Connect your PSP to a PC via USB or use a card reader. Navigate to: /PSP/GAME/

You can remap all six Neo-Geo buttons (A, B, C, D, plus Start and Select) to any PSP button. The analog stick can be used as a D-pad alternative, which is a godsend for King of Fighters’ special moves.

MVSPSP 2.3.5 is not the newest, nor the shiniest, nor the most feature-packed emulator in the world. But for PSP owners who want to carry the entire Neo·Geo arcade library in their pocket, with near-perfect speed and sound, it remains unbeaten.

Whether you’re revisiting Metal Slug for a 15-minute burst or grinding KOF ’98 combos on a long commute, this emulator delivers. Follow the installation steps above, tune your settings, and you’ll experience what thousands of homebrew fans discovered over a decade ago: the best portable Neo·Geo experience ever made.

Long live MVSPSP 2.3.5.

Unlike a real arcade cab, MVSPSP allows you to save your progress at any moment. Version 2.3.5 improved save state reliability across different firmware versions (from 5.00 M33 to 6.60 PRO-C). Additionally, high scores are automatically written to the memory stick, so your bragging rights endure.

Solution: Avoid using save states while the game is loading or during heavy sprite animation. Use in-game saves (memory card) for games that support them. Update to the latest version of your custom firmware.

To get the absolute best experience from MVSPSP 2.3.5, apply these advanced settings.
