Whatever Happened To SNES Emulators For The Playstation?

Posted by Cliff on from the anxiously-awaiting-vapour dept.

Kyudosha asks: "With the recent emergence of some of these high-quality SNES emulators for Dreamcast, I find myself wondering about those emulators that aimed to do the same thing for the PSX. I seem to remember a few... what happened to them? The PSX has good hardware, it should be able to handle SNES emulation, shouldn't it? Plus, with the advent of some of these compilers for the PSX, wouldn't it be easier to port, say, SNES9x to to the PSX?"

  1. You could just buy an SNES and pickup the carts... by Kris_J · · Score: 5

    ...from most pawnbrokers and second hand-ish places like swapmeets ("trash 'n treasure"). That's what I've been doing. However, the top accessory on this page is some sort of emulator plug-in for the PSX. There's an FAQ for it here. There's a NES emulator or two listed at that site too. But again, I strongly recommend that you actually obtain the original hardware, it's much more fun.
