N64 emulator for PSP

[TAPION]

Are there any great N64 emulators for the PSP, i really want to play perfect dark and of course Goldeneye

[ganon]

no, but i hope it is in the works

you know, i find it really annoying how people post misleading titles. I generally try to avoid this guys posts because i normally just end up flaming him for not knowing what he is on about it. Use your common sense meight, if there was an n64 emulator then you'd know about it, you've been here long enough.

Your title: N64 emulator for PSP
A modified title: N64 emulator for PSP?

A question mark makes a big difference. If you don't put in a question mark, people will get confused.

But, yes, I hope there will soon be an N64 emulator for PSP... (then I can play a portable Super Smash Bros. )

I strongly doubt anyone will be able to pull this off... the N64 has a clock speed of 93MHz, while the PSP has a maximum clock speed of 333MHz. Generally, the host system has to be ten times more powerful than the system that's being emulated in order to get good emulation. If someone were to release an N64 emulator on the PSP, you can pretty much count on it being as slow as dirt. Not that speedy dirt they put in race car stadiums and demolition derbys, either.

UltraHLE changed that assumption

That's only because UltraHLE barely emulates the hardware. All it does is interprets the software, similarly (yet more complexly) to how ScummVM works.

Also, I helped out the title a bit.

Never gonna happen

I know squat about emulation and I know that, just like I know there's never gonna be a Playstation emulator for PSP either. As stated I agree someone may attempt it (doubtfull) but it won't be worth the bandwidth.

[ArugulaZ]

Well, the Playstation has a slower clock speed and was more open to outside development (remember the Yarouze?), so that's not ENTIRELY out of the realm of possibility. After all, the Dreamcast with its 200MHz processor could handle Playstation games, or at least a few of them. It probably could have run a lot more, had Bleem released the Bleemcast! packs instead of emulators for single games.

However, emulating the Playstation on the PSP would be exceptionally difficult, and I doubt that it could run at full speed unless the designer could find a way to take advantage of the system's 3D graphics hardware.
