Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) re PSPKVM

Bolt questions

How do I get the menus/softkeys working in Bolt?

Use a Nokia emulation mode. Nokia (480*272) works fine.

Why don't the video players work in Bolt?

Video streaming support isn't supported in PSPKVM as of this writing. It is on the roadmap for release 0.5.6, early 2010.

Opera Mini 4.2 questions

How do I get a virtual keyboard in the address bar in Opera Mini 4.2?

Select 'Insert Symbol...' by cursoring up or down. Note that if you get a real long list of possible addresses, going up (and around to the bottom) is usually faster.

Opera Mini 5 Beta questions

How do I get a virtual keyboard in the address bar in Opera Mini 5?

Make sure you've turned inline editing off (find 'Settings' in the middle dropdown in the menu, open it, go to 'Advanced', make sure 'Inline editing' is off.)

Thereafter, whenever entering addresses, from the address bar, select 'Edit' (usually X or O, depending on how you've set up PSPKVM), then 'Edit' again.

(The first 'Edit' brings up a list of addresses. Second brings up the keyboard. This is their interface, not ours.)

Why is Opera mini 5 beta so slow?

We don't know yet. But we've reports it's slow just about everywhere (as in: in other VMs). We'll take a harder look at it if/when Opera releases something that isn't marked beta and it's still slow.

General VM/AMS questions

Why aren't the menus in my language in the AMS?

We will happily fix this--if you can provide translations. Send them to the feedback address in the Readme -- they should appear just as soon as someone's got a second to stick 'em in a table and roll out another binary.

Why don't the menus/softkeys work in application X?

Try a different emulation mode. If you find one that works, please feel free to pass it along at the feedback address, or in the Shoutbox at http://pspkvm.org.

(If you don't, same deal: let us know.)

Why does my game say m3g error

This is because there is no implementation for 3D as of this moment. We will try to implement this in one of the builds coming later.

The sound of my game is clipping / stuttering / not fluent

Set your psp cpu speed for this game to 333 mhz to resolve issues. In future we're trying to implement MediaEngine support so this is fixed.
