The PSP homebrew community definitely stepped things up this week, releasing a slew of useful apps and enjoyable games for the PlayStation Portable. Perhaps most impressive, someone has once again taken on the task of coding a Nintendo DS emulator that runs on a PSP. A PSP that plays DS games? Who'da thunk it? Read on for the rest of the week's big releases in the PSP homebrew Weekend Warrior.

Good news for the PSP community! Homebrew dev Yoshihiro is back to release DSONPSP, a Nintendo DS emulator for the PSP based on DeSmuME. The first beta version of the homebrew emulator was released by the dev yesterday and shortly thereafter, beta 2 was published to add more features in the homebrew.

We're already driving into the weekend, expecting to hit the usual slowdown on updates, however, recent developments in the QJ forums (thanks for the tip, Glynnder!) have made us think that this is probably one of the homebrew community's most intense weeks in a long time. The OE source code, Team Wildcard's 3.40 LE CFW, Dark AleX actively talking to Sony, and now... a Nintendo DS Emulator on the PSP.

For all intents and purposes though, and right off the bat, we'd have to say that we can't host the download. One of the main reasons is that the emulator taps into the BIOS - thus leading to its illegality - and the second reason being its infantile stage. We hear the emulator isn't working all that perfect; running games ends up in lock ups and glitches.

So right now, we'd just have to report about its existence, and for the sake of discussion, talk about the implications. One of the biggest hurdles here, of course, is that, how would a DS emulator work without the DS' biggest features: the touchscreen? The experience of getting to play the real Nintendo DS will be watered down in an emulated Nintendo DS on the PSP, but see, isn't that what emulators are defined as?

We know you have a lot of questions, proclamations, and out bursts of joy. So we'll leave you with two options: 1) you may comment below, or 2) proceed to the forum thread for an in-depth discussion. However. Please bear in mind that we will not tolerate any links, information, or other details on where or how to get ROMs and illegal files.

Many thanks to Glynnder for sending in the tip!
