He is also right. It is a real emulator, they just want us to only play their games to make sure we legally own the games.
Cloudy
ok, he was out of line though
hopefully a more compatiability psx emu will come out soon thanks to this release lol
Wow, so this mystery coder who has been making a PSP PS1 emu doesn't even own a PSP??
I suppose I should thank him for his efforts first and foremost. And then I suppose I should ask:
Why didn't you mention the bit about the spare PSP earlier? Donations could have been gathered for a homebrew enabled PSP on ebay or a spare could have been delivered a long time ago.
Wrong coder =P
Ac Hobo is making and PS1 emulator and he has a PSP (to my knowlage)
This is a new guy, Lets hall him AC Homeless =P
He dose not have a PSP but knows his way around a PS1
hmm. if i had the money for a second psp i would send it in but im a 14yo broke kid lol
yeah, I prefer homebrew emulators because I will not get a PS3 =P
Well i have a perfectly working 1.5 psp why can't i just test everything for him through email i don't see anything wrong with that.
I think he should get some beta testers...where lets say he makes a build, he can send it to some people and let them test it.
I will gladly test any program (that dosent write to the flash... maybe one of these if i get recovery back)
If only programming "blindly" was as easy as making a build and having it tested. There are times, especially with embedded/handheld development that a new build must be tested, then a new build be made to compare to the last build, and repeat the cycle. This is even more so the case early on in a project.
Hlide is leading this project, and he has a PSP.
I believe someone is able to donate a PSP to me now though. I'll know for sure within a week it seems.
I appreciate the support everyone! :)
With so much talent working on this project it will definitely be exciting to follow!
Oh, I believe there's an official announcement of this project, yapse4all, at: www.pspgen.com
Thanks!
Ya, this sounds real promising. I´ve been keeping an eye on Hlide since I read a few of his posts, a couple of exophases too a while back. I think this project can have enormous potential.
I don´t have a gp2x but I was looking into it a while back and I ran across your name zodttd. I´m real glad to hear your joining the project and psp programming for the psp. This sounds great guys.:thumbup:
edit
Lol, some of these guys just want to get there hands on a beta;) coding blindly, come on
is it really to much to want to have a psp if your going to code for it:rolleyes: ,lol
Silly question. This thread was started by wraggster so we all know its legit in HIS eyes. But what I don't understand is a coder with the talent to make a PS1 emulator comparable to Sony's, can't afford to buy a PSP? It's 150$ for a refurb. As someone mentioned 50$ for a non-working UMD. With that kinda skill, Im assuming this person is making a decent enough living to afford 150 bones. Just my opinion is all. I know if I was very confident that I could make a PS1 emulator I WOULD buy one just ta do it, if I was successful, Id prolly get bought out by Sony, have an awesome job, and much Homebrew fan recognition.. Worth 150$ if ya ask me.
Ya it dose sound silly but if you do think about it most peeps here are 13 to 18 or 20. And a few older then that.
All im saying is that hes probley got better things to spend money on. I got my first psp for half price (dad payed the rest), and my second was my bros b-day president (he never uses it, so i have taken it under my wing)
Now again, he probley dosent even have an ebay account either. I dont know the whole ebay thing but im pritty sure you need some payment type that hes not old enough to have (paypal, credit card, etc). So again there is another flaw. Now if we were to get a donation link up, give the money to W, and have him send a psp to AC Homeless then ya i can see that happening more then him getting his own.
Let's say he's underage, where's his parent's support? If he's someone's 14 year old son or daughter that believes they can code it, than the parents should be supportive and buy him/her one. If he/she has already demonstrated coding skills with them, than they should realize how far their child can go.
i'm intereted in this... but what about ps1p that wraggster showed us? i would wait to its release before donating.....
anyone with fresh news on that please say something!
Ive tried all the latest and greatest ps1 emulators and they are extremely slow. Than I saw the Official PS1 emulator from sony in action, running ridge racer... seems to run perfect. I just say wait for someone to emulate 3.x firmware (hopefully the peeps from devhook) and go from there. For all we know , we might just need the firmware and make PS1 ISOs PSP compatible.
EDIT: Just a thought or 2. Anyone know how the current delivery system works? It involves the ps3 so does that mean the games you buy are downloaded to the ps3 and you gotta be within proximity to play the games via wireless from the ps3? That wouldnt work, I wouldnt think cos of the transfer rate. And what about Sony eventually making so all you need is the psp? Does that mean you need a card big enough to hold a game up to 650-700 megs in size? IF so, well, 3.x will be cracked and and if its some sorta modded iso that only works for the psp than people will just host/trade the games they actually bought and it'll be all over torrent, newsgroups and p2p in no time.
Anyone know how the current delivery system works?
yes i do
you have to have a psp (3.01 FW) and a PS3 (newest FW) and a Internet connection via PS3
and yes you'll need to have a big memstick
the only time i would use that emu is if sony would buy me a new psp (to update) and a PS3 plus an internet flatrate
Hello,
please excuse this (perhaps stupid) question, but did somebody see how this PSX emulator made by Sony works?
I haven't understood if sombody already saw it in action or not.
Of course, I'm excluding that video at conference with the first Ridge Racer running
Btw, they could also show a better game than RR1...:rolleyes:
Sincerely,
LDChen
m0th you sound like a noob to me in the psp scene
I can normally afford a PSP. It's a small purchase. But right now I really need to conserve and stick to a budget. It's not a required purchase, and can become a "money pit", so I've always said I wouldn't purchase one.
Luckily though, someone is offering a PSP ready to go.
LDChen: I too would like to know the answer to your question. Btw, how's FPSEce going? Mind some competition? ;)
To me Ridge Racer 1 was a great thing to have them show running on the emulator, since it's so poorly translated and tends to run very slow on most Playstation emulators compared to other titles. To most people not involved in PS1 emulation, it's a pretty poor choice to show them RR1 videos.
Actually I am. I've only had my PSP for about 4 monthes. WHy do I sound stupid? Good chance I have more years of computer knowledge than you have years living. I don't mean that as an insult I'm just saying.... just cos someone is new to A scene doesnt mean they aren't bringing years of experience in similar hobbies/interests. if you like, I CAN be a newb and start asking stupid questions without reading the forums and their stickies. :)
Start a paypal donation fund... Ill chuck $5 your way, if everyone else that replied here do you will easy have enough
ok, I want to end this post because I'm very unconfortable with donation. When I posted this advertisement, I was asked to explain the reason in case of someone can claim to be the "great coder" and ask for this donation to blind people. Personally, i'm against this donation and i think it was an error : I shouldn't have accepted it.
So please don't donate ! I think zodttd, if he wants to work on a psp, would find one.
Now about the project. It's still going on. Slowly because I can code only at weekends. I can post here because I have internet at work especially when bored. And yes, this project will be done at my pace, not at a hype pace.
Regards.
Keep up the good work then Hlide, dont worry if it takes a long time to work on...as they always say "good things come to those who wait.." and well living in England kinda means waiting for EVERY good entertainment sollution anyway, thanks for the work you already did.
