It runs about as well as MasterBoy, but there is no reason to use this outdated, standalone build. MMSPlus is an early version of Brunni’s port of the SMS Plus emulator, before it was merged with his Game Boy emulator to create MasterBoy. Not as impressive as MasterBoy, but still not bad.

The lowest CPU clock setting, 266 MHz, will play Alien Syndrome at full speed. The x1 CPU renderer looks alright, but the GPU modes are all a bit of a blurry mess. There are four video rendering options common to all systems to choose from: one CPU-driven mode, and three for GPU. The downside, in this case, is the lack of any real system-specific settings. Kawamorita)Į was RetroArch before RetroArch: this oddly named creation will play ROMs for a bunch of low-powered systems, Game Gear included. The only change is that some guy altered the title and slapped his name on the release. Games like OutRun will play at full speed, with zero frame skip, with the PSP’s CPU clocked at 150 MHz.Ī reminder: MasterBoy 2.10, EmuMaster 3.10 and the like are not real updates. Just as in Game Boy emulation, MasterBoy is stunningly frugal in its use of system resources. I remember reading that the PSP has an inbuilt hardware function that makes pixel smoothing easy to implement, so maybe that is the reason? Such filters seem to be widespread on PSP emulators. This emulator is also based on SMS Plus, and features a generous amount of screen scaling options, including 2x (which will crop out a bit of the image) and 1.5x.īy default, a smoothing filter is applied to the video renderer, but it can be turned off in the settings. In fact, it might be the best Game Gear emulator for PSP. MasterBoy is well known as a Game Boy emulator, but it can play Game Gear games pretty damn well. The start button on the Game Gear is emulated by pressing L, while the PSP’s actual start button is left unassigned. The only way to change settings such as picture scaling and frame skip is to edit a text file. There is a menu for selecting ROMs, but none for the options. In other words, EmuGG was released in a hurry, and it shows. Even the title of the EBOOT was left as ‘Simple flames’, which is one of the coding samples in the PSP unofficial dev kit. Just like his other emulators, EmuGG only had one, initial revision, with much left unfinished. How did he do with this port of the SMS Plus emulator? The main claim to fame of Consolius in the PSP scene is having created the only Magnavox Odyssey 2 emulator for the system. In this overview, we will look at both dedicated emulators, as well as compatible options.

The Game Gear is basically a portable Master System, and many Master System emulators will run Game Gear ROMS without any issues. Which emulator can negotiate this restriction best, and provide the best PSP experience for this Sega handheld from the 90s? Just like the case of the Game Boy though, the wider aspect ratio of the PSP’s screen sort of gets in the way.

Emulating a handheld on another handheld seems like a good idea - cheaper than a screen mod for the original at any rate.
