[INTRODUCTION]
...............................................................................
...............................................................................
JPCSP is a Playstation Portable emulator written in Java for the PC.
The reasons for this choice rely on the portability and flexibility of this
programming language, which makes it much easier to test and apply changes
whenever needed.
This emulator is an open source project. If you want to contribute, check the
links at the bottom of this FAQ.
In this FAQ we intend to explain the multiple functionalities and
architecture of this emulator, as well as list all the needed information to
clarify any possible doubts about it's usage.
Please keep in mind that JPCSP does not support or endorse piracy.

[JPCSP FAQ]
...............................................................................
...............................................................................
1. Getting started:
Be sure to have JRE (Java Runtime Environement) installed in your computer
before attempting to run JPCSP.
NOTE: It is strongly advised that even on a 64-bit OS, you should install the
32-bit JRE release and use JPCSP's 32-bit version, for compatiblity reasons.
If you've downloaded the Windows version, use the batch (.bat) files located
inside JPCSP's main folder (start-windows-x86.bat or start-windows-amd64.bat).
If you've downloaded the Linux version, use the shell script (.sh) files
located inside JPCSP's main folder (start-linux-x86.sh or
start-linux-amd64.sh).
If you've downloaded the MacOSX version, just double click the application
bundle to start JPCSP.
2. Loading/Running applications:
To load an ISO/CSO image, you need to place it under the "umdimages" folder
(this folder can be changed under Options > Configuration > General).
For homebrew, place the application's main folder (which should contain the
EBOOT file) under ms0 > PSP > GAME.
To know which games are currently compatible with the emulator, you can check
JPCSP's forum for the latest news and an updated compatibility list post.
The games tagged as "Encrypted" cannot be loaded by regular means. The only
legal option is to own a PSP and use it to decrypt your own games' boot file.
3. Usage:
The "File" menu allows you to load UMD images (Load UMD), homebrew applications
(Load MemStick), and any other file such as demos (Load File). It also allows
to capture and load the current RAM memory and GPR registers' state to a file,
so it can be used as an additional save option (Save/Load Snapshot).
The "Options" menu contains dedicated settings for "Video" (Rotate and
Screenshot), "Audio" (Mute) and "Controls" features, as well as the
"Configuration" menu.
The "Debug" menu contains all the advanced features of the emulator such as the
logger, the debugger and the memory viewer (see section 5. Advanced features).
The "Cheats" menu allows you to apply cheats to the current application.
The "Language" menu allows you to change the language of the emulator.
The "Help" menu contains the "About" window.
3. Command-Line options:
Usage: java -Xmx512m -jar jpcsp.jar <OPTIONS>
-d, --debugger
-f, --loadfile FILE
-u, --loadumd FILE
-r, --run
4. Requirements:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 32bit or 64bit / Linux 32bit or 64bit / Mac OSX;
- CPU: Pentium 4 and up;
- GPU: Any graphic card supporting OpenGL 2.0 and up;
- Memory: 1GB RAM.
Recommended:
- OS: Windows Vista / Windows 7;
- CPU: Dual core @ 2.5 GHz;
- GPU: Updated graphic card supporting OpenGL;
- Memory: 2GB RAM or more.
5. Advanced features:
- Font Override:
It is possible to override the font used in the log window by editing the
settings.properties file.
You can specify a system font name, such as Arial or a TTF file name.
We suggest Mona for partial Japanese character support.
Alternatively you can install extended language support in Windows from the
Regional Settings in Windows Control Panel, you will need a Windows CD and
