As you all may or may not know, Hudson Soft made an emulator for their Hudson Best Collections. A cool guy on maxconsoles made a program some time back that aided in injecting pcengine cd isos into the PC Engine Best Collection Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection.
However, for quite some time, the process was not quite clear, and due to some issues with his program, it wouldn't work unless you typed things in exactly the right way. If nothing else, you have to download at least 5 different programs. I took the time to compile all the necessary programs to make it work, and made a batch file in the hopes it could be done with minimal hassle and guesswork. There are no illegal files contained in this archive (at least as far as I know) You'll need to provide your own iso from your own legitimately bought copy of PC Engine Best Collection Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection for this to work. The batch file isn't perfect, and I still plan to implement some more features, but it gets the job done.
Why should anyone care? Because this quite possibly the best pc engine emulator available for any portable system. The existing homebrew emulators are quite lacking, and none of them have been updated for years. At least not for the psp. Most of the cd games people have tried play great with full audio, full framerate, and little to no glitching. Right now the package I put together sets up cd games, but it could probably be configured for hu card games as well.
Let me know how well this works for you. Please read the readme, especially the note about .net frameworks 2.0 causing problems:
Version 4.1 Full zip: http://www.2shared.com/file/8211643/29fb7692/PCE41.html Mainly small bugfixes
-
"none of them have been updated for years" actually both of the "main" psp emus have been updated 1-4 times in the last few months. ;) Going to look into this hopefully tonight.

Really? Well I can't say I've been keeping up lately. From what I hear they still have a long ways to go :wink:
Either way, first post updated with newer version :)

Version 3.0 is done, tons of bug fixes (2.2 wouldn't have even run on anyone's computer but mine :P) and implemented injecting up to three games at once.

Thanks man, let me know how it works for you.
Btw if tocfixer is giving you trouble, go ahead and grab V3.6. Might as well grab it anyways as I made a small change to both batch files for the better. Grab V3.6.1 Grab V3.6.2 Update to V3.6.3 :)

Ok folks MAJOR update to 4.0. This will probably be the last release for a bit, as most of the planned functionality has been implemented. As it stands the only really necessary extra that will need to be added is the ability to change the game's id's to prevent different compilations from overwriting old save files for different games.

Removed old versions, as they are essentially useless with 4.1 now ;)
