GpSP



gpSP (game play SP) is a Game Boy Advance emulator, made by Exophase, for use with the Sony PlayStation Portable and GP2X video game systems. There have been ports to iPod the iOS, Maemo, Symbian and many others.

The PSP version runs most commercial games at full speed, however some still have problems from minor or severe glitches, while others are very slow. The GP2X version is similar to the PSP one, but typically slower. Unlike VisualBoyAdvance, which high-level emulates the GBA BIOS, gpSP requires a GBA BIOS file in order to operate. Due to copyright reasons, this BIOS cannot be included with the emulator by Exophase, and users must dump it on their own using a Game Boy Advance flash cartridge. Some games do not need the BIOS file to play, however most do.

To date, gpSP has proven to be the most efficient, compatible and widely used of all GBA emulators for the PSP, GP2X.

Exophase has stopped working on the PSP version of GpSP, in favor of the GP2X and Pandora versions of gpSP. Future versions of gpSP will be closed source due to the constant third-party re-release of gpSP against Exophase's wishes.

Key configuration
To configure the keys, one should edit the conf.gpsp, localised on the gpSP game folder. The keys examples are on the file conf_ps.gpsp. Ascii codes table for you to know which numbers the keys are refered to.

For example, if you wish to make the "a" button on your keyboard avaible for the game, you will see in the list, that "a" lowercase is 97. Then, write 97 on place of the key you wish. It is important to note that it must be the lowercase code. You might use any text editor you wish, such as leafpad.
