The famous shadow from PSXC2 along with 'mad' have started working on a PSP emulator in Java! There is not much info and no releases yet, but you should definitly keep an eye on this project.

Check for updates at the official website (http://www.jpcsp.org/).

Ya I was thinking the same thing... a Java psp emulator, even NES emulators in JAVA don't run very well on low end systems..... so PSP Java emulator will definintly require a high end computer to run....

A PSP emulator in Java would be extremely impractical. I would love to be proven wrong... when hell freezes over

Im not the most intelligent person when it comes to codeing, but if this guy is a "famous" coder, then im pretty sure hes got a good reason for codeing the thing in Java. Looking forward to it =)

Hmm, Java? from own experience i can tell it will be a hell to make it run at anything more tan 1/2 FPS.

Java itself runs over a emulator (JVM) so there is some serious performance loss over a language like C or C++

Java has an advantage in that it works in any OS, so if he is able to get this thing working, he won't have to change any code.

obviously, you've never coded in java ;)

Hmm I'll have to see how this turns out, but honestly I believe it may be a lost cause. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Obviously you haven't. If you had, you would know that Java can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

That'd only be true if every OS automatically came with a JVM which is obviously not the case.
