The PSP is VERY powerful.

- 2x 333 MHz MIPS R4k-family CPUs with one VFPU
- Sound harware
- MPEG decoding hardware
- GPU with all the fancy stuff (even if part of it can be mapped to, say, DirectX, there's still cost to translate the operations)

Emulating the 2 CPUs alone wouldn't be feasible with Java. To be exact, emulating the PSP without a dynamic recompiler won't be feasible, and Java CAN NOT do dynamic code generation.

For a comparison, the PS1 CPU is 33Mhz. And the rest of the stuff (GPU / GTE) is far simpler than the PSP's. How much CPU time do you have to spare emulating PS1 in a 2 GHz PC with an interpreter?

You should read the post you are quoting. I was responding to the comment that an optimized psp emulator written in assembly and C with hle graphics emulation could not run on a 2ghz pc. Not that an emulator built in Java for the psp could.

TINNUS JUST POWNED WOOOT! me hate psp emulator cuz im stuck up and i dont want ds people getting to see what a psp is like!

And i hate S!ms for making this!! i know im stuck up but hate when someone goes blah blah i got it on my computer it pisses the crap outta me

This may have insulted many but im just exspressing myself :p

First, I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you, only adding my bit of info.

Second, even in C it would be a hard task.

Third, me talking about Java had nothing to do with your post, but with the supposed information the emulator is being written in Java.

(I hate that kind of confusion with posts... people end up fighting for nothing :p )

Don't commercial games only use the PSP's main processor, and the ME was only supposed to be used for audio/video playback? So he wouldn't have to emulate the ME get commercial games running, right? Not that this emu isn't complete BS, I was just wondering.

Look I have proof :p

And what would you want to run commercial games for? Go buy a PSP and the games then :)

Can't say it's a PSP emulator if it doesn't fully emulate the hardware... well, not if it misses a whole CPU!

BTW, another sign it's a hoax is that the guy goes all around saying he played in the XMB and a commercial game, but no single word about homebrew--being that the biggest advantage of an emulator would be to be able to debug homebrew more easily.

Don't post your fake crap here. This emulator may be fake, but no need to confuse matters.

It's called a joke, get off your high horse and try laughing once in a while.

i have to admit.. its kind of funny actually.

I appreciate a joke as much as any sane person. I just don't think it is good to fool around like this. Any noob could run it, and then end up complaining on the forums it doesn't work. You have to think of the collateral damage this could cause.

Why do you think the original thread was removed?

Even so, there shouldn't be much overhead for emulating both processors if they aren't being used at the same time! You obviously know a lot more about the PSP's hardware than me so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that the ME runs at 1 MHz when it isn't being used (and same with the main CPU, hence the official spec sheet listing both processors as having a clock speed of 1-333 MHz).

Why would I want to run commercial games on an emulator? Well I wouldn't have to wait for DevHook to load, I wouldn't have to deal with long UMD loading times, I wouldn't have to deal with the shoddy PSP hardware (the buttons sometimes stick and its near impossible to pull off a diagonal with the d-pad), and I wouldn't have to recharge it every few hours to name a few reasons. Also, while this won't happen for a long time it would be nice to play PSP games in high resolution with improved texture filtering and FSAA, which many games desperately need.

Because I asked PSPDemon to remove it as some people were started to ask me what the controls were.

I love it that when people act like asses, everyone else is on a high horse.

rawr rawr crazy people war rawr rawr i dont like emuator rawr rawr me eat you rawr rawr emulator foolish can never beeee done rawr rawr me eat quzar and mikedx rawr rawr im crazy sane person who likes to argue rawr rawr ooga booga i like to have psp on my computer rawr rawr ME TORTURE YOU BARBECUE YOU AND THEN EAT YOU SPACEMAN rawr rawr ME BIG ALIEN rawr rawr CHOMP CHOMP! (eats spacemanspiff

spacespiff: "nooooo!"

CHOMP CHOMP!

Oh yeah its all i joke dont take it personally :p
this depicts spacemanspiff getting his head ripped off and some crazy coder wanting to eat him ( i wont point)

how dare you insult our investments! lol its thee psp you makin fun of

oh yeah i consider the drawing worth it, its to make it funny

When did I say anything bad about the emulator? Other than that it's an obvious fake :p
It's pretty pathetic that you actually spent some time drawing that :p

lol

I love you guys, this thread has made me smile

that makes me feel better :p just remember its a freakin joke

I can't help but shudder at the though of "what if this isn't fake?" given that there is no way to know without doubt I cannot see how you all can be so mean about it. Boggles my mind it does.

ill beta test it for you . no probs

ill beta, alpha, and gamma test :D

No, you will not test. Because it is a fake :(

can i be beta tester

plz

i downloaded a version of this off a torrent site but in the version right now you cant play any iso just the homebrew which is kind of useless

wher i can find the emulator

search for it on *links removed by zion* - warez

this has been proven fake, and the "author" of it has been banned from this forum
