No, PS-VITA.
No, SNES emulation on PSP is very spotty. In my experience most games that don't use Mode 7 or expansion chips are playable, but ones that do are not.
Just enable frame skipping
>bro just make it worse
game compatibility depends on the version of the emulator ur using, which also depends on the cfw version u have
whats ur cfw version & emulator/version
i'm all updated up on both fronts, i thought that was what was expected
Are you using esmjanus's fork? Specifically the me version?
yeah snes9xme ?
why would you do that though?
have you tried buying a snes?
that's a crazy idea, in a pinch i'd sooner inject the games onto a Wii
Just use your phone.
PSP can't handle mode7 effects. As long as the game doesn't rely on large-scale rotation it runs fine.
>play video games on a screen 100x smaller than the devs intended
This retro emulation handheld meme needs to end
On a Slim w/ 64 MB RAM clocked at 333 MHz, chip games are slow. Stock games for the most part run ok. A lot need frameskip.
You have to remember that back in the mid to late 2000's being able to emulate SNES games on a handheld device was fricking mindblowing. That's where all the talk of the PSP being a great emulation machine comes from.
In reality it can't run any games that use an enhancement chip at a playable framerate and the ones that don't mostly need frameskip or have other issues.
In 2022 you have a thousand better options.
same way zsnes was mindblowing on msdos or windows 98. the "you had to be there" argument.
you really think people in 2000s cared that psp doesnt run gba games full speed or had annoying screen tearing? just sheer expectation that console released only after 3 years after gba was released was able to play gba games. most people even dropped their gbas in favor of psp running gba emulator that's how good of novelty that was. and by default it has auto frameskip at 9. so unless you were autistic about full speed, you would never notice that emulation wasnt perfect, and most people in 2000s definitely werent and probably didnt even know what screen tearing was
psp also supports avc h264 which even today is mindblowing because it's modern standard for encoding that most people still use for watching media on tvs and whatnot. so psp still solid for movie watching if you can figure out exact preset you need in ffmpeg for proper conversion
no
hit or miss
games wont run full speed, full stop
most games run with frameskipping
a lot mode 7 games are not playable (f-zero is playable however)
some games have glitches like even smw does (romhacks seems to be fine)
for longest time if there was gba port of snes game, people on psp just played gba port instead (ie yoshi's island)
