Heh, how often dothe Chinese lie? I seriously doubt that Sony will release a PS emulator as, like homebrew, it will ause a drop in PSP game sales and reduce profit.

[ace_t]

You never heard of "Chinese Whispers"?
:rolleyes: ;)

[happy_mak]

HEY EVERYONE,
I take back my earlier words, there is indeed something planned

oh looks nice :) playing psx on psp :)

[b8a]

Oh wow. Once again, the PSP news is ten times more exciting than the PS3 news. My guess is that Sony is announcing these features now as damage control for being unable to launch the PS3 until the end of the year. Hopefully that means that the security on the new features will be leaky as all heck and that exploits to run homebrew on the new firmwares (or conversely, to run the new features on 1.50) will be discovered quickly and easily. Here's keeping my fingers crossed! I'll almost certainly be buying the next generation PSP in any event.

[CoderX]

Personaly i think most of that list is a lie.

First off
PS1 Emulator <-- Would cause sony to losse money!!!!
PS3 OS + Linux <-- Ya right, hand us a kerrnel os to screw them over with.
Almost as bad a mistake as alowing unsigned code on a 1.0psp

But bleive what you like.
I think this is junk

[One Eyed Newt]

PS1 Emulator <-- Would cause sony to losse money!!!!
Surely it would cause an increase in people buying PS1 games therefor the potential for them to gain money?

Sure, it would reduce the amount of people buying PS1 consoles, but how many people would seriously consider that now anyway with the PS2 able to play PS1 games.

Might also increase sales of the PSP for people who have always wanted a PS1 and have been considering getting a PSP. Adding PS1 emulator might just tip the scales in favour of them buying it.

Adding PS1 game support doesnt have to mean that they will lose money, in fact it has the potential to do quite the opposite. Of course, this assumes that people buy legit copies of PS1 games or that Sony add some kind of security to prevent illegal copies working

[AcerVentura]

A Flash player 6 would be a welcome addition to the browser capabilities.

However, all the best Flash games are version 7, or 8+.


A PS emulator would not hurt Sony, in fact it will create a new UMD market.

After all, do you think you can put your PS1 CD in the UMD drive? Or that they would let you run a backup iso off the memory stick?

No, they will likely sell PS1 games on UMD, maybe 2 or 3 titles on a disc. Just like Nintendo did with official NES games on the GBA.

Just wait-- you'll see Spyro The Dragon 1, 2, & 3 on UMD for $60.

"CELL will be allowed to realize 4 dimensions worlds, with will play the family to realize the dream together."

lol...that s the funniest bullshit ever...:)
do u think the ps4 will be able to do 5D games? :D

[Cap'n 1time]

"CELL will be allowed to realize 4 dimensions worlds, with will play the family to realize the dream together."

lol...that s the funniest bullshit ever...:)
do u think the ps4 will be able to do 5D games? :D

yes.. that bothered me too. according to wikipedia...

4D shapes or so called Tesseract's indeed exist... but can be projected in a 3d realm..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

Also another definition of 4d is... time.. and I dont think the Cell is powerfull enough to display... time? err.. what?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time


ah and here is a wikipedia page of specifically the 4th D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_dimension

so it sounds like to me... china has some hoaxers as well.

... or sony has in fact found some way to modify the origins of the universe and is being kind enough to release it as a... video game.

[Hungry Horace]

"CELL will be allowed to realize 4 dimensions worlds, with will play the family to realize the dream together."

lol...that s the funniest bullshit ever...:)

;) i think that's more a case of "all your base are belong to us"

[Hungry Horace]

PS3 OS + Linux <-- Ya right, hand us a kerrnel os to screw them over with.
Almost as bad a mistake as alowing unsigned code on a 1.0psp


PS3 & Linux isnt news though, it's been known for quite a while. I think Sony may have realised the untapped potential of homebrew, and will find a way to make money off of it.

Some said they might even consider a u-turn with regards to the PSP and homebrew... - however even *i* think thats bull!

[Cap'n 1time]

The linux community isnt going to let Sony make money off of them... Honestly the people of linux are amongst the most intelligent and moral people on the planet.

IMHO this list isnt official.. its some kind of wish list/ joke / future speculation that had some of its meaning lost in translation...

[Zephyroth_drgs]

this is some kind of joke i think isnt it?

[bizarre]

i dont know if its real, but if it is, we will lose the homebrew in our psps, because we will be forced to update to play psone games

[SoQb0nc5r]

seems official to me, I LOVE U SONY

[YourStillWithMe]

Guys guys guys slow it down for a sec, you do realize that Sony is looking for a way to just get us to stop playing our nes, snes, etc. homebrew, right!?

This is is exciting but it sounds a bit overrated. We can SOOOO develop this ourselves without having to lose everything else. PSONE is cool but i'd get sick of it quickly i mean cmon tony hawk 2 was good, ff 7 and 8 but come on

[Lodis]

Having read different forum responses to Sonys future Psp plans, particularly the Psone emulator and flash support, it is evident that many are simply too excited and eager to upgrade to get the very same features that homebrew has already given them or will do so in the future.

Sony are only doing this because they want to get us to upgrade and if Pacmanfan wasn't in the process of developing a Psp Psone emulator, Sony would never be doing anything of the sort.

I too am excited about an official Playstation One emulator on the Psp but in my opinion, it is too little too late. I hope Pacmanfan and the other devs will not be disheartened by this news and I hope it gives them even more motivation to complete this project. The quality of homebrew lately has surpassed what I ever thought was possible on the Psp and alot of it is putting pressure on Sony, much of it has been getting noticed in media and Sony has been forced to acknowledge homebrew whether they want to or not. When homebrew surpasses or rivals your own commercial products you really have to do something about it and this is what Sony is doing and they have no choice either. Homebrew rules and nothing commercial will ever have the same level of flexibility or passion put into it.

[urherenow]

the picture people linked to made me kind of thing that the emulator would be on a UMD (but what a waste of space) and psone games will be downloaded from a sony server onto your memory stick. If that was the case, I'm sure the images will have some sort of signature on them (that the emulator will verify) to stop us from using our own ISO's...

[geise69]

The PS1 emulator IS a nice idea, but I don't like how they're going about it. I'm sure the games that are going to be on the sony server to dl are just big sony titles. Why have a PS1 emulator if you can only play certain ps1 games. I seriously doubt they'll have the ps1 versions of Dodonpachi, Sol Divide, Sokyugurentai (probably spelled wrong) and other hard to find games. Yeah I'd love to play MGS, Dragon Quest 7 and other big games, but why pay for them again if I already own them? I seriously doubt I can just make an ISO and run it. Would be nice though. As for sony wanting to cancel out homebrew, I doubt they care about nes, snes, genesis/megadrive. I also feel that this is stuff that has been planned for quite some time and even if they did get these ideas from homebrew it's nice sony is adding them. I also wonder how much the ps1 games are going to go for?

[rbervoets]

A Wise Man Once Said

If you wait long enough they will make an emulator for everything...

[daibo]

I highly doubt Sony is able to distribute games like MGS or FF7, as it has no right to rerelease third party games, still property of third party publishers. So we will only be able to dl first party ones like GT2 etc, and most probably be charged for them. I'll wait for PacManFan.

[NeoXCS]

Monkey 64 is well worth waiting for. I think I'd rather be playing around with homebrew for awhile longer! :)

[Voltron]

Sure a PSOne emulator is a huge selling point. But a valid argument was made about possibly only SONY titles available. I would want to play FF7, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, etc. etc. etc. Mostly titles that are NOT Sony. I will wait to hear what PacManFan has to say about this. We should all support him.

The fact is this: If you are going to want the best of both worlds when it comes to the PSP, you'll want the current PSP with 1.50 firmware and you can get this new PSP for commercial games that want to FORCE you to upgrade.

I'm getting sick of the forced updates. I can't get Lemmings, Generation of Chaos, Ys: Ark of Napishtim, and Samurai Warriors to play on my 1.5 PSP. If anyone knows any tricks to get these games to run, please PM me.

[YourStillWithMe]

Yeah, thats the right attitude guys. Voltron-your dead on. I agree. We can't rush our thoughts and just jump to a conclusion. I'd only be pumped abut Tony Hawk 2, Metal Gear Solid, FF7 and 8 and Tekken 3. And in terms of paying? haha i'm 99.9% sure there will be a way around paying and just get them from torrents. I'd much prefer owning people on Perfect Dark, Goldeney, smash bros, or Rogue Squadron playing some single player. I'll just wait and worst possible case scenario i'll turn in my other psp, get some cash, and go buy this new psp (if it's 100% nesseccary, or just upgrade one of my psp's :-) )

[rbervoets]
