Posted by samzenpus on from the time-to-play dept.

YokimaSun writes "This may be one of those projects that will get trounced on soon enough like the great Bleemcast Project, but a group of developers calling themselves the PPSSPP Project have released the first PSP Emulator for the Android OS, the emulator lets you play PSP Games with a touchscreen which was something PSP owners had wanted for years. At the moment games that are playable are Puzzle Bobble Deluxe, Puyo Pop Fever & Pinball Fantasies. The emulator has also been released for Windows and BlackBerry."

    [...] lets you play PSP Games with a touchscreen which was something PSP owners had wanted for years.

    I've never heard anyone want this. Is this anything like all the people who wanted a non-UMD version of the PSP, and eventually got it in the PSPgo, which promptly fell flat on its face due to lack of actual interest?

    Of course, I can always imagine an emulator being popular, if it plays copies of games (regardless of whether you consider this OK or not).

      The only additional control mechanism PSP users want is a second analog thumb stick. And maybe another set of shoulder buttons for PSX games.
