its pretty much the same concept...create a folder and name it the same as the emulator, place the emulator files inside the folder, drag the folder to appropriate directory in your psp (usually GAME150 folder), drop the ROMS inside the emulator folder within your psp, start the emulator, load the ROM and tada!
however, last time i checked (and this is maybe 1 yr ago), N64 emulation was horrible on the psp...lots of laggy plus not many games supported...
m' kay..

and ... that's why I aint going to put the N64 emu. It's kinda laggy still and it not going to get updated. Not to mention that it needs the 1.50 kernel which makes it hard for the slim users.

This has already been answered. However, I would like someone to confirm if it works (and which one). So, I can put it on my guide.

This is rad but just wanna say... Gba/SNES roms arent illegal as long as you own the actual games. That goes for roms of all systems. But yeah bios' are definatley illegal... so dont get caught! Check my home page for some roms, the site listed has evert gba release (all of them) and a great selection of snes games as well. it also has games from many other systems. Enjoy!
Peace!!!

Hi. I just got both gba and SNES working on my psp slim with 5.00 M33-6 using this guide. my only question is this: I went to change my kernel to 3.XX but when I try to change it from 5.XX there's only one other option for 1.50. Is there somewhere I can get a 3.XX? Both games I've been trying to play run a little sluggish sometimes and I'm wondering if the kernel would help.
Also, totally unrelated, but if someone could run me through how to get pepviewer to work on my psp that would be great. I run through the readme and it keeps saying game cannot start and then it says there's corrupted data.

change the fps in the menu of the emulators. Try to tinker with it until it works. Not all games run at the same speed so you will need to change the fps some times.
3.xx is for custom firmware 3.xx that is why it is not an option in your recovery menu.
I don't know what pep viewer is but make sure it is compatible with the psp slim and it should work in the game folder.

I figured that these two are the most common emulators that are requested in this forum. So, I decided to spend my time to write a guide for it.Let's start with a background info first. Emulators are programs that emulates another video game console. There are more emulators for the PSP, if you wish to install scroll down for dr1ver's super emu guides.
GUIDE: Play Gameboy Advance Roms on your PSP (GPSP)
YOUTUBE VIDEO
Intro:
I noticed that many people want to play GBA in their PSP. Well... that is possible ! There are many emulators out there for pc. The best (IMO) GBA emulator for PC would be Visualboy Advance. For the PSP, it would be gpSP (which is ported from VBA). In this guide I will show you how to install gpSP. THIS WORKS FOR PSP SLIM AND FAT.
Requirements:
1. A Custom Firmware PSP with a 3.XX kernal
2. Unofficial gpSP Kai v3.2 Test 8.7 ( Will update if needed)
Steps:
Before I go on, I want to tell you that emulators are not illegal. The bios and roms (games) are. So, I will not post where to get them. You are goin to use google.
1. Download the gpSP from the above link. Extract the files into your desktop. After, open the ms0/PSP/GAME folder. Until you see the folder gpSP. Copy that folder into your GAME folder on your PSP.
2. Go inside the gpSP folder in your PSP. Now download the GBA BIOS use google to search for it. Rename the bios to "gba_bios.bin". Transfer that file to the gpSP folder.
3. After get your gba roms and put it on the ROMS folder inside that GBA folder. Gpsp can play .gba and zip files that contains the .gba file.Start the game and have fun.
Transfer VBA saves to Gpsp
Orignally posted by drag_93. Thanks to armyman45 for testing
1) Copy the .sav and .svs files from the GPSP folder into a backup folder.
2) Open VisualBoy Advance and go File/Import/Battery File and choose the .sav file.
3) Do what you want to do on VisualBoy Advance and save the file as a VisualBoy Advance Save File (.sgm).
4) On VisualBoy Advance go File/Export/Battery File and save it as exactly the same name of the ROM that the save file is from.
5) Rename the VisualBoy Advance .sgm file to the same name as the ROM file, the slot you want it to be in and then .svs as the file extension. e.g. Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City0.svs.
6) Copy both files back to where you copied the files from originally and run GPSP.
7) Go to the slot you put in the filename. There should be some random picture there. DON'T WORRY. This is perfectly normal. Just load the file and everything should work perfectly. If this doesn't work try to load savestate from file under savestate options.

FAQ:
Q: Can this play GB or GBC games ?
A: Not that i know, no. There is the Masterboy emulator for PSP which can play GBA, GB and GBC games.
Q: The emulator isnt starting ?
A: Please read the FAQ section in the SNES guide.
Q: Where can I download bios and roms
A: As i said b4, use google. They are copyright files so it makes them illegal to share.
Q: Do I need to convert the Rom or such?
A: When you download a rom they should either be in a .zip or .gba format. gpSP can play .zip files with the gba rom inside. However, I recommend that you unzip the game to .gba. No need to convert.
Q: Can I play with my friends that has gpSP with adhoc.
A: Sadly, no. Though the developer of the emulator is working on it.
Q: I can start the gpsp but it says I got a bad bios or such.
A: You got a corrupt gba bios. Download another one. If your PC does not show full extension of files, try renaming the bios to "gba_bios".
My Other Guides
GUIDE: Play SNES games on your PSP (Snes9xTYL)
Intro: This a guide to install Snes9xTYL into your PSP. This emu will let you play SNES games on your PSP. There is a SNES emu for the PC so u can try the game 1st to see if it is corrupt. The best (IMO) would be Snes9x. For the PSP it would be Snes9xTYL. THIS WORKS FOR SLIM AND FAT.
Requirements:
1. A Custom Firmware PSP with 3.XX kernal
2. Snes9xTYL 0.4.2 ME (will update if needed)
Steps:
Before I go on, I want to tell you that emulators are not illegal. The bios and roms (games) are. So, I will not post where to get them. You are goin to use google.
1. Download the SNES9xTYL and extract it. There should be a "snes9xTYL" folder. Copy that to your GAME folder of your PSP.
2. Put your ROM into the ROM folder inside the snes9xTYL folder you just put on your PSP. This emulator can play .smc game file and zip file that contains the .scm file.
3. Disconnect the USB, go to the GAME menu of your XMB, and select the emulator.
Transfer SNES9x saves to SNES9x TYL
Save it from the Save State Function. After, you should get a .zsX (where X is the number) with the name of you game. Transfer that file into the SAVES folder of your SNES9x TYL.

FAQ:
Q: Can this play NES games?
A: No, it cannot. You can use Nester J to run it. To install Nester J, please look below this guide for the Super Emulator Guide by Dr1ver.
Q: The emulator isnt starting ?
A: Make sure you have custom firmware like 3.03 OE,3.71 M33, 3.90 GEN
If, you do have a custom firmware. Check the game kernel.
1. Fully turn off the psp by holding the power button
2. Hold the R button and turn on the PSP
3. This will bring you to the recovery mode
4. Go to Config, then go to GAME kernal. Set it to 3.XX or 4.XX (Where X is the number of your firmware)
Q: Where can I download bios and roms
A: As i said b4, use google. They are copyright files so it makes them illegal to share.
Q: Do I need to convert the Rom or such?
A: When you download a rom they should either be in a .zip or .smc file. Snes9xTYL can run both of them. No need to convert.
Q: How do I get into the Menu ?
A: After, selecting the game you wish to run. Click Home. It should bring you to the menu.

OK, edited this. Got the files needed, only problem now is the kernel. When i switch it, I only have 1.5 and 5.00, I assume I need to DL the rest of the kernels...? from where? I have MUX2.0, but when i go into run the updates, I don't think it does anything but sit there and flash the orange light at me real fast and does so for a few minutes. I know it didn't take that long to do the cfw that way in the first place...

From more reading, I have CFW 5.00(listed as kernel in recovery mode) so I should be able to play this emulator. I have a game as an smc file in his folder: F:\PSP\GAME\snes9xTYL\ROMS
When I go to my GAME menu on PSP, there is a bunch of corrupted files. What am I missing? There is no SNES emu, and I've tried this all week to no avail. Over and over. It's all copy/paste really, so i don't know what I'm not doing right. Any help?
FORGIVE THE POSTINGS-ONE MORE TIME WAS THE TICKET!! It's working all of a sudden. WOOHOO!!!
