DS - PSP - EMU

Post by astrix »

For Emulating the older gamming systems on the go which is the better unit to pick up, The Nintendo DS or the Sony Playstation? Sooner or later I will have both, so I have decided the first one I get will be the one that makes the better emulator.

Have you considered the GP2X? It seems to be quite full of emulator-like goodness, although probably not as robust as the PSP offerings it's at least more open.

PSP is a great machine for emulation provided you can get one with a firmware that's downgradable to 1.5...

I've found the PSP's emulation so far to be pretty poor - especially MAME

The C64 and Atari ST emulation on the PSP seemed pretty solid (as of about 4 months back, haven't touched it for a while :? ).

compared to an x-box or pc, sure it's not as good but compared to other hand held platforms it's brilliant (imo).
It does snes, genesis, pc-engine, atari-st, c64 and scummvm very, very well - probably other stuff I haven't tried as well.

The only thing the DS can do with any reliability is ScummVM. I don't know much about the PSP or GP systems.
