• Run from the PSP “Game” menu

Firmware v2.0 users:

• Unpack the c64psp zipfile
• Copy the “c64psp___1” folder to the /PSP/GAME folder on your memorystick (you might want to rename this folder, e.g. “c64psp”)
• Run with EBoot Loader 8.5

Usage

Once c64psp has started you can press the START button for a quick reminder of the various controls. Press SELECT to reset the emulator and whilst holding L and R, press the START button to exit c64psp.

Loading Games

To load a game, press L to display image selection screen. Use the dpad to highlight the image you would like to load and press “X” to autoload. Programs can also be loaded by returning to the emulator after highlighting and using the Virtual Keyboard to enter normal C64 commands.

Screen Mode

Whilst on the image selection screen, pressing TRIANGLE will toggle which joystick port is emulated and “O” will change the screen mode. The following screen modes are supported:

2. Stretched with horizontal and vertical borders
3. Stretched with vertical borders
4. Stretched with no borders

Virtual Keyboard

Some games may require keyboard input. Whilst in-game, press the R button to display the Virtual Keyboard. The highlighted key can be changed using the dpad and pressed with “X”. Press SQUARE for a shifted version of the key. Move the VK using the analog stick. Press the R button again to hide the VK.
