    So, to ask the obvious question... How long will we have to wait before the PSP runs OS X Tiger?

      No problem, I'll even set it up for you!

      Just send me your PSP and a 6GB memory stick...

    Now all they need to do is make a psp emulator for windows and the cycle shall be complete.

    Emulate x86 on a psp running windows and then emulate a psp on it and so on!

    Although it may cause one of those universe destroying events.
    Perhaps Cthulu will rise by running them recursively.

      You are so first half of 2005. The hip thing to ask is whether it runs OSX/x86 these days...

    "The story title is incorrect. The emulator runs DOS and not Windows. Its not as easy to get Windows running on PSP I guess."
