Mmmm portable Resident Evil.

[YourStillWithMe]

see that people? Final Fantasy friggin owns! Finfal Fantasy VIII forever! anyone know anything about the "Cost" yet?

[rock_light]

can't believe more ppl are psyched about this than the camera.

i doubt most of these games will look much better than on pc epsxe.
epsxe has save states and basically free games cuz eveyone has psx games lying around.
finally, how do you expect to play ff7-8 with any less than a 2gb card anyways,

Questions I have:
Are you allowed to backup your roms onto cd? What's to stop pirates from getting around that?
Are the games edited/altered for more compatibility?
How much will games cost roughly?
Is this why US never saw most PSX ports for PSP so far? (Bof3,MML1&2,ToD2)
Is this emu based on CVGSsrc?

Unless...
$ony uses this as a chance to release previously un-released versions/translations of games we never saw in our reigons!
THEN THAT WOULD BE INSANELY AWESOME!!
Rockman Complete Works in eng, FF7 Jap ver!?!
FF8w/chocoboworld poket station support.

I would buy a mod for those games, but i still wouldn't update.

I want FF7 definitely - I still have the PS1 ver kicking around somewhere.

[mat_dizzy]

it would probaly come out on umd seing as they want as many people to upgrade from 1.5 possible!

i would actually buy it... but considering im not really for buying emulators... but c'mon, psx on ur psp?

anyway i would want to have pandemonium, the crash banicoot games and spyro games on mine... and possibly tomb raider!

thanks for the info

"finally, how do you expect to play ff7-8 with any less than a 2gb card anyways"

they said ridge racer came out at ~40 mb after compression

remember the ps1 wasnt powerful enough to decompress textures, sounds or movies on the fly so they all had to be stored in wasteful uncompressed formats.


"Are you allowed to backup your roms onto cd? "
doubtful. i think sony have already said they will be released through an e-distribution service

"What's to stop pirates from getting around that?"
not too sure.... it seems to me that you could simply rip your downloaded eboot on to ur pc and bit torrent it away. maybe they are taking an itunes-esque approach and selling the games cheap enough to make it no point in pirating. if each game was < 10$ i would prefer to browse an official online catalogue even though i am constantly getting stuff off bittorrent

"Are the games edited/altered for more compatibility?"
they will have to be for a lack of 2 shoulder buttons

"How much will games cost roughly?"
no idea, hopefully <$10 but deffinately <$20 (thats my opinion tho)

"Is this why US never saw most PSX ports for PSP so far? (Bof3,MML1&2,ToD2)"
doubt it

"Is this emu based on CVGSsrc?"
no idea what that is



i think this is awesomness incarnate. being able to find all those rare games without trawling through second hand shops. if they are cheap enough this could rocket the psp's popularity

but sony and cheap are very rarely seen together. its either expensive (ps3) or free (pnp online network)

[zackforbing]

Touché, $ony. I'm suspicious- they must have known about the UP when they announced this, and are waiting to actually RELEASE the emu until they've found a way to block the UP.

On that thought, it makes me wonder how many OTHER SWEET innovations somy has sitting in a drawer somewhere, waiting until the next big homebrew thing comes out, then they fix it in the next firmware and then slap something out of that drawer onto the FW to get kids to upgrade. *******s.

[tophead420]

Mmmm portable Resident Evil.
