PSX Emu on the PSP, Possible or Not ?

[Omatic]

I honestly don't know much about porting or anything like that, but I will say that just about everything up to the N64 SHOULD be possible on the PSP, looking at the specs.

Since the hackers / homebrewers don't have the SDK that the game makers have, they can't just come right out with an emulator that runs at 100% speed immediately.

As best exemplified by the UO_SNES9X emulator by "y", it's a slow but steady process. Gradually, as the programmer does whatever he does, the emulator gets better and better.

All this talk of emulation. Yes its possible. and if we dont see a ps 1 emulator for the psp by this time next year, weather its running crapy or not, I"ll eat my words.
But somone had a very Good idea once when we went over this in another thread.

Direct ports are the answer here with direct ports, maybe even some ps2 stuff might even be possible. Maybe instead of focusing on the problems, focus on the solutions for a little while. Somone doesnt need to make a emulator, They need to make a port conversion Tool. To prep these games to be ran on the psp as direct ports. yeah yeah I can hear it now !!! Hes F***ing crazy do you even know how much effort Blahh Blahh.. The Fact Remains It can be done ! End of story :P

you kind of need the SOURCE to do a port you know..... Please, tell me how you plan on distributing the leaked source of a PS2 game. Its not like you can run a batch file that just automatically makes the psp understand the PS2.

Its possible I agree with you on that.

However, converting emulators is not the key. Thats the major problem with the emulators now. A lot of them are just conversions making for slow performance. If a progam was started from the ground up and made specifically to utilize the PSP's hardware it would have a lot more potential then just a simple port.

Of course by the time a some-what decent emulator for the PS1 arrives large capacity and more importantly CHEAP memory stick duos should be out.

How much space does a typical PS1 game take?
(I never really got into PS1 emulation on the PC)

A tipical game could take anywhere from 400+ to 600 megs on one disc a multi discer well that another story :P

But i have seen some ps one games some of the generation one stuff only tak up about 100 megs. DBZ Final Bout ps1 al ziped up only takes about 68 megs.

hmm that would kill anyones memory stick quickly. thanks for the information

but hopefully by the time they actually release something like this, they'll have 1 and 2 gig memory sticks and maybe even bigger ones much, much cheaper and more readily avaliable than they are now, maybe making this more possible

[shadowprophet]

Oh i can conferm that one giger stick is already out
I got one, There the complete snizzle, I realize that was probibly just an oversite on your part but i couldnt pass it up

[PSP_Newbie]

sry, bad wording, yeah i know, the 2 gig sticks are out alrdy too(like $400) i just meant that they'll hopefully lower the price a hellavu lot by then^^

[shadowprophet]

I want a 2 gig stick so bad I can taste it.
But I refuse to buy one untill they drop to a reasonible price.
there asking an outragious ammount for them. To be honest I woundnt buy one for that price even if I had the money seventy times over. For how stupid I would feel paying that much for one
