Controls

During emulation:

PSP controls	Emulated controls
D-pad up/down/left/right	Keyboard up/down/left/right
Analog stick up/down/left/right	Joystick up/down/left/right
[ ] (square)	Joystick button A
X (cross)	Joystick button B
O (circle)	Spacebar
[R]	Show virtual keyboard
[L] + [R]	Return to the emulator menu

When the virtual keyboard is on:

PSP controls	Function
Directional pad	select key
[ ] (square)	press key
O (circle)	hold down/release key
^ (triangle)	release all held keys

Only certain keys can be held down.

Keyboard mappings can be modified for each game. Button configuration changes are not automatically retained after a mapping is modified. To save changes, press X (cross) after desired mapping is configured. To set the mapping as the default mapping, press [ ] (square).

Autoloading

Caprice32 PSP can be configured to automatically load a saved game whenever a new game is loaded via the Game tab. To do this, specify one of the save state slots as the Autoload slot (Options tab). If a saved game exists in the specified slot, it will be automatically loaded.

Loading Disk and Tape Images

To load a disk image or a tape image without resetting the system, use the Disk drive / Tape drive option listed in the System tab.

Disk Image Saving

To save a modified save state image, navigate to the System tab, highlight the Disk drive option and press [ ] (square). Only uncompressed (unzipped) disk images can be updated.

Known Issues

While the version of the emulator is 4.2.0, the rendering routines are from version 4.1.0. The latest renderer is unoptimized and performs poorly on the PSP. When the renderer is updated, Caprice32 PSP will be updated to reflect the change.

Compiling

To compile, ensure that zlib and libpng are installed, and run make:

make -f Makefile.psp

Before compiling Caprice32, compile the PSP library by entering the psp/mypsp directory and running make.
