gpSP v0.5 (beta) Status: Compatibility Tests

Posted Aug 20, 2006 at 1:51PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Development, Homebrew Emulators, Emulators Tags: Exophase, gpSP, Metroid, Naruto, psp homebrews, Sonic, Zelda

It was only a really short while ago that we released the beta test (v0.5) of Exophase's gpSP GBA emulator for our beloved PSPs. The response since then is overwhelming! Many of you guys have tried gpSP out on some of your favorite games. Some games you've tried ran like a dream at full speed; others managed to get through with a few hitches. And there were some games that didn't load, or crashed while attempting to load.

Thanks to MonkeyBoy1916, Kyubi Naruto, SeikenZ, and all the helpful people at the comments and forum pages for the gpSP release/compatibility, we do have a rather long list of games that worked perfectly, games that worked (more or less), and games that so far didn't work when tried with the beta gpSP.

Please remember that both gpSP and this compatibility list are still a work in progress. And both need your help, the help of the PSP homebrew community. If there is a game you know that isn't on this list, give it a try on our own copy of gpSP and tell us the results! Tell us how the game ran on our PSP - how fast or slow (and at what points in the game), framerates/frameskips, sound issues, load/saves, the whole works! Detailed explanations will help the development process on this emulator.

Post your responses and suggestions in the release compatibility forum thread, or here at the comments page. We're sure Exophase will appreciate them.

Okay, what we did was post (unedited) the four lists we've collated from MonkeyBoy1916, Kyubi Naruto, SeikenZ, and from the comments page from the release coverage (thanks bled (unregistered) for sorting through the comments for us!) right here. It will be a really long list. There will be duplicate titles across the four lists, but we decided to keep them because:

there are cases when a game would work perfectly for one tester but would have a few hitches (or would crash) when tried by another tester (for example, Pokemon Emerald seems to have mixed results across testers);
some testers do give rather detailed comments, especially cases where a game would slow down or crash at certain points in the game; and
some comments do sound very interesting. Kyubi's little remark about needing CPR after seeing FFI/II run at full speed made us spill our drinks laughing!

Hopefully we at QJ will be able to sort through the list and produce a better-collated menu for the community. That will depend on the quality and helpfulness of responses you post here and the compatibility forum.

Oh, and MonkeyBoy, Kyubi, SeikenZ, and bled, we here at QJ can't ever thank you enough for your collations! You've certainly helped us (and Exophase) with what you've contributed!

Hey I got some advice for noobs or those who have not thought about it yet.

This is the best way to run Gpsp especially if you are testing multiple games.

kxploit it then use irshell to run it with app loading confirmation turned off then to change the rom all you do is exit emu to irshell then run it again. This is much much quicker then going back to xmb and reloading emu with gameboot delay!!!

# nice list — Guest 2006-08-20 15:04

very well done, many games tested in only about 1 day.

# Ricky Bobby — Guest 2006-08-20 15:06

# pointless — Guest 2006-08-20 15:42

this is kind of pointless. everyone knows roms with 32mb dont work only roms with 16mb. and look at the results EVERYTHING WORKS AT ALMOST THE SAME SPEED.

# wow — Guest 2006-08-20 15:45

nice! sry couldn't help, school starting soon, gotta stay off the PC, hope the next release include the size of screen, Most game look better with the GBA original screen size lol

I'll be updating periodically, if this thread doesnt die before he updates.

# @10 — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-20 16:01

wher did you get your golden sun

# ayrkain 2006-08-20 17:22

FF Tactics Advance crashes with a blue screen during the intro (where they open the book). Full speed with a 2 frame skip up until then though.

Summon Night works pretty good so far.

# Same as #10 — nllx 2006-08-20 17:34

My Golden Sun crashes after the Camelot logo.. what version are you guys using? I want to play GS soooo badly :( :( :(

# alien hominid rules — Guest 2006-08-20 18:03

my favorite game is alien hominid

# Guest 2006-08-20 18:21

# Golden Sun; #11 KuffoMan_11 — nllx 2006-08-20 19:08

I don't know if this is really the solution or if it's a stroke of luck (only tried 2 times) but when you get to the Camelot logo, right away press and hold triangle and push Up 2 times (for a frameskip of 2) and it might work. Again, I only tried this 2 times only so I dunno.

Exo, this is really awesome. Big props. Almost brought a tear to my eye hearing the Golden Sun battle music again, almost at perfect sound. :')

# ... — Guest 2006-08-20 19:17

@20. That's wierd... I didn't have to do anything and it works fine. Bad rom maybe?

# ??jw — Guest 2006-08-20 19:41

has anyone tested banjo kazooie

# Gram turismo — Guest 2006-08-20 19:59

Works great with it set 1 skip frame rate BUT must skip the tiltle screen. An other words before the car starts up push enter or it will crash. After that runs great. Playing golden sun right now and works great. Gran Turismo Advance is pretty cool.

# Zelda Minish Cap — Guest 2006-08-20 20:15

I played it it ran great and sounded great but after i got the map it crashed

# Guest 2006-08-21 02:20

Puzzle Fighter works but only at about 80 to 90%. Sound errors and minor raphical errors also. But still way better then any ohter GBA emu's by far. lets hope all it is is updating the config file.

# woot FFI FFII — Guest 2006-08-21 02:49

Man the fact that it runs full speed kicks, sure i already have both as nes roms, but i was a bit sad when i sold my GBA games when i got my psp, mainly the FF collection, nice

# EdgEy 2006-08-21 02:57

Yeah, spaz is right.. aria of sorrow and harmony of dissonance work fine, aria works at 0 frameskip in a lot of rooms, but CoTM is too slow even at like 4 frameskip :(

Having fun playing AoS tho

# Amazing... — Guest 2006-08-21 03:21

Super Robot Taisen! Now I don't need to lug my SP anymore :)

# ? — Guest 2006-08-21 06:15

# tekken advance — Guest 2006-08-21 06:27

Tekken advance works 80% speed im guessing and sound like crackles even on frame skip.

# To #10 — Guest 2006-08-21 06:43

DragonBall Advanced Adventure works perectly

# Guest 2006-08-21 07:04

Legend of zelda the minish cap crashes right after i get the smith sword :( but hey this emulator still rocks!!!

# Exophase 2006-08-21 07:13

Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland should work fine, but you MUST have game_config.txt in the same directory because you need the iwram_stack_opt imize value turned off. If it doesn't work the file might not have been copied there.

# xd — Guest 2006-08-21 07:16

Pokemon Leafgreen works pretty good (Maybe 90% speed and good sound at frameskip 2).

Leafgreen also saved. At least my version did.

However, growl crashed it when I used the move.

# does this work on fw 2.6 ta-082 gta eboot ? — Guest 2006-08-21 07:20

does this work on fw 2.6 ta-082 gta eboot ?

# xdxd — Guest 2006-08-21 07:20

Update on Leafgreen;

It said my save was corrupted, but it still loaded it and I was exactly was where I had been.

However, even turning off battle animation crashed when growl was performed.

# Exophase 2006-08-21 07:33

Also, you need game_config.txt for games like Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Super Mario Advance to run well (and chances are some of the games on the list that run VERY slowly will run better once I find their idle loops and add them). It'd be great if someone could bold that somewhere (to make sure you include game_config.txt) in the thread.

# helloo — Guest 2006-08-21 07:49

Great emulator dude! cant wait for the finished program!

# @21 Hey Tester.. — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 07:55

Hey c'mon stop teasing, I really want to play Golden Sun and I could never get it to work, maybe you could give me a link maybe even a description of a websit where I can find.

Can you try sharing you version of Golden Sun in Limewire under a specific name? Cause I got LimeWire 4.10, something like that.

# ok — Guest 2006-08-21 08:34

try pspgoldensun :D. i put it under that name.

# or — Guest 2006-08-21 08:38

kuffoman_11 i can email it to you. just remember at the loading screen press tirangle and set frame skip to 2 or 3 cause it throws a blue screen of death otherwise :D.

# wait? — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 08:42

is it in an .exe format, because that's whats coming out

# lol — Guest 2006-08-21 08:45

try pspgoldensun.rar and publisher: madonion

# WAIT! — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 08:54

madonion for some random shyt reason the version I got from that one link seems to screw up now, at first it was perfect now it's crap, I don't get I guess I'm not meant to play that game. :(

# tnx for tnxs — Guest 2006-08-21 09:34

hey qj staff

thanks for your appreciation, i did a little work

you also do a great job for us, so thanks

my reg user is ziobleed , but often i dont login ...

bye!!!

# I get now — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 09:47

every USA version of Golden Sun automatically crashed, but while the foreign versions seem to work great is there a foreign version translated in english

# Compatibility Thread Updated — SeikenZ 2006-08-21 12:03

I've stated in my compatibility thread that people should only try roms of 16mb, not larger. Also made clear that they need to have the game_config.txt in the same folder as their EBOOT.PBP (folder without the '''%'')

The list is now up-to-date as of 22/08/2006.

Thanks again for all the contribution to the thread! It's quite a list now!

# great — Guest 2006-08-21 12:54

max payne works wonderful

# Well I thought I had it...... — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 13:04

I thought I had the flawless rom and then BOOM! That stupid Mother-F***ing blue screen is telling me that the damn game has crashed my f***ing PSP once again, jeez!

So now it's still screwing up right after exactly in the same spot, right after I kill those stupid devil demons right in the beginning, shyt!!!

Alright now I'm gonna have to attempt something, the only GBA game I actually care about is Golden Sun and if I wait another damn minute for GS to not crash I'm gonna launch my PSP across the room into fiery pit of hell of non-working GBA games that continue to chip away on my soul, yes it's that f***ing important.

I'm gonna use the source and try as hard as I can to fix the bug, even though I can barely code a respectable Pong game, I'm trying.

It would be great to have some support, thank-you

p.s: Exophase I'm not hating the emu, just the glitch.

# Saving? — Guest 2006-08-21 13:08

Does anyone know if saving works in every game. And is there any way to do save states?

# . — Guest 2006-08-21 13:16

Here's the GBA emu all ready for you. BIOS included and even a couple of games to get you started. All you gotta do is drag and drop the two folders into your memory stick's GAME folder and presto. (This package is only for 1.50 PSPs!!!)

# Guest 2006-08-21 14:52

Tried Super Robot Wars OG, OG2, and J. OG and OG2 works fine, just need some frameskip adjustments for OG2. Super Robot Wars J just crashes right on the spot with the blue screen.

# THANK YOU!!! — Guest 2006-08-21 16:07

#57 op Thank You so much for taking the time to post the complete package. I came on this post to ask if someone would post it and there it was in front of me. Much props my man. Here it is again folks compliments of op.

# Golden Sun — Guest 2006-08-21 16:51

Hey, I posted yesterday that Golden Sun crashed at intro, I don't know what I was doing wrong but now I can load it, but it runs a bit choppy with sound errors. It crashes after the part where Saturos and Menardi hop away after beating the crap out of you.

# Guest 2006-08-21 18:19

I wonder if you could load the game in another GBA emu to get past the crashing point, and then continue in this emu. IE: Save in Zelda before getting the hyrule map, eek past it in another emu, save, and then reload in gpsp?

# @61 — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-21 21:02

I tried and no it's not possible

# Working perfectly... — Guest 2006-08-21 21:36

These games all work perfect for me:

-----Frameskip set to 3-----

-Pokemon Emerald

-Pokemon FireRed

-----Frameskip set to 2-----

-Super Mario Advance

-Sonic Advance

# final fantasy ta,pokemon firered — Guest 2006-08-21 22:04

ffta:this game keeps crashing around the book scene :(

firered:if ur opponent uses something like growl,thail whip nothing happens but if you use a move like that game crashes

# Guest 2006-08-22 06:51

Have tested Phoenix Wright 1 , 2, 3. all of them work well with 1 or 2 frameskip, just little sound problem.

# Question — Guest 2006-08-22 09:19

Do you need a specific version to play GBA games ?

# yay for this emu — Jumpin Jehosaphat 2006-08-22 09:45

just tested Super Dodgeball Advance and it works really good.

# I got it!!! — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-22 16:03

remember how I said I'd try many things to get golden sun to work, well now with the help of Boycott Advance I can save past the problem areas in the game, gpSP use th same save format so now I'm past the 2 guys that whoop you, YAY!!!

Just save in the game you choose

Rename the save according the rom name then

The save should work, I saved shortly after I got my azz whooped by the two devil dudes and now I'm past the crash point, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ESSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSS!!!!!!!!!!

# Uhmmm... — KuffoMan_11 2006-08-23 15:02

so now how do we save in Pokemon Fire Red, or Leaf Green, I need to know it's telling me need to change back-up memory, WTF!! I got the Golden Sun problem down, can I get help with the Pokemon prob.

-Thanx anyway for listening.

# sound problems with emu — Guest 2006-08-23 17:39

Has anyone else noticed that the sound can become out-of-sync with itself ? I was playing Sonic Advance 1. I got up to Ice Mountain Zone (Act 1) and the sound started to go out of sync. Like I know the tune but drums and stuff weren't playing at the correct time.

I only had one game to test. Can anyone else confirm if the sound does go out of sync in other games ?

# what I meant — Guest 2006-08-23 21:28

I can confirm that there is a bug in the sound emulation. This time I played Sonic Pinball Party.

# Summon Night — Guest 2006-08-25 14:52

Summon night crashed on me while I was doing that Curry cooking quest for master Sakura *think that's his name*. Specifically when he mentions the final ingredient which is LOVE.

# zelda — Guest 2006-08-25 15:36

Zelda Minish cap crashes at the Hyrule Map. good progress, hopefully it will work on next release.

# Firmware? — Guest 2006-08-25 16:13

Does this emulator work on firmware 2.6 using eloader?

# ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ — Guest 2006-08-26 03:49

YES

# Order-Sol 2006-08-26 06:16

1. Congrades on compiling this awesome emulator !! Can't wait to see Megaman Zero 2 and DBZ:SSW at full speed !! ^_^

2. About Dragonball: Advanced Adventure, it works perfectly 96% of the time; however, when you get up to where he fires the Kamehameha for the first time and parts of the Pilaf stage, the graphics get a bit messy (still playable, but hard to see). Other then that, best of luck with future releases !! ^_^

# Order-Sol 2006-08-26 06:29

Just tested River City Ransom EX and Super Puzzle Fighter.

Super Puzle Fighter:

Major sound and speed issues at frameskip 0-2. Not even playable. >_<

River City Ransom EX:

Works fine; however, could use some minor speed and sound touchup.

# Guest 2006-08-27 20:03

Minish Cap, I coulden't cut the brushs

# Zone of the Enders — Guest 2006-09-01 09:47

I just beat Zone of the Enders Fist of Mars using the 0.6 version of the emulator yesterday, worked great, but i recommend saving often, as it crashed randomly at parts in the game, a simple reboot usually lets u play through the part u crashed though. And a few times (maybe 3 times) it corrupted the entire emulator somehow, and would crash any game once u tried to press anything on the d-pad. Best of luck emulating, nice work on this emulator fellas.
