The C64 was an awesome gaming device back in the days, especially considered the limited hardware capabilities. Manomio went ahead and brought the C64 back in the form of an emulator for the iPhone. C64iPhone is completely licensed by Commodore, but got rejected by the AppStore because the emulator breaks the iPhone SDK API, running executable code. It is expected that a new version will be released, only running the virtual emulator without BASIC code. Until then, all we got is the Youtube preview video of awesome C64 classic such as Bruce Lee and International Karate. When finally accepted, the C64 will come with 5 games included: Dragons Den, Le Read more »

First Playstation 1 emulator for PSP released
Yoshihiro (yes, that Yoshihiro) has release the first Beta of his Playstation One emulator. Though it’s far from playable in most games, it’s rendering the graphics pretty well and some 2D games have been reported to be at an almost playable rate. You can grab the emulator from PSP Spot, however, you’ll have to search for the Playstation One’s firmware SCH1001 somewhere else since it’s illegal to host it. (But if you Google a little I’m sure that you’ll find something in some obscure site/ftp) You can use the ROMs in BIN or ISO format and here’s where you need to place them, and the bios: BIOS – ms0:/PSP/GAME/__SCE__psxp/bios ROMS Read more »

DGEN 0.90 Released – Genesis/Megadrive Emulator for PSP
A new version has been released of one of the most popular Genesis( aka Megadrive) emulators for the PSP. It’s previous version was already quite good, all the roms I tested played and it had a nice little feature which is that it would take a screenshot of the game when you used a save state. The older version was a bit slower than the PSP Genesis emulator however, after testing both the emulators just now with Sonic the Hedgehog at 222Mhz, clearly, DGen was much smoother in both Normal and Full Screen modes. So, what are you waiting for, go get this great emulator and start playing your favorite Read more »
