Hello all!

im a newbie here and just thoughtid start things off with a good question

With the PSP coming soon, i thought it would be posable if emulators and roms will run on this new portable system. think about it by using the memory stick we can access roms and emus. and since u can d-load game demos (hopefully in tthe future) i thought the same would apply to the system.

well thers my 2 cents

enjoi

This would be difficult for two reasons.

1) The PSP is a bit less powerful than the PS2. Making emulators for the PS2 can be tough due to limited power, so this will be even worse on the PSP.

2) Sony is so determined to stop homebrew development for the PSP that they've put on such an assload of protection that it even slows down commercial games as a side effect. You've got to be pretty fucking determined to pay that price. As an additional side effect, I'll probably buy a DS instead when the time comes.
