With the GBA emu out now i wonder if a Virtual Boy emulator is at all possible for the PSP

heres a page with sourcecode on http://www.goliathindustries.com/vb/VBDown.html

Is it doable to port to PSP ?

Virtual Boy ? The only console that provide headaches after 20 minutes :D ...

I'm joking, i like so much all stereoscopic stuff !

Unfortunatelly, this console is based on a 20Mhz RISC processor (from NEC), with a bigger screen than Gameboy, so it should be harder to get full speed on any VB emulator :( ...

BTW, i didn't succeed to run the linux beta version of the virtual boy emu :(. This emulator seems to be in is early stage ...

I think having a virtual boy emu for psp would be great! You could use cheap 3-d glasses substantiate the 3-d effect or even that eyepiece that came with MGA2. Something about playing VB titles on my psp makes me feel warm inside.

Wasnt a scaled down RISC processor (MIPS) used for the N64? Maybe PSPmonkey or daedelus would be interested in this project....;)

Also,I thought I had read somewhere the psp's processor was based on RISC or MIPS architecture (or something like that. I dont really know the jargon). Can anyone set me straight?

There is a better source available at http://www.vr32.de/modules/tech/index.php?sec=emus

Red Dragon does have portable source. Someone else ported it once but couldn't get controls working.

I have a Download of that ported version at this thread on PSPMod http://www.pspmod.com/forums/emulation/34847-psp-emu-homepages-version-ratings-notes.html

Anyone get the virtual boy emulator working on the PSP? I'm running red dragon and the buttons have no control over it. I would love to play this system again.
