Q- Can I play SmashGP on the Computer? A- At this time, NO, only for GP32,and PSP Playstation Portable [with 1.5, 1.0, or Custom Firmware [eg OE, M33, LE] firmware]). (Although, with the Geepee32 Emulator, you may be able to play on PC. Unfortunately it is really slow if it does work)

INSTALLING SMASHGP ON YOUR PSP
Q- Where do I put the game files? A- Everything should be set up from when you downloaded it, but if not everything looks like this:
x:\PSP\GAME\SMASHGP%\EBOOT.PBP \AKAI.MOD \BUDPECUL.MOD \DI2.MOD
\EBOOT.PBP \LCS.MOD \MENU.MOD(THIS
IS THE MUSIC THAT IS PLAYED AT THE START) \NINTENDO.MOD \SMPREFS.DAT \THE_END.MOD
Q- Where do I put the character files? A- All files must be named exactly the same. There should be a .chr file and a folder (inside the folder there should be a .pak file, and maybe some .wav files) Both go in the SmashGP folder as shown in this example,
x:\PSP\GAME\SMASHGP\CHARACTER\CHARACTER.PAK
Q- Where do I put level files? A- Level files don't have to have the same name, but they all need to be placed in the SmashGP folder, just like character files. For Example:
x:\PSP\GAME\SMASHGP\LEVEL.ARN \LEVEL.MOD \LEVEL.BMP (the levels can be named anything) |
Q- When I start SmashGP from my PSP it says Corrupted Data, what's wrong? A1- This could mean that you downloaded the GP32 version and not the PSP version. A2- With 1.5 firmware, one icon is supposed to say corrupted data, and the other has a SmashGP icon, you must keep that corrupted data for SmashGP to work, but when you start the game you must click on the one with the SmashGP icon. A3- You MUST have firmware 1.5, 1.0, or Custom Firmware to play SmashGP. Even with the hen loaders, SmashGP will not work.
Q- SmashGP starts up, but then freezes before the menu, what's wrong? A- The maximum number of characters is 56[may be less or more for some people]. Anymore and your PSP will freeze. Sometimes this number is lower, so it depends on the you characters used.
Q- When I choose a character, it just appears as an invisble square, what wrong? A- All the characters here at SmashGP Archive, ALL work(tested myself). Try deleting the character on your PSP, and then add it again.
Q- A character that was working before, now just appears a static, what's wrong? A1- Just Restart your PSP, and the character should show up now. A2- If not, try deleting the character on your PSP, and then add it again. |
Q-Where is the APPLY button? A- If you can not see the APPLY button when the program is launched, it means your screen resolution is too small. To fix this, Go to your Desktop> Right-Click and go to Properties> Click on the tab that says Settings> Then change your resolution to 1280x720, or higher. If 1280x720, is not available, you must try to find the newest driver for it, or get a monitor, with that resolution.
Q- I've made my character, but he just shows up as static (or a fuzzy square), what's wrong? A1- Make sure the pictures are 8-bit, not 24-bit. Do a Batch conversion/rename in Infanview to change it to 8-bit(256 color). A2- Make sure everything (except sound files) are named EXACTLY the same thing. A3- If you are using Windows 98 (or earlier), it is known for .pak files to be made incorrectly.
Q- My character shows up, but he freezes when I choose him? A- Try to fill out all the moves to prevent the game from freezing.
Q- How do you use the X, and Y stuff? A- X= Horizontal (left and right), Y= Vertical (up and down) To make the character go left, you must make it a negative number, to move right it is a positive number. To make the character go up, you must make it a negative number, to move down it is positve number. Make these numbers in the thousands.
Q- How many hit points can you use? A- Only two.
Q- How many projectiles can you use? A- Only one. Q - Are there any Guides/ Videos for making characters? |
Q- How can I contact You? A- You can contact me at Sousanator[AT]gmail[DOT]com, or the in the forums section.
Q- Can I Link to you on my website? A- Of course you can. Just let me know when you do.
Q- I have made a character/level, can I send it to you? A- Of coarse you can. Just send me an email with your character/level, with a sprite (BMP, GIF, PNG), and a readme file with the characters name, the game it is from, version number, and credit to the sprite sheet ripper. If its a level, please include the name of it, and version number. Also don't forget to tell me who you are, so I can give you proper credit. |
