If you recall playing the classic DOS-based Tyrian on the PC platform back in the day, developer Denis Televny has ported it to fw1.50 PSP for you to enjoy "on-the-go" shmup action anytime anywhere...

Here's the link to d/l Tyrian to your PSP:

It's a compressed 6.72MB file -- enjoy Tyrian on your PSP fellow shmuppers...

You might recall that Denis is the same guy who did the fw1.50 PSP port of Kenta Cho's Noiz2sa shmup for the PC platform a while back...very good shmup port indeed!

I'll check it out and see how it plays on the ol' PSP... ^_~

For Kaspal,

It's good to from another fellow shmupper who like the ol' classic PC shmup title of Tyrian...ain't it cool to be able Tyrian to play on your PSP nowdays? ^_~

Tyrian 2000 was stellar in my book as well when it first came out for the PC platform -- could that be ported for the PSP also? Deniska's da man when it comes porting some the classic PC shmups to the PSP... ^_~

How well do the neo/cps emulators run on the PSP? I just bought a PSP yesterday and have been enjoying castlevania - but I also picked up gradius and if I can find it I'll get metal slug.

I'd love to downgrade it to play some arcade games - but how's the speed?

I like the carrot ship you get after you beat the game

The speed for those emulators is excellent... definitely one of the better emulators on the PSP!

the CPS1&2 and NeoGeo emus runs almost perfect on the PSP, unless the games are the latest neogeo or something...

now, for metal slug... even tho, the pack that was officially released has some things that i dont like, its pretty much worth gettin the Metal Slug Anthology... comes with every metal slug that was released in the arcades (1-6)...

now, theres no need to downgrade anymore... if you use the exploits recently discovered, you can install the latest CFW w/o the need to go to FW 1.5 in order to do so.

enjoy the PSP, and welcome to the group of PSP Homebrew users.

yeh i played the crappy gba version without sound and the equally crappy gbc version which were unfinished, and i don't think i ever played past the 1st level on either

tyrian used to be sooo badass back in the day ... but it's just hard to play after playing cave games. i might give it another try on my lunchbreak at work sometime though

Deniska just recently released a patch to update to version 0.6 of Tyrian for PSP -- just replace the old EBoot with the new one in v0.6 and you're all set...

Here's the link to d/l it:

http://dl.qj.net/OpenTyrian-v0.6-(patch ... /catid/195
This patch will increase the game's overall speed 10% over the v0.5 release of Tyrian for PSP... ^_~

Is this conversion any good? I don't own a PSP yet, but I'm thinking about buying one w/ Christmas money. This would be a rather large incentive for me (assuming the port is good) because I'm a HUGE Tyrian fanboy.

From what I'm reading, it's still not quite at 100% yet.

If you're buying a new PSP (especially if it's the newer Slim & Lite model), you'll need access to a Pandora Battery & Magic Memory Stick to enable homebrew through custom firmware (CFW). You can make them yourself if you have access to an original PSP with CFW, though. You can get a Datel TOOL battery, which is essentially the same as a Pandora Battery, but you'll still need a CFW PSP to make the Magic Memory Stick...

or you could buy an already CFW'ed PSP, and avoid all the hassle of doin it yourself (if its a Slim&Lite model... since the FAT one its pretty easy to reprogram).

Good to know, I certainly don't want to brick a new PSP Slim!
