What is all about

I've owned a PSP for a few years now and personally I think its the best gaming machine there is. It plays great games as well as being a multi media device playing music and video. Hell it even has internet. Now until recently I just went along to the shop and brought my games and away I went until a new game came out and then I went and brought that as well. Spending hundreds of dollars on all the top games ( I always want the latest games).

Well a few months ago I realized I had been seriously missing out. I came across some EMULATOR SOFTWARE for my PSP and boy can you have some fun with that. Just imagine the fun I've been having, I download loaded some classic games like Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Using emulator software on your PSP can be a little tricky and if you don't no what your doing you can get into a little trouble. OK so first of all it seems pretty obvious but your going to need some emulator software for your PSP, now this can be found many places over the internet but you must be careful. Only get the software from a place you can trust. Where's that I here you say. Read on below and I'll let you know where I got mine (great trustworthy source).

So when you have your emulator software you will need to check the firmware version of your PSP. Some later firmware versions will not allow you to use emulator software but there is no need to panic because there are ways to downgrade your PSP's firmware. So basically speaking every PSP can use emulator software just some easier than others.

Once the emulator software is up and running you will need to find some games to use with it, game files used with emulator software are called ROMS.

You basically have a few choices. You can go the free route now this is where you have to beware, free is not always better, sometimes the software doesn't work, its slow or even filled with virus's.... so a word of warning, software from an unknown source can render your PSP useless.

Now there are also membership sites and again you have to do your homework because there are good membership sites and bad membership sites. .

Now a great membership site will have great customer service, you will be able to contact them by email or phone. They will have thousands of satisfied customers. Everything will be explained with step by step guides. They will have downgrading software as well as emulator software.

I've been a member of this great site for a few months now and wait for it they have 20 million files to download. games, music, themes, backgrounds and a whole lot more. over 20,000 great games. I've been having a great time looking at all the game they have. It really is worth a look.

MVSPSP, CPS1 and CPS2 Emulators for PSP-3000

NoEffet and Davee have removed the PSP Slim hardware check on NJ’s Neo Geo and Capcom play system 1 and 2 emulators. So they will now work without needing to cache the ROMs. So your now using the full 64mb of on-board PSP-3000 ram.
These emulators come highly recommended by us. Basically you have perfect arcade emulation of Capcom CPS1 and CPS2 arcade games like 1941, Mercs, Dark Stalkers and Street fighter II and with MVSPSP, near perfect Neo Geo arcade emulation for games like Art of Fighting, Metal Slug 2 and Samurai Shodown etc
P.S The above youtube video I recorded doesn’t do the emulators justice. Because remotejoy lite uses some 25% or more of the PSP’s power to run the video output. On your PSP its as quick as the real thing. Apart from Metal Slug series which the real life SNK Max Gear Mega pro-spec arcade machines couldn’t handle either….

Emulators for PSP

JPCSP is the first PSP emulator that is written in JAVA. Most people think java is too slow. But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.

 PSPE is one of best but this emulator still can't run any commercial PSP game, you can try it by playing some demos and homebrew games. 

It is important to remember that this emulator is the first of its kind, but after all we are expecting more updates for this project and why not more PSP emulators.

 
An important thing is that you need to get SDL.dll in order to run the emulator. 

Simple DirectMedia Layer(SDL) is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. It is used by MPEG playback software, emulators, and many popular games, including the award winning Linux port of "Civilization: Call To Power."

What Is emulators for PSP

For first let we see what Is emulator;
In computing language , an emulator is hardware or software that emulates(or duplicates) the functions of a first computer system in a different second computer system, so that the behavior of the second system closely resembles the behavior of the first system.
This focus on exact reproduction of external behavior is in contrast to some other forms of computer simulation, in which an abstract model of a system is being simulated. For example, a computer simulation of a hurricane or a chemical reaction is not emulation.

A video game console emulator is a program that allows a computer or modern console (cross-console emulation) to emulate a different video game console's behavior. Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to play games translated into other languages or to modify (or hack) existing games. Emulators are also a useful tool in the development process of homebrewed demos and new games for older systems.

They are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to translate games into other languages, to modify existing games, and in the development process of home brew demos and new games for older systems. The internet has helped in the spread of console emulators, as most - if not all - would be unavailable for sale in retail outlets.
