Rumour Mill Time - New PSone Emulator for PSP Announced

***wraggster*** · August 7th, 2006, 19:16

Recently we have had 2 very bogus emulator announcements, the port of Ultrahle the Nintendo 64 emulator to the PSP and the next day a PSOne emulator for the PSP, both turned out to be bogus and there was a theory that both news were just done for hits and may have been started by those particular sites (ive no proof but it certainly looked dodgy)

Anyway today a French team have posted that they are to release a PSone emulator before the end of the summer

Heres the translated news article:

Everyone knows that Sony will leave a PSone emulator for its PSP and that one will need upgrader to make use of it. PSP-GENERATION has just obtained exclusive information: another PSone emulator is under development, and will leave perhaps even before that Sony. This last will be free and function with the images of your own plays PSX.

I would not quote any source (secrecy obliges) but I can say to you to have already had an outline of what this future emulator will give. A version beta, not forcing put in public domain, should be testable in an immediate future.

In the announced functionalities, this emulator will propose:

- The support of the sound
- At least 50FPS
- The support of the images compressed in DAX or CIS
- Management of the memory boards of the PSX (virtually)
- The support of WiFi for the multijouor mode
- Other functions will come to be grafted progressively.

This should be born before the end of the summer and, at all events, before the exit of the official emulator. In any case it is what is announced

This news was made with an aim of informing you of this news, far from being alleviating, and reassuring the owners of PSP not wanting upgrader.

There you have it, fake or not we dont know, lets be honest with the right team and source code its very possible but this one is going to be a wait and see. At this time i will not link to the site where it was posted until maybe they can contact me and confirm, then ill promote it all the way.

Lets hope this isn't fake as I own a hell of a lot of PSOne games.

50FPS with full sound hahahahahha

absolutely fake. it would take a very long time for a psone emu to get that fast. just look at the n64 emu's, they have been worked on for months and months and i think right now they only get about 15 fps. i could always be wrong though, but i would bet this is fake.

I hope there will be a homebrew PSone emu, but, this seems almost too good to me...

***wraggster*** · August 7th, 2006, 19:31

actually i believe that if the source code of a certain emulator was available then a full speed PSX emu would be very doable.

but as far as i know that source code is closed at the moment.

**Briggzy11** · August 7th, 2006, 19:33

How fake can it get, 50fps just like that as well as Wifi??? the only person quick enough code something like this would be either Bill Gates or the owner of Sony (who I cant be bothered to look up on the net lol)

Consider this total BS however lets see if this french group proves me long because this would be the perfect PSP Homebrew Emulator

**xiringu** · August 7th, 2006, 19:35

well, fake or not, the truth is that there will be a free psone emulator on the psp. Maybe not this one, but somebody will try (or maybe is trying at the moment without us knowing

) to port any of the PSone emus on the pc or start a new one.

we all know the psp is able of handling it. the only question is going to be...when?

and I have the feeling that emulating the PSone on the psp is going to be easier than emulating other consoles.

after all, Sony made both of them. and the psp was designed with the idea of emulating the psone from the beginning..am I wrong?

just the same way, psx games play on the ps2. the only difference is that it hasn't been available right from the beginning of the psp.

let's see. anyway, the future looks promising

**jak66** · August 7th, 2006, 19:37

isn't a psx emu easier to get at full speed cause it streams the isos or something?
And it was a french team? Maybe ZX-81 is helping, which could explain the decent fps and all the extras (like sound, wifi, etc) , lol

**hack.fool** · August 7th, 2006, 19:47

well 50fps..multiplay..sound sooo gooood
maybe too much gooood
...but considering that we have coder like Nj..Zx..Monkey and many other ...as Wraggster say:lets be honest with the right team and source code its very possible
I think we just have to wait

i hope its real i have no codin knowlage but from what ive read i thought consoles that are similar can often emulate there close relatives alot easier, and im sure i read that they where the proposed specs
