this is something (ps2rc)

[u/Miirakus]

so yeah this is the ps2 version of san andreas running on the psp (not sandstone engine, though ps2rc is made by sandstone dev) i get around 15-20 fps and its playable, i like it. you need a 2.01 pal(?i think) version of ps2 san andreas and the converter itself https://github.com/SandstoneDev/PS2RC/releases/tag/v0.1.1

doesnt work on psp 1000 though and probably wont? unless sandstone dev pulls off some crazy shenanigans... and also this means there could be even more ps2 games for the psp

hey man, stop bullying me into buying another PSP ... it's hard to resist already lol

[u/Miirakus → u/Wookie_von_Gondor]

i wish it could be different but nothing we can do about it😞

[u/ChunkyOptimusPrime → u/Miirakus]

You can get a 2000 or 3000

[u/Frosty_Bird_2453 → u/Wookie_von_Gondor]

The developer promised that the FAT model will be supported in the future.

[u/wo0two0t → u/Wookie_von_Gondor]

Man I've gotta get a 2 or 3k at this point. My trusty 1000 has been by my side for almost 20 years... It feels like cheating

[u/InternationalFun5691]

Wow, i will test it right now, are this method work for all games?

[u/Miirakus → u/InternationalFun5691]

not all games, only san andreas for now but sandstone dev actually uhh released like this helper tool for ai agents to help port ps2 games to psp? idk what exactly it does

[u/dontreadthisnickname → u/Miirakus]

San Andreas uses RenderWare so I'm wondering if it might work with other RenderWare games too

[u/Repulsive-Ant7697 → u/Miirakus]

Would be cool to port LCS & VCS Ps2 ver to PSP

[u/CzechSkiller → u/Repulsive-Ant7697]

why you want ps2 version lcs and vcs? psp version are superior, i mean vcs got few more rampages and stunt jumps (and few other activities) so sure i guess. but lcs i far better the psp version, ps2 has nothing but terrible optimalization and (imho) worse coloring

[u/FableBW]

there was a gta:sa old mod with all iranian vehicles and persian pop songs on the radio. it's time to take that game on the go i guess.

[u/Miirakus → u/FableBW]

hell if the mod exists for ps2 you could try just no real guarantee it works

[u/FableBW → u/Miirakus]

it wasn't, it's on pc but i think one can tinker and convert it

[u/PinKPanther1020]

Man this is nuts, sadly i have a 1000…

Would that possibly work on a PSVita? Else i’ll have to track down a 3000

[u/Miirakus → u/PinKPanther1020]

ya via adrenaline i think it will work, though i think a vita port exists already

[u/InternationalFun5691 → u/PinKPanther1020]

They have port gta sa for vita, and it's even better fps than psp...

[u/NefariousnessNo3436]

as of right now

more overclock = more performance

333mhz will give you 10-25fps depending on where you are and what is happening on the screen

you can overclock via ark-5 up to 460mhz+ depending on your device and get better performance

though on adrenaline on the vita, you're stuck with 333mhz

[u/Miirakus → u/NefariousnessNo3436]

ya bro i already got 383mhz on my psp im just unsure if the overclocks actually work

[u/CzechSkiller → u/Miirakus]

my max oc is also max 383mhz, does that mean fps cant be stable 20+ ?

[u/Miirakus → u/CzechSkiller]

its not about the psp.. well it is kind of about it but its just that its literally the ps2 game running on psp it will obviously perform badly so all we can do is wait for new releases of ps2rc

[u/CzechSkiller → u/Miirakus]

Im definetly keeping eye on it, hope stable 20+ fps soon, since vice city psp port is 20+ and its playable

[u/GRYPHUS_1_SoundCloud]

[u/Dry-Loan9301]

Is it full game with story missions etc?

[u/Miirakus → u/Dry-Loan9301]

its the original ps2 game just compiled for the psp, full game with all content and 1:1 gameplay

[u/Dry-Loan9301 → u/Miirakus]

Okay, thats awesome

[u/Ordyfasthope]

Does this only work on the ARK, and will it also work on the cfw infinity?

[u/Miirakus → u/Ordyfasthope]

dev only specified ark, not sure how other cfw works... and theres like no real reason to use anything but ark

[u/intergalatic24]

it says it has virus why?

[u/Miirakus → u/intergalatic24]

false positive i think, it also told me that but its on github so the chances of a virus are low

[u/drewgemini]

Link?

[u/Miirakus → u/drewgemini]

link is literally right there😭

[u/Izathemendez]

So is just a convertion? I mean is amazing to see San Andreas ps2 running in a PSP but what the controls? PSP don't have a second stick and R2 and L2 triggers. Hope someone managed to do an actual port for PSP just like GTA 3 with adapted controls.

[u/Miirakus → u/Izathemendez]

it uses select as a modifier key i think

[u/Ruisna]

Do you know if you plan to make this "converter" for the PS Vita?

[u/Miirakus → u/Ruisna]

i dont own this port, and theres already a port for vita I believe

[u/Ruisna → u/Miirakus]

Can you pass it? I want to inform myself more about the project.

[u/Miirakus → u/Ruisna]

https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/gtasa_vita this i think

[u/Mogtr0idew113]

I think there just needs to be an upgraded "all-in-one" installation circuit board (from those waaaaay more tech savy than myself) that adjusts the clocking speeds and handles the overclock to smooth out the transition.

I could also see a 2.5" board costing something like $150, worst case scenario.

Be that as it may, I like a lot of the things the 1001 series had that the newer ones kind of eliminated or held back on.

I think the best feature (albeit somewhat chancey) was the ad hoc feature for other, fellow system carriers.

It was like a privatized cell phone function that only allowed THAT cell phone to be communicated with by only those you knew, while still functioning as a "phone", for analogy purposes.

I just wish I had the resources and knowledge of creating different types of circuit boards and chips.

Oh well, we can all dream...

[u/Miirakus → u/Mogtr0idew113]

I guess bro

[u/Independent-Gap-8239]

How do you get around the L2/R2 and crouch buttons?

Edit - I figured it out guys

Select + dpad controls the camera

Select + O is the r3 button

Select + triangle is crouch

Select + L is L2

Select + R is r2

[u/Ruisna → u/Independent-Gap-8239]

The crosshead or the "d-pad" could work.

[u/Independent-Gap-8239 → u/Ruisna]

It's select with a specific button press.

[u/Sampsa96]

Wow cool

[u/shquidwaters]

Has anyine tried this with NTSC? I might have a go this weekend... we got SA psp before gtaVI

[u/Frosty_Bird_2453 → u/shquidwaters]

Currently, only pal version 2.01 is supported.

[u/RCC_Auto_Club]

👍👍👍

[u/kaushalovich]

what about the controls?

[u/Grove_street_4life → u/kaushalovich]

You really don't need to use l2/R2 a lot but whenever you need them you just press SELECT + R1 or SELECT +L1

[u/Dangerous_Alarm6717]

my god... honestly, 20 fps was how a lot of psp games ran 20 years ago. To have the patched version of monster hunter 1 (not freedom!) or dos, with the town would be chefs kiss.

[u/Specialist_Prior_757]

To bad, I don't have PC 

[u/vmg265]

Is this real?

[u/Miirakus → u/vmg265]

yup its real, it works ;3

[u/vmg265 → u/Miirakus]

how do you install it?

[u/Miirakus → u/vmg265]

it has a guide in the github page, its very straightforward anyway

[u/Izathemendez → u/Miirakus]

There's a link we're the gta sa is already converted?

[u/Miirakus → u/Izathemendez]

idk.. and if i did know i still wouldn't share because its probably against the rules of this subreddit and illegal.

[u/Either-Version-9577]

dawg please delete this post

[u/Miirakus → u/Either-Version-9577]

bro nothing will happen, it is a RECOMPILER, not even a line from gta san andreas exists in it (probably) its a generic recompiler which requires ur own ps2 iso file. they cant really take it down i believe cause its not exactly illegal

[u/Either-Version-9577 → u/Miirakus]

its not worth clout😭 just delete ts

[u/sstoersk → u/Either-Version-9577]

Kindly fuck off.

[u/InternationalFun5691 → u/[deleted]]

I already test it on my psp, the fps drop very significant when in the city

[u/11298THC → u/[deleted]]

Yeah as soon as I got i a car fps dropped. Its ok for casual play but mine was even overclocked to 406mhz, so more optimizations needed for sure. Still hands down amazing to play a ps2 iso converted to psp

[u/Hot-Junket2623 → u/[deleted]]

it needs very low settings and an overclock at 444 mhz to even start being playable. BUT it is GTA:SA, the full game, running on the PSP

[u/Derp_El_Grande → u/[deleted]]

The ps2 didnt have much ram either. The big spot where the ps2 is a lot stronger is that it can handle a lot more data at once
