  ROFL@ “Just watch how playable Zelda is in the below video.”
  I could just be wrong and need glasses.

    Hey, may I tell you that I was using Remotejoylite and frameskip. Remotejoy slowed gameplay by about 5 FPS on Zelda and frameskip made gameplay look crappy. If you play it straight from your PSP, you’ll notice that Zelda averages a solid 16 FPS…also, “Just watch how playable Zelda is in the below video” doesn’t only mean speed. Look at the graphics; their exactly like their N64 counterpart. That’s what it means if a title is playable.
  - PantsuInMyFace
    
    You have to consider that OOT wasn’t playable at all before. This is an incredible improvement, and praise is much deserved to the devs that created this beta.
Jawn

all i get is white page and bunch of scribbles !

@Pspfan how do you post notices like these? Because DX64 Beta 3 came out a few days earlier. Are we able to post notices? (i think it’d be better becuz then we can get more notices in, so if one person is busy others can cover up

  the sound is a total crap. Sounds lag to much.
  - mikeporrasm
    
    mm wierd i had a n64 emulator on my clasic xbox and sound worked well same as on my ps2
  - acid_snake
    
    N64 emulator for PS2? are you sure, cause last time I check there was none
http://tinyurl.com/pinoypsp liquorice

lots of bug. PSP crash when try to load tony hawk, stuck and shuts down on earthworm jim 3d.
crashbfan

Wow! Lots of changes, it better be good. I’m sick of a laggy emulator. I’ll report back with the results.
- crashbfan
  
  All I see so far are visual changes to the EBOOT, and in-game cover art, there’s absolutely no changes for the better concerning the speed of games with sound enabled, sorry to say that this isn’t too great of an upgrade from B2 REV 637
  - http://pinoypspdownloads.blogspot.com liquorice
    
    yeah right. i tested it with earthworm jim 3d. i cant play it because of lag. the only change i saw was the eboot art which i really dont like (the old eboot icon is much good).
http://pspslimhacks ghosthunter187

keep up the good work i already had this since friday night its alright it runs pokemon stadium 2 a lot better better sound and speed cant wait for the next one
Codebreaker

Its really fast and so much better! however, it crashes when i hit the home button.
Mister L

i think I’ll keep waiting… the fps is better but it still sucks…

is there any 6.35 pro-b support?
- Dan Diemer
  
  The real question is “Does it run Mystical Ninja, Staring Goemon”.
  - Fargaite
    
    Which is totally unrelated to his question.
Annoyed PSP User

Is this supported by 6.20 Hen-B?
If not, i really think 6.20 Hen-C shld have support built solely for this please
FanAtiK

is it safe to use in my psp 3000(Brite) ta-090v2 5.03 MHU? =)

randomer…

WORKS GREAT ON OoT. im using 6.35 .
paul_kaiser

too bad resident evil 2 still doesn’t work though
- Erik
  
  Why not just play the PSX version? it’s better anyway.
  - pspninja
    
    Not techically true. The nintendo 64 produced more colors and had a higher pixel count than the psx. The nintendo was faster and more powerful. In japan they had a few games that were never put in production but they allow you to create games on the nintendo 64. the nintendo also supported online play in japan,
crashbfan

Mario 64, an 8MB game still lags alot (sound enabled). It’s kind of disappointing
- garrlker
  
  What are you talking about. When I played it it ran perfect.
N.64

WOW! Many fixes here=)
Stand on! Good work=)
poop station portable

it can almost run sm64 at full speed with sound. zelda runs pretty slow when you are walking on hyrule field but it looks like it must be possible to make it run smooth. keep up the work
Brent27

It crashes a lot compared to the previous version i have use.
ConkerHUN

Too many crashed. I want to play Conker Bad Fur Day. Audio is sucks, then 30sec i get blue screen my PSP crased.

Pls: Conker is the best game in this platform
- blackbirdpr
  
  i know i think the revision 632 is better because in that rev i played star fox normally perfect with sound enabled and conker it started but graphics went crazy but it still worked and in beta 3 it didnt even started
ConkerHUN

Too many crashed. I want to play Conker Bad Fur Day. Audio is bad, then 30sec i get blue screen my PSP crased.
rockstar

since im new to use this, how do i download games for this emulator? plz
- Cheeseiron
  
  Go to a site like Doperoms. They have thousands of ROM games.
  - Fargaite
    
    … … … Request deletion.
ConkerHUN

I know 10 sites for the game download. But i cant share. Coz my commet has been removed.
Scudreloaded

conkers bad fur day actually loaded for you?
its still a beta guys. it isn’t gunna be perfect. starfox and mario run pretty well though. but with sound it lags.
one step at a time,..
you forget things dont hapan over night.

i might try conkers bad fur day or a few other roms just unzipped versions
bugs so far
after a game loads for me the home button makes the screen flicker black once and never goes to the main menu.
the first couple times i started the emu it had ni64 cover previews and now it dosent seem to be loading the images anymore. i didnt delete them, there still there just not working
ConkerHUN

Yes i know. I try it the Starfox but the sound lags yeah.

I loaded the Conker Bad Fur Day and my psp crashed. Maybe waiting for the full version.
crashbfan

Don’t expect Conker’s Bad Fur day to ever work. It’s one of the top 3 most memory-dense games for the N64.
carnal894

Yeah, i know its still in beta but mario party 2 and 3, mortal kombat trilogy, and goldeneye 007 freezes up and crashes my psp. On a positive note super mario 64 works fine for me
Cheeseiron

This is great, cant wait for more improvements. I’ll probly download the next version, just to make sure it’ll work better. XD But great dev!
JNinja707

i was playing conker and it work but the graphic was shit
http://pspslimhacks ghosthunter187

heres a tip for everyones whos is crashing try running the game first then hit home then edit preferences then synchronise the sound (enable sound) then continue emulation and it should work great so far ive played mario 64 super smash bros, mari kart and last but not least pokemon stadium 2 and believe me it runs smooth sound and all im running psp go 6.35 pro-b if any body needs help or questions or concerns get at me im a 5 year vet pro at the psp world

Hello, can someone tell me if this works on 6.20 TN-C?

PLEASE HELP ME!
- crashbfan
  
  It works for any Homebrew enabling program or Custom Firmware. In other words yes.
- PSP
  
  Yes it works with 6.20 TN-C I have tested it =)

TYSARD/TYLUR

natsu

ConkerHUN

What about the Donkey kong 64? Anyone try it? I guess this the good game for the nintendo.
Rockstar

- http://pspslimhacks ghosthunter187
  
  @rockstar its mario 64 it runs the fastest with sound
apexvipor

- http://pspslimhacks ghosthunter187
  
  @apezvipor go to edit preferences then enable sound or sychronise audio then go back to resume emulation
Ryder

Brilliat, works with HBL!
natsu

i can only play mario kart, super mario 64 and legend of zelda. resdent evil is unplayable, perfect dark had graphics problem. rayman the great escape got graphics problem too
psp

off topic i know
which 1 is better 5.03 gen-c or 6.35 pro b
shadowangel

Well ive tryed almost all version .. this is a little faster some times.. it crashes way to much the home button problem Etc. not related to the emulation should be fixed with an update.. few games work that never did before but there not worth playing any ways lol..

sound is horrable and the slow down and freezing between loading parts of the games is worst then it was before..

almost makes me want to port pj64 lol.. i really dont have the time any more for coding.

i was so happy to see the update.. large list of changes but it plays nothing better then Daedalusx64 r638 which might have had all the changes but it’s stable no home button problem

Not worth using.. all games i tryed crashed at some point.. even fullspeed and sound if it was this unstable it still not be worth using..
http://www.hackpsp.com faraonura

it is not good is crash almost all games work 30 sec add crash sory is not sow good !!
Royce of parta

i put thison my psp go6.37 and i cant even get it to tart it just stays at a black screen was it not ment for 6.37
Sage

Tried this with mario 64, the emu runs really fast, faster than regular speed.
It’s not worth using.
