2...
Is this one faster or the VBA???
Really, stop with the flaming about it not working on 2.X.
I say we let the developers do what they think is necessary to get the emulator to run full speed, then worry about compatibility with firmwares higher than 1.5.
SUDDENLY everyone remembered that PSP can emulate GBA...
It was about time to make a "What do you want?" poll.
the menu is more messed up now than in the original release. zip support is good though... and it is running a little smoother... pspvba was a huge improvement, now pspgba is back, and slightly smoother? the race is on.....
Maybe Slasher and ZX will become the next Psmonkey and Strmnrmn...
everyone with 2.01+ it is your own fault for being so impatient to get Sony`s security updates. Stop whinning 1.5 all the way!
I wanted sound support, the speed it runs at now is adequate. You know, just wanted to experience the game with it's sound.
will we see a NDS emulator?
WTF is the NDS EMULATOR? there is no such thing!
its nothing but a bunch of nerds itching to try to tell each other off and try to look smarter than the others.
Seriously. the topic is GBA not what you think of someones opinion of GBA. Lets stay on the topic.
Has anyone tried any of the Pokemon games?
Well, in case anybody cares, the real fps for this emulator (using Mario Kart as a test) is about 7.5fps. That's if there's no frameskip, no sound.
With the default frameskip of 2 (probably the maximum you'd want for an emulator), the game played like it was running at 14.5fps.
This was all based off using a stopwatch and comparing it to the time in a given track.
i hope that they make a better for my psp so i can play at full speed
You people with 2.6 stop complaining. I bet some of you had a 1.5 and upgraded. As long as it works for the rest of us i don't care.
Its cool to see this actually being worked on, can't wait for the next release. Keep up the good work, and ignore the whiners.
@ 58
Yea I have, pokemon ruby, sapphire and emerald. Emerald doesn't load at all (well it does but it stucks to the white screen, it does the same thing with all the GBA emus for PSP [side-note: this specific rom DOES however work when played on PC]). Ruby and Sapphire do load but they run slow as hell. There's not really any difference at all between all the GBa emus when it comes to these two games. Lookin forward to catch pkmons with ALMOSt full speed, if not FULL :)
i am giddy in ancitpation of this because ill be able to play mother 3, after BUYING a n64 waiting for this bloody sequel and being dissapointed again and again I cannot wait for this to come out and with the mother 3 patch (www.mother3.org) HOORAY
nice menu/option screens. Otherwise, really can't wait for the next version with hopefully speed increase and better sound support.
Thanks - keep up the great work!!!!!!
I wonder if access to kernel mode on 2.5/2.6 will increase the speed of the emu, seeing as how the firmwares have been cracked.
i hope this becomes a daily update, i mean i am really rooting for the next virons of this gba emulator. its really facinating. and why fight it. i mean if you have 2.6 you rock man.i mean why talk garbage on the internet. you know what it reminds me of a little moral, '' fighting on the internet is just like running in the specal olympics, no matter who wins your still retarted. so kiss and make up every one and stop fighing 2.6 and 1.5 who cares just take the hack and enjoy. plz no commets about my messages i would thank you if you wouldnt leave bad feed back for every 2.6 messager out there its just getting out of hand. plz lets just get along. and ty for the new update. even tho it doesnt work on 2.6 i would like to hope like a month from now all bugs will be fixed and i can play my favorate roms. good luck :)
hey can you please release a version that will work on psp version 2.6, i think that all psp 2.6 owner know that we make a terrible mistake by upgrading it, so i think that we are stupid. but could you please release a version that work on 2.6...ty
*claps*
man when they get these things running at about 20fps and atleast 15fps, it will be off the cahin like steve ballmer. i will have so many gba roms on my psp
you people can be so immature...
but anyways, go GBA emulator!
hey u can download it
