Playstation Emulator for PSP Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-the-games-editor-misses-the-dreamcast dept.

Joan Cross writes "Today sees the release of the first Playstation Emulator for the PSP to play commercial games; the emulator plays games such as Ridge Racer at up to 10fps, and once dynarec is added full speed is easily in grasp. The emulator works on all PSPs except those with firmware 2.80 and higher." Update: 09/26 12:19 GMT by Z :Fixed dept.

    From Engadget:

    ...users of [firmware versions] 1.5 and above obviously requiring the eLoader exploit.

    ...which still requires editing of savegames, which still requires a copy of GTA, which still isn't legal (at least according to SONY). Why can't SONY come out with their own, viable version or a PS1 emulator already? Besides, who wants to play these games at a max of 10FPS when the human eye can see at a solid 16FPS itself?

    Dynarec (while being a pretty cool little contraction) has rarely brought the speed emulator authors promised. I'd like to see the authors of this emu blame its slowness on my hardware not being up to snuff.
