HEY!!!! YOU FORGOT THE CURSOR!!!!! Please just put it in and we’ll be happy!!!!
ADD IT IN YOURSELF!!! damn…its not that hard…
HOW???
BUT how??…..
Cursor? Wait, what the hell?
Anyways, nice work there. I didn’t expect to see a working DS emulator on the PSP’s very limited hardware.
I didn’t expect to see a working PSP emulator on the DS’s very limited hardware.
POOOONED!!!!!!!!!
DOMINATED!
Yaaaaaaay!
I dl’d this and installed it properly on the psp, put the DSONPSP folder in game and then put the NDSROM folder inside the DSONPSP one, but when I try to load it goes to the config or w/e asking what lang. I want and stuff but then when I press start at that to play the game it goes to a black screen and stays there unless I press a button in which case it goes immediately back to the XMB, any help or ideas on what I could be doing wrong???
Same here, I can’t get this to work, but maybe only a bit of games work on the emulator. Not sure.
my psp crashes =[
try using 1.50 Kernel
I’m using a Phat PSP on 5.00 M33-6 with 1.50 kernel. and it works fine.
quite slow though, but at the rate of these updates, i reakon they will have a full 20fps emulator for the ds in no time
i installed the 1.50 kernel with 5.02 gen a but it seems to not work when i select the game then put the configurations. maybe it only works on some games. what games did you use.
yea i have it on my xmb under games and it loads then gives me list i choose lang(1) and when i press start it just goes back to xmb! wtf? ive tried it in game5.xx, game, get the same results. not working for me and usually i get most things to work but this doesnt! can anybody help me?
it does work, u just need to put the folder that is extracted into your game folder. thats it. BTW, sonic rush loaded but froze
ok i got it to work you hafta put the source code files on root of mem stick and emu files in game under dsonpsp then put ndsrom file in dsonpsp and roms files in ndsroms! wrks good jus needs fps increased! good job yoshihero! cant wait for more realeases! most games wrk! (well ive only tried like 5 or so) but they all wrked!
what about fps? playable?
Cool maybe it still needs some fixes but im going to try it out.
Is there a list of DS games that are compatible?
jus dl and try then put on list and post!
honestly all I really wanna know,
Is Pokemon playable?
I like pokemon :)
ooh! or zelda
btw thanks for the updates!
lol an many people that this was impossibly, my theorys never seem to go down, nxt updates hopefully talkin to dsi, ds for swapping pokemon, etc…
swap your mums pokermon, i aint swapping my pokermon
is this compatible on custom firmware enabler. im running on a PSP 3000
what are the list of the playable games?
is castlevania included??
ANYBODY get this to work? plz help i need to shove it in some nonbelievers faces! HA HA i love my psp! cant wait till this wrks
Ive learned in the last with other emulators when ugetthe black screen to just wait, sometimes all it needs is some time to load the rom. I will try this shortly and hopefully that the problem. Also u must expect as all emulators that not all roms will be playable, that just the way it is with some rom rips.
I am however hoping the pokemon is playable cuz as the person above said that the 1 game i emulate in most of my emulators lol , thank you Yoshihiro for your hard work it is much appreciated.
im commenting from my ds opera browser XD↓↓↓↑↑↑/\\/\/\#\#♪♪♪lol

[Congrats btw if you ever read this :D]
Beta 6 actually loads my roms now.
Okay seriously, Greg, what the fuck is wrong with you and your random DS hate? Jesus. You DO realize that the DS Lite and DSi exist right? So when you emulate that “butt-ugly handheld”, you’re also emulating those two handhelds (maybe not so much the DSi, but you get the drift), both of which look far better than the PSP-1000. But you choose to portray the PSP’s “rival” in such an ugly fashion, when you actually know both of the rehashes look far better. And no, I’m not a fanboy of any kind; fanboyism is freaking stupid. But seriously: WTF? It’s like you’re nothing but a PSP fanboy. And as I said before, fanboyism is retarded; such a closed mind can lead to looking like a stupid retard. Which is probably what I look like right now, but whatever.
Your last sentence hit the nail on the head.
This is a PSP site you curly haired fuck, if you like the DS so much why are you here complaining about it. Its a joke, and btw PSP > DS/DSi cause Sony contents in better graphics and game play, the graphics on the DS are shitty cause Nintendo doesn’t give a flying donkey about graphics they try to think about what will look “Cute” for the little kids out there. The Wii the worst console of the New Gen DS worst handheld console. Sure they have a camera but what are you gonna do with that really, you’ll use it for a couple days then quit. If i were to buy a DS it would be for games like Mario that was the only reason I bought a Wii. I can live without a DS, can’t live without my PSP.
I don’t actually hate or have anything against the DS; it just made for a good post.
It`s called SARCASM. Look it up sometime.
well….that was full of contradictions and hypocrisy…
if he was such a fanboy, why would he bother with ds games on the psp? also, just so u know ppl, il probably never look at this again, so flame on ^_^
Mario Kart DS (E) – White Screen (Unplayable)
ah bull shet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. one game i wanted to actually play.. this emulator is not very friendly.
Advance Wars – Dark Conflict (E) – Incredibly slow with graphical glitches.
BTW these were tested with default settings except language which was set to english or 1
So the psp has such a sad library of games it has to emulate the ds to get some? Just some counter-hate since I’ve only seen 1 post that had it in there. Anyways, glad this is out as I haven’t bothered with the Rom-loader on my DS yet and would like to try some foreign games before importing :) Hopefully this can continue to at least increase compatibility (speed is nice, but if I can just get something loaded up to get a glimpse of how it plays is better).
It has plenty of good games. Emulation just extends the function of the system. I mean the PSP also plays music. Is that to cover for the lack of games? Of course not, it’s just another function of the system.
try reading the rest of the post next time.
“So the psp has such a sad library of games it has to emulate the ds to get some?”
Truly thee most moronic statement I have read/heard thus far not coming from President Obama.
I just wonder if poster “raspberry” would make a similar comment were a PSP emulator created for the DS… Obviously it’s not technically possible, but were it to happen, I’m sure DS users would welcome it with open arms–and certainly they wouldn’t chalk it up to the DS not having any good games.
Hmm, I can’t get anything to work.
I have a PSP 2000 with 5.00 M33-6 and none of the games are working.
I can’t even get Tetris to work!
I transfer the DSONPSP file to my Game Folder (not the DSONPSP Source file). Then Put my .NDS roms in the NDSROM folder. Start the Emulator up, select the language as English, then push Start.
I get Black screen then the PSP crashes.
any help?
I got Yoshi’s Island DS (U) to work, slow but works
Trauma Center – Under the Knife(U) – Loads but don’t know where I’m “clinking” without a mouse pointer.
yoshis island runs at 18-21 fps in the beginning movie/intro whatever it is, and about 12 while actually playing, not too bad for a beta :P
New Super Mario Bros. (U) – Freezes at “NINTENDO” logo
Pokemon Platinum (U) [180MB btw x_x] – Crashes
LOL!!!!
New Super Mario bros. works you retard!!!! it gets to the menu and you can make a new save data and it’s all good!!!
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH OrderZero is a Douche!
Douche, douche, douche, douche, douche!!!!-douche!!!!-douche!!!!
somebody give this guy some anti-sugarkick pills hes hyper active!
Bulky? lol, that’s the DS phat model. And also, the DS is thinner, cleaner, and has a greater amount of good games.
You do realize that DS games and DS lite games are the same?
It works with phoenix wright ^^ but very slow , and the screen overlap with each other on the edges. It is still very good work , many thanks to the team.
i have tested dragon ball z supersonic warriors 2 and it (for me) freezes as soon as it shows the copyright stuff on the right i am using the (u) version if that matters since i heard it runs well and i’ve tested zoo keeper it has an average of 10fps some graphical glitches (blue screens) but thats it
You people are so insecure about psp, that you ewen need to show Nintendo DS Phat foto instead of DS Lite or DSi. Would that overwhelm the psp? :D
you, sir are right. i am so insecure about my psp. thats why i take it everywhere i go. i take it to work, i use it as an mp3 player. when i go to the grocery store i use it as a calculator. lol
i love my it…I use my PSP Slim for everything. I use it for music in my car, internet, I have pictures on it, games, GPS Map This, Camera, and much more lol. I even use it as a calculator when I go to the grocery store sometimes.
And Final Fantasy III, IV and Chrono Trigger, anyone have already tried?
now trying ff3. it seems to be stuck on initializing backup data. dont think it works but i will wait a bit. i try iv next
no cant get ff3 or vi to work. gave them them both 10 min and both got stick on the same bit.
ff3 initializing backup data
ff4 initializing save slot memory
if any1 get past it please let us know thanks
Here’s an idea to getting past the save data problems have you or anyone else tried transfering save’s from a real DS/DS Lite/DSi and put them into the sav folder in this emulator, then the game should in theory start up ok????
And yes i know what people are going to say, that if you have a real DS then why use this emulator, i suppose its just fun mucking about with emulators, seeing how good they are or not as the case maybe, and to try & get as many games working as possible, here another idea for emulator, if the .sav’s work from a real DS on here, then upload them for people who don’t have DS, so they can play the games themselves, a sort of database could be made on this site.
Just an idea
i have a ds and a r4. tryed 2 the .sav from the r4 got past the loading screens. after 5mins and got a black screen and a horrible noise so they work they just need more speed aint playerble without it i want 2 try and find a fix for this. might take me a while cus i aint got a clue wat to do. any help on where i shud start?
ps i know to start with the source code in c++ but i gotta figure out how to speed this up with the psp hardware and that is where i am stuck but i will try
This is so awesome, a next gen handheld, emulating another next-gen handheld, who could ever dream about that. It’s just awesome, very very awesome.
Technically it’s a current-gen handheld ;)
what do you do with the two files where do you put them
DSONPSP B6 kayliah edition Source at the root of your psp and DSONPSP in the games folder
memcard:\DSONPSP B6 kayliah edition Source
memcard:\PSP\GAME\pspDSONPSP B6
and put your roms in here
memcard:\PSP\GAME\DSONPSP\NDSROM
memcard:\PSP\GAME\pspDSONPSP B6 ???
I don’t have the pspDSONPSP B6 folder….
Sorry for being such an idiot but I really don’t understand how to get this to work.
This is what I’ve managed to do so far:
1-memcard:\DSONPSP B6 kayliah edition Source
2-memcard:\PSP\GAME\DSONPSP\NDSROM
I need some help please, thanks.
memcard:\PSP\GAME put the pspDSONPSP B6 in here
memcard:\ this is the root of your mem stick and this is where you put DSONPSP B6 kayliah
when you have done this you put nds roms in here
memcard:\PSP\GAME\DSONPSP\NDSROM
i hope this helps everyone and Pectosan you have done it correct all you have to do is put ds roms (and if you have any .sav) in here
memcard:\PSP\GAME\DSONPSP\NDSROM
If Nintendo DS is that ugly then why are you emulating it?
just cause its but ugly and hard to play some of the games with the stylus doesnt mean we dont like some of the crap nintendo puts out and this is a psp site so naturaly they will diss other systems if anything just for shits and giggles
true so DS fanboys shuld go to nes-hacks.com btw are DS fanboys that dumb to just come here and not expect some laughs of other systems? like nes hacks probably has some psp dissing so what do they cry around here?
first i’m not a DS fanboy you sony fanboy, 2nd i only posted that because people keep saying that ds is crap without even trying it.
*sigh* do you get a crap about anything? and who said im a sony fanboy i like the ds but man do i hate fanboys, and you are cuz you dont get it that its just for the laughs and what do you expect here some ds tributes <<
Cuz you`re too dumb to get the joke thats why, DS fanboy.
Some people saying that ds is crap are a fools. Please stop it! Every consoles and portables are awesome, ok ? Thank you!
even the atari was awesome :P lol
you my friend must have never played on the power glove. awesome concept, horrible gaming.
just tried yoshi s island as well and it runs really slow .
This emulator is still at its infantry. More works are needed…update coming soon
Wow, you really think your gonna get someone with your name being Dark Alex.. Then you just randomly say update coming soon, real Dark Alex would make a big announcement on his wiki or on his site under the rotating PSP
Thanks for the emulator and the source…my friend will try to do something useful with it..
Merci ^^
Updates coming soon!
Dude ur not Dark_alex
What are some games that actually work with this?
i guess 2d games may work okay…
if ds fan r mad then why not release their own psp emulator in ds
lol.. XD
Impossible since the hardware of the psp is superior to the ds.
Guys guys guys. Every system has its ups and downs
dont be queer little fanboys and say this is better than that because really, they aren’t
DS is more fun with little games and mini games and such has good games
PSP is a pure media system with good games as well and graphics to match
DS: No media capabilities or such
PSP: idk xD PSP rules. There is gotta be something bad about it im tired to think of one ;)
So guys, i wouldn’t a DS right now ( i would probably sell it anyways) so shut up and if you gotta say something about a system or anything else, think first
the update to my wiki page is coming soon along with 5.55m33 stay tuned it should be released within a week
Are you gonna add any new options to recovery menu? ++I can’t wait!!!++
wah-ow, Dark_Alex, is this true?
“the update to my wiki page is coming soon along with 5.55m33 stay tuned it should be released within a week”
Fail @ impersonating. The ‘a’ wasn`t even capitalized.
fail at using the word fail. fail at going along with it.
Lol hillarious
Fail @ shut up.
lol in a week my a$$ Dark_Alex said himself it wasn’t worth making a custom firmware for added folders and 5.55 is nothing but added support for a few games which can be played with the other custom firmwares like the team mx 5.55 beta and you can patch the games to run on 5.00 m33-6 just simple hex editing
The “Team MX” cfw was fake…
The DS is shit, like i’ve never seen a poor handheld like it ever!!!!!!! Ok the DS might have alot of games but it’s got nothing on the PSP, PSP will leave it for dead. I got the DSonPSP BETA 6 to work CFW 5.50 mhu it won’t load GTA chinatown wars yet, btw do you remember the very 1st GTA that was made for PC-it sort of looks like that in a way. I only want some roms to work so my kids can play them
I like what is say’s at the top “Emulate this bulky, butt-ugly hand-held:” Ahhhhahahahhahahahahha
“This emulator is still at its infantry.”
Infantry? CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!
‘infancy’
does anybody know if this works with PSZ? phantasy star zero? dont know why i typed it 2x, but sometimes my backspace gets stuck, blah watever. lemme know if you guyys get psz to work, thx :)
I tested 2 games (Devil survivor & TWEWY) but both them didn’t work. After lauching, black screen & some words flashing.
pokemon diamond or pearl playable????
if so how many fps?
useless if is realli slow… but good j0b brudda!!!
I’d like to try this, but I think I’ll wail till later releases, as it sounds like not much is playable. Maybe it’ll work when Dark_alex releases 5.55m33
