Oldies on the PSP

Well, found a SNES emulator for the PSP. And to be frank it's lush

So the wife will be happy with her Final Fantasy III on PSP for when she goes travelling and I can fiddle with it to get other emulators working.

Finally! More than 3 good games for the PSP!

This, is what dreams will be made of.

Edit : Didn't notice version 0.31 was out

Pity it's still a bit slow

What do you need to do to get emulators running on the PSP? Do you have any links to interesting faq's?

Sensi on a PSP! That's class that is.

Does the thumbstick work as a control method?

The analog stick is used as a mouse replacement.

No real intresting FAQs out there afaik, but I'm going to write up a quick one with a few screenshots and games that can/can't work.

Get SCUMMVP. You just need a big enough stick for some of the games

Regarding emulation on the PSP...

Should I buy an import PSP as I have heard that Sony are changing the firmware for the UK release? Therefore should I get one from abroad or will the emulators eventually work on the UK models?

It seems very likely that, especially with the latest release of firmware 2.0, the euro models will come with the latest firmware.

So yes an import may be necessary, but check the homebrew scene

Where there's demand, there's cracks. So while you can homebrew your PSP 1.5 now, it's very likely they'll figure it out for firmware 2.0.

On another note just put an update to the gamelist up. Including :

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it again. Emulation is the killer-app for the PSP. Absolutely no question. Those screenies get me wet. The screen is *made* for Stargate. A portable SNES or Amiga with that screen is almost irresistible.

Such a shame The Man is out to crush it.

Well, downloaded it and put BaSS on it. Will put Monkey Island 2 on it afterwards.

It's kinda sad playing BaSS. Made me think, "Damn, I used to adore Monkey Island. It was brilliant."

So I google a bit with it ... and end up at to me the original Monkey Island haunt. Scumm Bar (http://www.scummbar.com) and they've shut down shop! Moving to some other site and leaving the current one open but never again it shall be updated. I remember going there YEARS ago.

Going to read the comic now ... *sniff*

I really hope someone ports a C64 emu to it sometime soon.

An initial Stella port (VCS2600) has been made which looks OK...

Yes a C64 emu would be nice - And I would DEFINETLY buy a PSP
