PS2 emulation on PSP

[mfz64]

I was wondering if it was even possible that the PSP could emulate the PS2. At first i thought that there was no way....but now, since i've owned more and more games for the psp, some games have identical or at least near, PS2 graphics.......e.g. Tekken: Dark Ressurection. So, with the graphics that i saw from that game, i think it would be possible that the PSP can emulate the PS2....don't you?

no its not possible.

Emulation takes a lot of overhead.

There are still tons of PS1 and even SNES titles that we can't get running at decent fps.

You will not see any PS2 emulation for this model of the PSP, and likely not for the redesign either.

No, it's impossible. A console/handheld cannot emulate another one with similar hardware.

No matter how close the graphics are to each other, yeah an emulator would be impossible. However, you could port games from ps2 to psp, however youd have to have legal source code and tone down the graphics and the project itself would probably only be undertakable by a development team from some company with more resources then the psp homebrew scene.

besides the games are like 4 gigs to 5,6 bla bla... you think you can play such games?

One small yet BIG word...

NO!

...It isn't possible, the PSP can only just about handle 32BIT emulation of the PSone. It would never handle games from a 128BIT games console, asking about PS2 is just like people asking for Dreamcast (also a 128BIT machine) on PSP

There are so many threads asking the same thing.

[cataphrax]

Would it be possible to emulate it but just reallly slow and badly?

[parkermauney]

Probably wouldn't be able to get past the menus even if it was possible.
