Hi everyone,

I've recently finished working on a new fMSX port for the PlayStation portable. I'd be curious to know what you think

Thanks

I think it's a great initiative! I already saw a previous version running on a PSP some time ago, and it looked really cool. I can't wait till I get my own PSP so I can properly try this myself! So keep at it, I'm looking forward to playing SD-Snatcher on the train!

I'm testing it on my PSP (FW 3.40 OE-A) and it's very nice surely a lot of times better than the other fMSX port by zx81...
IMHO the only two thing that are really missing from this emulator are:

1) The support for compressed files, since disk space is so limited and precious on a 1Gb memory stick

2) The ability of swapping the behaviour of the keys O and X in the menu, as european and north-american PSP owners are used to press button X to confirm and button O to cancel, while japanese PSP owners are used to press button O to confirm and button X to cancel (they are inverted).

Keep up the good work!

How about porting something else than fMSX next time?

Indeed... Port BlueMSX

Good idea! Or openMSX, of course

I think it would be quite easy to replace the fMSX emu core with blueMSXlite or blueMSXmini. The interface is quite similar and no dependencies on SDL or other libraries.

Hi everyone. Could you please help me with fMSX for PSP and Snatcher. The problem is that the game is on 3 discs and during the game you have to switch the discs, which is very uncomfortable. Is there a way to, somehow, install the game to a virtual hard drive or something, because there is such option in the game menu. But I just can't do it myself because lack of MSX knowledge. Could someone write an instruction about it?
PS Sorry for my bad english...

This only works if the emulator supports harddisk devices. For now only openMSX and blueMSX do so. If you have that going, use the START.COM program, e.g.. MOre info is on the http://faq.msxnet.org

Does that mean that currently there is no way to play hard-disk version of Snatcher on PSP? Anyway, it is imposible to play it anyway because of controls. There is no way to play shooting missions due to lack of 1-9 numpad buttons.
