My SRB2 PSP Testing (Spoilers k?)

[akirahedgehog]

I've tried playing every single player map to determine what works and what does not and I'll tell you what I know. This testing was done on a PSP-1001. I had to take pictures with my camera because there doesn't appear to be any screenshot plugins that work with 5.50GEN firmware. Special thanks goes to BluePhoenix for giving me save files.

General Bugs:
Water - Being fully submerged will cause the game to crash requiring a hard reset to be done with the PSP. This bug was also in the 1.09.4 PSP build.


Green Flower Zone 1: Operates fine with exception of the water issue. It's laggy but that's understandable.

Green Flower Zone 3: Runs fine.

Deep Sea Zone 3: Works until you go in the water, so your doomed...

Egg Rock Zone 3: Works almost perfectly. The framerate is perfect except for a major slowdown when the center platform is broken because of the large amount of sprites on screen I'm guessing.

Mario Koopa Blast Zone 1: Appears to work fine. It's really ugly though.

Mario Koopa Blast Zone 2 & 3: Confirmed by PSI Hedgehog Chris to be working.(Thanks!)

No other single player levels will load, they will just crash the console. There is no real reason in testing multiplayer maps.

UPDATE 1: New screenshots for GFZ 1 & 3, ERZ 3, and MKB 1.

Holy crap how did you do that?!

*Facepalm*

THE PORTS SECTION + HOMEBREW.

You'd think this would be common info...

Something to note, the entirety of the game is for the most part unplayable. You'll get about 5fps running through GFZ1, with no music and very quiet sound effects.

Akira, for screenshot plugins, check out CWCheat. It is a cheating device, yes, but it has screenshot functionality that can be mapped to any button and saves to ms0:\PSP\PHOTOS.

Will it change from playing it from a PSP phat to a PSP slim 3000?

The PSP-3000 could possibly make it go a little bit faster, the extra RAM really helps, especially when drawing a lot of sprites on the screen.

I like what I see here. Hopefully one day SRB2 will work fully on the PSP.

I tried out Mario Koopa Blast Zone Acts 2 and 3, and yes, they do indeed work. Pic of Act 3 up soon (it didn't hit me until after I passed Act 2 that I could e-mail pics from my phone <_<")

EDIT: Act 3 (It was dark)

EDIT2: This was tested on a PSP-Slim 2001 with 5.00 M33-6, if that helps.

Probably when PSP GO comes out.

Nice work, Akira. Are you clocking the PSP at 333mhz, though? That'd obviously give a nice boost to the performance.

 

[Cue]

Probably when PSP GO comes out.

Except none of us would waste our money on that cheap looking brick.

Nice to see this is back in action, akira, if you can get it running at a decent speed then you are pretty damn awesome.

 

[NeonSynth]

Well, it runs fine for me with 15-17/20 FPS. Except on that Time Attack screen--there's 0/20 FPS. Other than that after you have finished some levels, they'll crash. Oh and maybe I'll post some screenies, too--with CWcheat. :P
Also, shame that there's no music. :(

 

[Varren]

Wow, this is nice.

I need to try this build if anyone has it.

EDIT: Found it

I don't really get it. How can a PSP stand a game like final fantasy:Crisis core but can't stand a 10 year old game? O_o

Oh, is this SRB2 2.0.2?

 

[Kopper]

Well, obviously, Crisis Core was optimized for the PSP, SRB2 2.0.2 wasn't.

I'll be uploading some good screenshots soon and I updated the first post to add PSI Hedgehog Chris's confirmation of MKB 2 & 3 workng.

Mario Koopa Blast Zone 2 & 3: Confirmed by PSI Hedgehog Chris to be working.(Thanks!)

No problem, I felt like I had to do something useful around here.

 

[akirahedgehog]

I got some good screenshots now.

Wow, this is nice.

EDIT: Found it

I can't find it, where's it at?

There you go, sir! ;)

Some. Minimal at best.

If someone can compile it with PSPGL and force -opengl on boot, it is certainly possible that the hardware renderer will work (with 2.0.2). I might look in to it.
