About FrogGBA PSP-1000
The menu is split into Game, Screen, Performance, Controls and System tabs, switched with L and R. Quickplay opens on your last game with a Continue button that resumes its auto save, and it can be turned off in System.
The interface is in English or French, with three bitmap fonts to pick from. There's a sharp bilinear filter for zooms like 150%, an optional LCD grid, extra clock steps up to 423 MHz and a bigger recompiler cache. Overlays, aspect modes, save states and analog stick support come from FrogGBA.
- Copy the PSP folder to the root of the Memory Stick. Custom firmware is needed.
- Put your own gba_bios.bin in PSP/GAME/FrogGBA/ and your games in PSP/GAME/FrogGBA/roms/.
The current build is a beta, and the author has run it on a PSP-1000.
