Capcom CPS1 EmulatorUpdate: NJ has just updated his Capcom CPS1 Emulator to vAlpha2. Here's a rough translation of the updates:
  • It corresponded to the game of QSOUND.
  • Dip switch inscription of the old game was corrected.
  • Japanese resource the file was added.
  • Method of using is the same as NGEPSP.
  • QSOUND processing is light.
  • The pattern where VRAM for sprite is not enough somehow.
  • Next becomes beta, but you think that time is required for adjustment for a while.
The updated version can be download using the link below.



NJ, the author of the NeoGeo CDZ emulator has just released one of the first CAPCOM CPS1 Emulators for the PSP. There have been a few before, but I believe this one is the best currently.

Although the readme is in Japanese, I was able to salvage whatever Babelfish could translate. I know, it isn't great, but for now, you'll have to make do with it.

Translated Readme:

"The game of QSOUND does not operate yet.
The idea contest is omission, but being to be difficult this way. * With the old game of large demon boundary village and the like, inscription of the dip switch of demonstration sound and continuing permission becoming opposite, it increases.
 You correct with the following release, it is with. By all means please read readme.txt of attachment."


The download contains two builds, one for 1.0 and the other KXploited.

Can't wait for it to progress further. Although I couldn't understand anything from the translated readme apart from the QSound not working yet.

So whats stopping a CPS2 emulator? Street Fighter Alpha 1,2 and 3 would be pretty good.

@13

Like the newer neogeo games: memory. The graphics could be xored in advance like it's done in ngepsp but then it haves to fit in the available ram...

Great job NJ

This is simple to use. just through the 2 1.5 folders. make a folder called roms. put your roms in and play. 1941 and street fighter 2 work pretty good. great alpha release. it will only get better

MvC

I hope they find a way to emulate CPS2, or just to emulate Marvel vs. Capcom or even better Marvel vs. Capcom 2, that's the arcade game I've been wanting to play on my PSP ever since Darkstalkers came out.
by - 2006-07-23 14:30:56
great

you dont need a bios to play. just put roms in rom folder. street fighter 2 champion edition works perfectly. just need a teensy bit fast update

i HAVE JUST TRIED OVER 30 GAMES AND THEY ALL WORK PERFECTLY. WE JUST NEED THE SPEED TO GO UP A LITTLE BIT.

roms

To see the list of CPS1 games, go to maws http://www.mameworld.net/maws/, select cps1.c as driver and there you go. To filter out the clones also select parents as resource type.

awesome

this emulator is one of the best i was just playing Ghouls 'n Ghost its so awesome Reccomended Dl !!
by - 2006-07-23 15:12:58
works really good

funny that no one has mentioned it's an emurator - is that just the Japanese translation?
by akuma2099 - 2006-07-23 16:08:06
@22

I agree, any of the vs series would be great on the PSP. Although I would not hold out much hope for MvsC2 as they have not even got that emulated on the PC yet.
by - 2006-07-23 16:20:11

hope he gets the cps2 emulator running would love to play stf vs xmen. great job nj

Flawlessly

I've played Street Fighter and it works as a charm. Good job! Uses the same interface as the neo-geo emulator.
by - 2006-07-23 17:05:56
where do you download the roms

can somebody post a link to a free cps1 rom download site
by - 2006-07-23 17:29:27
CPS-1

Wouldn't it be cool if zx-81 got hold of this EMU and added media engine sound
by - 2006-07-23 18:53:37
A few games tested ....

I tested a few games and they worked at a very good speed and sound. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs- not working final fight -worked ghouls'n ghosts - worked Street Fighter 2 - world warrior - worked Mercs- worked but screen angle is not right. screen appears from left to right. got to turn your speed or your head to play. I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEONE ALREADY DISCOVERED THIS, BUT IF YOU PRESS -SELECT +START - DURING GAMEPLAY. IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO THE MAIN MENU.

Error messaage??

Im getting an error that says 'error crc32 not correct "CPU1"' Anyone have any idea what this might be?

WOW!

Amazed how well this emu runs! Was expecting choppy framerates and dodgy sound. But 3 Wonders and Final Fight and nearly perfect. Amazing work! Thanks.

I have some time to kill so i'll also add a little bit of the readme.txt file as well. PSP用のCAPCOM CPS1(Capcom Play System)エミュレータです。 また、CPS2やCPS3は当然動作しませんし、これらのエミュレータを作る気も 全くありません。 OUTLINE This is the CAPCOM CPS1 (Capcom Play System) emulator for the PSP. CPS2 and CPS3 obviously won't work and I have absolutely no intention of making emulators for them. NEOGEO Emulatorとはボタンの設定が異なりますので、必ずこのテキストを最後まで読んでください。 The buttons for this emulator differ from those for the NEOGEO Emulator so make sure you read this entire text file. 標準の設定は、Raster Effects 有効、サウンド 11025Hzですが、かなり 重いです。プレイに支障が出ると感じるのであれば、まず、Raster Effectsを無効にして、それでもまだ重いようであれば、サウンドも無効にしてください。 By default, Raster effects are enabled and sound is set to 11025Hz; however, this is still a pretty big load on the CPU. If you feel this hinders play, disable Raster effects first. If you still feel the it's a little slow, disable the sound. 現時点でも、描画はかなり最適化した状態です。NEOGEO Emulatorよりも最適化しています。それにもかかわらず、この程度しか速度が出ないのはちょっと悲しいですが。なぜ速度が出ないかというと、 At this stage, rendering is pretty optimized, even moreso than for NEOGEO Emulator. Despite this, I'm a little sad that it has speed issues. The reasons for these issues are: 1.画面の構成が複雑 スプライト1面に加え、背景が3面の計4画面あり、さらに、背景面は1画面を二つの画面に分割する場合があります。 NEOGEOは背景が無く、全てスプライトで描画しているため、PSPに非常に向いています。 1. The screen configuration is complex In addition to the sprite layer, there are three background layers for a total of four layers. On top of that, one layer for the background may split into two.

errrr....part of it got cut off... 1.画面の構成が複雑 スプライト1面に加え、背景が3面の計4画面あり、さらに、背景面は1画面を二つの画面に分割する場合があります。 NEOGEOは背景が無く、全てスプライトで描画しているため、PSPに非常に向いています。 1.

NEOGEO has no background and all of the sprites are rendered so the PSP is very good at running it. (lobato: sprites aren't my area of expertise in translating from from checking around, I assume he's talking about tilemap layers...) 2.サウンドの構成がエミュレーション負荷の高い構成になっている サウンドの波形データ作成時に負荷の高いFMサウンドを7ch使用しています。 NEOGEOは負荷の低いADPCMをメインに使用し、FMサウンド(4ch)はほとんど使用していません。この差がかなり大きいです。 CPS1はモノラル(QSOUNDはステレオ)なので、余計に貧相に聞こえてしまう。 2. The sound configuration puts a large workload on emulation NEOGEO mainly uses ADPCM, which causes a low workload, and hardly uses FM sound (4ch). This difference is quite big. CPS1 is mono (QSound is stereo) so this causes it to sound even worse. 描画の最適化では速度の向上はこれ以上望めないので、サウンドを何とかしたいところ。 I can't really hope for any more speed improvements by optimizing rendering so I want to do something about the sound. That's it for now!

This emulator is pretty awesome for an Alpha!

Speed is remarkable. Only gripe I have with this emu is the lack of configuration. I had to use the friggin' Triangle button to jump in Megaman: Power Battles! TRIANGLE BUTTON!!! But meh. This emu is made of win and awesome, and look really promising. Keep up the good work, NJ!

HEEEELP

so is this a playstation one emulator or what?

It's a Capcom arcade emulator using the CPS1 standard. Many Capcom arcade games 1989-1993? used this arcade board.
by - 2006-07-24 09:09:06
@43

This is a Capcom Play System 1 EMU

simple answer no this is not a playstation one emulator. this plays old capcom games 1994-1995

For all my Homebrew Acolytes.

Ok So here is the deal. No this is not a PSP Virus. Who ever posted that is an idiot or works for sony. Choose your poison. Now as I was saying I hope this helps who ever downloaded this Homebrew. This package comes with a 1.0 and 1.5 ( user and Kernal Mode )Either way place the folder(s) in mso:/PSP/GAME .... mso = the root of ur PSP's HD. Once you copied the folders into the Game directory. Please make note that you must create a ROM folder within the folder that doesnt have a % sign. For 1.0 this does not apply. Once you Do that. Please go to the " "www.CoolRom.Com" website and go to the CPS1 Section on the right hand side and you can download all the parent roms for this emulator. Street Fighter works perfectly. =) not bad for the greatest selling game of all time. anyway. Now for those of you who are saying. "I Can't make my own settings" blah blah blah. Do a lil research. Mess around with ur PSP a lil. If you press "Start + Select" it will give you a menu, just like in NESTER or DGEN or SNESTYL. Thank you and Hope this helped. =) Your Loyal and true gaming friend. -Game Guru. PS : NJ you are the man. If you want me to beta test your stuff before you put it out to the public please e-mail me I will even write the readme's if you want. WashingtonHightz@aol.com

'error crc32 not correct "CPU1"'

This is because you're playing a ROM not supported by CPS1. See post 26 to see what can be played: 26. ยป roms To see the list of CPS1 games, go to maws http://www.mameworld.net/maws/, select cps1.c as driver and there you go. To filter out the clones also select parents as resource type.

Speed Things Up

Hey All, If you find the Street Fighter 2 games a little slow press Start+Select to go to menu then change some settings, Turn off "Rasta Effects" and manually Set Frame Skip 1/2 SF2 Turbo/Hyper Fighting Runs Smoooooth. Also you can change the control config in this menu too and it saves the settings or each game automatically. have fun! Thanks for a great Emu, just the one I hae been waiting for :) Stevo.

Good job Nj

I think all the games are working now except pang3 Even street fighter zero(aka street fighter alpha) is working pretty good Nj your the man

.

how you got street fighter alpha to work?
by - 2006-07-24 15:17:07
I am very surprised!!

I too was expecting slow frame rates, dodgy sound and choppy gameplay but was I surprised or what. For an alpha release the speed is simply amasing. I tried Street Fighter 2 and it is playable. Of course a little speed is needed but this is great allready. The Psp goes to show once again that it is the true portable emulation king!!
by - 2006-07-24 15:27:12
Soo like

Did anyone else notice that its a "CPS1 emurator for PSP"? Can you say engrish lol
by wipey - 2006-07-24 16:15:11
wtf?

if you're gonna post obscure (yes it is obscure....since I've got no idea what this is...) emulators like this could you please describe what system it's emulating, and what games it can play? just a thought, since many comments seem to ask what ROMs it plays etc... oh aye and I wanna know lol
by - 2006-07-24 17:11:08
OMFG!!!

WOW!! I got SF2 Champion Edition Arcade game on my psp...running at 55-60 FPS (the auto frame skip is a beut!!) Like a poster above, turn off Raster effects in Game Options menu for better performance. I WILL post more FPS later, but for an early build this is truly amazing, this guy is a master. NJ if you need a 2nd PSP to develop some wifi into your neogeo emus, or this one I will donate a PSP for this cause. You are a God man, free psp just contact me please NJ.
by - 2006-07-24 17:12:39
seconded

Yes, I need to know what is this. I mean it is not like I could just type "cps1" into google and search for it. What's up with posting "obscure" stuff and not explaining everything each time ;-) great stuff

50+fps on most games!!!

There are a few games with some menu lag, but the gameplay on over 30 tested games is solid 50+ frames per second. truly an amazing coder NJ is. Most at 60 fps with sound at 1100khz, but i try to bump em up to 2200.

Street Fighter II-Rainbow Edition!?!

If you have heard of it or never have, this is the weirdest old school Reincarnation of SF2. It was bootleg, but readily findable(very small mod). Many a local arcade had one of these tucked away inside a dark, shadowy corner munching up our quarters! Little pimple-faced SF jocks pumping in our lunch money!! This is as close as you are gonna get to arcade perfection of later gameplay. Capcom, or the dev team stole alot of ideas from this mod, take Ken's air hurricane, its movement is more like Super SF2 and on. Anyways just thought I'd remind old vets or newcomers alike this was an awesome, yet hardly ever mentioned classic. Oh and it does work on this emu, flawlessly 60 FPS. You will need SF Champion Edition for it to work I believe.
