Monkey64 v1.0 Released!
greg | March 10, 2006
PSmonkey has released the first installment of Monkey64 – the N64 emulator for the Sony Playstation Portable! While still in early stages of development, this is truly a step forward in the right direction!
A few things to note, from the keyboard of PSmonkey:
- While Rsp & Rdp emulation is started it is far from complete. As well there are still numerous issues in the main cpu core. I plan to fix things as soon as I can get to them.
- This won’t run mario64 or 99% of the n64 library. Some roms are starting to do things with Mortal Kombat Trillogy actually being playable (to some extent).
- I know there are odd looking color squares when running some commercial roms (like Mortal Kombat). The reason is because I have not completed texture support in rdp. I am hoping to get a revision out asap once this is fixed.
- The emulator is slow. Some PD roms do a pretty nice framerate but games like Mortal Kombat do about 5fps. This is due to the emulator still being on a pure interpreter core. In good time I will build a dynamic recompiler so we can get some more playable framerates.
- The app is in user mode. So it is quite possible this works on 2.0+ psp units. I just sadly don’t have the time to check.
To use:
- Create a folder labled “n64″ on the root of your memory stick.
- Copy your roms into the “n64″ folder (roms MUST NOT be zipped).
..) Example “G:\n64\” (replace G: with your psp drive letter) - Copy the files from the folder containing your psp version number
..) Example, 1.0 users will go into 1.0 folder and copy the psp directory to the root of the memory stick. - Run the software
So check it out and leave your comments/feedback below!
Download Monkey64 v1.0 – included are a few PD roms.
Thanks for the heads up Edward!

People like you make it worth while owning a PSP!
i got it working for 2.6 but it wouldnt run the roms it said it was goin 39.o frps so i dont know
it says insufficent memory 4 zelda 64
YEAH. keep going PSMonkey. GREAT WORK
this is a great emulator
Can’t wait ’till this runs at full speed!! Keep up the great work PSMonkey!!
Thanks a alot PsMonkey Boy we all appreciate the time you are spending for us, but I wish you concentrate only on Mario64 and/or Mario Kart64 because those are the killer titles on the Beloved N64 and they were emulated on 90% of Windows emulators.
Cheeeerz ;)
thats gay all the roms i try dont work south park mario zelda nothin but wen i try the game he likes mortal combat guess wat it works
im gonna pass till he updates it but its still 1 really big step
#17
Did you even read the post? It says the emulator is in its infant stages and will not run 99% of the commercial roms. It specifically states that Mortal Combat is the only one working right now.
It takes time to develop these things and I commend PSmonkey for even trying. :)
This sweet. Hopefully some time soon I will be playing super mario 64 on my PSP. Keep up the good work PSMONKEY :)
fuck mario 64.. keep working on mk trilogy!!!!
name at least one game that anyone got working
even with this in its infancy, i think i speak for the majority of this bunch when i say a big HELLS YEAH to the dev team. major props :-D
Can’t wait for Mario 64 .. Or even Banjo Kazooie would be soooo sweet :P Ahah just kidding .. Keep up the good work! U’re a master coder!! :D
this thing is a peice of shit
#25, u r a piece of shit. i bet u couldnt do better than psmonkey even if ur life depended on it.
Does it work with Bomberman 64?
OMG psmonkey , soon this would work and we’ll be playing legend of zelda ocarina of time with 20 fps , psmonkey you rule , I will put you in the list in my mind of most important people
George Bush
Charles Manson
Fidel Castro
Michael Jackson
old guy in the 3rd avenue
wait that’s not right , sorry that was the list of people I most hate , sorry let me do it again
Bill Clinton
Kneal Peart
Jeff Skilling
KFC old guy
psmonkey
ok , now it’s correct , wow , when zelda ocarina of time works I will be amazed , psmonkey will be known better a hacker than fanjita himself.
PEOPLE, this does not run COMERCIAL ROMS, it runs public roms, free roms, maybe next build will support some comercial games, but this one should not.
28 I just read that and how can you say that ._. Fanjita found a way to run freaking homebrew on 2.01, 2.5 and 2.6, sorry but he wont pass fanjita, but he will be VERY close.
PSMonkey….Man, If Get the EmU from an infant to its final stages…. You Will BE DA-MANNNN… You possibly just as good as Fanjita or even BETTER!!! Appreciate da hard work like the rest that put up comments for ya… Peace,
805 Cali
yay!! i got mortal kombat trilogy to work on my psp,which is 2.0 but….its really..like fuzzy and i can’t really play….
YES OH GOD YES OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH THANKYOU
I bow to you now… and we are not worthyyyyy… please please make it work so we could all play wcw vs. nwo.. wcw vs. nwo revenge.. wwf wrestlemania 2000… my golly wow!!!!!!!!!
keep up the good work
(begging) make it work pleaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeee……..
good start, keep up the good work!
good job you deserve some sleep…
hay give a list of you can play on this emu.
welcome to the world of master coders PSMONKEY, you rock my socks
only if it worked on 2.6…..without GTA
I really appreciate the work that is being done here. I have one thing to say. You should not compare PSMonkey to anyone, nor Fanjita. It is not fair.
so it doesn’t work on 2.6 or what? anyway, i still dont know where to save it or how to run it. the directions didnt help much.
hello?
what exactly is the root of my memory stick?
yo people………..lets all donate to psmonkey
well so far it doesnt work for 2.6 it… it loads up the menu but it doesnt load any of the pd roms supplied or even mk trilogy well as many other emulators started this will only keep building, hopefully this will load the next update on 2.6 or when fanjita updates his eloader which ever comes first.
i just need better instructions. thats all
would someone tell me where im suppost to make the n64 folder at.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I need super help!!!!!!!!!!
psmonkey is fuckin awesome
#49 Put the n64 folder at the root of the memory stick.
OMG!!! PSMONKEY fuckin rocks, when it gets fully running i’ll get to play all the n64 games portably!
this is why the psp rules..m heres the bit,,, prps monkey… as 4 the bashers 4get them they dont understand… this will be among the greatest hacks…ahh ahha ha ahhha …psploaders,,MPH FAnjita, psp browser, psp radio, psppda….. paz noto
This will be awesome, we will have two of the killer titles of the DS, only without ONLINE… But still… TOTALLY Worth it!! I cant wait for Super Smash Bros. Oh man the memories… And PERFECT DARK!!! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT!! MAN I LOVED IT!! T_T.. :D
Oh my god I SO agree! I have GOT to get perfect Dark and Smash bros on psp!
OH GOD YES! I cant WAIT to play Perfect Dark and Smash bros on my psp!
wOOt! simply amazing if i get money in my pay pal account it will go to YOU!
great site for roms is http://www.romhustler.net but you need winRAR to open them.
can someone help me with lua i save the file as script.lua but it says no script found and i tried saving it as index.lua but it still says no script found and when i try to run lua player on windows the cmd thing pops up but then it goes away so im wonderin if theres any way to fix that
Nice proof of concept, nothing more. Those of you wanting to play zelda 64 though can forget about it, a 32 megabyte rom will not fit into the psps 32 megabytes of ram and leave enough room for the emulator itself. Even at its best this emulator will never be able to play any roms larger than 192mbit (24megabytes) and that is they can somehow reclaim some of the ram reserved for the PSP OS. On the other hand at least it will probably run mario 64 someday.
MAKE SOME NEW STUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
#45… the root of the momory stick is just the first screen, the one that has the psp folder
#28 u own
are u a drumer seeing that u put down kneal peart (isn’t he the drummer for rush)?
Ahhh… if it only could run Conker’s bad fur day and Zelda someday…
you people are fucking idiots. n64 rul3z th0!
i realize that emus are practically impossible to code so huge props, atm you are my hero! ;D keep up the good work, if you get zelda 64 running i will give you my first born child.
wow, cant believe they are progressing in creating a n64 emulator, the idea of it is just AWESOME, but wen you think about it, snes emulator’s aint running at full speed, i was playin yoshi’s island earlier and the rates werent dat good, so im not expectin too much from the n64 one.. the idea of playin your favourite n64 games on ur psp is sweet, but i think its gonna b a while b4 that happens… if it eva does..
Good work Monkey !! I love you man. I think all coders should be thanked in a big way for bringing us the entertainment we all deserve !! Long live the underground.
hey dont dis n64 ok its awsome keep going PSmonkey i will suport your emu on my site if you like look mail me if you need anything i can help you with coding and stuff look here my email pkmn100@hotmail.com ok ohh and check my site out and tell me what you think gta3lcs.co.nr
it dont work on 2.0+ but u could download romz off of bearshare
ok tried on my 2.6 psp works fine loaded mortal kombat tril its not really playable but definatly great start keep it up monkey good job
i have about 150 roms even though its not really supported for the science of thigns ill try them all
i could already picture the future… me playing ocarina of time on my psp in the middle of my physiology class
comment *68 it does soo i got it to work on 2.0 psp it works fine and chi-boi in post *69 got it work on 2.6 so what are on about
k so what i have found so far is that Bust-A Move-3 DX frames are running at 82 fps while all other either not try load at all or run at like 4 frames. but bust a move stays at a fuzy blue screen. maybe this could be of some use maybe could get this game working…
omfg i think this is awsome!!! (sorry if im a little late) but great job monkey now to try the worst game ever for n64 and see what happens… off to GLOVER!!
ok so for auto laborgini a bright blue screen shows and the grey bars show where it is supposed to be words
PSMONKEY.. YOU ROCK MAN!!! This is awesome. keep up the great work. F*ck those ppl who are never satisfied they never appreciate what people like you do for them. Big ups to you man.. PSP 1.5 is still alive and running. N64 on my psp.. man if it wasn’t for people like you life would be so boring. Hopefully you’ll get around to working out the kinks. When you do i’ll be there to give you more props. Good job.
man imagine.. i play killer instinct for snes on my psp now… playing killer instinct GOLD for N64… im drooling already.. keep up the good work man.
http://www.fanjita.org/
new eboot loader yay
its so dumb,sorry for the bad comment but it plays nothing,i cant wait for a update that play real games.
but you tried your best,good job for this lil demo.
Thank you for all your work put into this and #80 its not soposed to play anything just yet its prof of concept.
Some say that they got at least the menu on 2.0+… How do you do that? I only donwload 1.0 and 1.5! I don’t understand…
its rubbish at the moment none of my games work apart from pong and i have mario kart/ mario 64/pokemon/mortal combat but its going to rock when it work good on ya 4 makin this
psp monkey im a hacker from uk ive been editing your emu so it can play 76% of games amil me at my little brother emil adress thank you
I know this thing is one of the best pieces of homebrew ever. Props to PSmonkey.
Hey look at that PSP-Hacks even mentioned the heads up I sent them… kool.
awesome
where do i find 2.60 root directory
oand the 2.60 folder
Great job! btu when im running mario kart 64 it crashes and shuts down..
CAn Some one please tell me exactly how to put this on 2.60!!! please!!
all i have to say pspmonkey is thank you for all the hard work your doing
If it’s possible to run this on 2.60 without GTA and eLoader, plz email me at chrikke666@hotmail.com with instructions… Thanks :)
i kind of pisses me of when noobs leave there email and ask people to email them instructions to something that isnt currently possible… dont be lazy check every so often on psp news. you just might learn a little something
anyways nice proof of concept now its only a matter of months till an update.
hey pspforever i remember you i think you were the one who told me that n64 was possible on the psp, well i was kind of skeptical but i guess i was wrong
is it possible to put this on 2.01 and if so where is the folder i only see 1.0 and 1.5
The day I can play Beetle Adventure Racing on my PSP is the day I can die a happy man.
How can I get this running on 2.0+ (I got 2.6) I never got an emulator on my PSP before
This is a message to chrisfile.
Please don’t tell me you believe the Donkey 64 story. That emu was fake and PSdonkey the so called master coder was banned. In fact he was banned twice before for simular stuff. He kept renewing his IP.
This is what Kaiser one of the mods at DcEmu had to say.
Donkey 64 was a fake emulator. The video was made by PSDonkey/IRwin/chrisfile/Pigtails_19. We’ve banned him many times because he keeps resetting his IP, but we figured out a solution that will keep him away. Best just to forget that whole episode ever happened.
If you want to play mario 64, get a DS ;)
at least 75% of noobs here bought a psp and are bashing the ds and mario. Then when a n64 “emulator”(5fps lmao) comes they are all excited. Silly cows.
just got the new psm and it talks about the n64 hack the psmonkey is working on way to go dude
great job! cant wait for the update:)
** Ok guyz here is the NEWB Tip of the day **
This emulator does work for 2.0+ Including 2.6 because I have a 2.6 Myself.
Now for most homebrew on 2.01+ you need to get the homebrew made for PSP Firmware 1.0 because it runs more compatible than having to code a % folder like in 1.5
So meaning it will work on 2.0+ firmwares if you use the 1.0 eboot instead. This Emulator is in USER MODE which is what we require on most homebrew on 2.01+ firmwares.
Game Guru
FYI – IT IS WORKING ON 2.6 I tried Pong and it runs at 24 FPS.
It’s a start, but where is the N64 logo as seen in the screenshots when news about the N64 emu was released? Also for those who are in question on whether this can be actually done or not read below and give your opinions. In my opinion, I can’t say yay or nay, we’ll just have to wait and see.

@game guru
when you say that they emulator will work on 2.00+ firmware, do you need to use the GTA trick to get the emulator running? or can you simply follow the directions supplied?
can you put games on 2.60 instead of pong
hey , why was one of my comments deleted , I did not write anything wrong , ohh well.
you’re doing an awesome job pspmonkey,i think you just made all of those ppl who said “a n64 emu will never work” shut up for good :)
lol, SuperSmash Bros AdHoc…
*bug-eyes*
hehe
Do you need to use the gta loader trick to run it or not???
ps. Dont be a dick about me asking
hey how can i get my psp to run mario on 2.00?
Most historic games for the N64:
Mario Kart
Mario 64
Goldeneye
Zelda – The Ocarina Of Time
Once this works with those, i’ll download it :D But as for now, good work!
GOLDEN EYE works only at 5fps
in order for 2.00+ the n64 emulator must be an eboot file a rar file wouldn’t work, for instance i use fanjita’s eloader and i have a v.2.60 psp so it would be impossible for me to just load the emulator from my memory stick.
I cant wait till smash bros works! It would be sick if the author of this program could put multiplayer support for multiple psp’s.
#113 ur a fucking liar
hey would super smash bros work?
How do u load the roms??
I get to the menu and then it says load rom,then i hit it and it just makes the letters jump. what should i do??
So it is only possible to run Mortal Kombat Trillogy, as N64 rom?
# 116 No it really works, it just so slow and all i see is lots of pixels lol.
jesus christ, im still confused about this…..
lol, i have a 2.0 and i have no clue wat the number version folder is about, and i got the “Bière d’Alsace” player …. can anyone hepl
(graverobber310@yahoo.com)
OMG I’m impatient , I need a working n64 emulator for the psp , I can’t hold much longer, I gotta have it , OMG plz try and finish this before the month ends , It’s just that I’m too impatient ( like a little kid although I’m 14 years old ) , but , if you need more time it’s fine with me…. but I really want it finished soon , waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ( now I’m crying like a little kid , I’ll look for Pepsi to tranquilize :) ) , OHMYGODIMONFIRE. ohh and I would like any expert hacker to try to hack a 120gb flash card on a psp , if any of you get to do that I will be very happy , I need want my psp to have 120gb , it will be very good for my psp , and me.
No… it can’t be… Is someone impersonating PSMonkey or is it really coming out in one month? No… someone’s impersonating him or he’d announce it on his site right?? And that kind of progress done in one month? No way…
all psp-hacks has is a rar file, shouldn’t it be a zipped folder?
A rar file is almost the same as a zip file, just get winrar.
#122, hate to break it to you, but you ARE a kid…. Go take your riddlin and be on your way, the psp’s filesystem only lets you have 4 gig partition, there are no 120 gig flashcards, good luck finding one, so try somewhere else to request impossible feats. good day
Yes ill release the next update next Month ,for now have FUN!!
even if one works its great why? cause its free.
Can someone post a list of known to be working eboots
I’m using 2.50 and it works just like with lower firmwares.
for 2.6 do you need gta lc
122# will be fine just stop tuckin those snickers under his breath
for 2.6 do you need gta libety cities
how you get rit of rar. in the back
It will be about another 2 to 3 months!! sry.
stop posing, no I will not post the update until I am able to run at least one REALIABLE rom
what version do you need to use to play on 2.5? do i use 1.0 or 1.5
Hey PSMonkey, it says on your sites forums that it will take one to two weeks to come out with another update with working textures. Anyways, can’t till it’s all done.
PSmonkey Keep up the good work man. This is a HUGE feat since no one’s touched n64 on psp yet. well not that i know of anyways. If you could do this I’m guessing maybe there’s a way around the whole 2.0 firmware no emus without GTA thing.
anyways keep it up man. Countin on ya.
how smooth does it run? anyone know
please can someone explain to me how to get it working on my 2.6 ver of PSP.. i jus want a emulator to work! :(
139 again.. Fazz_786@hotmail.com is my addy
DOES THIS WORK ON v2.66?
cud u tell me any site that has roms working on psp v2.60
how do you work this. it opens it up in adobe on my comp and says it can not open it
Iam confused about step #3 could someone explain where that data is located.
