PSP's PlayStation emulator released, not by Sony
The homebrew community has beaten Sony to the punch, releasing the first PlayStation (1) emulator for PSP, called PSX-P. But, as this is simply the first public beta version, the emulator suffers from speed issues, among other defects. Riiiiidge Racer is reported to clock in at a paltry 10 fps.PSX-P is compatible with PSP firmware v1.00–2.71 (an eLoader is necessary beyond firmware v1.50).
Homebrew PlayStation emulator reaches beta
PS1 emulation is one of the most anticipated features for the PSP at the moment. You'll be able to download Riiiiidge Racer, and other PS1 classics to your PSP and play them on the go. Sony has been taking their time, and we've been waiting for any new information on things like price, available games, and interface. It appears that the homebrew community is sick of waiting-- it has just released its own emulator. Yoshihiro's PSX-P emulator will let you play bootleg PS1 games on the go, although the code is somewhat rough at the moment. To run it, you'll need an eLoader, which now supports firmware as high as 2.71.While we don't support downloading illegal games, hopefully this new revelation will make Sony wake up and get the PS1 emulation to us now. I really want to get my hands on Castlevania: Symphony of the Night some time soon, damn it![Via DCemu]
