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.

Nice work!
holy cow, nice job!
so what was psx-p? is this better than psx-p? coz that one was sloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww…
Whats the frame rates on FFVII? (Don’t have any PSX games at my house right now other wise I’d check.)
doesn’t really care what you think about this psp emulator, but teh barbie games better run at full speed
socks…. barbie runs great
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.
Great news , have been waiting this for ages
SWEET! this is great! sony gets owned again! XD
Ehrgeiz on the go? Oh yes very much please.
hey..stop doing this stuff. We’re losing allot of money..all of you people here need to go out and buy ps3’s.
so does this mean we have to have a ps3 with this “hack” version of ps1p alpha 1 for us to be able to play psx games?
Oh hell yah!! Keep it up guys!!
someone please tell me ff7 8 and tactics work
So does it work on FW 3.01???
Can someone pleez tell me how to git this thing started??
how the hell do you set this up? the read me is unclear? can anyone make an easy package
just tried FF8. Did not load
checking ehrgeiz now
DOES THIS RUN ON VERSION 2.8
0mgz0rz, now i can play gran turismo 4 and ff12 on my psp. sweetz0rz! btw, i downgraded from 3.01 just for this.
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
NOTE. i think it obligates there terms of conditions not sure i must check this if wrong then ignore my 4th reason
does this work on version 2.71
so is it better than psx-p?
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.
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?
Discworld & Discworld 2 work no sound though
I UPGRADED TO 3.01 BECAUSE SONY TOLD ME TO DOES THIS WORK ON 3.01
P.S. Been waiting on this for awhile. Can’t wait to try out Blood Omen and MGS.
29. you made a big mistake…3.01 will never be able to run this
any chance sum1 cud post a memory card file with ff7 on it
got the game but can’t get any ps1 emulators to work
p*ssing me off
question..im able to boot up with HenC 1.5 emultaor but always stuck at the loading screen..in the beginning
Fingers crossed this works! im about to try out vagrant story on this emulator and then suikoden! Can anyone tell us how you can convert your own playstation games into iso format coz i own some that i would like to see on my PSP.
i think suikoden works, vagrant story does not
theres a compatibility list on the web
the address is in the read me file.
how do i convert cd to iso to work on this thing? i have many games on ps1 i want to play
i use alcohol 120. it’s an image maker. There are
other programs tho.
Just got wild arms working
Very Slow though
great work
yes vagrant story got stuck at “now loading” thats a shame! about to try suikoden then azure dreams.
cool, it actually works. now i can say IT’S RIDGE RACER! RIIIIDGE RACER! (cause I just tried it, and it goes like 5fps, the loading screen was fun though… at 15fps)
AHHH NO SOUND :(
So, has anyone tried Final Fantasy Tactics on this thing? If it works, i’ll have it on my PSP that for sure.
tactics don’t work
THIS DOESN’T WORK ON 2.81 AND ABOVE. TOO FRICKEN BAD IF YOU UPDATED AND TEST YOUR OWN GAMES OUT AND POST LIKE YOU WANT. sorry, but this just gets annoying when people just spam
Does anyone have the japanese PSX bios? I dont like american games.
WOOOOOOO IT works on 2.8 thanks
OMG I’M PLAYING EINHANDER :SPLURT?:
ridge racer works but very slow/ and no sound
im about to try out streetfighter 2 ex toi see if it works
http://www.emuparadise.org/roms/psxr/
this are ps1 demos some work
nice work guys! thank you! I still can’t download PS1 games! can’t find any!
isnt the ps1 bios also illegal?
#12, lost of people would like to buy a PS3, but there’s a problem: THEY’RE SOLD OUT, you n00b
McGen, are you stupid… Read the notice at the top… ” No yay 1st posts ” please keep that in mind… Well done on the ps1 alpha, I will be trying this when i get my PSP repaired, Sorry i havent been posting new files lately guys, I have been busy with college etc.
Just testing it on one of my ps1 games :D
In next release can we have cso loading tho. my bin image of ps1 game is bigger than some of my psp games
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.
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.
@53: I just had some problem, it was really slow at title screen, and crashed when I tried to load elvel :(
this works with the noobz .995 eLoader kriek on 2.71
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.
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
hey noobzorz tell me how i can downgrade 3.01 firmware? if anybody knows this please help me!!! i ve done a big mistake and upgraded my psp!!! sony never think about us
man i really need a psp
HAHA!!!! WTF r u doin browsing this site if u don’t have a PSP???!!? I am gonna try Syphon Filter! I crossed my fingers sooooo much I nearly broke em lol!
no way to downgrade a 3.01 firmware machine mate
not right now anyway
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 have been waiting for this… I wanna try out the “Resident Evil” series soooo f’n bad! THANKS. I knew this day would come.. so I have been hoarding ps1 games for the last month or so lol…. looking for games… try bittorrent. my fav site: http://www.isohunt.com
for people that never used it before… google and dl this bittorrent client “Azureus”
does metal gear work?
OH MY F*CKING GOD STOP ASKING IF THIS WORKS ON 3.00/3.01
THE ANSWER IS NO, YOU GUYS SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY THERE ISENT A WAY TO LOAD HOMEBREWS ON 2.80 TO 3.01 YET
SHEEEEESHH
i typed in caps because im furious with the n00bs that ask this
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.
did anyone notice it dont have sound… buh it does run faster than that other one
gay i have to send my 2.71 se-b psp back to sony (obviously changin the firmware to 3.00 first so sony dont see im usin custom firmware) because the analog stick is faulty and its really annoyin they are sendin me a new one on tuesday does anyone know what firmware my new psp is likely to come on and if it will be a ta-082 they said it will have been a refurbished psp so it will have been used before i just hope i can use this great emulator.
just put the .iso, .bios and the .mcr into the folder ??
or do i have to use any psx emulator working on my pc ???
@70 why not fix the stick yourself? there are tutorials on forum and you can buy replacement sticks.
because the stick controls itself i have tried to fix it but it just wont work it keeps hammering left and down continously when i play a game and it is reallt tedious
nice work. Great stuff. #70 ha-ha.
#66 needs a fucking traq dart in his throat so he can calm down a bit. That’ll knock ‘em down a few pegs.
Back on topic: this is an awesome step forward.
FUCK 3.01
Wut firmware yu need for this?
1.5?
i got 3.1 :S
#74, 100% right
you could have 15 to 2.71
could tweaking up the cpu timing damage the psp??
oh you can use e-loader on 2.8
Yea ikno.. i had e LOader…
but then i got vice city stories and i needed to upgrade to 2.81
and now i have 3.1
So where do I place the roms?
got FF7 running, graphics looks great, slow as shit though. what’s the best CPU speed to use?
“OH MY F*CKING GOD STOP ASKING IF THIS WORKS ON 3.00/3.01″
“SHEEEEESHH”
Yep, you nailed that right there, well said.
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..
AND ALL YOU 3.00+ USERS ARE TW#TS!!!!!!! REAL BIG FLOPPY F##KING T#ATS!!! Lol………
Woho, it’s working on 2.8!:D
its crap…. its only a tiny bit faster than psx-p alpha 2. but its like the characters are tiny… or are more further away….. the first psx-p was better… the 2nd.. faster but crapper. and this is the worst…. i wonder if other games r like this?
Where do you put the isos????????????
thanks
WHat Cpu % is best for FF 6???
great job
DONT USE ISO’S!
They RARELY work. Use BIN format instead!
I was really looking foward to playing Thrill Kill. I guess it don’t work b/c it was never released to the public. My PS1 is $*@$ed up b/c i was trying to be nice and loaned it out…my mistake and now i can’t play games on it so I guess i’ll never be able to play Thrill Kill again :(
#87 in the “non % foler” put the bios and iso there when load pick a game press o
works great
I tested over 10 games last night. This emu is slow, none of them were fast enough to be playable. Maybe the next version.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WORKS 2.8 AND DOES THIS NEED LIKE A BIOS OR SOMTHING
EVERYTHING COMES UP BUT WHEN I CLICK THE GAME I WANT TO LOAD IT GOES BLACK AND NOTHING HAPPENS AM I DOING ANYTHING WRONG CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.
