The Biggest Threat to the PSP Homebrew Scene Is Coming - Sonys PS1 Emu

ill never update...(i think)
but i would consider either chipping or buying a new psp, but only if sony do what i think they will and only let you download the update straight to your psp and thus sign it to mac address or whatever causing the update to be corrupt on other psp consoles.

otherwise devhook!!

yep, i'd consider modding, but even that's unlikely!

i've only *just* got fw 1.5.... like i'm suddenly gonna jump up firmwares for playing (a decent) Tomb Raider on my psp! ha! i've got my ps2, so if i really wanna play a ps1 game, i can use that!

i'm sure the devhook chaps will sort something out for running on fw1.5... afterall, i'm sure they would like to try the ps1 games out too!

I wouldn't update. I think the reason is that a PSX emulator is of no interest to me simply because I didn't even own one. I don't have fond memories of playing a certain game, and most games from the console have a sequel on a newer console.

The only one I would've been interested in playing is Ape Escape, which was my first game for the PSP.

I haven't given up faith in the homebrew community yet. Also, at some point it will come down to N64, gameboy, snes, gba, nes, and all of those emulators which you can use your already owned games for plus maybe a homemade PS1 vs. Sony's pay-to-play emu.

no
i hope someone cracks the ps1 emu

I'll probably just buy a second psp. That is the only current way to ensure the best of both worlds.

If the ps1 emulator has a good enough game offering, then yes, I will update. Once regret finally sets in, I'll buy a 1.5 off of ebay.
