This is awesome news! Sure it runs slow but the fact that someone is working on it is great news!

indeed :)

not working with my swaploit

be sure to follow the instructions EXACTLY – \PSP\GAME\VBAPSP and rename the rom to “ROM.gba” – it worked fine for me.

is it too slow?

without the rom the program just goes to the main menu

yay! more final fantasy tactics action for me ^^

so i can only have one rom at a time since it has to be rom.gba

where is everybody getting GBA roms , i look everywhere they have them.. but they dont got any links to the files..

anyone got a hassle free GBA rom download site ?

Man, this is the shittiest emulator for psp I have ever seen. You can only get 1 rom at a time plus it goes extremely slow so you can’t enjoy the game. I hope someone improves this

its the first version so it will be improved

#10

Code one better? Until you’re ready to put in the time and the effort you should really sod off. It’s a very, very early version, and if you don’t like it nothing’s forcing you to use it.

#12, just ignore those people. Commenting on them makes a person no better then them.

There is a ROM Selector program you can get for it. I can’t post the link here as I’ve noticed all PS2NFO links get deleted.

i got everything set up right and it still takes me back to the main menu

G:/psp/game/vbapsp/rom.gba

right ?

I think you need to put the readme, im not sure. But if I were you #14, I would wait. But did you use the swap prog to make 2 eboots and put them in the right places?

i dont use MSwapTool (Method A) anymore , i use the PBP Unpacker cause i can make my own icons aka (Method B)..

i trust myself making eboots over a computer

but i guess i could try the mswaptool.. it would be the same tho

you can hold more than one rom at a time if you also download the “GBA File Selecter”, just check the forum under homebrew, where i posted the link earlier today if any one has problems just post somthing and I’ll help.

P.S. Recognition is always nice =)

Amazing, someone brings out something so kickass like this, and all some ppl can do is rail on it! Be happy and thankful that someone released something like this. If it wasn’t for dev teams doing this stuff you couldn’t enjoy playing roms like you do now. So shut the fuck up, its the first version. Give it time, the emu scene for psp is really new..

damn.

ISOHaven, I haven’t been deleting the PS2NFO links; I like those guys. Feel free to post it. :)

Does there have to be a rom folder

holy crap!! ssslllooowwww mmmoootttiiiooonnn. but its a start… yay!!! come on guys, you can do it, but the screen size is perfect!! and i cant wait for a full speed version!!

i got the game to work, but when i try the file selector it doesnt…where exactly does that blank notepad doc go?

#21, look at #10

#22.
no, there is no ROM Folder.
Info.
1) Place the rom in to the emulator file “VBAPSP” Any Name will work not just rom.gba.
2) Load the “ROM Selector”, on your PSP.
3) Locate the “VBAPSP” file where the ROMs are held, Select one the ROMs and press “O”
4)Press “HOME” and exite the ROM Selector,
5)Then Load the VBAPSP, and voila, your ROM will load up….

#24 & every one else.

The VBA files on bolth memory-sticks must be names “VBAPSP” all CapsLock in order for the ROM Selector to work Properly.

#26

all that does for mine is freeze the psp at the bootup screen

#24 & evry one else.

The not pad Doc. gos on your second memory-stick with the File selector BOOT.

ok, theres the screen shows the files in my memory card in tiny yellow text. im guessing thats right because when i get to my desired rom and press circle, japanese characters appear, which makes sense because this program is from a japanese author. do i turn off and make another swap (btw im using 1.5), meaning to select the rom and play requires two ms swaps?

I have a FULL TUTORIAL ON THE FORUM under HOME-BREW/GBA Eulator.

FULL TUTORIAL in the FORUM check it out.

Akira1422, You’re right, my bad. There was one bash. But that’s it. Screw him. He’s an idiot.

Everyone else here is very much greatful for the great start.

yeah.. did ur tutorial..

got the file selector to run..

went to run the gba emulator and it froze on the bootup loading screen

im going to just wait for another release on this

fluffer,
Make sure youre File containing the VBA laoder has the correct loader and that it has you GBA-ROM inside.

also, remember the VBAPSP files must be named “VBAPSP” in all CapsLockes

OH YEAH!!! you might want to try a diffrent rom its not currently compatable with some games or if its over 16MB.so try games like, “MARIO ADVANCE, or METRIOD FUSION” you know something smaller.

ok when i get the loader up..

do i load the rom though it.. or do i load the eboot in the VBAPSP folder ? then do the swap again after i go back home from the loader.. then swap the VBA emulator ?

READ THE TUTORIAL I ADDED ALL SWAP POINTS

I just find if funny that people bitch and say wtf why dont they just release it now.
Then when stuff is released in early development they bitch about it anyways.

great work with the emulator. keep it up

i got all the time in the world to wait

well.. unless my psp dies out from.. acts of god or something lol

Im doing everything it says in tutorial yet it still loads up then goes back to the psp menu screen – using a 8mb rom so it shud work. The file selector works fine – the gba is in the right folders name “VBAPSP” and all goes fine but then goes back to the menu. Anyone help or shud we just wait for the no swap exploit.

When I had that problem it was allways somthing minor tripple check everything, also when you select the rom and press “O” twice your memry-stick light should stay on for a while to show that its loading the rom for the next swap. if its not then the file system where the rom is located is the problem. hope that helps.

file selector still isnt working for me. i get stuck at the bootup screen and then it turns off by itself. since im using 1.5, do i havta put it through the swaploit program? i cant use the new one because i dont have a usb cable :[

I had both the Eboots in the appriote place. I have no problems with Snes9x. But I hit it on MS1, it goes to the PSP screen. I put in MS2, it fades to black, then goes back to the Home screen. What am I supposed to do because I crave Advance Wars

Yo, #41, just rename that gba rom to: rom.gba (in exact terms) then launch the program!

#44,the folder names should be VBAPSP

LOOK IF YOU FOLLOW THE TUTORIAL IN THE FORUM, WORD FOR WORD IT WILL WORK..

TUTORIAL is in the FORUM under HOMEBREW. VBA works with bolth SWAPLOIT and EXPLOIT.

ALSO, if its to hard to follow the instructions, just wait for a newer version that will probably be easier to opperate.

If you check the FORUM offten I’ll post updates as they are available.

NEW TUTORIAL for Exploit Direct Load. this might be easier for some.

got roms and file selector to work, thanks everyone for the help :]

it doesnt save!!!! wahh!!!

anyone know how fix that problem?

It has limited features it is a first version intended just to show you what the author is up to.

CURRENT LIMITATIONS INCLUDE:

NO roms over 16MB

NO “L” or “R” button function.

NO Menues

NO Rom Selector

NO Saving

there is no doubt that later version will be vastly improved

I will post updates as they are available in the FORUM.

oooh i see now
again, thanks for all the help

no prob bob =)

thanks for the emulator, how can it work on 1.5 ? can we use xploit tool to run it?

or are there any other GBA emulators? that are faster?

thank you

Hey, I’ve tried thid thing, and all it does is take me back to the main menu with no error message… Does the folder have 2 b “VBAPSP”??

oh and about my last comment, Ive been using it with Xploit. Does it not work for it?

tutorila in forum under homebrew.

This GBA emu will probly never be at full speed. In order to do that the whole psp would have to be remade because of the way the processors were built in the unit. I don’t think its possible to hack it to go much faster . . .

PLEASE help me…. I’m so confused. where do i basically put all the files? tell me the directory they shud be in. I know how to put them there correctly just need some sort of guideline.

When I run the VBA on my v1.50 PSP, it does the PSP logo thing, then goes black for a second, and shows me this.

“The game could not be started. (80020130)”

ok guys i found the problem put a copy of the 0 kb ROM.GBA file in the VBAPSP folder too.It worked for me.

All I can say is pure genius,,hands clapping and roarus applause to the dev people and the small guy for putting in the time and heavy hours of programming and debugging and all that technical stuff that I have no Idea about. thank you for trully making my PSP worth the money I payed. I have had to do some serious research on my own but with the aid of this site and google for every type of rom you could find and the readme files stored in the emulator you download from here I couldn’t lose and niether can you just follow all the directions and wallah!!! I now have a working VBA selector and gba loader and sega..nes..snes…and over 300 various games for the PSP now and I really couldn’t be happier although I really would like to see an update for a quicker gba and some emulators for the N64 and or PC games but I Love You guys the web site all your efforts have paid off already for at least me and I can be patient and wait so …… thanx everyone

hey can anybody tell me where i can find gba roms to play on the psp?

i want to no where i can get a gba emulator to work on my psp and gba roms to work on my psp?

i want to get a gba emulator to work on my psp?

I have a FULL TUTORIAL ON THE FORUM under HOME-BREW/GBA Emulator.

Where is the rom?Noob Website?

Im going insane! this stupid thing makes me feel like a dumbass.-.- not only does VBA launch but goes back to the psp home, but the file selector does the same >.
