[g00gy]

Yeah good arcade games like marvel vs capcom will be welcome as PSP doesnt have a high amount of fighters but dont forget how will the PSP emulate the PS1 control missing two buttons (L2 R2) let alone give good control for fighting game i.e. quarter circle moves.

Sony claims to release these games availible on memory sticks (bad move) hackers rejoice.

but yeah for us collectors who have years of collection of games and roms ever since the commodore emulation will add up to a costy price.

i think its pretty evil Sony wanting to charge me for my old PS1 games all over again. Particularly when i would only want the games i've already owned on my PSP. (Tomb Raider games, Tony H 2, maybe slap a version of FIFA on there where Sheffield Wednesday a still Premiership team )

i dont care if the downloads are only £1 each, its the principle of the thing. Fact is i already own those games. If i'm having to pay for them again because my original wont work then its not really an emulator... it's a PS1 "simulator" and as such should have lots of enhancements added to the games to tailor specifically to being run on a PSP.

can you imagine if i had to pay for all my old ZX Spectrum and Amiga games all over again to run under emulation??! i have hundreds of the buggers, all legal, 95% of which i still have the boxes for (cluttering up my loft.) what would have ever been the point in paying for them in the first place?

Even if Sony realeased their own ZX Spectrum emulator on a UMD with every speccy game on it (at a massive 48-128k each!) i'd feel like i was being ripped off with a half-empty UMD, a few hundred games i'd never play, and the cost of paying for all those games all over again.

Sony have given us a lovely bit of hardware in the PSP, but since they refuse to provide us with great new software to use on it, i'm gonna stick with the Homebrew scene and just use it as a portable version of all the emulators and stuff i spend my tme running on my PC. Shame really, because there's a lot of untapped potential in that that-there PSP.

They should make a PS3 Emu for the PSP.

sony sucks 4ever

[PSP Candate]

sony hates things made for PSP that are free. They want people to have to buy stuff, therefore they made 2.0-2.6versions.

Strange how people are bashing Sony for this....is this not in a roundabout way the same as say a Capcom,Namco or Midway Compillation? They are Charging lets say 29 bucks for 10 or so "old games" that are illegally but freely available on the web. How's come they are not evil? If you have an upgraded PSP and are not privy to the ways of the homebrew...You'd be pretty happy about This. I however am unaffected as I only played the original playstation a couple of times. Never had a PS2. But love my Downgraded 1.5 PSP. I have no problem with sony's move and think it should be applauded. No one's screaming about Nintendo's Revolution doing the same thing...and they will have other systems too. More functionality keeps our beloved handheld going. The more it goes the more we get out of it.

[felonyr301]

well i have no comment about this till sony announces more about this....

[PSPh4ck3rCMD]

my idea.........
if or when $ony realeses the ps1 emu and charge for the roms,iso,or whatever they use for it the emu will be well encripted so that nobody will be able to hack the emu at least for a few mounths. i say if $ony is going to realese the emu (i hope) they will not charge for the roms or what ever but instead have a software (hack proof if u want to call it that of course) u can download from there site that will enable u to put youre ps1 game that you own in ur dvd drive and use the software to make and modify the iso of the disk (automaticaly) so that it is psp ps1 emu compatible and then move that file over to the psp and run it true the emu. BTW ff7 would kick ass on psp!!!

[vettacossx]

shadow your damn skippy about that if i have too pay for ps1 games im only buying sqaresoft or enix or square-enix products ....period...final fantasys and maybe tekken 3 ...screw the rest if i have to pay!! on the other hand if a homebrew ps1 emulator was released i would donate too the creator!!! as a matter of a fact im willing to send our beloved PSMONKEY a PS2 thin if he gets the 64 running at decent speeds so he can try kingdom hearts 2 its the Least i can do for my FAV homebrew coder!! if someone created a ps1 emulator ...pshhh id buy that person a xbox 360.....WORD UP THAT MEANS YOU WHO EVER YOU ARE I LOVE MY PSP ITS PRICLESS TO ME!! and having the ability to make the most of this units amazing technology is why i support the homebrew scene!! i mean i gotta tell you SHADOW makes a very very good point ...ill be honest with you guys i bet i tried every gba game before i bought it and even though i could have been a pirate i was not i went and bought kingdom hearts ....why??? no not just because its a gr8 game and it is! but because i am what you call a LOYAL gammer i love square and id love to see more from there team, sequals depend on all of us LOYAL gamers and shadow is no less loyal than anyone else he just may be a lil smarter because he dont want to WASTE MONEY DURING INFLATION...lol but really i think that if its not still on the shelf then shut up and quit being corp.greed mongers!
