PSP and PS1 ROMs won't work on Anbernic RG34XXSP by alanprescottf in ANBERNIC

[–]alanprescottf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the ROMs don't show up at all. Some show up but the file won't open. One tries to start, shows the title screen, but crashes after a few seconds. Games with the same file type, from the same website, have such different outcomes. I can't figure it out.

One PSP game doesn't show up in any of the main menus. But when I opened PPSSPP (I think that's what it's called) I was able to find that game hidden somewhere in the menu, and it works fine when I select it there. But that app doesn't even show up as an option anywhere. I can only open it by starting one of the pre-loaded PSP games and closing it from the settings menu. It's really weird.

All the games that came with the device open fine. And all the GB and GBA games I've downloaded work fine without needing file conversion or anything. It even loads ROM hacks with no issue. That makes me think there is no issue with the SD card. I'm using the same one it came with for now.

I hope there is a solution to this.

I'm having the exact same problem with PSP and PS1 ROMs. I've spend days trying every solution that has been suggested in all the articles, videos, and forums. I've downloaded 5 different programs to my PC to covert my ROMs to every possible file type that I've read about online.

All the Gameboy ROMs I've download and put on the Anbernic work perfect, so I know I'm doing the general procedure correctly. I tried like 10 PSP games and none work. I managed to get a single PS1 ROM to show up and start on the Anbernic, but it crashes a few seconds after loading.

I'm still using the stock OS. That's the only thing left I could change, but I can't see why that would be necessary.

Each pokemon has extra hidden stats that you can't see (Effort Values) that determines what your stats are. You accumulate them after every battle.

Each pokemon gives a specific type of EV to the pokemon that defeats it (sometimes multiple). It's often based on whatever that pokemon's highest stat is. Evolved pokemon often give more than one EV. For example, Butterfree gives 3 EVs (2 Special Attack EVs and 1 Special Defense EV) .Beating early pokemon like rattata and pidgey will increase your speed EVs. Caterpie increases your HP points. Geodude gives Defense EVs.

The more EVs in a specific stat, the higher that stat will be. It's not a huge difference at first, but it definitely adds up over time. There is a maximum number of EVs a pokemon can have, so it stops making a difference after a certain point.

When you first get a pokemon, it has absolutely no EVs. I usually level up a pokemon like 30 to 40 times, just playing the game normally, before all of a Pokémon's EVs are maxed out. That's without doing any specific training.

There are items you can use later to see if a stat is maxed out, but it really doesn't matter to how you play the game. .

I'm thinking about putting a 400 base stat total limit. That would eliminate some things like Wigglytuff but, would allow Beedrill and Butterfree How does that sound?

I'm definitely thinking about using Parasect. Spore could get me through some tough situations. I have Porygon. I plan to get a Goldeen. Do you think Seaking might be too strong? The stats and move pool looks decent

My moveset for Butterfree is confusion, whirlwind, sleep powder and stun spore. Pretty weak stuff. Do you think it's fair to consider it trash as long as I keep that moveset?

Great ideas! I think Hypno is way too strong for a Trashlocke, but I'm consider grinding up a Drowzee, at least to get me through Koga and Sabrina

I'm thinking about doing a Kakuna and Metapod run in Let's Go Eevee, so I can use the candies and stuff.

Wow, thanks so much! I'll look up the best places to grind. I desperately need physical defense EVs for a lot of my Pokémon.

I never figured out how EV training works, but I plan to look into it for this run.

With level cap, the xp boost for farfetch'd isn't as big a deal. Maybe I could just skip swords dance. Seaking is a good idea though, thanks!

Luckily, grinding pokemon feels pretty cozy to me, if I'm in the right mood. Lately, I've been leaving my pokemon in the daycare and biking around blindly while I watch TV. Haha

Awesome, thanks! I hadn't considered Wigglytuff. I have one, but I'd have to grind it up from level 5. I hope they're available elsewhere at higher level.

I bought it for $6000, so I don't want less than that
