the gpSP is a gameboy advance emulator originally written by Exophase. And now it’s ported to the Symbian OS! This version is only for S60 5th edition. Symbian^3 users should use gpsp 0.7 for Symbian^3
I head from the users that the game_config.txt from the past works better than the one packaged with 0.6.5. Some say that the Pokemon Fire Red works with this game_config, while it doesn’t work with the one packages in 0.6.5. For me it seems to be working with both game_configs, so I decided to make a new package for you. Does this one work better, do we have better game compatibility, or do you prefer the one packaged with the older 0.6.5? You can reply in the comments section.
What’s new:
- Repacked with new game_config.txt
know issues:
- not working on Symbian^3 based devices such as N8
- It’s a gpsp port, so see the gpsp compatibility list before complaining about non-working ROMs
- the emulator crashes if you try to load a ROM without setting the BIOS
- there are some limitations in the ZIP file support, so maybe you have to upzipt the ROMs
- The ZIP files seem to be eating quite a lot of RAM, so If ROM doesn’t work, try extracting it.
- Samsung blit fails when “keep aspect ratio” is ticked off
- N97 CFW: You can not use touch + call buttons at the same time with this firmware.
ZIP limitations
- WinZip
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Maximum (PPMd) format WILL NOT work.
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Maximum (bzip2) format WILL NOT work
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Maximum (Enhanced Deflate) format WILL NOT run
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Normal format WILL run
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Fast format WILL run.
- Roms ziped in the WinZip Super Fast format WILL run.
- Roms ziped in the WinZip None format WILL run.
Installation:
Same process as with the AntSnes:
1. First Install Qt 4.6.3 binaries into your phone
- Nokia users can just download and install this : Qt 4.6.3 for S60 5th edition (24611 downloads)
- Samsung & Sony Ericsson users: You can get the official Qt installation package from: Qt 4.6.3 for SE devices (3200 downloads)
2. Download the gpsp4symbian.sis
3. gpsp4Symbian requires the SWEvent capability. The SwEvent is required for key mapping: Now you can map call/end call etc. buttons for the gpsp usage. Therefore the following step is required to install the SW.
Go to SymbianSigned and sign the AntSnesQt sis for your own phone IMEI.
Step 1. Register to symbian signed https://www.symbiansigned.com/ Gmail / Hotmail email adresses are banned from the symbian signed site, so you must use some other email service provider.
Step 2. Sign the sis-file by yourself with the symbian signed web UI.
- Your Phone IMEI (you can obtain it digiting *#06# on your phone)
- Your EMAIL Address (Nokia’s email address is working)
- gpsp4Symbian SIS Package
And then the symbiansigned should email you the signed gpsp4Symbianfor your phone. This package will be installable ONLY on your phone. This procedure works for all Symbian S60V5 Phones. I had also to change to date on the phone into yesterday to get it working..
The alternative method is to hack your phone! You can find pretty good instructions from MameXM download site. (scroll to the bottom of page: Signing & Installing).
Download:
Download the new gpsp 0.6.5+ with improved game_config.txt
gpsp_065_repacked (6275 downloads)
Or if you prefer the older game_config.txt you can donwload the previous version:
gpsp_v065 (56720 downloads)

The Bios:
Remember to set the correct bios before loading ROMs. Make sure to get an authentic one , it’ll be exactly 16384 bytes large and should have the following md5sum “a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6”. The Bios extension should be .bin

- Do NOT Ask where to find ROMs / Bios. Asking about these will just get you banned!
Thank you for updating gpsp! Its perfectly working! I hope u will also update gnuboy into same emulator but with working audio.
now all pokémon works exept emerald.. i’m talking about italian version.. i tried some other games that crashed before, but nothing.. so i wonder if only pokemon were edited in game_config.txt.. and yes i’d like to see gnuboy complete too, hope to see a new version.. thank you

Anyone having trouble with signing may try this alternate method of unlocking symbian s60 v5 (i had a nokia c6):

Hey, Summeli. I’m very grateful with your work. But I’m curious: when do you will upgrade that GPSP to Symbian S60 5th?
what do you mean when? This is for the S60 5th edition.
i think he means update to a newer version..

Pls help me !
There’s No Rom Working at my gpsp pls help me ASAP
what phone have you? have you correctly installed the Qt? have you set BIOS? what roms have you tried?
Anybody with a pc tried to compatibility fix suggested by summeli? That ez flash something? I only care about super robot wars j, which seems to be non working from comments elsewhere.
i tried once on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance with no result :/
How do you overwrite the game_config.txt file? FFT and some other games crash this version emulator at certain points.

go to settings. Press key config. Press vol up for L and B, skip everything else–> pressing vol up will cause pressing L + B at the same time.
