How do you know it runs decently then? It sounds really weird that it'd take 10 mins to boot (which itself indicates that PSP isn't really good hardware to emulate it) but would run decently after it.

psp is more than enough hardware to emulate it, the emulator to boot W95 is at fault for the long boot time prettymuch.

I know it takes a long time cause thats what the site says, but i have read of other people putting it on there too so.

none of those guys have rpg maker, but in theory it "should" work, but idk.

PSP has nowhere near the hardware requirements to emulate a Windows 95 PC decently. The emulator isn't at fault for the boot times, the PSP's processor is. It won't run well after bootup either. It's purely a proof of concept, a "look what we can do", and will never be more.

The psp bochs website claims that the desktop is "usable", but this is a subjective term. A Windows 95 desktop can be usable even when running incredibly slow. It may take a second or two to draw windows, but it can still be usable. This doesn't mean it's useful for anything except looking pretty if you don't try and do anything.

RPG Maker will definitely not run well, if at all, on an emulated W95 machine on PSP.

Emulation on the PSP is actually VERY good.  SNES, Genesis, Playstation, and even games like Marvel Vs. Capcom are able to run at perfect frame rates. The only problems are the games that use those special graphics for the SNES(Super Mario RPG, Kirby Superstar, etc.)
There is even a Nintendo DS emulator....but it's complete shit and only runs like 10% of the games.

Emulation of older consoles is possible on the PSP because they do not require a large amount of power to do (as opposed to emulating a full x86 PC, which requires quite a lot of power).

Emulation of PSX is only possible because the PSP's processor is a MIPS32 R4000. The PSX processor was a MIPS32 R3000A-compatible. As far as I'm aware, the R4000 remains instruction compatible with the R3000. This means that emulation of the processor is not required.

I'm positive an emulation of RPG Maker is possible....but I don't think Windows 95 is the solution. Some insane coder might come around to it someday' date=' though[/quote']
There's no other way to emulate RPG Maker without also emulating a Windows 95 machine. Even if you, say, compiled ReactOS for the R4000, you'd still need to emulate an x86 machine on that to run RM.

It's just not feasible.

Man already 3.71 games are coming out...Im still at 3.40 OE...Im too lazy to upgrade everytime a new good game comes out...

Ahh! Since its not trying to emulate the game engine, it doesnt use extra power and that is why PS1 games run flawlessly on the PSP.... Nice. Also, some SNES games Ive tried do play slowly, like LoZelda and Ninja warriors.

The only game that seems to run flawlessly for snes is Super Mario World... 0 _ 0

Otoman: You don't really need to upgrade well I wouldn't, since all the games I have tried all work on my 3.40 OE-A?

first it was Windows 98 for Xbox, now this for PSP? If only i had bothered to completely install windows 98 on my xbox, I would be able to see if the rm2k3 games worked or not. ah well I guess the world will never know muahahah.

btw, I have a few questions for PSP owners.

I'm going to buy a PSP pretty soon for emulation purposes, meaning I'll need hacked firmware. What do I need to know with regards to firmware versions, tools required etc? I don't want to buy it and then find out that I can't install hacked firmware on it.

This has got to be a joke.

Either you have the old SNEStyl, or you downloaded only 3 games. First off, download snestyl ME edition, which boosts your FPS a lot. I can run Super Mario Kart, and even Star Ocean at almost perfect speeds. I also configured my own little code for Super Mario RPG so battles run at 30+ FPS, though there are some slowdowns in the field depending on how many monsters are in that area. Those are probably the only games that lag for me.
Super Metroid owns on the PSP, btw.

You can also update the snesadvance.dat off of the website of the developer. It will support almost every SNES game made, and improves the FPS in the current ones.

microsoft word document: Well, I wouldn't recommend a PSP Slim, since it not going to be hackable unless you have a Pandora battery, which must be made using the fat PSP. Plus, the kernels for the slim aren't fully made yet, so half of the homebrew isn't even going to work on it. As for setting the whole thing up, first you're going to need a PSP that has a firmware lower than 3.50(around there). You can then purchase Lumines(hoping they haven't patched it yet) and downgrade using the illuminati exploit. Google that if you don't know what it is. The other option is just purchasing a Pandora battery on ebay or something, which will automatically downgrade to 1.50 for you, but I'm not sure you want to go that route.
Once you're in 1.50, you can pretty much upgrade to any firmware you want. I would recommend 3.52 M33-4. It's just as stable as the 3.40, and you get a lot more features.

Are there no exploits that do not require me to buy even more stuff?

The only way that I know of would be to just purchase a PSP with 1.50 already on it. You won't have to buy anything extra if you do it that way.
Unless somebody else here knows of any other ways.

check that link out, it should answer some of your questions about downgrading, homebrew, etc.

Yeah Neophyte pretty much told you everything you need to know, the best way is to just get a PSP with firmware version 1.5 then you have less hassle.

Yeah, I'll try. Thanks for the help.

Almost perfect is not good enough,No matter how you put it,the games lagg and thats that,and I have tried tons of games even the ones you mentioned and they lagg even with all the plugins and FPS limit and all the bullshit.

I stated that those are the only games with a little lag.

And you obviously don't know how to configure the SNES emulator. Look at youtube videos if you don't believe me. I have over 50 SNES games on my PSP, and only about 5 of them lag. What games have you even tried, by the way? Name them.
Btw SNEStyl ME isn't a plugin. It's different from the regular snestyl emulator because it does all the sound emulation on the Media Engine, which increases FPS a lot. All you is download it, go to the configurator, and set FPS skip to 1 frame or automatic. If you're STILL experiencing lag(I doubt it), then you can set your PSP to 333mhz.
No more lag.

Killer instinct, SMRPG, Star Ocean, and Kirby Superstar are the only games that I have that really lag for me. Kirby is unplayable, while KI takes a lot of configuring to get running at a good speed.
All of my other games are perfect.

Ok I can't get the Snes emulator to work (the latest one) my current firmware is M33 3.71-3, I've tried changing the kernel settings and switching the folders between game and game150 but it still won't work, I get a "game could not be started error"

That's what happened to mine, and it's still like that. I'm going to format my memory stick and see if that's the problem. That might fix yours as well.
Try installing the firmware again, too.
