if this does come to be, nintendo wont be happy with it if they were to find out about it - nobody would get a DS anymore.

sony probely wouldnt mind that at all though.

i don't think a DS emu would be very practical considering there's no touch

It's not a question of screen-size, and not a thing about emulation power... It's about touch screen!

What would be a DS without Touch Screen? Nothing.

Now how do you want to play games that REQUIRE touch screen, like Trauma Center? And the 95% of the DS games REQUIRE Touch Screen play.

Ok, now even thinking about creating a cursor (like the emulators on the PC, the touch is emulated by the mouse, and it really sucks) and emulating the touch screen like the PC emulators, it would suck anyway.
Not even thinking about games that use the two screens like a big single vertical screen. Having them put side-to-side would ruin the entire game.

So, get over it, no DS emulation on PSP, and probably, no decent DS emulation on PC.

Try to play Kirby's Powerbrush. It requires fast stylus movements. Even with a mouse, on a PC emulator, you could not possibly do that fast movements like a DS Touch Screen could.

State this fact: DS will ever and only be emulated like crap.

While I must insist that it is certainly not impossible to emulate a DS on a PSP, I have to agree that it would impractical and pointless.

It would however, be impossible to emulate a PSP on a DS... :P

Yeah, but who needs PSP games when you have a DS?

I play only 2 or 3 (Innocent Life and FF:AE, just to name some) games on PSP, and I have MOSTLY bought it for homebrew.
For fun games, there's my DS

I don't know - I just couldn't give-up the PSP's graphical superiority, and I certainly wouldn't carry two handhelds on me anywhere (my pockets are stuffed full of junk as it is).

I know it may be missing the point a bit, but Homebrew is my reason for loving the PSP, where before it served as merely a curious distraction. Despite many virtues and convenience of design, the DS just isn't my thang. I still have a 30GB Zen Xtra (about the size of a late walkman) where everyone I know has an MP3 player the size of a match-box.

Why? Because it suits me, and it still has unbeaten sound quality, despite a total lack of superficial functionality.

It's all a matter of taste, innit'? =D

I don't think you could have a PSP emu on the DS, consideering the dual ARMs add up to near 100Mhz or so... and the PSP is like 300Mhz or 600Mhz or something... gotta check that out...
