This is an update version of VICE PSP, an emulator for C64 originally by Akop Karapetyan.

It updates to Vice 3.2 instead of 2.3, with the possibility to run EasyFlash crt games (Sam's journey, Prince of Persia, ...), sd2iec d81 games (turrican3.d81), etc.

Installation

Unzip vice.zip into /PSP/GAME/ folder on the memory stick.

User guide

Virtual keyboard

Keyboard mappings can be modified for each game.

Button configuration changes are automatically retained after a mapping is modified.

To set a mapping as the default mapping, press Square.

Tape and Disk Image Loading, Autoloading

Anytime you attempt to load a game from the Game tab, VICE PSP will reset the system; this is intended to make most games easily loadable.

To load tapes/disks without resetting the system, go to the System tab, select the Tape or Drive 8 menu option (depending on whether you want to load a tape or disk image), then press Cross to load another image. If a tape or disk image is already loaded, it will be ejected, and another one will be loaded in its place. To eject a loaded image, select an option, and Triangle.

To autoload a program (load a program from a mounted image directly), first load the image, then go to the System tab, highlight the Tape or Drive 8 menu option, and Right. Select a program from the list, and press Cross to autoload it. Note that autoloading will reset the system.

Save State Autoloading

VICE PSP can be configured to automatically load a saved game whenever a new game is loaded via the Game tab.

To do this, specify one of the save state slots as the Autoload slot (Options tab).

If a saved game exists in the specified slot, it will be automatically loaded.

Compatibility

Tested on PS vita with Adrenaline.

This version does not work on PSP 1000, Vice requires more memory now.

Known issues

Counter will sometimes report frames-per-second information incorrectly - this has to do with the sound rendering routine, which is shaky at the moment. Exiting to the emulator menu and returning will usually correct this.

When frame skipping is in effect, sound may “crackle”. This is also, most likely, a result of the above bug.

Changelog

v3.2.3 2019/01/02

  • Updated to Vice 3.2 (support for EasyFlash3 crt games, sd2iec games, ...).
  • Updated attached images on System tab.
  • Bug fixes.
