[PSP] gpSP core does not work on real PSP-1000 #154

Open ItachiSan opened 3 years ago

ItachiSan commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I've been trying to run gpSP via RetroArch with no success. As the regular gpSP does indeed work, I would like to have/provide help in order to solve the situation.

I've tried RetroArch v1.9.10 with libretro/gpsp@401adca6ae04c38255483772834a997beb6ec25b on my PSP-1000 without any success.

As I've standalone gpSP running as it should and this fork of the emulator seems quite alive, I believe I will have more success having an emulator running via RetroArch than as in https://github.com/libretro/TempGBA-libretro/issues/3.

Please tell me what is needed for debugging and I will help. 😄

Aha! This must be an issue with the memory limits, since on my PSP3000 works (but it has 64MB of RAM). AFAIK the only difference between the two devices are the RAM amount and a VFPU bug (which I assume... won't be the culprit). Could you please try older versions of retroarch and see if you find a working one? That could help a lot to nail down the issue :) Thanks!

I tried downloading all of the stable releases, because those were the ones I found; later tonight I will do the tests 😄

All the following tests use RetroArch v1.9.10.

gpSP from v1.9.8 (b61bec2) **Reports: *"No core available"* for *.gba* files**

gpSP from v1.9.6 (3d87ec) **Reports: *"No core available"* for *.gba* files**

I can test even older versions, but I assume GBA support was not working then. One important thing to mention: while I changed the gpsp PBP, I kept all the rest the same of 1.9.10.

Hi @davidgfnet, any progress? Or do you need any more input?

davidgfnet commented 1 year ago

I have been using my japanese psp 1000 lately to test and debug, and it has worked well for me. Is this still an issue for you? Does it only happen with big ROMs (over 16MB essentially)?

ItachiSan commented 1 year ago

Hi, didn't get the notification until now. I can verify as soon as I come back from holidays.

Another report of PSP1000 trouble from a user on GBATemp -

PSP 1000 ARK-4 4.20.62

2023-08-28_RetroArch nightly

I tried the two cores that are available :

mGBA - "works" really really really slow

gpSP v0.91 188887e - just crashes, psp shutting down

gba_bios was in the system folder (if it's even needed) Is this core not working on psp 1000 models (32mb ram)?

I am verifying which game was tried and if games of other sizes can be tried as suspect maybe a memory size issue.
