gpSP: GBA Emulator Updated to v0.6 |
Ó
The latest version of Exophase's gpSP GBA emulator for the PSP is now out for download. gpSP v0.6 is still a beta release, so "watch out for new bugs," says Exophase. This new version still manages to fix a couple of bugs from the initial release, and offers a few new features, and adds new games to the game_config.txt file. New to this update are (taken from the Readme file):
Bug fixes
- Fixed a nasty bug that shouldn't have made it into the initial release; a lot of games that TECM.. erm.. crash won't anymore. NOTE: This doesn't mean that no game will ever crash, freeze, otherwise not work.
- Fixed some crashes in the GUI and the ability to "go up" past ms0:/PSP. Made the "go up" button square like it was supposed to be (instead of cross).
- There's now a menu that you can access, by default press right while holding down triangle for the frameskip bar.
- Menu option: resize screen aspect ratio, the default is now "scaled 3:2" which makes it look more like a normal GBA. You can use "fullscreen" (what it was like before) or "unscaled 3:2" (tiny but pixel for pixel like a GBA)
- Menu option: You can now load new games while the current one is running.
- Menu option: You can now restart the currently running game.
- Menu option: Frameskip variation - this defaults to "uniform" whereas it defaulted to "random" last release. Basically, turn it on random if you find that frameskip causes flickering animations to make things disappear. Other than that it will generally look better on uniform.
- GUI and file loading now have "auto repeat" on the buttons so they're not such a pain to navigate.
- Menu option: Added support for 128KB flash ROM, some games require it (Pokemon Firered/Leaf Green, Super Mario Advance 4), turn it on before running the game to make sure it works. NOTE: There are some versions of these ROMs that have been hacked to get around their 128KB flash, and may not even work properly at all. Look out for them, these games should save 128KB save files after you set the setting to it, IF they use 128KB flash.
- Menu option: Added ability to make the .sav files only update when you exit the emulator, use with extreme caution (in other words, it's not a good idea to use something like this in beta quality software if you care about your saves). Does NOT update if you exit through the home button, don't use the home button if you can help it.
- Zip support thanks to SiberianSTAR. It will load the first file with the extension .gba or .bin that it finds.
- Menu options are saved to gpsp.cfg. Note that it does not save frameskip options or flash ROM options because these are very per game particular.
- The emulator will now try to save backup files to something more matching the backup size than a fixed 64KB.
- Loading ROMs and the auto save of the .sav files is MUCH faster now. Thanks for the heads up on how to improve this from pollux!
- While coding for the screen resize code I found that SDL just wasn't cutting it and had to code for the GU myself. Turns out the new code is faster (but because it is render code any improvement will be diminished to nothing as frameskip is increased). Special thanks to Zx-81 for the tips on this one and for his GU code in the PSPVBA source as an example.
- Added some games to game_config.txt. Note that not all versions of these ROMs will work with these options, try to use the USA version if possible.
- Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (U)
- Megaman Battle Network (U)
- Megaman Zero (U/E)
- Megaman Zero 2 (U)
- Megaman Zero 3 (U)
- Megaman Zero 4 (U)
- Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland (U)
- Super Mario Advance (U)
- Super Mario Advance 2 (U)
- Super Mario Advance 3 (U)
- Super Mario Advance 4 (U)
- Advance Wars (U) (This one was really annoying to find, I hope it's okay.. there might be a better one somewhere)
- Pokemon Emerald (U) (I don't know why this has an idle loop when Ruby doesn't....)
- V-Rally 3 (E)
- Mario Vs Donkey Kong (U)
- Pokemon: Fire Red (U) (as well as European version; see the game_config.txt file for details)
- Pokemon: Leaf Green (U) (as well as European version; see the game_config.txt file for details)

Nice work, thanks!
Sweet!
I can't wait to try it
I've been waiting for this for the longest time!!
this emu is fast n all but is it that hard to add Save State and Load State?
Anyone available to upload the fully set up emulator for 1.5? (everything ready to go, just have to put some roms in to it)
FIRST POST IM THE BEST I WIN
im an idiot. and the rest of the first post club!
Alright!! I Can't to Try It Out! YAY!

wanna watch Aquaman 2006 Unaired Pilot episode, go to:
www.freewebs.com/animeblack/
Can some1 kploit it. For some reason this doesn't work well with my custom firmware. The BIOS I have worked before so I doubt that it's the problem.
Great work man, keep it up and do the impossible
Retyped: coz of typo
Alright!! I Can't Wait to try this Emulator Out!! COOL!

wanna watch Aquaman 2006 Unaired Pilot episode, go to:
www.freewebs.com/animeblack/
this is the shiznit. i have been playing the last version all day, it's funny how much more fun i have on gba when it's actually my psp....
probably cos psp really whips the llama's ass
Golden Sun works fine in scaled 3:2 and fullscreen, but once u switched to unscaled 3:2, it crashed. How weird, but OMG its perfect! Speed IS at perfect and sound is great, just a few minor problem. Great work.
Great update to an already treffic emulator... Exophase's very first release had full speed on most games, many without even using the frameskip feature. Now he has added to this functionality of being able to load other roms from the menu, as well as button config, screen resize and increased stability. This is more than what alot of us could have expected so soon. Show your gratitude ppl and Exophase... keep up the great work on this project.
Now all we need are (probably) a few more optimizations for (some) games, more compatibility, support for larger ROM sizes, and >SAVE STATES
Zelda Minish Cap runs perfectly and do not crashes anymore!! i LOVE this!!
OMG, games like Golden Sun work now. IMO, this is the best emulator out on the psp, even if it is in beta phase.
Props~
This Emulator is almost Near Perfect! and No More Annoying Crashes from before, WOW this guy who made this Emulator is a Great Programmer. THXs very much Exophase.

Old news!¬_¬ maybe if people checked the forums!
does it play kingdom hearts chain of mem. i dont know because its not in 1.5.if it plays that then ill crap my pants right here and know.
Good job Exophase...this is almost perfect and is still in beta, amazing!
nocomment
does it still crash when you reach hyrule map or beyond?
First version was more than just being impressive yet you added what I was waiting for; better resolution with screen resize!!
Thank you!!!
updates on ROMS and stuff...........
omg!!!! so good so nice this one is even better than
GBA Micro.
doesnt seem to work with my custom firmware, loading roms that is. Right after you select the rom from the list you get that dreaded "i regret your psp has crashed" blue screen of death anyways just wonderin if anybody else has had probs, i see 10 has had a few.
wow ur more annoying than the guy that says "first post." not everyone has time to read through pages of stuff. that's why there IS a front page.
anyways. greattt work exophase. i still can't get puzzle fighter to run at full speed. even with frame skip. but it's quicker than any other emulator that's out before.. wayyy quicker. keep up the good work. and thank youu!
Golden Sun crashes at the Camelot logo now. Can anyone host the gsSP folders (kxploited) with a working Golden Sun rom please?? sfidare@gmail.com
I've tried almost everything and everyone says it's working but it's not for me. :(
Many thanks!
About Golden sun, it crashs on the part when you get into a battle, and on pokemon emerald it crashes when you go into the pokemon center to get your pokemon healed, i am steal tryint to solve the problems in why pokemon emerald has the loop and ruby doesn't. Hope you enjoy the new gpSP :)
Can someone upload a Kxploited version of this? I can't seem to get it going :(
can someone please kxploit it thne upload it, i can never get the kxploit tool to work
great emu .. thanks
#31 isn't me ;p I've never seen it crash in Pokemon Emerald there, don't know about Golden Sun (all I know is that there are dynarec bugs that make the sound messed up, just like Super Mario Advance 2-4)
You really should consider setting up a paypal account for this. NO. Don't start charging. But, donations should be welcome. Brilliant work. Keep up the good work!
LONG LIVE HOMEBREW!
heh for those who might be havin problems with custom firmware just re-dl or replace yer bios and it should work fine (it did for me!)
Castlevania AOS doesn't crash on the title anymore, and the new menu rocks too.
If all your updates are like this then
Ok, When I load Castlevania-aria of sorrow, it now crashes unlike before BUT if a load any other rom and then through the menu load castlevania again, its fine. Weird bug.
Final fantasy tactics still no main menu visible.
Castlevanias-harmony of dissonance is fine but if I go to the menu and then resume my play, the graphics all go to hell.
Castlevania-circle of the moon much faster
Yoshi's island (SMB?) won't work.
Great job otherwise!! This version seems much faster but still unstable.
Thanks.
I hope this thing has a background. Not like the last one.
...MAN! I cant wait to try it though!
i cant get zip to work
Hey~ Has anyone noticed in Zelda Minish cap when you're supposed to cut down the trees to get to Lon Lon Ranch, this is not possible? You can slash alllll day, and they don't come down... The wierd thing is, I can kill enemies, but not cut down trees or bushes...! O_o
~Soniti
This emulator is truely one of the best homebrew releases this summer! It is amazing how fast you got GBA running on PSP (and with sound!), this was once thought impossible by many to reach these speeds. The update runs a lot faster than the initial release.
Great work, I look forward to future releases. Keep up the excellent work!
every time i try to run Mario Party Advance i get a BSOD.
Whenever i press right to get more options, BSOD :(.
What am i doing wrong?
yeah i can't get it working either. i converted it with pspbrew for 1.5, but i get the bsod as soon as i try to load a rom...
looks like it's quite the improvement too = \
nice...but i'ma wait until you implement a savestate. no use spending hours on one game and then having to start all over again cuz there's no save state.
It will not Kxploit! I get an Errror wtf... someone help me plz
Well heres a quit for me. Golden sun works good for me now plus kirbys Dreamland now works. Almost at perfect speed excellant sound. GTA advance gets a little futher in the screen and it crashes after menu :( . But it get more then it did. Raymond no go for . X men Wolverines revenge work real good.Pac man collection great. Kindom hearts not yet. Note to all these also could be my roms. As they might be bad. Ill keep testing.
It`s Great! Exophase you ar GOD of GBA emulation :)
Ive only been able to try a few games so far and they work great but all of the Legacy of Goku games don't work yet :'( The first and third game crashes when going into the main menu and Legacy of Goku 2 glitches when you start a game. This versions so close to being perfect though.
after i save the game and exit (not using the home button) the game crashes. deleat the .sav, game works fine. oh well, amazing emu for only a second public build
Does it??
I was already enjoying the last emulator but Already this one comes and fixes the problems I had with the last one, which was mainly waiting for the saves( i dont play many games so games crashing haven't been a probelm yet). Too bad i lost my USB
I'm getting blue screens off everything, too. (I used pspbrew as well.) whats the deal?
ahhh. you need to include the CFG file in the original folder. when you pspbrew it, you only get the eboot. BSOD problem solved! great emu!!
just want to say good,great app keep up the great work....ThanzX
Analog stick support would be great!
Some games are difficult to control with the D-Pad.
i KNOW THiS iS FULL SPEED ON MOST ROMS, BUT PLEASE ADD SAVE/LOAD STATES iN THE NEXT VERSiON!! ONE OF THE MOST iMPORTANT PARTS OF THE EMULATOR. WOULDN'T YOU HATE iT iF YOU PLAYED A GAME FOR HOURS AND TRiED TO SAVE iT, BUT iT WOULDN'T WORK?! BUT AGAiN, GOOD JOB!!
Exophase!!! You are the shiet man! Your first release only took about 3 months and its near perfect. You got skills boy keep up the good work. Im looking forward to what you'll dish out next in the future.
i get BSODs left and right. o well, Im sure Exophase will release a fix soon
Dunno if anyone else has this problem, but when I change the button configurations (Triangle=Start and Square=Frameskip) pressing square makes the frameskip menu flicker and I'm not able to increase/decrease it or goto the main menu. The only way to fix is to press home or reset the pspand run gpSP again. I don't mind using the default config, but would greatful if this could be fixed.
Other than this little nitpick gpSP runs great, nice work Exophase.
PLEASE SEND ME A PSP I'M VERY POOR I NEED AN ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM TO PLAY WRITE ME TO MICHOU34@GMAIL.COM FOR MT ADRESS
This is so cool. Metroid zero mission works now with full speed and no crashes! Sounds are little bugy, but the game runs at fullspeed with no framaskip.
#61 that good the more bugs we can find the faster Exophase can take care of it so the next release can be even better
No crashes!
All I need now is a savestate, keep up the wgood work.
oh yeah baby! is finally out!!!
62... get a job or something and stop being one of those people called a yab or bun as we say in america
#41 I have the same problem !! :(
Yeh.... same as #41... seems we are buggerd again not by a crash, but by not being able to cut down trees! >_
OMFG!!!!!!! Pokemon Emerald and Advance Wars both work at full speed, Pokemon can save but Advance Wars wont.
YAYAYAYAYYAYAY
erm...I hope you can solve these bug problems with Zelda: Minish Cap, Dragon Ball Z legacy games, and Golden Sun etc...
Great work exophase, this emulator is lacking only one thing - Analog support, my PSP's D-Pad has dodgy diagonals, so i use the analog for everything, any chance you could add it
Amazing release! Thanks for your hard work, Exophase!
Whoa...damn! This is only the second release of this emulator and already it runs 100% of the games I try!!!
Excellent job Exophase!!!
I could really care less for save state support. If every single one of Exophase's releases from here on out come out with more optimizations rather than save states, I could care less for save states! It'll be just like playing on a real GBA!
Again, superb job Exophase!
Wow, if a really fast N64 emu wasn't enough, a full speed GBA emu, keep up the good work.
For all of you asking about the kxploit... Why don't you do it yourself??? There are a few apps that do it for you!!!! PSPbrew is one of them. As for hiding the corrupt file, that's something PSPbrew can do for you as well. I REALLY hope someone looks at this post so they can stop nagging everyone about "fix it for me", you know, this really ISN'T for noobs. PSP is a little technical and if you want it done for you, either make a friend or learn how to use your computer!!!!
I got gpSP up and running, and a majority of my ROMS blue screen crash with the message, "I regret to inform you but your PSP has crashed."
I did get Advance Wars to run, which ran pretty good but stuttered (probably because it was still in zip form), but it was very much playable.
Does this mean all of my ROMS have to be listed in the game_config.txt in order for them to run? If so, that's a lot of work and I was wondering if anybody could link me to a complete game_config.txt file?
it can't load golden sun saves...
PLEASE ADD THE "gpsp.cfg" FILE TO YOUR "gpsp" FOLDER!
all i have to do is add "gpsp.cfg" (without the quotes) EMPTY in the gpsp folder? that doesnt make much sense...
And whenever i try to load a rom it crashes. WHAT DO I DO!? I LOOKED IN THE COMMENTS!!! WHICH ROMS WORK? IS Super Mario Advance (U) SUPPOST TO WORK???
I'll be testing around 50+ roms, i'll post my results later today..
i cant get this 2 work i kxploited it then i put the cfg file in with the game config text file nd every rom i try 2 load crashes my psp. HELP
You must include the gpsp.cfg file AND the game_config file in the folder that does NOT have the % sign in it. Example gbsp1~1% is not the folder where as gbsp(large space)1 is... I understand some of you 9 year olds think this is cool and want to play pokemon but there are NO shortcuts in life, do it yourself and if you can't figure it out, do research!!!!!!! It might take longer but at least you can feel accomplished if you actually did it yourself!!!
Dragoon, we appreciate your compatibility testing, please post soon.
ya i put both of those in the file without the % nd everytime i load a rom it crashes
STILL dont know what to do. maybe host the correct files (without roms) with megaupload/rapidshare/etc.?
i can't wait to test this! You made the right choice of priorities fixing all the crashes! I can't wait to test minish cap!
weee this is alsome, and u know u can save normally too >.> savestates are for pussies anyways >.> i mean what hard games are for the gba anyways? (dont say zero >.> i pwn dat)
finaly i got it 2 work. up there it says zip support but it wont load my zipped roms. HELP PLZ
Everything you need...just extract it to the GAME folder and your ready to go!!! ^_^
http://rapidshare.de/files/30958729/GpSP_V0.6_1.5_Kxploited_.rar.html
I hate it when posts are wasted on the people who already got it working by luck and dont tell how...
Man don't use the Kxploit, just patch it with POC 0.2 then create a folder named gpsp and put all your stuff in there, it'll play fine,
RENAME THE BIOS TO GBA_BIOS.BIN!!!!!!!
You get the blue screen of death if you put the GBA_BIOS.BIN -->NOT
anyone figure out how to use a sram save backed up from a gba flashcart?
at least it doesnt crash after the first rocket aqua in emerald's poocheyena does howl.
go exophase!
I can't exit the emulator by pressing the home button. it makes a corrupt file of gpsp.cfg, the emulator must be closed by the emulator's menu itself.
it doesn't work on fmw 2.0. it freezes when eloader is loading the emulator :)
welll it crashes with one of my roms and when i press the x button
it also crashes with the l button when a rom is booted
Don't forget to put the GBA BIOS file in your folder.
I just put the new one in and none of my roms work.Even if they worked before now everything just crashes. For those of you that this hb worked tell me what you did because none of my roms work it looks as if the auther took a step back no offense (i love this guys work) but doesnt work for me. Maybe something else should be put from the last one. I dont know but did it just as before and no go. please reply if you know what it is.
Great work on this update! I have a problem with not being able to cut down trees on Minish Cap, this aside i think its not far off perfection. Keep up the great work!
***** this *****ty emulator long live pspvba!!!!!!!!
when i downloaded the gpsp from rapidshare the code i had to enter was "ROM" ahaha...what were the chances...
ty
extract the rar file -> use KXpolit to convert into 1.5 -> all the files from the files extrated, send it into the folder on the memrystick without the % -> put the gba_bios.bin in the gpsp folder without the % -> run gpsp and pick the rom
if it doesn't work, hold triangle and press right, go to FLASH ROM TYPE and select 128 and click restart game and it should work.
if it gets the blue screen every time you load a game then delete the folders from GAME and do the steps above all over again.
Great Job Exophase!
if you can't get this simple task done of making this emulator run then you shouldn't be using it.
split the eboot then place everything BUT the original eboot in the non% folder,such as the cfg and it will run.
i got zelda to work but i cant cut down grass... i can kill enemies but cant cut down grass. plz help
did u know that u can use your gba saves from the vba emulator for the pc? i tried it for dragonball advance and it worked!
Minish Cap: really strange bug, you can't cut trees or grass, and if you try to grab anything it bugs too, except the pots!
Castlevania AoS: crash whereas before it didn't with the 0.5 :/, but i read in a comment that you can load any other game and then reload AoS while your other game is running.
Shining Force: There are invisible walls everywhere! It's hard to play, and when you have to talk to the king, you can't cuz there are walls around him =)
Harvest Moon: Fine, no problems, fast and good sound :).
this emulator is amazing, the first release was even good. this realease jsut made it so much better. Way to go exophase you did a really good job.
Download the emu here, all ready to play. BIOS included and even a couple of games to get you started. Just drag and drop the two folders into your memory stick's GAME folder and start playing. This package is only for PSPs with firmware 1.50!

This release is just phenomenal. Just when I was giving up on playing Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones on my PSP, because it paused for a couple of seconds after each move (which was unbearable). This genious realeases this version with MUCH improved save speed to the memstick, so now the game is absolutely perfect!!.
the whole growl problem in the pokemon games are gone
Exophase man you are great. No bull***** hyping up releases, just coming up with the goods. Circle of the moon runs perfect 0 frameskip, a lot of games run twice as fast as they did before. And the menu is awesome.
Britney's Dance Beat works great! That's all that matters. Thanks Exophase!
well now it doesnt freeze after getting the hytule map. but when they send you to minish woods .. you cant cut down the branches on the road .. n when you pick up a plant , you see its still in the ground.. lol :(:(:(
wow, its really nice what the programmer developed in the last weeks ... Impressive... Absolutely
ive tried 4 games and they all crash!
You have to rename the GBA.BIOS to GBA_BIOS.BIN. This was stated earlier, but it seems like people are still having problems with this.

Tested Spyro - Attack of the Rhynocs and its working 95% up to speed. Some graphical blips here and there, but it works great! I can't believe how well this works! Long Live Exophase!
My respects....great update...
For all people testing games with version 0.6, please post your results here:

uhhh your dumb, coz VBA for the PSP is dead, the project is dead, didnt you read. Even he the creator of vbapsp said, vbapsp is dead & gpSP is born!........
So Get a clue, buuuuttttt if you wanna still wait for the pspVBA then be my guest.......... -_-"
うんじょい
I playing Metroid Fuzion, sound is litle bug, but not too much !!! Is great ! Frameskip in 0 some times 01 ! Great menu too ! Thanks !
Someone can try in 2.00 ! Just use pspbrew and make for 1.00, maybe work !
Don´t forget to rename the bios file !
I've preserved a special spot in heaven just for you.
I'm back with a Working/Non-working List!
I Used this program to make it:

Here's the list:
http://themoddingarchive.com/DL/Rom List.txt
Enjoy! I'll be testing some more ROMs tomorrow, hopefully..
This is a great emulator! What a superior job in such little time!
I have tested about 180 games, and a little over 100 work. Not bad odds at all.
I just wish some games like Kingdom Hearts, Mario Golf, Rayman Advance, and the Super Mario Advance series would work.
Though I am quite happy to be able to have a handful of favorites on one memory stick. :)
Okay I rarely post comments on any topics, but this is a must. This emulator RAWKS!!! Plenty of games running fullspeed + sounds! This is a big "A" for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAmazing~
Keep up your super duper extravaganza work.
This emulator is just Excellent. Both Metroid Games run near Perfectly. The only thing that I can see wrong is some minor sound issues, besides that there are very little problems with this emu. It even runs better than the snes emulators. Good work and keep it up Exophase.
Zx-81 thanks for Helping Exophase, and Siberian Star, I'm really surprised near perfect GBA emulator just in BETA, well great Job Exophase, and I'm still waiting for Zx-81's next project as he will always help the community in some way. Well lets test KH and LoZ: Minish Cap on this now :)
This emu is coming along great. One thing I did notice. As I was testing some roms, a standard crash occured. Once I rebooted, I noticed that every time I tried to go to the menu, it would crash again no matter which rom I had loaded. After some investigation I realized that the initial crash had corrupts the .cfg file. After recopying it to my psp, everything worked fine again. Just a heads up for anyone that's having crashing issues.
Has anyone gotten GTA:Advance to work by tinkering around with settings? It's no big deal since I got GTA:LCS if I want gta on my PSP that badly, but I like gba emulation. It's cheaper and the screen and controls are better than the real thing. I hope you idiots dissing this emulator and its developer get an IP ban (such as post#131).
I knew dynamic recompile would be the answer to GBA emulation on the PSP, and I've waited for it so long. (I don't know how to program complicated stuff like that myself.) I've played Pokemon Fire Red about 4 hours straight today.
ナイス
ALL RIGHT !!! MEGAMAN ZERO 2 AND SUPER SONIC WARRIORS FULL SPEED !!! ^_^
Nice job on the update. Just to confirm a bug, Megaman and Bass goes straight to the GBA Nintendo screen and doesnt load. Cant wait for the next update !! ^_^
Southpark was true, psp is a machine sent to be made by god.
Thanks a lot, as I have no clue how to work this thing. Thumbs up to you :).

This is a brilliant emulator indeed. Kudos to Exophase. Brilliant..
I too think that analog pad support would be great, as the PSP's digital pad is really bad for pushing diagonals.
Thanks again, being able to play Zoo Keeper on my PSP is great
this is ridiculous. Ive been waiting so long for this and I cant play it because you feel you dont need to add instructions. Thanks.
Metroid Zero crashes on me when I enter one of the rooms in Kraid
Works perfectly at 1 frameskip (improves the sound quality) . The game actually saves as well. Still a bugger to control your character on an isometric plane, but it's bad on the GBA itself as well. Fantastic emulator.
Better than last time, one thing that bothers me is when a certain crash bugs out the cfg file and you need to put it on again (I made a new folder, I couldn't overwrite the corrupted file.)
Plus that Minish Cap error with the trees and stuff, but oh well.
ok....not only do you need the bios file...you need to rename it to GBA_BIOS.BIN the when you load up the emulator and before you load a rom you must set the option of the flash rom to 128 kb in options. i was getting the blue screen too. but said hey what the hell and started f-ing with things. no one really says to change the flash rom type.
get cheats
Isnt zoo keeper for the ds?
For all the peeps that can't figure out 1.5 folders and i made a icon for it http://playergaming.tripod.com/gpSP06.rar
I have a question, does this emulator works w/fw1.00?
Every site I see says "just google search" to find it but it does not exist for download anywhere. Thanks for wasting my time dumbf*cks! Looks like you have to dump it yourself. Hopefully somebody has the balls to host it for people that don't want to waste money on flash carts and sh*t.
i found a torrent with all the mario games in it, mario vs kong is a very fun game as well as mario and luigi. cant wait for the next update, hopefully zelda minish cap will b working
This is for all you noobs asking to be pampered...quit being dumbasses...heres what you do: google KXploit...... browse to your EBOOT, and set the directory to the one belonging to your psp...Then click generate or whatever...oh and make sure you put game_config.txt in the GPSP folder...download the bios from http://bumrun.hopto.org/odds-ends/GBA.BIOS . Rename it to gba_bios.bin.. put that in the GPSP folder, in that folder create a folder called 'roms', insert all your roms in there... NOW..the hardest part..turn your psp...wait for it...omg...ONNNNN. go to your Game mem stick and press x or o on GPSP...when it starts and you want to load a game..make sure the roms is highlighted white before you press x..then choose your game..(make sure its white)..if your stuck at the game go here: www.gamefaqs.com...google for a list of games which work on the current GPSP....and for the love of good...stop asking for people to set up all for you...
Great Work! What a first project!
It seems quite keen to corrupt the configuration file though. Mine keeps getting corrupted if I touch it at all, not just if I don't exit directly from the program.
I'm keeping an extra copy in the directory for irShell to repair with, but it would be handy for that bug to get squashed.
Also, any chance of rapid A or rapid B (see Homer's RIN) to be mapped to Square or Triangle? So many games where you end up mashing the A button to get through dialogue, and i've fallen in love with Homer's RIN's ability to skip through that.
Otherwise, well done, keep up the fantastic work! If you set up a pay-pal account, let the community know - you DESERVE something for this emu!

"42. » Zelda Minish Cap troubles
Hey~ Has anyone noticed in Zelda Minish cap when you're supposed to cut down the trees to get to Lon Lon Ranch, this is not possible? You can slash alllll day, and they don't come down... The wierd thing is, I can kill enemies, but not cut down trees or bushes...! O_o

Ditto. And i'm not sure if its supposed to happen or not, but shouldn't you be able to cut down the bunches of grass. And when you pick them up shouldn't they temporarily disappear? This is quite confusing, i hope its fixed by the next version, if no one can offer a solution now.
I had this thing running beutifully for days....Now I get a corruption, which seems reparable/repaired. Will not load no matter what. Fresh install doesnt help. I hear dev hook crashes it, but I run dev-hook on a separate memory stick.... SO I'm totally confused by this. I've tried orig cfg, hex edited configs, nothing works. Please any help?
Oh and the link to the forum for this is broke, so I cannot even access the forum thread about this.
=-(
This sucks.
Oh by the way from what I did get to play of it, beutiful emulator, keep up the great work.
I can get them to load now I had to run checkdisk on my card, so yay for Winblows for once lol. Now I cannot get zipped games to run anymore...or is it only with certain games?
ANALOG STICK PLEASE!!
How do you set it UP?
Um. i have a question. how do i get more roms for the gpSP? Sorry im a noob
where do u get the gba bios bin at
plz respon
SOME1 HELP GOT 2.0 IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL I DID EVERYTHING AND THE GBA_BIOS.BIN SOME1 HELP I DONT CONSIDER DOWNGRADING
anyone figure out how to use the save feature yet?
kleeptone, your right about the corruption issue of the .cfg file. i freshly installed the whole package and it werked again. after reading your post, however, it isolated the problem. now i just replace the .cfg file. much quicker. 2 quick tips: '
1) download file assistant for psp(under organization apps /homebrew right here at qj) keep a spare gpsp.cfg file at the root of your memory stick. now whenever the file corrupts itself like a dirty nun, you can easeily replace it on the go WITHOUT visiting your computer. (turn off usb in fileassistant, then copy to your gpsp folder again.)
2)to all you noobs crying "kxploit it for me!" consider using "no kxploit" tool, available in downloads. it allows you to use 1.0 eboots, as well as already kxploited eboots, without further issue. i use it to cut down on my "hidden" corrupt icon folder slots by using the 1.0 version of many homebrews on my 1.5 psp
EXOPHASE FOR PRESIDENT!
cheers

can someone please help me with my psp and these emulators i sound like and idiot but im not sure how to put it on the psp it keeps saying corupt data... any help would be great thanks
"Everything you need...just extract it to the GAME folder and your ready to go!!! "
Great post #91. Thanks
The .cfg file did the trick. I also was having crash problems, only in my case I would quit the emulater to play another, when I played it agian every rom would crash! I would have to reinstall a fresh copy of gpSP. Great catch!
K I have been playing this for a couple nights and when I try to beat the Temple of Droplets boss, it crashes. Anyone else got the same problem?
my problem i dont get how to load the games. can someone email me files that i need to use to run the pspe so i can start playing. And maybe some instrutions to go along with that. ai3dunks@yahoo.com
