PSP and Emulators

[Firedemon]

Hey guys, I'm running ZSNES on my PC and I'm wondering if there's a way to play them on my PSP. If there is, is there a legit place I can download such a mod that allows this?

For SNES emulation on PSP, I used to use snes9xTYL.

If your PSP isn't modded, and isn't fully up to date (firmware 6.20 or earlier), you can make use of the half-byte loader's exploit via Patapon2 demo (don't have a link handy) to load the emulator, but it's not 100% foolproof, and emulation speed isn't 100% as a fully modded PSP.

[EDIT] Actually, if your firmware is old enough the chickHEN exploit should work. If your PSP is an ancient 1000/early-2000 series pandora battery works.

Mine's only a few months old so its a new 3000 series with firmware 6.20. Am I totally wasting my time trying to install the snes9xTYL? It all really boils down to me being lazy, I really only wanna bring my SNES games with me while I'm taking a shit...but if it's a pain in the ass to mod it I just wont bother.

There's no modding involved given your model/firmware, all you can do so far is just a kernal-level exploit that allows some apps to run. With your firmware, it involves loading the Patapon2 demo, a specific modified save, then hitting R once that's loaded to trigger the half-byte loader for homebrew apps, and then selecting the snes emulator from there.

Bit of a bother though for on-the-go gaming, it's a 60 second process to get from the XMB to the loader.

Bah, I was hoping there was a quick "turn on PSP and play emulator" route. Thanks for info on this though...I might do that anyway since I'm taking a trip next month and flying will be so much better with Lufia II.

I can't find a trustworthy source of pandora batteries for psp 1000s

Bump for justice, because I have an issue in this vein. I have a pandora modded PSP-2000, firmware is 5.00 M33-3. I'm running SNES9Xtyl and it runs like shit on some games, others are fine but anything that uses mode7 generally looks like ass. No matter what I do to the settings I get no where. Any ideas?

Check to see if there is a newer version out for SNES9X?

Games that require a special chip (Super Mario RPG, Yoshi's Island, to name a few) will never work as well as other games.

For regular games, you can try updating your speedhacks file.

specifically i'm trying to get earthbound to work, and the game freaks the hell out whenver a battle transition happens.

Solution: Buy old PSP-1000

edit: I have a pandora's battery that I made a long time ago laying around if anyone needs it.
