Snes9xTYL 0.4.2 ME for the PSP Slim!
greg | October 18, 2007
I read a couple days back that Chilly Willy was working on a ME enabled version of YoyoFR’s SNES emulator for the Slim.
And now, Chilly Willy, along side CaptShoe, have released a MediaEngine supported version of Snes9xTYL. Enjoy Super Nintendo emulation at its finest! It of course works on fat PSPs too.

One major limitation is noted…
…you cannot change the speed. It’s hard coded for 333 MHz. This is because you cannot change the CPU speed while the MediaEngine is running or the Slim hangs. In a related issue, sleep mode has been disabled since sleep would have done nothing at all. As such, this will drain your battery rapidly. Once I figure out how to change the speed after the ME has been initialized, I can change this aspect pretty easily. For now, full speed, and pressing the power button does nothing.

nice…saw this at dl.qj.net earlier today…was only a matter of time…
thanks snes !! is fukin great…
RAWR!
yeah, luvin it, but alway when i quit it my psp f***s off
whats the diff between the ME and normal Snes Version?
Difference is one uses the Media Engine (ME) while the other dosent
I wonder that myself… my slim already could play snes since day 2.
speed improvement???
The difference is that some of the sound processing is executed on the mediaengine (me) which is just another MIPS processor available on the PSP. So yes, there is a noticeable speed improvement.
chickendicer: Try disable some plugins. If you have CFE, start with that. (It’s in the README)
I have tried it playing killer instinct. yes there is a LITTLE bit speed improvement. Is there any configuration for this to improve the speed or the game is the problem?
The games to test this ’speed improvement’ with is the Donkey Kong Country Series….especially number 3. At some points in the mine shafts it can lag a great deal with the special lighting effects.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors OMFGWTFBBQ!!?11?!!?one!?1questionmark!1??!!?
Does this work on OFW 3.71? or do i STILL need pandora?
You need to have custom firmware installed :)
still lag on the fat psp ?
i dont get this release ,i have been using the (ME) version of snesTLY for about 6 months as there are two versions for download (ME) and non (ME)
so what is this release all about ? yes i can see that it has been ported to slim psp so why has it been stated that its a new release and would be faster ?
Tom: A bit off topic, but you can speed up Donkey Kong by disabling “Pallete Updates” from the Hacks menu. It will probably take away from the lighting effects, as you say.
Se7en30: yup, works on 3.71.
paddy: The non-ME version does everything on one CPU. The ME version moves some of sound processing onto the Mediaengine. So far, you were only able to run the ME version on 1.5 kernel based CFW. This release gets around this limitation. That’s all. If you have a 1.5 CFW then you’ll be just fine running the standard ME version that’s been out already.
the zip file wont extract
I need to run Breath Of Fire 2 on my fat psp but the battles lag a bit :( dang.
I have psp slim CFW 3.60 M33 and it doesn’t work, am i doing something wrong ?? adn can the psps slim have 3.71 M33-2 installed ??
Thanks a lot for the help !!!
YEs my slim has m33 3.71-2 and this snes emu works good on it.
Just a couple things I wanted to note… according to CWcheat, the program does not start in 333/166 but 222/111 (for me at least) and I can manually adjust the CPU clock speed from it without causing any crashing (and yes it does makes a difference. 40fps in CT to 60)
yeah when I turn on CWcheat it says 222/111 but I turn it up to 333/166 and then it runs fine might be cause I had a previous version config file but as long as the speed is at the highest then people shouldn’t have any problems with dk country wish I knew more about the psp programming maybe I could understand this more lol
iv tryed this on my fat psp and my friends and still im not getting my donkey kong country to run, it runs really slow and it done this b4 with the older emulators the second dk runs better but this emulator doesnt do much for me coz i wana play my donkey kong country and mario
if anyone knows how to fix this probs with donkey kong spped please help thnx in advance
