PSPVBA: GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP v1.2.3

Hi All,

Who said i give up ? I never give up when i got ideas to make things going better

.

Here is a new version of PSPVBA the GameBoy Advance Emulator for PSP, which is a bit faster (up to 6% on v-rally 3) compared to v1.2.2 !

This version doesn't work for +2.0 FW !

What's new in version 1.2.3 :

- Rewrite critical parts of graphic emulation source code
- Rewrite critical parts of the ARM emulator to make it going faster
- Review memory cache strategy
- Bug fix and code cleaning

How to use it ?

Have a look to the README.txt file !

One binary version for 1.5 FW and sources are included in the zip archive.

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

pspvba-v1.2.3.zip

Enjoy,

Zx.

Awesome job with all of the hard work you've done with the VBA emulator! I have a couple of questions though:

When I play my Pokemon Fire Red GBA rom I cant save in the game because it gives me an error saying "Save Error, Please Exchange The Backup Memory".

My other problem is when i'm playing my DBZ Buu's Fury rom I get and error saying "The Game Will Not Run On This Hardware" right when i'm about to enter the Grand Kai's house towards the beginning of the game. Thanks in advance

You gotta find the patch for the dbz game or else it dosent work. i remember when i use to have that same problem like 1 year ago, so i found the patch and patcher and fixed it and beat the game without any problems.

Oh man I would be very grateful if you could tell me where I can get the patch at! I really wanna be able to play this game on my PSP so badly!

When you disable the cache write back, it's faster but with some graphic artefacts.

Did you take the good version for your firmware ? Did you install it properly (have a look to the readme file

).

hi, i have a problem with the VBA emulator it wnt let me save my pokemon black chaos game because it says save error please replace backup memory how do i fix it? thanx

#13 sparky on Sep 5 2006, 14:57 Reply

Hi,

A folder called "save" should exist in the pspvba directory ... If it doesn't exist, It might explain your bug

..

Take care,

Zx.

#16.1.1 kuchiki fan on Apr 29 2007, 21:08 Reply

this might help...even though i sound like a total noob.......do you save in game by going to start then save...etc.....or do you press shift+1-9........if you press shift+1-9......(1-9 means any number from 1 to 9)......then it should work...if nto just save in game......if those dont work....i dunno.....

HELP!! im using the VisualBoyAdvance emulator now (long story...) anyway, i've got a rom for Buu's Fury but encounter the exact same problem as with the PSP emulator (the bit where you enter grand kai's mansion but get that "The Game Will Not Run On This Hardware" message.

Is there any way i can sort this problem out please?!?!

Would be very much appreciated! =]

#20 SUPRA on Jul 22 2007, 23:29 Reply

Use the gpsp emulator instead of this one

im running homebrew m33, your emulator works but it is very choppy, do i need to downgrade or is there anything i can do to fix this, in the recovery console i have set kernal to 1.50 and things seem to have sped up a fraction but it is still nigh on unplayable.
thanks for your time, this appears to be some very well thought out software

#23 Pok'efiend on Sep 17 2007, 22:41 Reply

damn i'm not getting smarter with this game... i'm talkin' about buu's fury... "the game will not run on this harware" i need help about this please!!!!

if you have any info or if you can help me send me a mail...

Alright everyone, I have the answer. When u want to save in pokemon in the regular way u have to go to options: emulator: save type: and change to 128k and then reset the game. when u do this though u will lose your current game but after you should be able to save reguarly. Have only tested this on VBA. oh, and if you need anny help, just mail me. im the allknowing machine

#25 William on Feb 27 2008, 00:33 Reply

the 128k thing didnt work for the fire red... any advice?

#26 lgw on May 24 2008, 16:57 Reply

This is a dead project, use gpsp instead

#26.1 zx-81 on May 24 2008, 17:20 Reply

Um I tried it and I just get a message saying
"This game cannot be started
The Data is Corrupted"
Is there something I forgot to download or something else I was supposed to do....(My mistake wasn't leaveing them in the fw1.5 folder and it looks right but then I click and nothing...what's wrong...)

#27 Mikey on May 28 2008, 04:55 Reply

You have to install a custom firmware (have a look on dcemu.co.uk or pspupdates.qj.net for details)

Btw, this is a dead project, you'd better install gpsp emulator which is much faster than this one,

hi i downloaded the program but im not quite sure on how to put it on my psp.... when ever i try it says corrupt data on my psp in the game file if u could be nice and tell me on how to put it onto my psp so i can my games it would be much appreaciated...

You need to install a custom firmware on your psp to be able to run any homebrew (see on pspupdates.qj.net or dcemu.co.uk for details).

PSPVba is a dead project, you'd better install gpsp instead ...
