Cache Requirement: Due to the PSP's small RAM compared to large arcade ROMs, MVSPSP requires a ROM conversion process. Users must use a desktop tool called romcnv to generate "cache" files, which allow the emulator to stream game data directly from the Memory Stick instead of loading the entire game into RAM.
