This version adds an experimental and basic KML files support.

It allows you to add some additional informations on the maps, such as directions and points of interest.

For KML support:

• Create a kml/ directory in your PSP-Maps folder.

Many enjoy listening to their own music while playing games, but it’s a feature not available for PSP. Fortunately for us, Cpasjuste has ported the Music PRX plugin to support 3.90+ M33.

Note: “This has been tested on a 3.90 M33-3 slim PSP, WITHOUT the fatmsmod patch applied.”

• Added GP2X version
• Added Google Moon, Google Mars and Google Sky support; if you find the “cheat” code, you can enable these;
• Fixed Google Terrain view;
• New splash screen for the PSP-Hacks competition with sound.

As for the “cheat,” you’ll need to look into the app’s source code which can be downloaded from the developer’s site below. I’ll be posting the “cheat” later so stay tuned.

Weltall has rolled out a new version of CWCheat, the universal cheat device for both PSP and PSX emulated (POPs) games. Besides the usual bugfixes and optimizations, remaPSP has been fixed to work in POPs. As the name implies, remaPSP allows you to remap the PSP’s buttons and controls.

Changes:

• [ALL] fixed a bug in RemaPSP about buffernegative functions which returned invalid values being returned.
• [POPS] Now REMAPSP works perfectly in POPS
• [ALL] Various optimizations in the remaPSP initialization code which reduced the size of more than 200 bytes
• [ALL] Some optimizations in the memory edit/disasm functions which reduced the size of more than 32 bytes
• [ALL] Added a check against tries to open a non existent text file with the text reader
• [ALL] Various size optimizations in the cheat search functions which reduced the size of more than 232bytes
• [ALL] Now it’s possible to define a key combination to access directly the text reader from in-game. You can define the buttons by adding them to the “TEXTREAD BTN = ” entry in the configuration file.
• [ALL] Optimized the functions checking for key combinations. This reduced the size of more than 818bytes

It’s been awhile but Notaz is back with a new version of PicoDrive, the Genesis/Sega CD emulator for PSP. This is mainly a bugfix release, so don’t expect any speed improvements.

Changes:

• Fixed sprite masking code. Thanks to Lordus for explaining how it works.
• Added “disable sprite limit” option.
• Added black level adjustment to display options.
• Changed reset to act as ’soft’ reset.
• Added detection for Puggsy (it doesn’t really have sram).
• Some small timing adjustments.
• Added support for SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) to emulate Virtua Racing. No recompiler for PSP version though.
• Changed config file format, files are now human-readable. Game specific configs are now held in single file (but old game config files are still read when new one is missing).
• Fixed a bug where some key combos didn’t work as expected.
• Adjusted fast renderer to work with more games, including VR.
• Fixed a problem where SegaCD RAM cart data was getting lost on reset.
• PicoDrive now comes with a game config file for some games which need special settings, so they should now work out-of-the-box. More games will be added with later updates.
