Help with N64 emulator

Hey guys I decided to get a PSP today after getting rid of my bigger consoles, just because on the move all the time. I just wanna know how to get some N64 games on my PSP. Now im new so if you could describe it to me step my step or just point me in the right direction. I need to know what firmware number i need for n64 to work on. Where the newest version of Daedalus is?? how to transfer it on to my psp. I have a ROM sight, so i know where i can get them from. but any other help would be awesome
Cheers

What firmware do you have?

I have 2.81

2.08??? You mean 2.8? If you have 2.8 Then you can downgrade to 1.5, using some files which you can find a guide in the tutorials section, and then upgrade to a custom firmware of your choice. If you have anything lower then you could possibly upgrade to just 2.71 and then downgrade. But if you have 2.81 or higher then you can upgrade to 3.03 and then use Grand Theft Auto: Liberty city stories (a unpatched version, meaning it has the 2.0 update on the disc) to downgrade to 1.5 then upgrade to a custom firmware. Once you have a custom firmware (Or you could just stay at 1.5, but I wouldn't suggest it) you can download the newest deadalus from our downloads section and transfer it to your psp with the ROM using a usb cable or put the memory card in your computer using some mem card reader for your computer. Sorry if it was vague but you can find a lot more info in the tutorials section.

Just downloading 3.03 now. the file is 1eboot.pbp. But how do you unzip this file?

try to put the file on my psp but is says corrupted??

take the 1 out of the file name so its named eboot.pbp

And make a folder in the GAME folder titled UPDATE and put EBOOT.PBP in it.

Cheers guys, nearly there. Now gotta get myself a GTA. Is ones of ebay trustworthy??

If they have a picture (Preferrably a picture with there username in it somewhere) of the game and it is 2.0 then its worth a try. But no one can really tell if the person is trustworthy or not. But they cost wayyyy to much off ebay. I bought mine from blockbuster for 15 bucks.

Im following the tutorial from the forums now point 5 says: 5 - Delete <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE, which is easy enough but then it goes onto say
6 - Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.03 downgrader ZIP to
the memory stick (ANYWHERE IN PARTICULAR????)

7 - Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. The 1.50 update can be
located here for download Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP! (I thought i deleted this file in step 5 or is it the UPDATE folder in MS_ROOT from step 6.

Very complicated

Hope that helped.

i wouldnt recommend purchasing off ebay unless your ready to dish out $70-$80 for a game that you can rent or purchase for $10-$20...They really arent as hard to find as people say.

Anyways...

Copy the contents of the folder MS_ROOT from the 3.03 downgrader ZIP to
the memory stick (ANYWHERE IN PARTICULAR????)

Well, inside the ms_root folder you'll find a file entitled psp. you'll paste that in the same location that your psp file folder is already located. when it asks if you would like to overwrite, you click yes.

7 - Unzip the 1.50 update to a temporary folder. The 1.50 update can be
located here for download Rename the EBOOT.PBP to
UPDATE.PBP and copy it to <pspdrive>:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/ . DO NOT
OVERWRITE PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP! (I thought i deleted this file in step 5 or is it the UPDATE folder in MS_ROOT from step 6.

you did delete it. however the file folder that you just pasted in step 6 has another file named eboot.pbp. So just rename the 1.50 file it states to download to update.pbp and you shouldnt run into any problems.

Cheers form your help guys. Final step now. Which custom fireware will i need for n64 emu. Is that a simple install and will i need to the play the games in recovery mode.??

You don't need a fireware to play n64 emulators. But you can use any custom firmware to play a n64 emulator. All you need is to upgrade to any firmware from Dark_Alex (They end in OE, open edition, ie. 3.03OE would be a custom firmware and if you see 3.03OE-C then that would be the latest version of 3.03OE) the n64 emulator and the rom of any game you want to play. Then you copy the folders to the GAME directory on your psp's memory stick and go to the Game menu on the xmb and run the emulator! recovery mode is specifically for well, recovery and some settings such as xmb customization, or enabling a option to hide the corrupt icon on some files.

O and personally I use 3.40OE-A, since it is the latest version out and yea. However others may say 3.03OE-C is the best. So whichever one you want you can use.
