Official PSOne emulator for PSP announced
Friday, Mar. 17 2006 | Author: GriffithThe President of Sony Computer entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, has recently announced that an official PSOne emulator will be released for Sony’s great portable console and users will be able to acquire them legally through an online platform of some sort. However, there is yet no information on whether you will be able to pass your PS1 games directly to PSP.
With this measure (if it’s not too late), the PSP could very well enter a turning point and expand it’s game library by the thousands. But, you know what the best thing about this is folks?
*feels a tear running down his face*
I’ll be able to play Final Fantasy VII wherever I want… thank you Sony… *snif*

12Oh man! Fucking great new! MGS, FF7+8+9 on PSP.. WOW! I’ve heard somewhere that they’re gonna charge around 15 dolla’s per download. Still quite a bit of money, but at least it’s cheaper then UMDS!

ff8 is the best. can’t wait.
why do people like 7 more than 8?
8 kicks 7
April 24th, 2006 at 9:51 pm
16i’m with NEwschool, Bushido Blade kicks!!! FF7 also kicks too! But Busido Blade will slice up Cloud like tomato. Ahhh, the FF7 days, like they were yesturday. FF7 Advent Children rocks by the way, you should get it for PSP, very cool!!! Much better than the First FF7 flick.
I love my PSP :)

19Damn right
May 15th, 2006 at 2:24 pm
20I can’t help but wonder why, ‘xsa’, you still seriously care about homebrewing in the light of this news. The only ‘mega benefit’ is old console emulation, but surely this will be defeated by a, presumably flawless, PS emulator(a console that has games that are at least comparable to any previous release). I suppose you will not be able to read ebooks, but how long ’til they just bung one of those in a system update.
May 15th, 2006 at 9:43 pm
21hell ya so i could play final fantisy 7 on my (+.[___]::) thats tight when will it be coming out????

39Guys, guys, calm down. You need a whole damn ps3 to do the ps1 to psp emulation.
Screwed by Sony?
Again, yes.
Homebrew anyone?
December 18th, 2006 at 8:32 am
40Really nice and interesting website. Thank you a lot!

41you cant change the controller port you are using. for example in mgs, you have to change to controller port 2 to beat psycho mantis. its impossible to do this with this emulator.
January 30th, 2007 at 11:05 am
42hell i am so happy but where can we find these games or emulaters and how do we use them???
March 8th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
43does any 1 no how or if the official emulator could be torrented
August 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
44did L2 and R2 have functionality in FF7 8 or 9? only thing i can remember was Squall’s trigger for his limit break might have been R2, its been too long, therefore: SONY NEEDS TO GET FF7, FF8, and FF9 on our PSP’s NOWWW!!!
September 8th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
45You are all idiots.
Hello? Anyone heard of dark alex????
Get custom firmware and popstation and put all your ps1 games on your memory card. And, with the addition of 4.01 M22 cfw, you can customise the controller.
Wake up!!
September 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
46Sorry, that should say M33
