A new playstation emu?

**Fluff** · August 1st, 2005, 08:52

It's fake, heres the reasons.
1) At the start of the video he purposely holds the psp lower then what's viewable, so you cant see the Play icon from starting up the movie file.
2) Not only are the button pressed badly timed (Some are too early, some are too late, that doesnt speak 'processing lag' to me.
3) Why does he even bother pressing buttons until the "Sony computer entertainment europe" logo appears?
4) on the 'menu' at the beginning, (assuming its homebrew a simple menu wont have lag now would it? :/), he rotates the analog stick and for the first two at least its on time, then the third one is highlighted before his finger even reaches the left.. and once his fingers at the top, theres a small pause before the menu jumps to the top again., like i said, button lag is one thing, buttons moving before youve even touched the controls = fake.

And i ask you this, if you coded a psp emulator, you'd know the controls right?, so why would he keep his finger on the stick way into the video if he knew the gameplay was dpad? >_>,..
could do much better than that, hell even fake the whole launching of homebrew using some skill and flash with a swf>avi converter

there IS a real psx emu being worked on by pacmanfan i just hope this ff7 bull doesnt have noobs claiming pacmanfan's work is fake mistaking it for this lame thing

Exactly my thoughts, to me it looks like a video being played on the PSP. Look very closely at when he presses a button to close dialog boxes in the game, he's done a good job at the timing, but they're not perfect.

If he did encode a video, he really got his button presses in fairly good timing. Why would someone take time out of their lives to fool their own fellow gaming community? What do these kinds of people get out of it?

Yeah. You never see the hold button because he doesn't want you to see that it's active.

Because the world is full of A-holes, cheaters, and idiots. You haven't figured that out yet? Mainly, someone would do this so he could come on forums such as this and read the 7 page thread about people arguing it's validity. It amuses them.

Let's be real about what we see here, we see what "Could be" an actual emulator. We see a few seconds of a game that we all want to play. Do we see enough to grasp that the fps are top notch? No. Do we see smooth and classic speeds? No. Do we even see a real fight to see what would happen with lots of enemies on screen? No.

Let's not just 'assume' and make crazy statements like "Fully Optimized" till either we have a working copy to see ourselves OR we get more footage or beta confirmation that this is real. It could still very well be a hoax...

Look at the emus for SNES and Genesis, they are constantly being updated so that they will one day be able to play EVERY title in their libraries without frameskipping and overclocking. They aren't even "fully optimized" yet. Let's just wait...hold out before we just call the guys a liar...like Kxploit and mem swaps...it COULD BE real.

It was just a general statement, no need to jump all over me. I don't think he has an emulator... so its probably capable of nothing.

I'm not saying it would. Well an emulator would just load what files it needs into memory... not the whole ISO... an ISO isn't a ROM after all.

ill keep my hopes up and say its legit.....but i usually say the glass is half full. i think it would have to read from the memory stick wouldnt it....theres no way that it could dump the whole cd's data into the memory of the psp.

if this does come out and works nice i hope sombody come up with a program to transfer accual disks to the PSP like you put the cd in your computer and it transfers the iso or whatever it rips from the cd and slaps it on your psp's memory stick then deletes the rip from your computer so it couldnt be distributed....idk to keep it legal. so we can discus it on here :P

no disrespect... just curious is all

Francis Bueveau or something and Steve Campbell. It said who was developing it in the intro flash movie thing on their website. I don't know where their from... I didn't post it because I just didn't think of it really, I wasn't sure if anyone else knew about it. But yeah all the info I found on their website which was updated today by the way.

Hmmm I dont know why they even put their site up on geocities. Its down I think for the month because of exceeded bandwidth. Well they posted a mirror site when it was up http://playspsteve.tripod.com thats the one that was updated today, sorry forgot to mention that.
