PSX-P Alpha Release Tomorrow! [Update] |
A French PSP website, PSP-Generation has informed us that the alpha build of Yoshihiro's PSX emulator will be released tomorrow! Before we go into the exciting news, I would just like to remind everyone that this is an Alpha build and may not run many games at all.
If you recall, PSMonkey / Nexis2600 released the first N64 emulator and it could only play a few demos with poor framerate. So, if you are expecting to play a Final Fantasy game on this emulator tomorrow, I would suggest brining those thoughts down as it most likely will not be playable.
As my High School French is fading away, I managed to grab some important information from the site. This early build will be released with the ability to use ISO and BIN files - just need to worry about getting a big enough memroy stick! The emulator will be released tomorrow at approximately 8:00 PM. I'm assuming this is the time at which it will be in
Update: Seems as if there was already a video uploaded of the emulator in motion! Huge thanks to MrDank for taking the video (don't ask him for the emulator) and for telling us about it! You can watch the teaser video and one of gameplay videos below:
Update 2: Added two more videos of PSXP in action, this time with Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer 1

Comments [refresh]
first post just to get you guys mad.
This is going to be awsome! I hope it will be playable later on in the releases.
Cool...but I'll wait for the official emulator ;)
looks like they're tryin to give sony a run for their money...

best news i heard in awail from psp updates good bye snes hello GBA and PSX
hels ya thats kool
It's about time someone is working on a PSX emu. Here, everyones trying to make an N64 emu, yet no one is working on a PSX emu, which would have a better chance of being playable. The alpha release probably won't work so great, but lets hope in the future that this emu becomes as hard-worked on as Daedalus, because if so, maybe it could become playable.
Besides, a lot more people own a PSX than an N64... I personally thought PSX was a better system (RPGS).
yay
@9
It was just a simple clerical error, chill boddy, and drink in the love that is PSX.
wow nice thx
I was beginning to wonder if we'd see a group who'd work on a PS1 emu for the PSP. Just another awesome piece of homebrew to look forward to!
nocomment
How are thease going to work?!?
-Right and left Analog(all axis)
-L3 R3 Button
-R2 L2
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
There is no L3 or R3 buttons on the PSX. Those two buttons were introduced in the PS2, I believe. The Sound button and Screen button could be used as L2 and R2, but it would be a akward. The two analog sticks aren't required for all games. FF7 doesn't use them.
Great start at a emulator, but I'll wait until its at playable speeds or for the official one by $ony.
OMG yessssssssssss
this looks even smoother than Daedalus!
TO #16 there are actually R3 and L3 on PSX games like Ape Escape
"Winners dont use drugs"
What about Riiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiii idge Racer!!!! ?
Yeah I sort of forgot about that. Well some of the earlier games would work great without those buttons. Everything before Ape Escape :P. I have the old demo somewhere at my house.
Aren't roms from cartages and cds are isos?
hmm this is good news, great news infact especially if it gets running to a playable speed which i think is very possible due to the fact sony are making an official emulator. i think in the long run this might harm sony sales in umd games...but memory stick sales...particularly larger capacity sticks will fly off shelves.
I've only been here (QJ.net) for a week and I'm amazed at how many of the comments come off as rude or plain vicious. Why don't you just enjoy the fact that some people actually try to use their brain for constructive stuff - like programming all these wonderful stuff for your hardware.
Imagine the expertise it takes to pull off some of these things - despite Sony's efforts to prevent them. A little gratitude is the least one should give.
Lastly - who gives a **** about timezones??? The guys running this site are clearly working at maximum speed without us paying them (there are new publications popping out constantly here) - if you don't like to get the latest info on the PSP stuff, go to a site that fits you better.
But umm, this is by Yoshihiro and if you remember his 2.0 downgrader video, boy it looked real, but it was later proven fake. I really hope Yoshi's changed his ways.
Go to ....
DON'T ASK FOR ISO'S DUMBASS'S!!!! Use the google for *****s sakes!
Thank you.... :)

all the trolls are now gone
This is nice and all but I think I will wait for the sony one. First off it will work much better since it is being programed by professionals with official tools.
Secondly Sony will most likely stream line the games to make the file size the smallest it can be to run so no need for a huge iso file.
Last but not least they will have a list of games that run on it. Unlike this where it is pretty much trial and error as to what games will play. Although it wouldn't take me more than 5min to download a PS1 iso I don't want to have to download a large iso file just to find out it doesn't work.
Don't get me wrong I have great respect for all developers and the time and effort they put into their creations. It is just that this is not something I am really excited about.
looks good...I was expecting more peopel to have posted comments though...it seemed to run at a decent speed
yoshihiro is a joke, anything with his name on it is BS, i wouldn't pay attention to this at all
lol batman!!
Once it gets released then people like NJ can make it tha Bizzomb
I can not wait!!! Ive been waiting for a good new release for a while now
OMFG STOP FCKEN WASTING UR TIME ! 3.0 IS GONNA HAVE PS1 IN IT ALREDY, GOD DAM , WHICH WILL BE OUT IN THE NEXT MONTHS OR SO , SO STFU
to you people saying "Im gonna wait for sonys official emulator whippee!!!" you know that sony is gonna charge you for every game you want to play whether you own it already or not. So if i were you i would get used to using this emulator.
Hi guys! Cool PS emu on PSP! Will this work for all firmwares? And how large a memory stick do you need exactly? I only have a 512Mb Memory Stck :(
and it IS RIIIIIIIDGE RRRRRAAAAAACEER RRRRR... that's right, the french guy demo's ridge racer, basically he says this kind of thing:
'this is to show those who say "oh it's a fake" or "it'll never come out" that it's actually here, look see...'
also, maybe in one of the other articles, at least somewehre, they say it HASN'T got a complete dynarec : this means it is going to run slowly...
and it runs slowly, basically at about 4 fps or so... maybe less in fact.
but he mentions that tekken1 tekken2 and tekken 3 all run... it will release at 8pm on sunday french time, that's 7pm gmt... you work it out from there.
i'm excited! hopefully they'll be able to do a cda-mp3 hack so that i can just put in mp3's rather than cd music... if not i'll just delete the cd music
@7
dude lots of ppl probobly tried
but it's really difficult
this emu has been in development for a while i bet
so dont say finally someone started :)
you keep asking about "how will you handle the L2/R2/etc, but don't you think Sony won't be running into the same problem?
yea L2/R2 might be a problem but not many of the more popular gams like FFVII use the left analog. L3/R3 who cares unless you wanna play ape escape. Tekkens dont use it either so thats some good news. I hope sony comes up with a cheap addon for their emulator who through usb adds on the L2/ R2 and the left analog. Many thanks Yoshiro and SonyXtem for brining some final evicdence of a good PS1 emulator. If sony does make taht addon, amybe you guys and incoporate that in your latter releases.
Any idea if someone is making a SS emu???
I hope the source is released or made available within some repository. The community will be able to quickly improve the speed of this very promising emulator.
The fact that the PSP and PSOne share many similarities could lead to almost natively running games using static recompilation which would result in good speed.
DER LOOK AT ME IM GOINA WAIT TO GET THE OFFICAL P1 EMULATOR WITH Firm ware NUMBERD 3.0 heheh! uhh yeah but once you get sony's ps1 emulator with firmware 3.0 you can basicly forget about having any other kind of emulator for any game system or homebrew apps on you psps
This looks so cool, I can't wait to start testing games.
The PSX emulator looks and runs pretty smoothly for an alpha stage, nice job and continue the work, its going to be amazing!!
omg! tihs is so cool!
il check it out tommorow then
Backdrop, you are probably the most intelligent poster I've seen here in a long while. I welcome someone such as you who is neither vicious, vindictive, nor voluminously vapid. Please, do continue to make your presence known.
funny all you people talking about sonys ps emu. you do know it wont run with iso, so you'll have to rebuy the games you have. I like a lot of people have a psx and many games I can make a backup(iso) of and play on a non-sony emu.
also like 47 said you wont catch me upgrading for anything sony will release. no addons (FW) have been worth giving up FULL Homebrew, none.
french dont suck... ZX is french rite?
aww man this is awesome, just gotta wait now for either official or unofficial dont matter to me ...
ppl r questioning r2/l2 junk ... think about that the r3/l3 were released late .... so then the earlier game had the old controllers (with no dual sticks) so it is just an idea that this dude is using the psp stick for r2/l2
ohh well that is IMO .... fingers crossed for MGS1 ... gonna be awesome.
one more thing .... will he release isos along ... cause that is kinda piracy?
Now I have a reason to buy a 4 gig memstick now. The 2 is only getting me so far... This sounds awesome. Castlevania SOTN on the go almost makes me want to arrive.
I'm just prayin that the FF's work well on this emu eventually...oh and for those who think this emu is just coming out of nowhere I have been reading about this emu since early summer. PSPU prolly didnt want to post it because of how badly they get flamed when they post a rumor (even though they say it's a rumor) and it falls through and the community gets mad so I can't blame them, but this looks great and can't wait to try it. I know exactly where I'll be 2:00 pm tomorrow ^_^
How about normally its the analog stick is the left stickand all the buttons are the same as on psX but select on the psx(which is barely uesd) will be moved to the screen button. Then when you hold select The analog means left and things like that and when holding select if you press a certin buttion it brings you to the emus menu pause thing.
Thats one idea
@36 yes Sony will charge for the games but they will work better than this emulator and the file size will be a whole lot smaller than a full iso. I think I can afford 5 or 10 bucks for a game that will work rather than waiting for some glitch ridden emulator that may never run at full speed.
looks fake where is the psx logo in the begining of the video
People who say I will never upgrade. That's fine for you but I have two PSPs one is a 1.5 for all my homebrew and another that I keep updated with the latest firmware. So while you are battling the glitches, waiting for the next small upgrade that may never come, and hoping that out of the 5 games you try maybe 1 will work halfway decent I will be playing my games at full speed and supporting the further development of the PSP. Also if sony is trying to make money from their emulator and the sell of the games. So how using this any different than using UMD isos since they are both taking money from sony?
how can you releas this emulator you know one of Sony INC's peaple might come through here and for just a raise he'll snitch you'll get so freaken sued up the culos and youll go to jail all of you just like the dvd dycypter guystupids....so when the official emulator comes out
Just donload the games from limewire or someting like that..........lol
I just don't have much faith in Yoshi due to have has happened in the past.
Before somebody says something like "Shut up, it isn't like you are a programmer" keep in mind that I do have some coding experience, I just have yet to make anything for the PSP. In fact I haven't even made anything all that much more complicated than Breakaway. Well except 1 game I made in Highschool in pascal that was based on Red Dwarf. It was surprisingly fun, wish I still had the disc I put it on. Bah, I have gone off on some nostalgic tangent now, I should stop typing.
How is it taking money from Sony if you are ripping the ISOs from your own games? That is what I plan to do with my PSX games. I'm actually quite against piracy, I'm however even more against paying for a game I already own.
Oh and due to the similarities in the PSP and PSX getting a full speed highly compatible emulator on it actually isn't outside the realm of reason. It should be much easier to accomplish than N64 emulation.
The official ps1 emulator will run games without having to worry about crashes, frame drops etc. I welcome any attempt to create an emulator, but I'll throw a couple of bucks here and there towards sony to get a couple of ps1 games running perfectly on my psp. I'd rather not buy games that I already own, but hopefully they'll keep the prices somewhat decent ($5 - $10). Also, people and their ISO loaders need to stop (the ones who don't own the games). ;), you are only hurting the company that are making your games....and killing your memory card a lot quicker as well...
Yoshiro is tha man!
Man this shoulden't have been posted like that, it still not a pratical emulator, prop to the devs but this isn't going to be playable
You do know that if you play the official Sony downloads which will run off the memory stick it will wear out the memory stick just as fast as if you rip your own ISOs. It will have to read off the memory stick rather often after all so really that point you tried to make there is kinda null.
However I do agree with you about dirty pirates, they need to stop that crap and actually buy their games. But like I said before, like hell I am shelling out an additional $10 american for a game I already own, sorry not going to happen.
I remember PacManFan working on a PSX emu waaaay back when and releasing a demo, whatever happened to that?
Memory cards can wear out????????????? WHAT KIND OF JUNK BS IS THAT
Actually, they can. Just takes a rather long time.
Why is everyone talking about rather having the official emu than this one? The guy is doing this for free, and it provides more options for us as gamers. So why assume it's garbage if you haven't even tried it. Or are you just all 2.8 owners who regret upgrading?
Besides, one day it MIGHT be as fast and reliable as the snes and gba emus...
If sony really comes out with this emulator will there be an exploit to play hombrew with the new emulator i mean come on fangita do someting when this comes out thatle be tight...
anyway,its cool,i dont like sony,but i like game
i don't think it's polite to flame someone who's just trying to do something for you all...
however, maybe they'll create some compression format (like dax or cso) to make ISOs a bit smaller.
(however, if for 5/10 bucks sony will allow me to play perfectly psx games on my psp, i think i'll buy them. oh, and i'm not a 2.8 user, i have 1.5, but if they find an exploit to use hb on fw 3 or they'll be able to decrypt it and use it w/ devhook... :Q____ )
Yes, i'ts for 8.00 PM
(20h00 in France)
;)
OMG IV JUST CREAMED MY SELF!
wow this is going to be real tight i cant wait man
The L3 and R3 buttons were present on the PSX DualShock. The only game that I'm aware of using them is Ape escape, which was pretty revolutionary in its controller set up at the time.
To all of those saying they can't wait for this to be released, why?
Although I really appreciate someone working on a Psp Psx emulator, I am under no illusions and know that when it is released, it will not be playable and will probably run about 5fps.
To those saying they would rather use the official Sony Psx emulator, you do know that it wouldn't even exist if not for homebrew.
If not for homebrew, Sony could have gotten away sitting on their asses doing even less to improve the features of the Psp. Sony are only releasing the Psx emulator to save their own asses, they really don't give a f*** about their users / customers. They give you what they want, not what you wish for.
I still don't trust yoshihiro for *****, watching them teasers made me expect a memory card to be swapped or something, honestly, all the expectations of the downgrader and he produced nothing, I couldn't care less about this emulator.
Reply to 69/71/72, Yes flash memory units can get corrupted bits after as little as 10,000-100,000 writes to the unit. I believe that read operations are not as harmful as constantly writing and re-writing (ie re-flashing) to the chip, so you might want to disable "auto-saves" ;^). I know I don't re-write my memory sticks often enough to cause data-loss within the near future.
ok, for all you ppl looking to get some ps1 games to try when the emu comes out first off playstion roms are called an iso . its an iso cuz that is the format it is in, like an image file(i think), also .bin and .cue files will also work with the emu but if you want to you can get isobuster nd turn them into an iso
This emulator look promising and it is very fast for the first public release. Also the graphics are very good compared to the first release of the n64 emulator by PSmonkey the graphics are extremely good only a couple of minor graphics problems. This emulator looks like it will have a good future. Good luck Yoshihiro.
Looks good but it runs terribly slow if u check the vid.. Hope that will be improved later on! ;)
IS OK!! BUT IS SO, SO, SO SLOW!!!!
this is pretty good but very slow. hopefully it will improve!
ehhhh this is sounding like a good relase im pst so i get this at 11:00am but est is 2:00
thanks yoshiro for letting this happen or who ever did this
thats what sony wants us to do now with the costom frim wire and other homebrew progs you have a cool psp + this
86 87 & 88
dont expect this to come out fast remember n64 emu
remeber this is like a test run to let people reprot bugs and stuff
cool run it on 2.80?
Mabey with the e-loader but very doubtful
hahahahhahahaha haha sfe ps1
I hope NFL GAmeday and crap works. Those games rule and you don't really need like L2 and R2 and the right analog stick. I can't wait the 5 hours. I want it nowwwwwwwww. lol
I know you want to tell me google for rom or ripkit for this but dont. I cant find a ripkit for mgs and i dont wanna take the rom offline. does anyone know of a website where i can get a ripkit for metal gear solid. I apprieciate an answer.
i can't wait for this!
Awesome! I hope they improve the speed, add sound and more compatability. Great progress! I can't wait for updates.
your a moron. we are trying to have as many features as possible with preventing upgrading. we enjoying emulation, homebrew, and even a few enjoy iso loading. so why upgrade to get one feature when if your patient, you can have it plus much, much more.
First post

nocomment
People say "sonys emulator will come out soon" blablabla.
Then you need to upgrade.. And I don't think a downgrader for 3.0 will come out for the next 10 years!!
This is free and you keep 1.5! Sony will surely charge you for every games! So stfu and be thankful that someone's working on it... It's amazing that one man can do this
I come here in regards of SCEA (sony computer entartainment of america ) to put a decist order of any release in this site of the ps1 emulator developed by the group psp-generations in regards of violating the copyright infringement law. The owner of this site is also give a 72 hour period to delete this post off this web. For any questions regarding the order call 1-800-548-7965 or go to http://www.sony.com/support/.
IT'S A JOKE! HAHA HAHA I BET SOME OF YOU WERE DUMB ENOUGHT TO BELEIVE IT!
Anyways nice but late , the GP2X already has a full speed ps1 emulator :S

113th post!!!
If sony is really coming out with a psx emulator why not just use their version and making it playable on 1.5???
Looks like Tekken is running twice as fast as normal, lol.
...what about R2 and L2???
WTF IS THE DOWNLOAD LINK?!!
