Just wanna know if it's possible.

Maybe a PSP emulator?

Not yet.

no psp emulators for nobody. you might be able to play one or two games, but that's it.

don't bother searching for one.

Can PSP games be 'ported' to normal PSX?

I know normal PSX games like FF7/8/9, Gran Turismo, etc, can be played on the PSP.

It should be possible to reverse the process...

i've never heard of it, and i doubt it.

Kranmer · « **Reply #5 on:** 2009-07-29 11:29:32 »

i am pretty sure a PSP is alot more powerfull then a PSX and thats why it can emulate a PSX i very much doubt it could ever be done the other way round. (i dont have a PSP and i dont know the stats but this is my guess)

The PSP can run PSX game through a emulator (just like on the PC). Games aren't translated. It has a somewhat similar main procesor, but as far as I know that's where their likeliness ends. The video hardware definitely has nothing to do.

No that's impossible. They don't run the same games, the PSP emulates the PSX environment!

falkTX · « **Reply #8 on:** 2009-07-29 12:19:11 »

So, it's like PS2 runs PS1 games (emulation), but PS1 cannot run PS2

I guess that's it... Dammit! I want to play Crisis Core...

Could you get it to run on a PS2?

not without a emulator (which doesnt exist), And i also dont think a PS2 would be powerfull enough either.

falkTX · « **Reply #11 on:** 2009-07-29 12:29:52 »

hm... I don't that's possible too

Kranmer · « **Reply #12 on:** 2009-07-29 12:33:11 »

i think the only way to currently play CC (at the current time of this post) is to buy or borrow a PSP there is no other system at current that can play it.

you're saying the ps2 isn't powerful enough to emulate psp?

it certainly is, only problem is there isn't an emulator.

Wow...just wow.

OK, I'm not an expert on emulation, but there's one thing I have noticed. For a machine to be able to emulate another one, the one with the emulator usually has to be much more powerful that the one being emulated (if anyone out there is an expert on emulation and knows better, please prove me wrong). It might be possible for a machine to emulate an only slightly less powerful one, but I imagine that would require an amazing emulator and no-one is going to bother making one of those for an obsolete console. In any case, there isn't going to be a PSP emulator on the PS2.

So anyway, wait a few years and you might have a PSP emulator for the PC, or even for whatever incarnation of the PlayStation is out then.

Kudistos Megistos I think your pretty much right there (i am also no expert but your opinion is pretty much the same as mine).

well i was under the impression the PSP is clocked at 333Mhz and the PS2 was 299Mhz so i didnt think it would be capable to emulating it (well not at a playable speed anyway) But like i said above i an expert so i very well may be wrong, I dont own either so i am unsure.

psp is indeed clocked at 333MHz and the ps2 is indeed clocked at 299MHz, but the ps2's graphic engine is much more powerful than the psp's. also, the ps2's cpu is much different than the psp's one, as in it's much better (more cores with different tasks, etc.)

i'm not an expert either, but the psp is a ps2 made worse as far as i can see.

it says there, "it can run a few games at a decent speed". by few i get it as 4, 5 and by decent speed i get it as, what 70%, maybe 80%.

EDIT: saw the compatibility page, it displays 7 games which aren't very well known (astonishia story, bust a move deluxe, breath of fire 3, blokus portable: steambot championship, puzzler collection, puzzle quest: challenge of the warlord, super fruitfall) most of which (if not all) don't run at full speed and still have several issues.

KnifeTheSky77 · « **Reply #21 on:** 2009-07-29 20:31:33 »

Of course its not going to be able to play ANYTHING, yet. It's latest build is named version number v0.3. But it is by far not a DEAD project so maybe one day you will see crisis core on a pc for you hopefuls out there

jin_kazama · « **Reply #22 on:** 2009-07-29 20:45:39 »

it's a year old and it's still at 0.3. i can't see it going anywhere.

and also, if you need a quite good system to run NDS at full speed in EVERY game, i wonder what kind of computer you need to have to run EVERY psp game.

Borde · « **Reply #23 on:** 2009-07-29 21:06:47 »

It took the PCSX2 team several years to get something to go beyond the first couple of screens of any game (not to talk about displaying remotly correct 3d graphics...). Cut them some slack, I think they are actually being pretty speedy. I see some problems though. Maybe It's just me, but I don't see an emulator programmed in java running at decent speeds (unless the machine running it it's a really powerful). Of course I'm talking about games such as Crisis Core, all those simple 2D games can run even on relatively weak machines as we've seen.

i also thought of it as very very weird when i saw that that psx emulator is written in java, while most are written in c, c# or c++ i think.
