Hello,

I was wondering if there is a working PSP emulator around. It's really long to flash the files everytime on the PSP and start the program just to test an animation... I have a quite recent version of PSPSDK, and PSPE doesn't work anymore.

Sorry for asking this question, but I've searched on the Internet, and the only thing I found is that PSPE is no more compatible since a pretty old version of PSPSDK, which uses some instructions that makes PSPE crash. But I didn't found a working emulator instead (some projects were opened, but nothing now).

Thanks in advance for your help ^^

Yeah... I wish...
But i guess the psp hasnt been explored enough to make a good emulator yet.

Until we have a good PSP emulator the best way imo is to use Fileassistant++ to launch your app. It starts USB direcly on start and apps can go back to Fileassistant++ after you quit. Then make a .bat file or something to compile your code and copy it to the PSP.

Yeah file assistant is a good way to do it, but someone needs to make a native PSP compiler, that would be great. It could use p-sprint as the input method, i like p-sprint.

Someone was working on a psp emulator a while ago (july) and it could actually run some games (puzzle bobble completely and the beginning of mercury). I assume it would be able to run some simple homebrew games but it wasn't released.

Heres the thread:

Anyone know of any updates to this project?

Thanks. Is there still no working emulator now?
I lose LOTS of time always sending the program to the PSP (even with FileAssistant), especially when it crashes (holding 10 seconds power button then power-on...). I've searched, it seems to be a lot of projects, but all are fakes/dead... (or I missed one?)
I really need a way to test my programs on PC, else it won't be possible to continue (not even possible to debug anything...), and I can't port my PSP library on PC because I lack of OpenGL knowledge and motivation - it's too big now (and it would be too long to maintain both) :(
Has anyone an emulator I could at least try? Or a dead project from which the source could be released?
Thank you in advance

Sadly, the only PSP emulator there is is the old PSPE, which like you said is outdated.

I believe that PSPX thing was fake, InflamedSpirit. I saw it once on PSPU, and never heard of it again.

imo, it shouldn't be too hard to take a PS2 emulator, and edit it enough to run PSP homebrew, should it?
