Title: Good News for those that don't have a PSP
Post by: pesmerga001 on May 17, 2011, 05:09:46 pm
As the title said, some good news:

Yesterday another version of JPCSP was released:
http://www.qj.net/psp/news/jpcsp-v06-r2136-released.html

1. Getting started:

Be sure to have JRE (Java Runtime Environement) installed in your computer
before attempting to run JPCSP.

NOTE: It is strongly advised that even on a 64-bit OS, you should install the
32-bit JRE release and use JPCSP's 32-bit version, for compatiblity reasons.

If you've downloaded the Windows version, use the batch (.bat) files located
inside JPCSP's main folder (start-windows-x86.bat or start-windows-amd64.bat).

If you've downloaded the Linux version, use the shell script (.sh) files
located inside JPCSP's main folder (start-linux-x86.sh or
start-linux-amd64.sh).

If you've downloaded the MacOSX version, just double click the application
bundle to start JPCSP.


2. Loading/Running applications:

To load an ISO/CSO image, you need to place it under the "umdimages" folder
(this folder can be changed under Options > Configuration > General).
For homebrew, place the application's main folder (which should contain the
EBOOT file) under ms0 > PSP > GAME.

To know which games are currently compatible with the emulator, you can check
JPCSP's forum for the latest news and an updated compatibility list post.

The games tagged as "Encrypted" cannot be loaded by regular means. The only
legal option is to own a PSP and use it to decrypt your own games' boot file.


3. Usage:

The "File" menu allows you to load UMD images (Load UMD), homebrew applications
(Load MemStick), and any other file such as demos (Load File). It also allows
to capture and load the current RAM memory and GPR registers' state to a file,
so it can be used as an additional save option (Save/Load Snapshot).

The "Options" menu contains dedicated settings for "Video" (Rotate and
Screenshot), "Audio" (Mute) and "Controls" features, as well as the
"Configuration" menu.

The "Debug" menu contains all the advanced features of the emulator such as the
logger, the debugger and the memory viewer (see section 5. Advanced features).

The "Cheats" menu allows you to apply cheats to the current application.

The "Language" menu allows you to change the language of the emulator.

The "Help" menu contains the "About" window.




3. Command-Line options:

Usage: java -Xmx512m -jar jpcsp.jar <OPTIONS>

  -d, --debugger             Open debugger at start.
  -f, --loadfile FILE        Load a file.
                             Example: ms0/PSP/GAME/pspsolitaire/EBOOT.PBP
  -u, --loadumd FILE         Load a UMD. Example: umdimages/cube.iso
  -r, --run                  Run loaded file or umd. Use with -f or -u option.



4. Requirements:

Minimum:
- OS: Windows 32bit or 64bit / Linux 32bit or 64bit / Mac OSX;
- CPU: Pentium 4 and up;
- GPU: Any graphic card supporting OpenGL 2.0 and up;
- Memory: 1GB RAM.

Recommended:
- OS: Windows Vista / Windows 7;
- CPU: Dual core @ 2.5 GHz;
- GPU: Updated graphic card supporting OpenGL;
- Memory: 2GB RAM or more.

Do you know if Dissidia runs properly??? The last time I used Jpcsp, it ran at 13 fps and it was too slow :/

I have not tried Dissidia yet on it but running FFT WOTL at about 40 fps, just remember that this EMU take ALOT of system resources, kinda funny though, shows you how strong that little PSP really is :)

There are several "mods" for this one being updated all the time, the official version hasnt had a new release in half a year so keep checking QJ.net for unofficial versions.

At least now people here will have the chance to try WOTL and it wil make it way faster hacking since we don't have to transfer to the PSP all the time.

Why the sarcasm? I do date Java with passion for many reasons.

- It's extremely slow (no wonder that emulator is)
- Consumes a lot of resources
- Poor syntax
- It's Java
