At this point, there have been so many Sonic games on so many different platforms, that you don't really need to run an old school
Sega Genesis or Sega CD to play with the blue hedgehog.
Need, however, is not what this is about. A fellow calling himself Neon (whose real name is presumably Thomas Andersonn) has put together a proof of concept video to show off a custom PSP Go firmware capable of running Sega CD images. Alas, he's only keen to prove said concept for bragging rights alone, and there are no plans to unleash this unto the retro-loving world, but isn't it enough to know that you
can bring back all those memories of an insecure youth whiled away in a poorly lit room with a 12MHz console pushing about 200 pixels in total? Of course it is, check the video after the break.

well played.
& as soon as sony have a large enough install base, there will be the usual firmware patches to stop any sort of "free distractions" the evil home brew, as any option of games or apps other than ones sold by them is strictly not allowed.
sony taking a slice of every pie.

Haha, that line works perfectly with your avatar.
I got my psp Phat when it first came out... it has cfw and 4 gb memory stick... i want a 16 gb hard drive and the ease of use of the pspgo because i dont like the whole umd thing... i vowed once there is CFW on it i will buy it... so release a way to hack it and sony will get a sale from me
Mmmmmm... Night Trap...

I never did understand why people show these videos off with the promise that the software will never get released.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that a lot of work would have gone into building the emulator software, but it's like having been shown something in a shop window, knowing it's exactly what you want but you can't buy it.
Personally, if something like this was released it'd be one of the reasons why I would consider getting a PSP-GO. Otherwise I'll stick with my normal PSP slim and lite.
If released, I still don't think CFW would be enough to entice me to buy a PSP GO. I barely use my PSP Slim as it is.
I agree. Showing this and not releasing it is a huge dick move.
I'd have bought a Go today had they released this
How to sell more PSPGo: enable this.
Meh after someone Googles this they'll be able to find out all the other PSP's can do this with 30 minutes of your time and with a lot of other systems.
There's really no point to the PSPGo Internet let it die already...
Okay so we know at least one person bought a PSP Go.
Blast processing!!!!!!
15 MHZ PROCESSOR, FULL MOTION VIDEO, 32-BIT COLOURS.
WHHHOOOAAAAOOOOO
You may be smart, but the next time you decide to brag to the nerds on this site, please use the macro setting on your camera, or borrow one that has one.
Yes, your incredible achievement displaying the best sonic game ever looks like shit. :)
wow -- only reason I would get a PSP go
Does aybody else see the irony in a previously optical disc based game system emulating a past optical disc based game console add on?
brings tears to my eyes =___=
thank you, thank you, you're all far too kind
what so special about this? am i missing something? emulation has been around for years on psp
LOL!
yes it has been on the PSP Phat and slim but not on the new PSP Go!
er it was NEO in the Matrix not NEON.
" I think the image is pretty clear "
Wha!!!!
How many times do we see some crappy video of things like this. And since you'll "NEVER EVER" release it, then who gives a crap!
That's why the "Andersonn". Note the "nn".
Stuck in bed on what feels like deaths door so that was way too subtle for me in my delicate state!
If I'm not mistaken, my DS emulates the sega CD just fine (I had to have beaten Sonic CD somehow!)... how is this news?
Wait, what?!
(Heads to DCEmu to check)
Dream has come true!
