PSMonkey’s N64 Emulator Update
greg | February 15, 2006
PSMonkey has posted a progress update for the N64 emulator currently in development:
God bless my gf and her taking over the pc for 20 mins. If not for her I would have not tested out all the PD roms I have on my PSP. Thanks to this I now have 2 count that, 2 brand new demos up and running. They are liners & 1964. Both would actualy progress furter if not for the lack of input/pif emulation.
Tomorrow I plan to test more PD roms and see if others work. At the moment everything else causes the psp to lock up somewhere (and roughly near each other). So hopefuly I can debug and fix this soon.
P.S. The Framerate is around 5.0-7.4 fps. A vast improvement over the previous 1.8 fps i was getting on fire demo.
This looks quite promising! Stay tuned for future advancements!

2nd! nice progress
#3 kool
but nice work cant wait till its done
off topic….but if nobody even gottan a GBA emulator to work good isn’t it kinda impossible to make the 64 work? not to rain on your parade but still good work…although i wish someone would have as much will as you to for the 64 as for the GBA
Is ur GF hot?
sweet
not necessarily. game boy advance is a newer system and is constructed way differently than say a N64. and probably oddly enough has a much crazier coding. its not that the psp cant run it. if thats what you’re getting at. This could pretty sweet. though
lol yea good work nice !!!
saw this on PSmonkeys site earlyer, prety cool.
Awesome!! Keep up the Great work!
dude thats what happin sony release PSP with frimwire can be hacked so everyone go run and buy them system and then after it they just update it and said goodnight to you so it wont happin again and deal with ur stuped PSP that no use for it if u dont buy ur games lol
awesome keep up the good work
if this became a full blown running n64 emu would it require GTA ? and if not would it run on 2.01?
Comment 14 WOOT nice work :D
Oh btw, Wouldnt it be better if some1 would HACK the P.S.P 2.0 Firmwire so that UMD Emulator can run it. That would be way better then the N64 Emu
Totaly cool, still not playable, but cool. Maybe you should let your GF on your comp more often! :)
i agree with #16 lol, Great Work man
Fantastic work! I may be a little skeptical, but I’m rooting for you all the way!
yay 1st!
#19, that was pretty funny! I actually laughed out loud.(fuck lol)
Yo. Kenny back in da house in full effezzect0r!
Well, I *still* have not upgraded from 1.50 and guess what Sony? I never will.
I love emulators. I don’t buy UMDs or run ISOs.
Good luck to you with your N64 efforts…but I wish the SNES would run full speed. I’m grateful for the programmers efforts after all they do it for the fun of it, not for cash.
Kenny peace out Homiez.
COMMENT 25 W00T
Preach On Bother Flamer.
This emu is a waste of time and a false hope for others. It was a poor choice to try porting over to begin with. Just start from scratch and save yourself the headaches.
dont listin to them prove them worng
kewl stuff :D but hey, I was on a business meeting yesterday.. about a new gsm/voip/landline technology dadada. and i was chatting with guy who owns the comp, Iconnect.. he told me that he’s son has firmware v3 on he’s psp.. can anyone confirm this?
im just wondering if you can run on 2.6
plzz dont yell at me
wow- why all the negativity? ok, you might think the guy is wasting his time making this emulator …so if there is significant progress just don’t put it on your psp. I think that what has been accomplished is great. It’s a long goal, but no one really thought that an n64 emulator would even get THIS far and thats been debunked. They guy isn’t getting paid for this, but he’s doing cool stuff for all of us, so why just tear into his work just to be negative? Let’s give him some support! PSMonkey you are awesome! Keep it up man.
C00l i wish i could be a good programmer lol!!
The SNES emulator does run at full speed, you just have to tweak it a little. I don’t notice any difference when running a rom. Everyone, STFU if you want to enjoy free/good homebrew for the PSP. Quit being so negative. You ignorant twits won’t stop for a second and realize what really is going on. People are coding for the better of PSP entertainment for you for free. If it weren’t for homebrew, I probably wouldn’t use my PSP half the time. Realize any amount of progress is progress. READ THE “README.txt” files and quit trying to be spoon-fed. Realize that these are “hacks” and really aren’t supposed to run, so the fact that we are all able to run some homebrew is a great feat. So, in closing, SHUT THE **** UP and let them do what they do and appreciate it.
If I recieved all this negativity when announcing my progress, I would quit coding for you twits.
ffs give sum enthusiasm u lot are relly boring, worst of all you never have any hope in any one, it always “stuf this this is shit i want a iso loader”
this is amazing, so far so good,
i think that sony should relise a firmwear that will alow homebrew like 2.xx with the gta that only launches small apps, not big iso launchers.
There should be somekind of like membership thing where you have to sign up before you can leave comments, or else f**gots are gonna keep leaving dumbsh** on this website. Anyone else agree?
u know what be cool
if someone can make a UMD burner :D and make RW so we dont have to buy a lot of them lol and make the case open and u can change the UMD inside that well be cool and who make it can make great money
This is great news, and i support you all the way :D. I’d love to be talented with programming as you are.
Flamers are useless because they don’t understand how people like to do things for fun, or to challenge possibilities.
Keep it up PSMonkey!
nice work but only 7 fps my ppc n64 emu rums about 50fps not sure how much you need to run smooth but some games on my ppc still run slow. keep up the good work though
john,
PPC? Pocket Pc or Mac/Power Pc?
Anyways to get to playable speed I need to write a dynamic or static recompiler. Atm I am just doing pure interpretation untill I have a solid base writen.
OFF this topic i need a little help with the remote thing for the psp i just came back from the hospital cuz i broke my rib doing some stunts on my bike. I now i,m late but if you guys could help me out email me plz Gsnk31@netscape.net
WOW this is going to happend i never thought it would great job
hey everyone lets donate 2 bucks to PS monkey!!
this is cool!
wtf are you babbeling about Stan. Dr. Phil runs fucking dating services and cures family problems in the most ridiclous ways possible. I on the other hand stated that our ability to post was not to flame a guy on his achievements, but to give feedback. Be it constructive criticism or just a nice “good job”, that’s why we are allowed/urged to post on here.
To ice the fucking cake, you bitches are going to attack the guys girlfriend. What the hell is wrong with you people.
PSmonkey, i commend you for your efforts and accomplishments. you and the other devs have turned a rather mediocre piece of gaming hardware into a great thing to use. if it weren’t for homebrew, i wouldn’t have even purchased the psp. hell, the only reason i purchased the xbox was it’s capabilities of being hacked.
the problem with everything making discoveries and wanting to share them with the world is that there will always be a band of 13 year old script kiddies, giving you shit and never contributing anything.
To the devs, i thank you.
To the flamers, etc., grow up.
Hehe, I love getting modded. How long before you remove this post too?
In any case, take my advice, PSM, and decide who matters enough to respond to and who doesn’t. Once you start letting yourself believe these crappers actually matter, you lose your cool, and any drive you may have had to continue to dev, and then the scene dies completely. Which, indeed, it gets closer to every day. Keep the spark going, man.
You dont have to worrie. Children like Flamer dont get under my skin. I just sometimes feel the need to yell back at them. It does not discourage me. It actualy just makes me have a good laugh that someone can think they’re soo cool by making a post about screwing my gf when they are the ones not getting layed. Really the guys who need to talk big about it are the ones not getting it. ;)
Anyways, if anybody wishes for more constant updates & inteligent discussion they can always register for the forums on my home page. I post there reguarly with status updates to all my projects (this & my 3rd person shooter iris).
Maybe that would be wise. Then you could monitor the posts personally.
Modded… was it something I said?
Now for heartfelt words of inspiration: Nice work PSmonkey
-Thumbs up-
I was just informed that PSPmonkey read this reply thing and has decided to end his progress with the N64 emulator…. gee thanks alot guys… Lol j/k
hey guys back in the scene this looks very promising great effort keep up the good work!!!2nd psp 1st one stolen(bast@ards)but im back with a v1.5 virgin off ebay keep on trying cant wait to play starfox or killer instinct gold yeah!!!!!!!
It will never work at full speed, sorry folks. But if by some miracle it does, well i might not sell my psp.
But really, it till never work :)
He should release the source of his latest work. All I’ve got is that first emulator source that runs and freezes. I wouldn’t mind helping to code. Everyone wants MarioKart 64 on their PSP’s, let’s work together and get it going! Release the source!!!!
#48 at least you have changed a bit , first n64 emulator post you were insulting PSmonkey and people who beleived in the emulator , now even though your still negative you aren’t talking crap as much as before but still don’t insult psmonkey or his girlfriend because thanks to the this is progressing , and why do you insult a girl by saying she is ugly , din’t you ever learn matters.
manners*
To LOL…
Dude, a nerd probly wouldnt know of any other system than a computer. PSMonkey, I dought is a nerd.
Also, Monkey, I think wat u r doing is gonna be great 4 the PSP. Good luck.
Hey i have a question, if this dosen’t work, which im praying it does, but just IF it dosen’t couldnt someone port Mario Kart 64/Super Mario 64 to PSP like how other people have done with computer games?
God gets hated on no matter how much good you do there will always be someone hating so get use to it. Or kill them all. lol j/k
I’m hopin 4 Pokemon Stadium…
#56, wat the heck r u talkin about?
#59 sweet
cool man, keep up the great work. cant wait to see the finished product.
i can’t belive this person actually is going to do this. But still its only a very unplayable 5-7 FPS.
Um, hey mods? If you’re going to delete my and Stan’s posts, you damn well better whack LOL’s worthless comments.
Hey, I got modded too! Let me post it again… Keep up the good work PSMonkey ,we’re rooting for you! And to LOL, if you have nothing good to say keep your damn trap shut… We should be so fortunate that people make these homebrew on their spare time and distribute it out for free. It’s people like you LOL that coders get so fucking fed up with. That’s why we lost Gameshark and others. Soon, will have no new homebrew because of your childish shit. So other than posting useless shit on the comments go take a shower, put on some clean clothes, and please get a fucking life…
And, PSMonkey, again keep up the great work and you rock dude!
…oh, and Flamer too…
N64 emulator is pretty possible but will take alot of effort and time. thanks PSmonkey for giving the time and effort to make a N64 emulator.
the game i want is good but sometimes lags slightly still on pc. GOLDENEYE ANYONE.
please make it fw 2.0 eboot loader compatible.
No… this will never be able to run commercial games at playable speeds. The XBOX has trouble running them… I guess people need to find something to do with their time though. All of this is for nothing… the 7~ fps is for a public domain rom which pushes no graphic capabilities, you people are getting overly excited. I guarantee this will choke
GOD! Why must everyone be so damn negative? What this guy is doing for us is cool. If it turns out to not work, at least he tried. Keep up the great work, PSMonkey.
Like 65 said fkin hell chill out dont be so down beat a least monkey is trying to push the boundries of what the psp can emulate this is only the tentertive 1st step in a long road still loads of work to do but he doesnt need people kicking him in the teeth at every turn.GREAT WORK keep it up monkey.
I wonder when they’re gonna make a genesis emulator for 2.5 homebrew… I can’t wait to get Sonic on my PSP. Plus if Monkey gets this to work, I can get Goldeneye & Pokemon Stadium. Keep it up, PSMonkey.
I want legand of zelda ocarina of time and legend of zelda majora’s mask on my psp , I need them on my psp , make this possible , my the hacking force be with you ( haha I sound like a nerd ).
i had to see my n64, ps1, gameboy, gba, etc. to get my psp. if this works ill be the happiest person alive. i miss all those classics like zelda, mario kart, goldeneye, mario 64, banjok, and super smash. your doin great keep up the good work!
Dude… u rock
eversince my friend downgraded me to 1.5, i’ve been wishing for an n64 emu
thanks to people like you, we are able to put things like this on our psp so thanks man you are the S!@#
hey lets all donate 2 bucks to PSmonkey!!
this will never work u guys are just trying to get it to work but it will never happend and thats a fact.
It will work , It willwork , It will work ( WTF I sound like a broken record ).
never owned an n64 but just got an emulator for the pc and am lovin zelda. if this emu gets to a decent fps ill dl it
How sweet is 007 Goldeneye on my PSP!?! Cant wait!
#73, you know what would be very ironic? How about five months from now, this actually works at decent speed and plays most N64 roms. Then all you nay-sayers will be pretty much eating your own shit… Anything is possible people, let’s not try to be like fucking psychics and already assume that this won’t work.
#77 leave #73 alone because he’s probably one of the people who start talking crap back when they get “offended” ( lol I’m funny , I think ) , and it’s better to wait ti’ll it works so then everyone can point at his post and strt laughing at it and then he starts crying and then starts to curse everyone and inventing excuses ( ok that was stupid )
YEAH! That’s what i’m talkin about. N64 emu update! PSmonkey, great work. When this gets its first release, i’m definitely donating. Oh yeah.
psmonkey , even though it runs at 5-7 fps I will still want to download it though it’s slow , plz post it here so we can hav the first taste of the emulator ti’ll it come out.
psmonkey is fuckin cool. listen u negative nancy motherfuckers. if u think it wont work then dont fuckin download it assholes. at least he’s tryin his best. i bet every single 1 of u that psmonkey will get it to work at good speed. #73 stop being a negative douchebag.
# 29
qft:)
this is great. it can work, def, n64’s encoding is alot less compex then gba, almost like SNES. this is more then possible, i can’t wait to get zelda and mario on my psp:)
This isn’t gonna work on 2.6 right? I’ve been gone for a while, so is there a way to downgrade from 2.6 to like 2.0 or 1.5 or something?
psmonkey if this works for 2.6 plz send me a copy even though it only runs at 5-7fps just to have a taste of the emulator , send it to wfuentes@msn.com
LAST POST!!!!
