Nintendo DS Emulation Hits the PSP - DeSmuME Test Release

[Dickhead]

The touch screen emulation is no problem, just use the analog stick on the psp with a button to select. It wont be as good as the real thing though and I guess the PSP screen will have to display both DS screens on its one screen.

maybe everyone should just chill out? especially Exophase.

the guy really is taking hits for something that he only means as an experiment.
he says very clearly that this is just an experiment, and he wants to see how far it can go. and he is not taking any questions on it.

is it really his fault that it gets snapped up by PSP sites?

he is also the guy who is made PSPtube, so cut him some slack.

at least it will run ds homebrew, or at the very least the pokemon games

I dont care if I get flamed or banned or whatever but on my computer I have Pokemon Diamond and Pearl running fullspeed with sound (lags a little in world map but I can deal).

And I set that all up within an hour of seeing this post.

Point is the PC can run NDS games. And decently too. So the PSP could, in theroy do it.

DS homebrew is ahead of the PSP in terms of graphics suitable for the system. Shura Doriimaa looks better then any homebrew I've seen on the DS... But if you're talking about 3D stuff, Payk's RPG looks better then anything I've seen on the PSP (except maybe that 3D puzzle game that came out not too long ago). It even surpasses commercial games in some aspects.

Can your PSP play F.E.A.R? What about Elder Scrolls IV? If it can, GIMMIE!!!

nice tech demo indeed

DS emulation will NEVER run well on PSP

bull****.they said the same for cps3 emulation.in mame there was written "the cps3 emulation will NEVER work.don't bother".yes in fact i'm playing warzard at full speed with my humlbe 1.4 ghz amd .....

we had to give him time to develop it

[hack.fool]

by now it's a nice experiment (n_n)
at least we can hope for future update

Everyone Calm Down. This isnt QJ, lol.

All I have to say is that, it may be very hard to see progress with DS emulation, but it is possible, not likely, but possible to get a fullspeed one running. Looking at the specs, I think it could be done. However, it would be to its advantage to be run on a PSP Slim instead since it has twice the RAM. The PSP specs are definitely higher than the DS processor wise, and graphic wise. I don't see a problem emulating it at a highspeed on a PSP, its just that the emulator would truly have to be highly advanced. And this is nothing close to that, no offense. I highly doubt I will ever live to see the day that such a highly advanced emulator would be created.

However, it should be noted that its possible. The DS Specs are truly not that great, the two processors are running at less than 100mhz. The touchscreen emulation would definitely be a huge problem to emulate. But once again, it can be done, like holding a button and using the analog stick (Not practical, but is do-able) . It would be nice to see how far this program can come along just for the tech news of it all. (But this port could be more news worthy if it were built from scratch)

With the proper coders at hand, a lot can be accomplished. If this were Sony making the emulator, which obviously it is not, I would have high hopes for it reaching full speed. Why? Because it is possible, and they have the capable coders to do it.

Wow, lots of young and/or silly people in this thread.

I suggest some of you learn the basics of emulation before you say its possible, since its quiet clearly not going to happen. Considering the source code of this emulator is only written in C it must of taken a whole 10mins to port in the first place.

We wouldnt even have a full speed PS1 emulator unless Sony made it, So count your lucky stars you have that. The only thing left to port which even has a chance of being full speed is a Mega/Sega CD emulator.

ZSnes i have no doubt we will get sometime, the only reason why it hasnt been ported so far is because porters tend to go for the quick and easy port of something, ZSnes is written in few diffrent languages and is far more complicated then Snes9x, however it would run full speed on the PSP.
