Mame Working on the PSP

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-glorious-day dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The PSP Wiki site has posted a release of Mame the arcade emulator for the Sony PSP, heres an english site with Screenshots of the Emulator in action." I guess I won't need to go to such great lengths to play Pac-Man next time.

    reason #21 why i hate myself for upgrading my Jap PSPs firmware :(

    Just out of curiosity, what where the other 20 reasons?

    The DS has a huge advantage over the PSP. Namely, there are thousands of Game Boy games compatible with the system at launch. The PSP has a dreadfully small amount of games for it, and if they opened up the firm ware, they could have the entire cataloge of MAME games available just like that. DS's advantage completely wiped out. Sony is killing their own system, IM not so HO.

  3. How akward will Sony be about homebrew on PSP? by Omega+Xi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From what I read here about firmware (it's about the height of my knowledge on how PSP works) I'm guessing Sony is already trying to make it fairly difficult to run unlicensed software on the PSP. Personally I reckon that if there wasn't so much software availabe for x-box it wouldn't have sold nearly as well as it has (though I could well be wrong).

    Do you think a console manufacturer is ever going to embrace homwbrew software, or will they always do their best to stop it?
