User guide

Settings

General settings:

• Sound enable - Enable or disable the sound.
• Sound volume boost - Factor to apply to the volume, useful to increase the sound volume on given game.
• Sound frequency - Sound quality, it could be 22k/44k mono/stereo.
• IRDA device - Type of IRDA device connected to PSP (None, Keyboard or Joystick).
• CD audio track - Enable CD audio track support.
• Speed limiter - Limit the speed to a given fps value.
• Skip frame - To skip frame and increase emulator speed.
• Overclock - Useful to increase significantly emulator speed but you may encounter graphical glitches.
• Display fps - Display real time fps value.
• Render mode - Many render modes with different geometry that should cover all games requirements.
• Delta Y - Move the center of the screen vertically.
• Vsync - Wait for vertical signal between each frame displayed.
• Clock frequency - PSP clock frequency.
• CD Clock frequency - PSP clock frequency used when a MP3/CD audio track is played.

Joystick Settings:

• Active Joystick - Joystick player (1 or 2).
• Swap Analog/Cursor - Swap key mapping between PSP Analog and D-Pad.
• Auto fire period - Auto fire period.
• Auto fire mode - Activate/deactive auto fire mode.

IRDA Joy Settings:

• IRDA mode - Type of DB9 device connected to the Irda Joystick box (None, Joystick, Single/Double paddle).
• IRDA debug - Enable/disable debug mode to display data sent by the Irda Joystick box.

Performace

By default the PSP clock frequency is set to 266Mhz and it should be enough for most of all games.

If you run CD-rom games with audio tracks, PSP-Hugo will automatically increase the clock frequency while playing MP3 tracks to 300 Mhz.

Some games such as PC-kid are fullspeed at 222Mhz with overclock parameter set to 32 and using 22Khz mono sound. If you want to save your battery and play longuer it might be a good choice.

CD-Rom games are faster if you disable CD audio track support, so if you encounter speed issue it might be a solution.

If you encounter graphical glitches then you may set Overclock value to 0 and increase the PSP clock frequency for a better emulation experience.
