PSP2600 v1.0.1: An Atari 2600 Emulator!

greg | January 20, 2007

You have seen the Atari 7800 port, now the one you’ve been waiting for — classic Atari 2600 on the PSP!

Maybe you’ve heard of the man responsible… ZX-81? Oooh, of course you have… Well today he has successfully ported Bradford Mott’s “Stella” v2.2 to the PSP. Stella is the best Atari 2600 emulator running on various platforms — Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, etc…

Once again excellent work. Many of these youngsters can’t appreciate youre work, but growing up with the 2600 myself, this port brings back great memories. Keep up the great work.

This is awesome!! Just this wk I was trying the Stella version.

My cons on that:

“lenghy installation process”
very buggy
and most roms didnt work. Hopefully this is better then stellas and has more game compatability!

Now I know how I’ll be spending my half-hr lunch breaks at work(cough pac-man cough)

Man, this brings back a lot of memories of the good old crappy games. The Atari games weren’t good at all! It’s the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) that made games great!

Roms work Great!! Only issue is Super Breakout. Paddles do not move w/analog and d-pad. Other roms – pitfall, yars revenge, combat, circus atari, E.T.- all work great!! Didnt even know mario bros was on atari… Excellent emulator!!

E.T. is the best game ever for Atari 2600. A close second is Combat…. I know everyone knows Combat…. I was just kidding about E.T. being great hehehehe….

Hey Zx, I’m the guy who had that buddy that made a rude comment on your site way back and you had me banned for a day or two, then we talked and you were pretty cool and unbanned me. I’m sure you remember. I change my sn a lot, so I figured I’d mention it.

Anyway, this is really a fantastic accomplishment. I have never gotten Stella to work, and it is so smooth on this. I’d really love to see you make such a cool version of the MAME emu sometime. That thing is always kind of buggy and the options are limited, like with screen size and game saves. Most of the games dont seem to load either. You would probably make that thing rock with a bit of your tweaking.

Anyway, back to Stella. This is great. THANK YOU!

for the first time ever, I’m able to play a rare game called “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. It turns out its not that great of a game, but thats not the point. The point is, I’m about to load up the classics like Yars Revenge and Pitfall, and that is definitely the shit.

You are the man!

i found the first official glitch (known to me at least) if you’re interested.

Raiders of the Lost Ark gets stuck at the intro screen. Indy lowers down on the glowing Ark to begin the game then at the bottom he just stays there no matter what button is pushed (not counting the reset button), and the music keeps going.

Okay …. but there was already a PSP STELLA emulator released about a year ago that was perfect … I don’t understand why this is really noteworthy?

Comment by everyone

that thing never worked on my PSP, maybe its specific to a certain earlier model of PSP. Zx’s thing works great on tnisl

The initial release of the original PSP Stella was buggy, but there was a revision that runs absolutely perfectly on 1.5 as well as 3.03 OE B. I simply don’t see a need to “fix something that isn’t broken”.

ZX- can u, or anyone verify, that/if the emulator freezes if u have lots of roms loaded to the roms folder. I can only play the default one which is pitfall. As soon as I hit the “load rom”button, it freezes and i have to x-it via the home button.

Comment by zx-81
2007-01-22 06:52:47

@Oh Yes… :

This bug has been already reported, when you have too many roms in the roms folder, the emulator freeze. The workaround is to split your roms in separate subfolders (such a-k, l-s, t-z for example).

About the home button, it works only when you’re in the emulator menu …

Now I wanna try to start dev0.46, but when I’m startin it there’s no umd-mount in the menu is that normal? and the flash rom is settled to “backup config.”, is that right too? Well this is the first time that I use devhook!

Hi guys, bad news – - -

I cannot get it to work with FW 2.0 using a newly-formatted memory stick and eloader 0.99 or 0.995. I don’t even get any startup screen; as soon as the TIFF exploit happens, it just goes blank and shuts down. Can anyone help?

P.S. I don’t wanna downgrade.

P.P.S. 2600 games on the PSP is so awesome that, if I absolutely have to downgrade, I will (what’s the easiest, safest way?)

Unbelievable to see the lack of gratitude by so many. ZX-81 – great work. Ignore all those who bash and bad mouth other peoples work. They dont and never will get it.
—Playing Adventure all over again. I still remember the blue maze by heart like Ive played it yesterday…
