Is there a N64 and PS1 emu in the works?

[JcBoyCool]

Im just wondering because that would be the best.

I think there might be a ps1 ,but i wouldnt hold your breath though.

I suppose a playstation emulator would be theoreticly possible. I believe its core proc was only 33mhz, however the snes isn't perfected yet so I would guess a useful playstation emulator would be a while. As far as the N64 I just don't see that happening in any really playable fashion. It took a long time to get a good N64 emu on a at the time powerful PC and even then the compatability wasn't exactly great.

Actualy a ps1 & n64 emulator would benifit on the psp the most. All 3 systems ran on mips processors so if an emulator was writen from the ground up on the psp it would be very doable and run at a nice framerate. A quick port of a pc emulator though will lead to horible framerate.

The big thing holding both back is the fact we know nothing about the GPU. If all 3d can be handled with the systems hardware insted of software rendered then some decent spee can come about.

How long does it take to build an emulator from the ground up?

The only setback would be the PSP's lack of buttons compared to both PS1 and N64 although it could be worked around i suppose.

Quite a while, I'd imagine.
