PSP2600 is an Atari 2600 game console emulator for PSP, which is a port of Stella v2.2 (Atari 2600 emulator that runs on multiple systems).

This port is based on the work of David Voswinkel, who was the first to port Stella to PSP.

Installation

Copy the content of the directory to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

Put your roms files on roms sub-directory.

User guide

Load Rom files (ZIP, A26, BIN)

Put your rom file (with .zip, .bin or .a26 file extension) on your PSP Memory Stick in the roms directory, and go to Load ROM from the emulator main menu.

You can use the virtual keyboard in the file requester menu to choose the first letter of the game you search (if you have tons of games in the same folder). Use the Run key of the virtual keyboard to launch the rom.

Cheat Code (CHT)

You can use/add your own cheat codes in the cheat.txt file and then import them in the Cheat menu.

Using the Cheat menu you can search for modified bytes in RAM between current time and the last time you saved the RAM (monitoring values for example life numbers).

All cheat codes you have specified for a game can be save in a CHT file inside cht folder. For example,

# Enable, Address, Value, Comment
#
1,36f,3,Cheat comment

Those cheat codes would then be automatically loaded when you start the game.

Settings

  • Sound enable.
  • Active Joystick.
  • Paddle enable.
  • Paddle speed.
  • Speed limiter.
  • Skip frame.
  • Display fps.
  • Render mode.
  • Delta Y.
  • Vsync.
  • Flicker mode.
  • Swap Analog/Cursor.
  • Auto fire period.
  • Auto fire mode.
  • Display LR led.
  • Clock frequency.

Flicker mode:

On several games such as Asteroids or Missile Command, the screen flicks/the color are dark. You can use the anti-flicker mode in the Settings menu.

Key mappings

You can toggle between 3 different mappings in the emulator window (Standard, L-Trigger and R-Trigger mappings).

Not all games however can be played with the default keyboard mappings, you can write your own mapping file (KBD) to overcome the issue (follow the syntax from the sample files default.kbd in the kbd directory).

You can save/load and edit your own KBD files in Keyboard menu; and if the keyboard filename is the same as the rom file (A26) then when you load this rom file, the corresponding keyboard file will be automatically loaded.

The Save option save the KBD file in the kbd directory using the Game Name as filename. The game name is displayed on the right corner in the emulator menu.

Virtual keyboards

You can use the Danzeff On-Screen Keyboard (by Danzel and Jeff Chen) and IR keyboard for entering letters, special characters and digits.

Edit the pspirkeyb.ini file to specify your IR keyboard model, and modify eventually layout keyboard files in the keymap directory.
