If Only - A PSP Dream by Wraggy

[wraggster]

Just got in from the rain, yeah in my job i actually prefer it wet and miserable

Anyway thinking aloud to myself i wondered if Sony had somehow put the PS1 on a chip and stuck it inside the PSP, it would explain why the onboard PS1 Emulation is so very good, that or they took the best bits from VGS and Bleem the 2 PS1emulators they took out with multiple lawsuits.

Wouldnt it be sweet if the PSP was infact a super charged PS2 with enough similarities to be able to to just simulate the PS2 games rather than emulate.

Did Sony drop a major bollock by not making the PSP a more powerful brother of the PS2 or is it, it all makes you wonder

Anyway you can digest these thoughts whilst i carry on newsposting.

It'd be cool, but DVDs are too big for one, and for another supercharging a PS2 would use way more power than the PSP does.
It'd be cool, as long as you're okay with 20 min battery life.

you have to remember when the psp came out. it's a old gaming handheld, but still the most powerful on the market. Playing God of War or racing games is amazing on the machine. When I first picked up one back in 05 I couldn't tell the graphics were sub PS2 level.

Sony dropped the ball by not adding a second analog nub. A good FPS will a excellent mutliplayer mode would have put Sony ahead of the DS in the US.

Actually, Connectix VGS was bought out by Sony and Sony stopped developing it.

Yes but i think they continue development for the psp, because in the early days of the ps1 emulation on psp it had the same bugs with minor differences as vgs had, and it wasn't a coincidence final fantasy 9 was the first final fantasy game to work on the psp since vgs was patched to support it.

Hey I may be wrong, but i find it weird that an emulator that worked pentium 266 works very similar to an emulator on psp

Sony never acquired the source to Bleem, only VGS. Some dynarec techniques from there might have helped them, but I doubt it. VGS ran alright on platforms that had around the same amount of CPU power as PSP, and without hardware acceleration too. The PS1 emulator on PSP is impressive but not incomprehensibly so.

The only piece of hardware Sony may have used that we know little about is the VME support hardware, but they probably just used the Media Engine CPU for SPU emulation.

Size is not a problem. Memory sticks are getting bigger and bigger, we already have 16GB

[jeegee]

Aside from all the above.. how much noise did the ps2 make??? fan was a major player in that... psp gets hot as it is lol.. any more power and it'd probably melt

[masterchief929]

wraggster, that was so deep! man! the psp is so magical! i wish i had one. but it would be really cool if it could just simulate ps2 instead of emulate.

[Buddy4point0]

There better be a ps2 emulator in the psp2
