I think that the elder scrolls arena is can be done on the psp because you can download it for free off the elder scroll's website, and from abandionia so it is abondonware so dosen'ty that mean leaglly you can do it. Now onto the system requirements from the elder scrolls website:
Minimum system requirements:
386/25 MHZ, DOS 5.0, 4MB RAM, 25MB HD Space, VGA graphics card, Mouse, Soundcard (Ensoniq, Aria, Roland, SoundBlaster, Ultrasound).
Now by the sounds of it the psp surpasses the Minimum system requirements because the 386 if I am correet has no instyructions like mmx, sse, sse2 and so on. The psp has 32mb of ram and has 24mb or 28mb to spare to it after it's turned on so that's plenty. 25mb of hd space, not only does the psp have that but also since it will be running from a memory stick in theory it should run BETTER because at the time of the games release in early 1992 all the had were slow spining hard drives with IDE 33 interface. VGA graphics card, now the psp dosen't have quite that but I would image the psp's cpu could handle the extra load since at the time a vga graphics card was ISA and had 256kb-1mb of vram on it. As for the soundcard you could just disable sound sice at 92 I would image that the sounds weren't anything too much to miss. So all in all I think it is possible to get a port of this game on the psp, and would be enjoyed since it is a great rpg and is quite fun to play. What do you guys think, suggestions, and is it possible?
