Igpsp/roms
From wikiPodLinux
This is a list of tested GBA roms, and how well they work with igpSP. Feel free to add roms to this page.
*UPDATE* Please re-test all roms with Keripo's latest build of igpSP. Also make sure to clearly state the correct emulation speeds in comparison to an actual full-speed emulator (e.g. computer's VBA, PSP's gpSP or GP2X's gpSP). In otherwords, please only post correct speed percentages AFTER you have compared the performance with an actual full-speed emulator.
Also make sure to have an updated 'game_config.txt' in the same location as the igpSP binary. The 'game_config.txt' file contains information that will make some games work while speeding up others.
The table is in alphabetical order. Please keep this way!
