What are the chances that we'll eventually get a CPS1/CPS2/Neo-Geo emulator for PSP? Would it be possible?

No, not yet. I was thinking about that too since I found this reader once, but I need some sort of special USB cable. It's smaller than a regular one on the end where it's supposed to connect to the reader. But it's not as small as a PSP USB port.
Edit: Ah cool, I just found out that the USB printer cable is useable for that, gonna try to reformat now.
Go to Sandisk's online sale site and check out what's listed there. http://www.esend.com/sandisk/ Numerous under $20 options. Check out the tiny Mobile Mate 4 in 1, for instance. They gave some out during E3 and they work as advertised.Shompola said:

Anybody with a "fried" memory stick tried doing an fdisk on it? Maybe it's just that the partition table sector is wrecked. I don't know that Windows' DOS-mode fdisk will let you mess with a USB device like that, but maybe from Mac OS X/linux/BSD. Although, even in that case you might need a card reader, if the PSP just throws up its hands and won't cooperate at all.
It just seems unlikely that an emu could really kill a memory stick.

Since most peole don't use a floppy drive anymore, I suggest something like one of these.

Nice use for that 3.5" bay, and nicer than having USB cables running everywhere

its hard to format when your psp or pc card reader wont detect a card in there to format or fdisk anyway. doesnt fdisk require to be able to read the card in the 1st place? well when you fry your card like this, as in not readable anymore, when you try to fdisk/format, it says please insert disk/card.
there is supposed to be a software that can detect dead memory sticks. Cant remember the name of it, saw it mentioned on a camera forum.
here try this software, might work http://www.pcinspector.de/smart_media_recovery/uk/demo.html

"fdisk" is for making partitions; having a disk with a good partition table is a prerequisite to formatting, sort of a lower level thing. Fdisk looks at the disk as a dumb, filesystemless, raw device, and just reads and writes to particular predetermined sectors on that disk to set up partitions that can later be formatted. If you've ever installed Windows on a brand new drive, fdisk is what you do in the dos-style environment before you ever start actually installing.
As an illustration, here's my (healthy) 512MB mem stick in linux's cfdisk:
That mem stick isn't mounted, so it isn't accessible for normal reading and writing at all, and it doesn't need to be. I could make that mem stick seem pretty broken by scribbling random garbage over the partition table, but I would still be able to first re-partition it with fdisk, and then format it.
My question or suggestion was that someone with a fried-seeming stick see if it might be accessible in that sort of lower-level situation, and if it might be fixed by making a new partition table, and then formatting it. Problems are, as I said in my first post, I don't think the fdisk that comes with Windows will let you partition a USB device at all (so it'll need to be someone who has Mac OS X, linux, or FreeBSD, etc), and further that the PSP might refuse to cooperate, so that a (presumably dumber) mem card reader might be needed.
Not to get anyone's hopes up, because it might not help at all, and might well be easier just to send the thing back to SanDisk. It could really be that your mem sticks are somehow broken, but that just seems unlikely to me.

Done, thank you. Someone posted a version of this, but one that mounts into a floppy drive bay. I didn't feel like opening up my computer or sacrificing my A: drive. Cheaper than just about any other MUCH more limited alternative too. Again, thank you.
^^^ I'm pretty sure you can open the enclosure of that reader and put it in a 3.5 bay.
Windows XP doesn't even come with fdisk. The equivilent is Disk Management applet inside Computer Management. Right now it doesn't seem to let me do anything useful with my memory stick.

It does come with fdisk, but you can't run it from within XP. Easiest way to get to it is to boot from the XP install cd, and go to the "recovery console" (I think that's what it's called). Type "fdisk" when it finally drops you to a DOS-style prompt. Like I said earlier, I have no idea if it'll even see a USB reader/stick, though, and no idea if it'd even help if it did.Yusaku said:

Anyone know if there's a faster/better SNES emulator out there than Snes9x? It runs way too slowly on my PSP.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Is there a way to get SNES9x to use one configuration file for all games, rather than setting each of them up individually? I haven't found a way..
By the way, there's a new version out, 0.02y14. Looks like it has a few fixes.

this is crazy. Homebrew shouldn't affect the memory stick unless its badly programmed - maybe not releasing the stick? Is it only one emu doing this?
And I don't see how sleep affects things, as the MS shouldn't even be accessing.
Maybe its a problem with MS programs generally?
I'd have thought fucking up your PSP is a much higher risk with random homebrew (eg the wallpaper one which you are actually flashing bits of your firmware with !)

About the abuse of 8.3 to trick it into hiding the corrupt files. I'm in the middle of trying it out right now, but I believe there's a bit of a mistake in the given explanation. It says that the base name of a directory should be at most 6 characters, but I think it should be only 5. For instance, when I have "Nester 1" that makes it "Nester~1" in 8.3, so there's no reason it would get mixed up with "Nester1~1%". Making the change now to see if it works properly this time...
One also must be careful in what order they do their copying in of folders, or renaming. A few times I ended up with the main directory being a ~2 instead of ~1, so it wasn't matching up properly with ~1% either.
After taking care of these issues, the technique seems to work alright.

What I find most frustrating is that the menu has an Auto Frameskip option... but it doesn't appear to do anything. Running a game at the wrong speed or being able to approximate correct speed by constant manual frame skip changes is more irritating than the missing frames themselves.ourumov said:
Ok, I haven't really been involved in emulating before, and I have a question (that I hope doesn't get me banned). When I see roms online, there are normally 4-5 different versions of the game avaliable with different characters after their names (e.g. 1942 has b1, o1, o2, etc). Do I need all of these different roms? Or is one no different than any other? Should I just delete all of them but the one with the highest character/number after it?

Yea, you're right. That'll teach me to try and do basic arithmetic. I'll edit my original post if I can.JoshuaJSlone said:

b = bad dump (prolly doesnt even work, i still dont get why these arent just discarded...)Yossarian said:
o = overdump (aka dumped more data than even is on the cart so its oversized for no reason)
! = verified good dump (this is the one you want)
