PS3 online network


All the news just keeps pouring in! A little while after our original post about the PS3's online network, one of our dedicated readers Rami was kind enough to translate all the Japanese text on the PlayStation online network for us! While the gist of his translation was about the capability of the PS3 online network, there was a small bit of info there which will be great news for our PSP readers too! If you're interested, here's the full post with all the juicy bits left in!

The thing which PSP owners should know is that right now, you will need a PS3 to enjoy PS1 games on your PSP. But if we recall correctly, Sony have announced that it will be possible to buy PS1 games right off your own PSP, or maybe even your PC. We believe it's only a matter of time before Sony get around to doing that.

For now, here's what you'll see in the PLAYSTATION store on your PS3 with regards to the PSP.

PLAYSTATION STORE:
A small list of PS1 games available for download shown (Can only be played on the PSP for now)

  • Bio Hazard Director's Cut
  • Konami Antiques MSX Collection V1
  • Konami Antiques MSX Collection V2
  • BishiBashi Special
  • Arc the Lad
  • Jumping Flash! Aloha Danshaku Funky Daisensou no maki
  • Minna no Golf 2
  • Silent Bomber
  • Tekken 2
  • Mister Driller

Frankly, the need for PSP firmware 3.0 is sorely being felt. And I think I'm gonna backtrack on my speculation when I said that 3.0 won't have PS1 emulation. It does seem that 3.0 will have PS1 emulation. Secondly, for all you lucky guys with their PS3s, you can start downloading the games now so that come 3.0 launch day, you will already have the games ready for transfer to your PSP.

And looking at the insane amount of hype building up with regards to the PS3, we're sure that there's lots more PS3-PSP interconnectivity which we haven't even seen yet. And don't you worry, because we will be getting our PS3 soon; there's no need to go anywhere else for your PS3/PSP news! And finally, a big thanks to our loyal reader MGSROCKS1/Rami for translating the juicy bits; we love ya!

 » Lol, sony

Sony is forgetting one thing: They haven't stopped us yet.
I bet the games will be able to be pirated, just like UMD ISO images, and the emulator will be decrypted from the firmware somehow or Booster will come back with a mind-blowing Devhook :D
Just my two cents :)

 » Devhook!

Devhook for 3.0 ftw! :P Hopefully their emulation will give us a pretty nice insight into homebrew PS1 emulators out there. Hopefully they will also have a good selection of games out there, mostly/hopefully the FF series. IMO I will ditch homebrew apps if i have to in order to play FF7, 8, and 9. ^^ Can't wait.


   Re: CarXCrashXHearts - 2006-11-12

That's what they all say. And then they go whining to developers for a downgrader.

Some of you people are such asses Sony realeses these excellent free feature and you throw it right back at them with:

"LOL wE CaN stil play oUrs awsme iSoS for frees lolzzzzz"

Talk about the fact that they are giving you free feature not the fact that you can screw them over with ISOs and not update.

I'm Kinda worried about Booster.. since we haven't heard a single word from him. Not even a 'Goodbye i'm leaving the scene'


   Re: Booster (Unregistered) - 2006-11-12
 » Booster

I am not surprised at all if there is already a deal between Sony and Booster that he will NOT do anything in Devhook development anymore. Perhaps Sony may have hired him already.

Some of Boosters friends have an internal beta of devhook w/ 2.8 emulation ;)

a PS2 Emulator is kinda impossible... the PSP's Processor isn't powerful enough,,, PS2 needs at least 400mhz... psp Has 300mhz.... so yeah.. seee why now..

..Sony did announce PS1 and PS2 games would be PORTED (yes; these games are being ported not emulated) for the PSP.

 » Old

This isn't really news! I've known for ages that 3.00 will technically have nothing to do with the PS games, as they're not technically emulated. They work exactly the same as a demo, except with encryption for different firmwares. It also looks like us Europeans, despite not getting a PS3 until March at the earliest, we still will be able to get PS games through the European PSP Downloads Store.

 » No need for a PS3

IMHO, you won't read that you don't need a PS3 to play PS1 game on the PSP, in THE PS3 Website :D

They want you to buy PS3 with that Website, so they won't say that you won't need it for that ;)
