YoYo Asked For It!!

[yamabigdog]

Hi just wanted to start a list of games and their status.

I got my ingame saves from the old vers of emulator by copying PROFILES,SAVES to new emu folder.
1.Using old vers of emu ,Go in game with ingame(built-in SNES)savegame.
2.Save State using emu's save/loadstate.
3.Copy then copy PROFILES,SAVES to new emu.

Still no real way to import InGame SNES Saves, then have em actually save and show back up.
Crude but it works. Hope this helped out someone.

Awesome Job to everyone who put their time, and effort into this new update. Can't say enough good things about it. If the save swap from last vers worked it would be perfect, but its not a perfect world. Thanks again guys you all deserve a pat on the back! And a BEER!

Also I am running FirmWare 2.0, with Fanjita's EbootLoader 085.

[thingy]

What is Sound Fix for in the debug menu?

[corona]

Very nice list, thanks for your work, I'll be sure to contribute some info myself.

[yamabigdog]

After a few more days of testing .2c and .3 compared to each other, I am actually starting to find the older 0.2c version better all around. While the .3 does boast some higher FPS, the actual smoothness of gameplay is better on .2c. I don't know what this is attributed to, not much of new version makes logical sense, like games running better 44Khz, yet worse set lower, the EBOOT file isactually smaller(did YoYo remove some code??), and the SNES saves as well as save states are all screwy.

Take into consideration I am using 2.0 with Fanjitas loader.
Will post more as i test it some more.

[prettzv]

I agree Yama, the 2.0 version is slower overall compared to .2c, but i will tell yeah...
The 1.0 and 1.5 are OMFG KICKASS. Like a dream in my hand, they are running so fast. I am very pleased with the direction Kernel mode is taking us. (User mode is really only at a tweaking point now).

[mstrhelix]

yeah with 2.0 tifexploit we are only allowed i think 18mb to use in ram so ya gotta think, tifxploit, eboot loader, snes emulator, rom, etc etc etc no telling how much better it will be able to get or how much memory we have left to optimize.

[disturbed19]

in my opinion, if your crazy over homebrew and apps, u should think about downgradin, then u'll have incredible speeds in snesTYL 0.3ME and u'll be able to do much more then 2.0.

[mstrhelix]

I would d-grade but i'm scared of a brick-o-matic and i would miss being able to play 2.0-2.5 firmware PSP games.

having tried both.i have to say the diff. between 1.5 & 2.0 is like night and day

i just downgraded about 2days ago and it was very easy,very straight foward,i just followed the instruction

i used MPHdowngrader mphwebsite.tuxfamily.org/

[zshadow]

Honestly.. I see no reason to upgrade. TYL is one of the big reasons (0.3me is AMAZING), but also other apps like PMP player which allow me to play divx or xvid video on the PSP.

Most of the PSP games out currently aren't that great (GTA is over-rated IMO). The Megman X remake I would say is good, doesn't warrant updating though, and its only a matter of time before we are running 2.x games on 1.5 with the current firmware emulators being improved and whatnot.

[yamabigdog]

I upgraded to 2.0 for many reasons, not just one app, or one game. If people would quit being scared of the higher versions, and just get to work, we'd be enjoying best of both worlds. I know it's easier said than done, but one of these persistent hackers, who've bricked a couple PSP's will crack that $h!7 wide open! Other than that I'm thinkin of gettin another PSP and downgrade mine back to 1.5. I'd hate to lose my Jessica Alba calendar, then I wouldn't know what day it was!

[prettzv]

My homebrew PSP isn't even like a psp anymore. For all I know, the laser in the UMD reader may not even work anymore. I haven't put a disc into since I first got RIN on my system. Having 2 psp's is the best way to go. IMHO!!!

[sephiroth]

hallo we are going way of topic

[skeldwar]

I noticed with Fast Sprites ON it causes a lot of games to display layers incorrectly. Like the main character will be behind another sprite or object when it should be displayed in front. Does anyone else notice this and does it make that much of a speed difference with it on rather than off?
