This is one of the most important applications for PSP owners which have a firmware greater than 1.5. Fanjita and Ditlew have updated”eLoader”which allows you to load most eboots even on systems which can’t play homebrews that easily. eLoader requires the game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories as it is using an exploit in this game to execute code. A compatibility list can be foundhere.http://dl.qj.net/…
This is a straight port of VisualBoyAdvance SDL. It isn’t isn’t very fast and there is no sound. You can tweak frame skipping and other settings in VisualBoyAdvance.cfg. Changes:
The Emulator has been recompiled and now games like Egg Mania work up to 50% of real Speed, theres also a MHZ selector to get better performance by raising the CPU (be careful), this also supports GameBoy Mono and Colour Roms.
