    What do you think? If the PSOne can be emulated i think the Dreamcast could be. Now im not saying its going to be easy. LOL

    On the PSP? Definatley no. N64 is probably the most advanced console to be emulated on PSP.

    yeah i doubt we'd ever see one as the coding would take a long time and would be very hard to get to run at decent speeds on the psp.

    Dreamcast doesnt stand a chance on the psp (not saying that someone ist goin to rtry it) There is only one decent dc emu for the pc and that freezes all the time and has lots of issues to Plus it is said that a dc emu is impossible for the xbox which is about twice as powerull than the psp. (I would love to have one though)

    really the dreamcast is pretty much on power with the ps2 and psp. So not a chance in hell

    Plus think of the size of the games on it.

    I've got a good 30 dreamcast games...if i had to back those up to take on the go.....you might get a few on a 4gb stick...but that is it.
