PPSSPP options explained

[TheDax]

Fast Memory defaults to on now because for a lot of games, it's actually not that unstable anymore. Mipmapping is off, because it can cause graphics glitches when it's on (or it did in the past).

Anyway, as of v0.9.6-18-g5a8e12c, an option's been added which lets you change the emulated PSP's firmware version. The only real reason to change it is to be able to run homebrew that check for specific firmware versions, but it was a simple enough thing to add. Commercial games don't care what firmware version you have, as long as the functionality they require exists in the kernel/HLE.

Here's how to use it:

1. Under SystemParam, you'll likely notice an option called PSPFirmwareVersion. By default it's "150", meaning firmware version 1.50/1,50. Simply remove the decimal marker from the firmware version and add it after the equals sign. For example, if you want to emulate 5.50, simply write it like this:

Code:

[SystemParam]
PSPFirmwareVersion = 550

Or, if you want to emulate 3.71:

Code:

[SystemParam]
PSPFirmwareVersion = 371

The highest you should probably go is 660, for 6.60.
