PSPSOne Alpha Released (Playstation Emulator for PSP)

This is great news but I always wonder why whenever psx/psone emulators are talked about everyone has to say something about FF7 or Symphony of the Night. It's nice people have their games they like and want to play but have any of those people ever played and liked the old Castlevania games or FF 1-6? Also I wonder if some even really played FF7 when it was released? Why is it such a great game. I loved FF 1-6, but sold FF7. The story bored me. Sorry. Dragon Quest 7, Grandia, Arc the Lad, Lunar, those are others people need to try. Especially when this emu starts running ISO's. Go find a copy of those great games to play along with SotN, or FF7 on this great emu. Sorry for the rant but I had to. Branch out people, try new things. It doesn't hurt. Especially when this emu starts being updated. Keep up the great work Pacmanfan!

Meh, people just tend to over-rate FF7. FF9 is where its at :)

ff7 is no more... there alot of games in PSone that I like more then ff7, like Chrono Cross...

Gah, fighting over what is the best RPG on PSOne is like trying to find the best drop in a glass of beer. Its an unending argument that has been going on for five years and its impossible to settle. PSOne has more masterpiece RPG's then I can count.

Awesome work pacmanfan, this will surely be THE killer app on psp.

Just awesome work...

Amazingly cool. :)

I cant wait till this app is complete... this means that i can get Resident Evil:D
Keep up the good work Pacmanfan...

ONI

This is a good point. Considering game sales are what makes or breaks any platform, and the majority of PSP UMD games are "lacking" to put it nicely, a lot can be gained by Sony and others in re-releasing a lot of classic PSOne titles. UMD can hold more data than PSOne CD's so if multi-cd games could be ported to a single UMD, that would be a huge selling point. Due to the power of the PSP, the graphics may be improved upon also.

I would not be suprised if this is already in the works but if Sony takes too long, the homebrew scene will likely find a way. Again, it comes down to priorities. If Sony would stop trying to fight homebrew and delegate that effort to more useful things, the PSP would be a much better device.

I think most companies don't want to "re-produce" the same games. FFVII is over and done, and was probably one of the most anticipated and well recieved games the Playstation ever had. There are tons of favorites though, and this Emulator (fingers crossed) sounds very promising. I'll be more excited if we can play FF Tactics on the PSPOne than I will for FFVII. I won't play it again just because I wouldn't have the time. Been there, done that(2 times), had a kick-ass time, what's next? I think Sony/Square-enix will be better putting out a new Final Fantasy game for the PSP than they will re-hashing a port of the old games. I though there was supposed to be an Advent Children game also, not just the movie (which is really great btw) :D

Stay on the freaking topic ffs :/
Later,
