PSX ImageA French PSP website, PSP-Generation has informed us that the alpha build of Yoshihiro's PSX emulator will be released tomorrow! Before we go into the exciting news, I would just like to remind everyone that this is an Alpha build and may not run many games at all.


If you recall, PSMonkey / Nexis2600 released the first N64 emulator and it could only play a few demos with poor framerate. So, if you are expecting to play a Final Fantasy game on this emulator tomorrow, I would suggest brining those thoughts down as it most likely will not be playable.

As my High School French is fading away, I managed to grab some important information from the site. This early build will be released with the ability to use ISO and BIN files - just need to worry about getting a big enough memroy stick! The emulator will be released tomorrow at approximately 8:00 PM. I'm assuming this is the time at which it will be in France / Europe at the time, so that will translate into - 2:00 PM EST.



Update: Seems as if there was already a video uploaded of the emulator in motion! Huge thanks to MrDank for taking the video (don't ask him for the emulator) and for telling us about it! You can watch the teaser video and one of gameplay videos below:

Update 2: Added two more videos of PSXP in action, this time with Tekken 2 and Ridge Racer 1

 » FINALLY! Someone's working on a PSX emu.

It's about time someone is working on a PSX emu. Here, everyones trying to make an N64 emu, yet no one is working on a PSX emu, which would have a better chance of being playable. The alpha release probably won't work so great, but lets hope in the future that this emu becomes as hard-worked on as Daedalus, because if so, maybe it could become playable.

Besides, a lot more people own a PSX than an N64... I personally thought PSX was a better system (RPGS).

I was beginning to wonder if we'd see a group who'd work on a PS1 emu for the PSP. Just another awesome piece of homebrew to look forward to!

How are thease going to work?!?
-Right and left Analog(all axis)
-L3 R3 Button
-R2 L2
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

There is no L3 or R3 buttons on the PSX. Those two buttons were introduced in the PS2, I believe. The Sound button and Screen button could be used as L2 and R2, but it would be a akward. The two analog sticks aren't required for all games. FF7 doesn't use them.

Great start at a emulator, but I'll wait until its at playable speeds or for the official one by $ony.

What about Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!!!! ?

   by JCMC (Unregistered) - 2006-09-23
 » Oh yeah

Yeah I sort of forgot about that. Well some of the earlier games would work great without those buttons. Everything before Ape Escape :P. I have the old demo somewhere at my house.

Aren't roms from cartages and cds are isos?

 » psx-p :)

hmm this is good news, great news infact especially if it gets running to a playable speed which i think is very possible due to the fact sony are making an official emulator. i think in the long run this might harm sony sales in umd games...but memory stick sales...particularly larger capacity sticks will fly off shelves.

 » Why the hostility in these threads?

I've only been here (QJ.net) for a week and I'm amazed at how many of the comments come off as rude or plain vicious. Why don't you just enjoy the fact that some people actually try to use their brain for constructive stuff - like programming all these wonderful stuff for your hardware.

Imagine the expertise it takes to pull off some of these things - despite Sony's efforts to prevent them. A little gratitude is the least one should give.

Lastly - who gives a **** about timezones??? The guys running this site are clearly working at maximum speed without us paying them (there are new publications popping out constantly here) - if you don't like to get the latest info on the PSP stuff, go to a site that fits you better.

 » Cool

But umm, this is by Yoshihiro and if you remember his 2.0 downgrader video, boy it looked real, but it was later proven fake. I really hope Yoshi's changed his ways.

 » cool i guess

This is nice and all but I think I will wait for the sony one. First off it will work much better since it is being programed by professionals with official tools.
Secondly Sony will most likely stream line the games to make the file size the smallest it can be to run so no need for a huge iso file.
Last but not least they will have a list of games that run on it. Unlike this where it is pretty much trial and error as to what games will play. Although it wouldn't take me more than 5min to download a PS1 iso I don't want to have to download a large iso file just to find out it doesn't work.
Don't get me wrong I have great respect for all developers and the time and effort they put into their creations. It is just that this is not something I am really excited about.
