PS1P Alpha 1

Gary13579 | November 25, 2006

It’s finally here! The long awaited (and rumored fake) PS1 homebrew emulator has finally been released. It may not be as fast as the official PS1 emulator, but at least you don’t have to spend $2,000 on eBay (that’s right, you must have a PS3 to use the official PS1 emulator) and update to a homebrew-less firmware to use it.

From the read me:

The wait is worth it. I’m releasing a version that will run anything. ISO, BIN, Z and ZNX. The rest you know. scph1001.bin and images in the __SCE__ps1p directory.

This version has some compatibility problems which I plan to fix soon, for example the FF7 intro movie doesn’t run. You can play the game though, just get past the intro using a standard PC emulator (PCSX, ePSXe, …) and copy over the memory card file (mcd001.mcr or mcd002.mcr).

Use L+R+ up/down to tweak the CPU timing.

I think L2 and R2 aren’t working at the moment too.

Attached the zip file.

–A.C.

Although we cannot give out the ISO’s for the PS1, we can give out a link to the PS1 BIOS file, which is required to run this emulator. You can download it here.

Download PS1P Alpha 1 here.

Could it be poseible to add usbhost/nethost on the next relese so we could load isos off a pc hdd insted of mem stick

That would kinda defeat the purpose of putting an PSone EMU on your PSP when there is so many good ones available for PC.

0mgz0rz, now i can play gran turismo 4 and ff12 on my psp. sweetz0rz! btw, i downgraded from 3.01 just for this.

 
Comment by DAY.WALKIN
2006-11-25 23:40:47

all you guys are noobs
1st you only need a ps3 for the offical emulator relesed by sony on 3.00/3.01 not this one

2nd 12. stfu you twa*

3rd no you can not use this on 3.00 because there is no possible way to load homebrews on 3.00/3.01 YET

4th the reason we cant use homebrews on 3.00/3.01
is that sony forces you to upgrade for better features
on the psp system e.g remote play,offical ps1 emu ect.
(which obligates there terms and conditions) and we should not be forced to upgrade to play newer games on the psp

 
Comment by DAY.WALKIN
2006-11-25 23:42:25

NOTE. i think it obligates there terms of conditions not sure i must check this if wrong then ignore my 4th reason

2006-11-25 23:58:15

Okay, even after putting the scph1001.bin file and Ehrgeiz.sio in the folder specified, it didn’t like Ehrgeiz as playable when I ran it. I ran it on 1.5. Gonna try on DH emulated 2.70.

 
Comment by Ko
2006-11-26 00:04:19

Nope, won’t run on DH 2.70 - got the Corrupted Data shindig. And is the memory card files supposed to be save in the same folder as the img and bios?

2006-11-26 05:07:23

I have loaded crashbanicoot and it freezes when u try to enter a level. it seems to run really slow so its not really playable. all u people out there it should load with 1.5 or 2.71se-b which is what i used. make sure u put the ps1 bios file in the folder.

 
Comment by rom dude
2006-11-26 05:08:56

ps remeber if there are two files to put in the game folder one of which with a % sign then it will need to load with 1.5 or the custom firware kk.

Comment by irishdoody
2006-11-26 06:41:43

Hey, this is a serious question - is there any way to run the image files from my computer and thus onto my PSP (i.e. play the games remotely)? I know it isn’t the point of this, but my memory card is small, and I’m not paying out for a bigger one until I can really be assured of the benefits, and, of course, a good PS1 emulator would convince me.

^Doody.

 
Comment by kreor
2006-11-26 07:05:48

Thanks for the update!! Just be careful about posting the PS1 bios, since Sony tends to go after people who give that away. I had to search forever to find it for my psx computer emulator :P

Tried to play Chrono Cross no 0.995 eLoader with 2.60 (using Tiff explot). It loads ok and initial screen works (although very slow), but I could not start actual game. Hopefully the speed stability will increase with later version :)

I only tried Crash Bandicoot because it was the smallest file I had sitting around. Didn’t run GREAT, but this looks very promising.
And lol @ all the people who think 3.01 is downgradable.
P.S. I’m here all the time, I just rarely post. I’m just in a posting mood today.

Nice emu btw, this should get the community buzzing around PSOne emu, can’t wait to see future versions, im VERY impressed with the FF7 support so far, this is obviusly one of the big guns to get working, though cramming all three discs on a stick will be fun, lol..
