NesterJ for PSP v1.20beta2 - WiFi Network Play!

Posted Jul 2, 2006 at 8:47PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Homebrew Emulators, News, Emulators Tags: downgrader, NES, NesterJ, ROM, Ruka

NesterJ, the nearly perfect NES emulator by Ruka, has been making nostalgic PSP owners happy for over a year now and is a staple of PSP homebrew. Today, it has taken a couple more steps towards being the ideal emulator on the PSP. 3 months ago, Ruka had mentioned that he was working on NesterJ v1.20 and intended it to have Ad-Hoc WiFi support for 1.0/1.50 PSP's (kernel access). Thanks to the recent downgrader, this is a great way to experience the joys of homebrew gaming for the PSP!

As if that wasn't enough, Ruka also says that thanks to improvements in GPU processing, there's about a 20% increase in speed - which is saying something since NesterJ already ran a fair share of NES games at full speed with frameskip disabled. Previous problems with sound timing were also fixed, but is still a problem with Network Play.

Courtesy of our own Jeff C., here are the translated details from the changelog:

Drawing speed up by 20% when using GPU
Sound processing in single play mode has been modified
Network communication is still in-development and needs adjustment
If you don't want to use frameskip during Network Play, set CPU to 333mhz
Misc.

How to start WiFi Network Play:

Turn on your WiFi switch and set your PSP to AdHoc Mode (choose the same channel as your co-player)
Start NesterJ and choose your ROM
Select "Wifi Network Play(Adhoc)"
Wait until you get the message "sceNetInit() done" - this means the PSP is in Network Standby
Repeat steps 1 - 4 for the second player
Player 2: Press Circle to send a connection request
Player 1: After getting the request from Player 2, press the Circle button

Obviously, identical ROMs are needed and if the emulator settings on all the PSP's are not the same, the synchronization might fail.

This is still a beta so it is a bit unstable, but it should give you and a friend a retro-tastic good time, as well be a great way for all the new downgradee's to experience a piece of PSP homebrew history - past, present and future. (Thanks for the heads up, Byte!)

# Speed — Atarian 2006-07-02 16:25

How is the speed on this one (for single player gaming, that is). The last beta was very slow for me, so I had to go back to the last stable release.

# 2.71 — Guest 2006-07-02 16:27

does this work on 2.71 plz say yes?

# No. — Guest 2006-07-02 16:28

"does this work on 2.71 plz say yes?"

No.

# Wifi, Ad-Hoc or Network? — Guest 2006-07-02 16:30

You should be careful what you say. When you say network, it means it's online. When you say ad-hoc, its from PSP to PSP directly.

Edit the post, it's confusing.

it will eventually... just give it some time

# *rolls eyes* — j_dawg469 2006-07-02 16:36

check the download link before posting at least.

# ... — Guest 2006-07-02 16:38

will this one corrupt my entire memory stick like the last one?

# Download Fixed — Guest 2006-07-02 16:47

Sorry about the download link, guys. Our system automatically converts all URL's to lowercase - and Ruka's homepage address is case specific. I had to TinyURL it in order to link there. :(

But its fixed.

# WTF??? no zip support?? — Guest 2006-07-02 17:28

If you care about zip support, this is not the release for you..

# Ad Hoc Play was in the last two releases... — pspfan 2006-07-02 17:53

I don't get this release.

Ad Hoc was in the last two releases (v1.20 alpha and v1.20 beta). Also there can't be a 20% speedup because it's already fullspeed. This release seems pointless. And people are saying zipped roms aren't supported...They are in v1.20 beta 1...What is the point of this release???

# . — Illegal Machine 2006-07-02 18:08

Dope

# Nice — Guest 2006-07-02 19:24

Ya no .zip support but it does seem alot more smooth and quick. Nice work for a beta. :)

# dl.qj.net? — Guest 2006-07-02 19:27

what happened to dl.qj.net? why not host it there?

Im liking these psp homebrew releases, the community is putting forth a considerable effort and releasing some quality stuff! I think its up to two emulators now with wifi net play, not to mention ports like quake and such. Thank you so much devs! Love you guys.

My favourite homebrew at the moment is snes9xTYL, but I guess i'll give this one a try too.

# problem — Guest 2006-07-03 06:54
