PSPadrive is a highly customised port of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive emulator Genesis Plus to the PSP. The eventual goal is full 60fps emulation by rewriting parts of the emulator in assembler.
It was entered into the Neo Spring Coding Compo 2006 (PSP Applications).
Features
- Support for Genesis/Megadrive, high compatiblity.
- ZIP supported.
- Correct ratio'd graphics, hardware accelerated renderer.
- Some asm code to speed things up.
- Built in game select screen.
Installation
For 1.0 firmware:
Copy the contents of the 1.0 folder to your PSP's Memory Stick. This should give you a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive/ folder on your Memory Stick.
Then put your Megadrive and Genesis roms to your Memory Stick.
pspadrive has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere (preferably in the /GAME/PSP/pspadrive/roms/ folder).
Your roms can either be in SMD/BIN/MD/ZIP format (ZIP is recommended as it takes less space).
For 1.5 firmware:
Copy the contents of the 1.0 folder to your PSP's Memory Stick. This should give you a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive/ folder and a /PSP/GAME/pspadrive%/ folder on your Memory Stick.
Then put your Megadrive and Genesis roms to your Memory Stick.
pspadrive has a file browser so you can copy the roms anywhere (preferably in the /GAME/PSP/pspadrive/roms/ folder).
