i have tested and confirm it works. just place the eboot file in the Dir and run the exe. Now this enables users that dont have 1.0 to test there game out. although its not the same, it still better then nothing. but right now it can only run simple psp programs.

Note this is not a PSP Emulator. you can not play ripped iso, only homebrew games. more info at.

uterly pointless, why bother, the whole point is to have it work on the psp in the first place. all apps that you could use on the psp are already on the pc and are complete. e.g

incomplete emulators for the psp emu OR completed 100% speed on the pc
text editors on psp emu OR Microsoft Word
Homebrew apps on psp emu OR complete win32 libraries with source and documentation.

Kysen: are you kidding me, having a emu is very usefull. when instead of always connecting to your psp to test your game, right now we do not have the tools to connect directly with the psp. Actually most places use emulators when they test there game. i am currently working for motorola on a cell phone project, they have sent me a sdk package including an emulator for all the cell phone models. the purpose of the emulator is so you dont have to always connect it to the real thing or even in fact having the product on hand. there is an official psp Emulator use in the industry for testing there products out. So tell me why would sony them self waste time creating an emulator? it may not run to complete speed, but its the first step. this also allows us, non psp 1.0 owners a chance to start programming and testing our product on the psp. and give us a better understanding on whats going on.

do you really think sony want everyone using psp emus this early? this kind of thing will boost piracy.

sony has there own emulator, and right now this can only run homebrew games. btw emulators are not illegal. the piracy of games are. and that will also boost development time at the current state. Also no emu isnt going to boost piracy, mod chips will.

I don't see how this emulater is boosting piracy. the only thing it's boosting is homebrew dev. Before this emulater you had to have a psp 1.0 now you don't you can write a program test it and make sure it's working without any trouble. I also don't think this emul will allow you play psp games remember those games are encrypted ;)

Not really dev related, but not not dev related.

Moved to psp general.

oh nice, psp general has been re open.

Also its been confirm. this is not an emulator, only allows running converted Elf files to PBP files meaning homebrew games only. not comercial

Actually some emulators are illegal. For example, Nintendo has all the rights to anything that plays GBA games - so the VBA emulator is technically illegal.

nintendo's patent only covers gba emulation on a portable platform with limited resources. I'd say it's an abuse of the patent system anyways.

well eitherway this isnt an emulator, its only runs Elf Interpreter. which means only homebrew games not ripped iso.

v 0.6 has been released: http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/pspelf.shtml
downloadlink: http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/pspe06.zip

I still can't seem to be able to get the emulators to work though.

Anyone who wants an opensource cross platform mips emulator should
try Gavare's eXperimental Emulator:

http://gavare.se/gxemul/

I managed to get the hello world psp elf loaded on the R4000 emulation.
But because R4000 is normally 64 bit it fails to execute properly.

Maybe someone smarter than me will have more luck.

Yes i managed to do that with killPSP, hello world, and other demo's i just can't get the emulators to boot my rom, i'm getting an error of "no file header found". Anyway, it's a nice app for all the other stuff :)
