I cant Wait, but hell the PSP is awesome!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/
Now, if they get this running, there's no reason why porting N64 wouldn't be possible. Since N64 has 3D GFX, it's fairly easy to stretch it to any desired resolution and keep it crisp (like it's done on PC N64 emulators).]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/
And no Emulators run on the PSP yet without doing the Swaploit method. 40mins until PSP-DEV releases another NEW method of getting homebrew on your psp

>emulate it perfectly yet

Huh? If this is the case, why have I completed two N64 games on Project64 with crisp 1280x720 resolution, texture blending and nice antialisation?

N64 emulation is really one the best working emulations on PC. Look for PS2, Dreamcast or Saturn emulation to find emulations that seriously lack compatibility. ;)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/

Oh, and to make "noswaps" comments a little clearer - yes, the "NoSwaploit" should be coming out today. That allows PSP users to run homebrew applications without the need to swap between two memory sticks to run 3rd party applications.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/
Which last-gen Palm device runs GBA full speed with sound? And are you talking about Firestorm? If so, than it's a long way from enjoyable, that's for sure. I don't know about GBA on the PSP, but if the SNES performance says anything, than it's going to be awhile, if ever.

1) To commenters saying "The PSP is too slow to emulate blah blah blah...":

Once upon a time not too long ago, computers were not any faster than the PSP, yet many emulators still existed. ZSnes for DOS ran full framerate SNES games on my Pentium 66 with 32MB of ram. Arguably, the PSP is quite a bit more powerful than this... And when ultra HLE came out, it would emulate many N64 titles pefectly on a Pentium 200Mhz with a voodoo card. Arguably the PSP is as powerful as this machine as well. Heck, even though it was a commercial failure, Bleemcast! Proved that even PSX emulation on the lowly Dreamcast was achievable.

Keep in mind that emulator authors have always liked to push the limit in terms of what is achievable. Most modern SNES, GBA, NES, etc emulators written for 3+GHz computers are written with very general purpose code because authors don't have to resort to time consuming and esoteric optimizations to squeeze every bit of speed out of the code. It's just not necessary anymore.

The PSP, though, unlike a modern PC is not two or three orders of magnitude faster than these systems though, and since these early emulators running on the PSP are generally ports of PC based emulators, they dont have the performance optimizations and speedups necessary to get full framerate out of the code yet. All that stuff has to be put *back* and that takes time. The PSP's graphics systems aren't all that well understood by the hobbiests yet, so keep this in mind because it means that there is another whole processor sitting there doing basically nothing at this point.

The most recent emulator that really impressed me was PocketNES -- it uses many tricks to achieve full speed NES emulation on the GBA -- things like offloading NES sprites to the GBA's own sprite engine (rather than just drawing to the framebuffer)

I think that with the widespread deployment of the PSP you will soon see a lot of good emulators on it in time -- possibly up to even PSX emulation (but there only due to the architecture similarities), and N64 (due to well understood HLE emulation on the platform) but doubtful you'd see anything Saturn/Dreamcast or better ever running...]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/
This means that they keep patching holes and exploits in the machine as fast as hackers open them.

If you are interested in running homebrew apps or emulators, you may as well never play any PSP games, or get a Zodiac.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/

So, making PSX emu for PSP could be actually easier to get to run at decent speed. Let's hope the FPSE pocketpc team has picked up their PSPs and are eager to port their work to another handheld.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Maybe it's because Sony can't come up with any good games on its own.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Q) "how about paying for the games?"

A) because we are all evil people out to ruin those SONY and Nintendo guys... or, if that doesn't make you feel better... some people, (myself included...) actually own some of these games. and i own the psp... and i own my psp usb cable, and my pc, and the memory stick in the psp... so... since i am assuming you are in your "complaining mode" about illegal uses... id be more than pleased to hear from you about what is so wrong with using, "My hardware", with "My games", and "Free Emulators"... maybe you could fill me in... because i was under the impression it was fine to do this.
who am i hurting? i paid for my copy of these games, and i AM going to do all i can to play them where i want.

so... there's your answer...

oh... and like (# 28) says... what is sony doing about this "lack of good games"? twiddling their thumbs... thats what.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/If there are hacks please reply and, if possible, give me the site that has an emulator for it.

.. 66MHz computers don't have 32mb of RAM, huh? Then explain my old DX-2 Lightning with four 16mb sticks of FP, on 72 pin SIMMS.

And Pentiums aren't 486's. God.

For someone who contributed to ZSnes, you're a little off the ball. ... either that or you're lying.

And my old P75 would run ZSnes under DOS with it's 64mb RAM without a problem, in 320/200 mode with no sound -- which at that stage was good enough for me.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/22/game-boy-advance-emulator-for-psp/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AM
