Instructions Installation
--------------------------

Checklist of things need to get PSPUAE running
----------------------------------------------
1. PSPUAE (latest Release)
2. The correct PSPUAE version for your Firmware (i.e. 1.50 or CFW_SLIM)
3. A working Amiga Kickstart ROM (Any version, also they CANT be oversized (Amiga Forever))
4. Some .adf files

*NOTE:-

Now compatible with all (Homebrew capable) PSP`s
PSPUAE WORKS FINE WITH SLIM PSP (AS ITS ALREADY IN USER MODE).

Alot of running problems can be caused by either corrupt MS or
read-only files (simply right click folder and untick read-only).

Also you need atleast a working Kickstart or PSPUAE will fail to work
Another thing to watch out for, is PSP plugins, some of them cause alot
of Homebrew not to work. We have come across this before.

It seems that the 1.50 Kernel doesn't like the error message system,
so if your using the 1.50 version, PSPUAE will crash rather than give
you an error message, this is normal. We recommend using the CFW_SLIM
version if your on Custom Firmware.

With the new Cycle Unit option, there is one possible side effect. If you
have it set to 512 Cycles and load a config that has it set to 256, then
this may cause PSPUAE to freeze. This shouldnt happen, as we have told it
to restart PSPUAE if it hits this problem and therefore avoiding the problem
*

Unzip PSPUAE 0.72.
inside the zip you will find 2 folders called CFW_SLIM and V1.50.

it should work.

**WARNING**
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will also need to have a VALID Amiga ROM dump file,
you will have to find this yourself.

*NOTE:- If you do not have a Kick.ROM / Working Kick.ROM,
then PSPUAE use the next available Kick.ROM from the list below.
If no Kick.ROM is found PSPUAE will then return to the PSP XMB Menu.

If you change to another KickRom while using PSPUAE and its missing,
it will display a message and then continue to use Kick13.rom.

They should be named as follows:-
DONT include the writing in the ( ) when naming your Kick.ROM's.

KickStart 1.0 = kick10.rom (A1000)
KickStart 1.1 = kick11.rom (A1000)
KickStart 1.2 = kick12.rom (A500 - A1000)
KickStart 1.3 = kick13.rom (A500 - A1000 - A2000 - CDTV)
KickStart 2.0 = kick20.rom (A3000)
KickStart 2.04 = kick204.rom (A500+ - A3000)
KickStart 2.05 = kick205.rom (A600HD)
KickStart 3.0 = kick30.rom (A1200 - A4000)
KickStart 3.1 = kick31.rom (A1200 - A4000 - CD32)

These should be placed in the following folder:-
