Jum52 (Jum's A5200 Emulator) is an Atari 5200 emulator for Sony PSP.

The 6502 CPU emulator source is heavily based on a distribution by Neil Bradley, and the POKEY sound emulator is a modified version of Ron Fries POKEY emulator.

Installation

You will need:

• A PSP that can run homebrew software (ie: a PSP with custom firmware).
• Some 16k or 32k Atari 5200 cartridge images ("roms").

Copy the jum52 folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME/.

Copy the cartridge images (.BIN) into ms0:/PSP/GAME/jum52/.

User guide

Game compatibility

Most carts will run. These games give problems:

• Decathlon.
• Mr. Do's Castle (corrupt rom dump).
• Quest for Quintana Roo.
• Rescue on Fractalus.
• Buck Rogers.
• Gyruss.

Joystick Modes

From the Options Menu, select joystick mode by toggling "Controller". You can toggle between using the D-Pad or the Analog Nub as the 5200 joysick.

Pengo control mode is automatically activated when Pengo cart is loaded.

Many games do "auto-calibrating" while you play. Moving the joystick handle in a big circle while chanting "work dammit" usually gets it working OK. Also it sometimes helps if you leave the analog stick in the central position when starting a game.

If you activate joystick mode, and the game does not control as expected, then try reloading the game.

Configuring Jum52

If you get tired of having to change the options in Jum52 every time you run it, then you probably want to set the default options in the jum52.cfg file:

• Make a copy of jum52.cfg (call it "jum52.cfg.bak" or something).
• Edit jum52.cfg with Notepad.
• Set the options as you prefer (valid options are in brackets). Save jum52.cfg.
• Note that "scale" and "fullscreen" options in jum52.cfg have no effect in the PSP version of Jum52.

You can also add mappings for "unknown" 16k roms (e.g. you're writing a homebrew game and you want to test it in Jum52). In this case, take a look at the sample mappings in jum52.cfg. You can get the crc of the rom by running it in Jum52, then looking in the 5200.log file.

Notes

• "voice" emulation (Bezerk/Baseball/etc) not working.
• Mouse and MousePaddle control modes not working.
• Audio working but not great.
• Frameskip is used to get full speed (60 fps).
