Namco Museum Battle Collection is a collection of Namco arcade games such as Dig Dug, Pac-Man and Galaga and was developed by Namco Tales Studio Ltd.. It was released for the PlayStation Portable in Japan on February 24, 2005 and contained eleven classic games from Namco's game history. The North American version contained an additional ten games and was released on August 23, 2005. The Europe version, which was published by SCEE, was released on December 9, 2005 and was again as a Platinum and PSP Essentials hits on May 6, 2009 and April 8, 2011 respectively. The compilation also contains four variants of several of Namco's more well-known properties, known as Arrangements. These games have an updated presentation and also introduce a number of new gameplay concepts to each arranged title. The classic games have the option to rotate the screen by ninety degrees to display the original arcade resolution alongside other size options typically not found in the Namco Museum series. The game also takes advantage of the PlayStation Portable's game sharing feature to allow other players who don't have a copy of the game to play any of the classic titles' first levels.
There are two components for playing a psp Namco Museum Battle Collection game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the psp OS and software.
The second component is the Namco Museum Battle Collection game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest PPSSPP – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading PPSSPP, extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the PPSSPPWindows.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Namco Museum Battle Collection. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to PPSSPP and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
