Monkey64 v1.0 Released!


PSmonkey has released the first installment of Monkey64 - the N64 emulator for the Sony Playstation Portable! While still in early stages of development, this is truly a step forward in the right direction!

A few things to note, from the keyboard of PSmonkey:

- While Rsp & Rdp emulation is started it is far from complete. As well there are still numerous issues in the main cpu core. I plan to fix things as soon as I can get to them.

- This won't run mario64 or 99% of the n64 library. Some roms are starting to do things with Mortal Kombat Trillogy actually being playable (to some extent).

- I know there are odd looking color squares when running some commercial roms (like Mortal Kombat). The reason is because I have not completed texture support in rdp. I am hoping to get a revision out asap once this is fixed.

- The emulator is slow. Some PD roms do a pretty nice framerate but games like Mortal Kombat do about 5fps. This is due to the emulator still being on a pure interpreter core. In good time I will build a dynamic recompiler so we can get some more playable framerates.

- The app is in user mode. So it is quite possible this works on 2.0+ psp units. I just sadly don't have the time to check.

To use:

  1. Create a folder labled "n64" on the root of your memory stick.
  2. Copy your roms into the "n64" folder (roms MUST NOT be zipped).
    ..) Example "G:\n64\" (replace G: with your psp drive letter)
  3. Copy the files from the folder containing your psp version number
    ..) Example, 1.0 users will go into 1.0 folder and copy the psp directory to the root of the memory stick.
  4. Run the software

So check it out and leave your comments/feedback below!

YEAH. keep going PSMonkey. GREAT WORK

this is a great emulator

Can't wait 'till this runs at full speed!! Keep up the great work PSMonkey!!

Thanks a alot PsMonkey Boy we all appreciate the time you are spending for us, but I wish you concentrate only on Mario64 and/or Mario Kart64 because those are the killer titles on the Beloved N64 and they were emulated on 90% of Windows emulators.Cheeeerz ;)

thats gay all the roms i try dont work south park mario zelda nothin but wen i try the game he likes mortal combat guess wat it works

im gonna pass till he updates it but its still 1 really big step

#17Did you even read the post? It says the emulator is in its infant stages and will not run 99% of the commercial roms. It specifically states that Mortal Combat is the only one working right now.It takes time to develop these things and I commend PSmonkey for even trying. :)

This sweet. Hopefully some time soon I will be playing super mario 64 on my PSP. Keep up the good work PSMONKEY :)

fuck mario 64.. keep working on mk trilogy!!!!

name at least one game that anyone got working

even with this in its infancy, i think i speak for the majority of this bunch when i say a big HELLS YEAH to the dev team. major props :-D

Can't wait for Mario 64 .. Or even Banjo Kazooie would be soooo sweet :P Ahah just kidding .. Keep up the good work! U're a master coder!! :D

this thing is a peice of shit

#25, u r a piece of shit. i bet u couldnt do better than psmonkey even if ur life depended on it.

Does it work with Bomberman 64?

OMG psmonkey , soon this would work and we'll be playing legend of zelda ocarina of time with 20 fps , psmonkey you rule , I will put you in the list in my mind of most important peopleGeorge BushCharles MansonFidel CastroMichael Jacksonold guy in the 3rd avenuewait that's not right , sorry that was the list of people I most hate , sorry let me do it againBill ClintonKneal PeartJeff SkillingKFC old guypsmonkeyok , now it's correct , wow , when zelda ocarina of time works I will be amazed , psmonkey will be known better a hacker than fanjita himself.

PEOPLE, this does not run COMERCIAL ROMS, it runs public roms, free roms, maybe next build will support some comercial games, but this one should not.

28 I just read that and how can you say that ._. Fanjita found a way to run freaking homebrew on 2.01, 2.5 and 2.6, sorry but he wont pass fanjita, but he will be VERY close.

PSMonkey....Man, If Get the EmU from an infant to its final stages.... You Will BE DA-MANNNN... You possibly just as good as Fanjita or even BETTER!!! Appreciate da hard work like the rest that put up comments for ya... Peace, 805 Cali

yay!! i got mortal kombat trilogy to work on my psp,which is 2.0 but....its really..like fuzzy and i can't really play....

YES OH GOD YES OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH THANKYOU

I bow to you now... and we are not worthyyyyy... please please make it work so we could all play wcw vs. nwo.. wcw vs. nwo revenge.. wwf wrestlemania 2000... my golly wow!!!!!!!!!

keep up the good work

(begging) make it work pleaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeee........

good start, keep up the good work!

good job you deserve some sleep...

hay give a list of you can play on this emu.

welcome to the world of master coders PSMONKEY, you rock my socks

only if it worked on 2.6.....without GTA

I really appreciate the work that is being done here. I have one thing to say. You should not compare PSMonkey to anyone, nor Fanjita. It is not fair.

so it doesn't work on 2.6 or what? anyway, i still dont know where to save it or how to run it. the directions didnt help much.

hello?

what exactly is the root of my memory stick?

yo people...........lets all donate to psmonkey

well so far it doesnt work for 2.6 it... it loads up the menu but it doesnt load any of the pd roms supplied or even mk trilogy well as many other emulators started this will only keep building, hopefully this will load the next update on 2.6 or when fanjita updates his eloader which ever comes first.

i just need better instructions. thats all

would someone tell me where im suppost to make the n64 folder at.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I need super help!!!!!!!!!!

psmonkey is fuckin awesome
