User guide
Key mappings
You can switch between different mappings in the emulator window (Standard, L-Trigger and R-Trigger).
- Standard mapping.
- Danzeff On-Screen Keyboard (by Danzel and Jeff Chen).
- Customizable IR Keyboard (from the file pspirkeyb.ini).
Load Rom files (ROM, BIN)
Put your rom file (with .rom or .bin file extension) on your PSP Memory Stick in the roms directory. Choose Load Rom in the main menu and select the rom image to load in the emulator.
You can use the virtual keyboard in the file requester menu to choose the first letter of the game you search (if you have a lot of games in the same folder).
Load Key Mapping files (KBD)
The default keyboard mapping between PSP Keys and VECTREX keys is not suitable for all games, and you can write your own mapping file to overcome the issue.
Edit a file with the .kbd extension (with any text editors) and put it in the kbd directory. Sample and syntax can be found in default.kbd.
The keyboard mapping file can be loaded in the main menu. If the keyboard filename is the same as the rom file then when you load this file, the corresponding keyboard file is automatically loaded.
Use the Keyboard menu to edit, load and save your keyboard mapping files inside the emulator.
The Save option save the KBD file in the kbd directory using the Game Name as filename. The game name is displayed on the right corner in the emulator menu.
