Have some PS1 games kicking around, or just are itching for some "Twisted Metal" action? Sure, you could go the
easy route and download them from the PlayStation Network, but what if you were one of the 99.9% of folks who couldn't get their hands on a next-gen console? Well today there was a new PS1 emulator released for the PSP that will apparently play most games, but like
previous attempts, there are still are some bugs that need to be worked out -- the intro movie on Final Fantasy 7 won't play properly (although the game itself is fine) and the L2 and R2 buttons don't always work right, for instance. So if you've got a PSP and a PSX but no PS3, this may be your only chance to load up your favorite classic titles for quite some time.

bbbbut i just upgraded to 3.0... *cries*

MGS 1!!!!! And no waiting in lines for 48+ hours!
AHHHHHHHHH THAT'S AWESOME!!1!
too bad I already play FFVII on my computer anyway...
You can load savestates.
Yeah, this ought to be good. Although I'm guessing users with newer firmware are going to be left out. And I find it irritating to have to own a PS3 to get these PSX games on my PSP.
So, I'm assuming the games would run off the Memory Stick, no? How much memory would FF7 require, are we talking 500+ MB?
You can compress the CD images to a very small size with PocketISO.
I'll give it a month until the guy gives up on it, But if he doesn't then it will be at least 6 months before it is anywhere near playable. I seem to remember a N64 emulator that was supposed to be great but where is is now?
OH NO'hs! I just flashed to 3.00 :( :( :(
And I was stupid enough to get 3.01, because the DRM-ed video I downloaded through P-TV didn't play...
Apparently they've locked their forum to the point where you can register but you can't download the emulator. That's LAME.
how do the l2 and r2 buttons work at all. Last time i looked at poor little Timothy (my psp's name) he didn't have no l2 and r2 buttons.
well on the offical games that you get from the PS3 which my friend has unfortunately i'm moving away. the control stick. left is L2 right is R2 and up is L2 + R2. not sure how it works for emulator cause i can't use it having the latest updates, which i updated long ago before i knew this emulator exsisted etc. not to mention i busted the w-lan receiver by slamming in on the ground cause of the dark stalkers clock tower umd game which i ironically lost and could never find even after i moved to where i am. anyways. enjoy and someone should really get an offical game and dismantle the coding. damn castlevania symphony of the night is 346 MB and it doesn't require a emulator download. guess its in the update or it is attached to the game itself. not sure.
