MAME on PSP

[Robert]

I've obtained a version of xmame that's been modified to work on the PSP. Well, that was the idea... the author used PSPE to do the dev work, and in fact it doesn't work on the PSP at all! It does work on PSPE though. It runs only one game, Omega Fighter (omegaf.zip). Since this is version 0.0, I'm sure the author will get it working on a real PSP (with bios 1.0) soon. I worked out what keys are used and here is the list:

 

F2 - Insert coin

F1 - Start game

left arrow then right arrow - answers the OK request

D - fire

arrows to move.

I added the 19th comment (the one explaining the keys).

A newer version, 0.11 has been released.

 

The readme mentions vanguard, darius, omega fighter and nova2001. I was able to get these working on pspe by hex modifying the xtinyrc.txt file. Darius is so wide that only half of it fits on the screen. The format of the xtinyrc.txt file is

"defaultgame "(name of zipfile)

0x0a

"frameskip 3"

0x0a

 

example:

defaultgame omegaf

0x0a

frameskip 3

0x0a

 

If someone knows a better way of rom selection, tell me!

 

 

 

EDIT: This version works on the PSP with Bios 1.00

Someone else has released a very modified mame 0.71 for the PSP. The menu displays 7 games. Unfortunately only one of them works, "Mr Do!", the rest stopping at test screens or nothing.

 

It works in PSPE. The keys in the rom selector are the standard ones: arrow up and down to choose, D to select.

 

The keys in Mr Do are:

F1 - Start game

LShift - config menu

RShift - pause

S = esc

W = fire

arrow keys = move
