Installation

It comes with 2 versions (me/cm).

• s9xTYLme - For all PSP models. Not compatible with PSVita, however faster than s9xTYLcm.
• s9xTYLcm - For PSVita with Adrenaline/eCFW ARK/VHBL etc. Works on PSP but slower than s9xTYLme.

To install, unzip archive and copy the folder to /PSP/GAME/ on your PSP.

You can put the rom files anywhere you want, a SAVES subdirectory will be created in your install directory. All savestate files, sram files & jpg snapshots will be written in the SAVES subdirectory.

Note from developer:

Before updating, make sure to backup your SAVES and/or S9XTYLSAVES folders just in case something goes wrong.

User guide

Rendering mode:

• Mode0 - Optimized Snes9x.
• Mode1 - Original Snes9x.
• Mode2 - Hardware accelerated (using PSP's GU).
• Mode3 - Adaptive rendering Mode 2 + Mode 1 (default).
• Mode4 - Adaptive rendering Mode 2 + Mode 0.

This version support nearly all the graphics effects of the Snes accelerated with PSP hardware. Except: offset mode and mode 7. Priority and blending are fully emulated. For the moment a few graphic glitches remain.

Help and Tips:

Some games run faster if Ignore Palette writes and/or Simple Palette writes are enabled on MISC -> Hack/debug menu.

If you get a black screen at loading a game, you can try to disable Speed hacks on MISC -> Hack/debug menu, and then load the game again.
