We never post PSP News, but this one is quite interesting, developer Sonywiz has updated his PSP Emulator for Windows, here is a quote from the source:
This version has major improvements:
- Module loading (this allow more games to run, including some software like PRX Decrypter or LUA Player)
- Automatical EBOOT decryption. It will decrypt EBOOTs on the fly. This will allow lots and lots of new games to start running. (But still requires some work to get most of them ingame).
- Note: with those improvements I have noticed lots of games start running, and some more starting like: Princess Crown and Ys The Ark of Napishtim.
Minor improvements:
- Now you can drag & drop executable files on the emulator window
- Implemented bltzal/bltzall required for some games
- Implemented DXT1
- Fixed DX3 RB
- Added lots of new APIs and fixed some of them.
- Added a new versioning system. Releases now are denoted by the date eg: 20120407, git revision: 959572e63973662303c2dfd80f6fb60eaebb4072, and now also a count revision r256. This is an incremental number that indicates the number of commits to the repository.

Here is a video i created messing around with the Emulator, i hope others that use it have better luck than me >.<
As we don’t post PSP news, Avanaboys software was neglected, i had a chance to test it with this Emulator, here is a video of that in action:
If you have a PSP or just want to mess around with thye Emulator, grab Avanaboys software:

Has any1 gotten any games 2 run on this? I was able to get into the menu screen for castlevania chronicles (loaded as a .cso from my sdcard on psp through usb mode)..... and thats about it. Most games give me a black screen and the dos window gives me a bunch of red text explaining why the game I choose won't run. For more psp emu's google emulator zone.

Oh, kids. Must I always learn you in the art of emulation?
):
Ultimately I usually recommend one of the other two over this, but if it doesn't work in the other two, try it in this one and see what happens!
(just got it, I was so excited
), on an SSD. However, even on my wicked old 2002 XP machine most of the PSP games run absolutely fine and at top speed.
. Check the sites website for compatibility lists and FAQ's. I hope this helps you guys out, I figure since I have the know-how I might as well share. Keep in mind I tested these emulators on multiple OS's and hardware setups, this information was all based on experience and pre-developed knowledge/wisdom.
There are several PSP emulators (None for the PS Vita, obviously
PCSP - 52% compatibility
JPCSP - 95% compatibility
CPSP - 0% compatibility
DPSP - 0% compatibility
Soywiz's PSP emulator - 38% compatibility
PSPE - 26% compatibility
Potemkin - 0% compatibility
All of the emulators besides PCSP, JPCSP, and Soywiz's aren't maintained/updated/have a GUI/noob-friendly. Potemkin was supposed to be a Nintendo DS/PSP/GBA emulator but wasn't updated after release. PSPE was a good emulator at the time, but it was way back when there was only JPCSP and PCSP and the lack of a GUI and improved features killed it. CPSP and DPSP are basically PSPE source code changed to a different coding language and updated with features, but lack any real use if you wanted to replace your PSP with a computer.
That leaves PCSP, JPCSP, and Soywiz's emulator. These, if you are looking for a PSP emulator, are the best to choose from. In order from best to good, JPCSP, PCSP, Soywiz. Reasons for that are that JPCSP was one of the first emulators, and had a GUI with useful developer/debugging features. Which means you can better identify problems, make better optimizations, etc. It plays most (if not all) games, demos, and homebrew. Since JPCSP is coded in Java, it has high portability (in terms of OS interoperability), but it is slower than it could be as well (barely noticeable though).
PCSP is an attempt to take JPCSP and switch it to the C++ language. Which would make it faster, more reliable, more compatibility, etc. However, it is in the middle of a complete re-write and is currently not available in an extremely stable build. It is still usable, and plays lots of homebrew, SDK demos, and some commercial games.
Soywiz is okay, it's basically JPCSP/PCSP but cleaner and more optimized. I thought it was coded in C#, but it may be D. Regardless, the code is cleaner than PCSP, but that's not saying much in the world of PSP emulators.
Overall, I recommend JPCSP. I haven't found a game/homebrew/demo it won't play, it supports updated hardware features (DirectX 11, multi-core support, etc), lot's of debug/developer features, and high speed even at the highest settings. Keep in mind I have an Intel i7 3960x clocked at 4.1GHz, 16GB of DDR3 2333MHz RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 680
To review, I recommend JPCSP and you just are gonna have to learn that you may have to tweak settings every once in a while. I know SNES emulators you just point to the ROM and load it up, but with the new encryption technology that has been placed on the disc layers these days and updating the graphics, tweaking is essential for the optimum experience. If you don't think that you are "h4x0r 3nuF" then watch YouTube videos or ask me
Keep in mind compatibility percentages are based off the facts that there are 744 PSP games (Excluding Action Replay and dev-test disc mounter, including PAL and JAP) and based off EXPERIENCE.

Tried Dracula X Chronicles, Ys6 and Ultimate GNG Kai, all working. The emulation is slow (less than 1 fps on my system), but works.

i believe GamerSuper, the russian hacker was or is working on something

JPCSP works fine and has good speed and compatibility, plus is OS Portable due to it being written in Java, so if someone wanted to write a PSP emulator for PS3, they probably already would have done it. At least I would think so. Maybe devs are waiting until the PS3's PSP emulator is unlocked.
GamerSuper hasn't really proven his work yet...I would wait until someone can confirm his "tool" as he calls it.

I have the cobra dongle which plays psp and the only 2 games which work for me @ 100% speed (notice i say speed not accuracy) are castlevania chronicles x and ace combat x skies of deception. Metal Gear Portable Ops works up 2 a certain point then crashes on me..... You seem to know alot about the psp emu scene do you think its possible more games will be compatible for the ps3 1 in the future and theyll be able 2 run @ full speed? I also hope theres a way of implementing external loading and .cso support.

Do you know any tool to decrypt/unpack iso/cso? I have been using daxter creator for years, but none of my uncompressed iso run on JPCSP. I think im using the wrong tool for this or doing something wrong...

7-Zip/WinRAR/WinZIP should be able to unpack iso files (along with lot's of other programs). CSO/DAX/JSO files can be converted using either YACC, CISO Plus, or PSP ISO Compressor. I use YACC and PSP ISO Compressor, and usually I like to unpack the image and get the root directory with the EBOOT.PBP in a game folder for better compatibility with emulators. I forgot to mention UMDGEN is another fantastic program for various things. Try the three and see which one you like best. Hope this helps!

Then, make sure unpack pbp when loading is checked on the general options screen, extract media files is checked on the media tab, and both extract options on crypto are checked, not the file save option in the middle. Then make sure the display settings are like this:
Anti-aliasing OFF
640 X 480 resolution
Under options in the main program, make sure video resize is set to 1X, No filters, and make sure you don't have other programs running when using an emulator. Try that and see if it works better. If it does, slowly tweak the resolution and turn anti-aliasing on. If that doesn't work, feel free to enable all file logs and send the logs to the developers.
Other things to note, are you using an ISO or a EBOOT? If an ISO try unpacking it with UMDGEN. Do you have the latest version of Java? If not update it. Try updating your drivers for your graphics card too.

I do not understand this post, knowing that there is an best emulator like JPCSP that lets you play various games (even with some lag) where even heavier games works with this emulator, this emulator that you posted here I could not even aleast open even one game from all that I have here.

The emulator is in beta first of all everyone. Second of all, make sure to give the specs of your computer and which version of what emulator your using. Third of all, make sure your settings are set as low as possible first time around. Fourth, use JPCSP. It has higher compatibility and speed. Fifth, it isn't "crap" just because it doesn't work for you or your configuration, it just means you need to adjust some settings, or update some software. Try unpacking the iso/cso with UMDGEN.

I messed around with the settings a bit last night, nothing really crucial to report except that it doesn't work very well for me. (and most it seems?)

************* [ - Post Merged - ] *************
As I have said in the past post, computer specs, emulator settings and build, and file type of the game in use are all factors. I may do a video on this because it seems like it may be difficult for people to understand the whole emulator thing when it comes to the PSP, due to it having issues in general.
This is mainly due to the fact that the people using it are assuming that it's kind of pick an iso and run, like PS2 or Wii. Or ROM based emulators like FCEUX or SNES9X. These all work flawlessly because they are very mature with a huge user base who contribute to development, so if you are having problems, give enough information about the problem so they can look into it and send the log files too.
Sorry about the long post, I have a lot to say.

03:39 AM
well, if you know of the existence of some MSX emulator for ps3 (ie. a direct port of fmsx or blueMSX, not being part of a multi-system emu like mednafen) , please let me know
04-28-2012
01:55 AM
I really like blueMSX, but that's only compatible with computers. A port would not be hard, since so much code for the MSX is available in the form of the original source code and complete blueprinting, emulators, PSL1GHT, and tons of open libraries and such for support.
However, because the PS3 lacks the openness (for lack of a better word) than, say, the Wii, or the PSP, where it's unlocked totally it's hard for people to just say, "Hey, I wanna develop for this console".
Lot's of people either don't have a way to downgrade, or think it's too hard, etc. Until the PS3 is either unlocked via the per console key or (eh, maybe) the drive emulation, and a complete software modification solution is found, it'll be hard to get people interested.
Thank God we have the dev's we do now. I may have not contributed as much as them (lame sh scripts, self and elf converters, a text editor, etc.
On that note, I am feeling particularly excited about recent developments (EID dumper, BD emulation, increased amount of noob friendly GUI tools, etc), and I would like to say that I personally am up for porting any emulator to the PS3, so I may venture into that and see how it goes. I had plans for porting AssaultCube and updating my text editor with some Notepad++ code. Maybe if I ever get a decent computer that I have ready access to...Sorry for the long post
