Hey what's up guys does anyone heard about PPSSPP emulator the PSP emu?
I've just found out about it today and thought sharing with you.

PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0. Anyone is welcome to contribute their improvements to the code, and the hope is that over time this will resolve the compatibility problem.

Fast and portable
PPSSPP is written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler.

PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there's support for OpenGL ES 2.0.

I hope enjoy

When the proposed ARM HLE support rolls around, we can then build this on the N900 and N9/50

Sweet, I've been waiting for this for a while.
Does anyone know the state of Dreamcast and PS2 implementations ??


PS This is why I like Qt > Java. It runs much faster, on slower hardware (efficiency) and it is just as compatible, if not more when the App is created in C++ first then converted to iOS and Dalvik.

Impressive and it runs at least such "2D" games surprisingly fast already

Ok just a noob question: haves the psp lover hardware specs than the n9?

@kanser: The n9 has better specs (quite big difference).
The PSP uses one 333 MHz MIPS32 R4000-based CPU and includes 32 MB RAM. In comparison, the n9 has a 1G'Hz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU and 1GB of RAM. You can read the wiki pages of the two for more info.
However, you can't really compare the two as they are used for different purposes, one is a portable gaming console and the other is a mobile phone. (Other than that, they alsp have diffrent CPU architectures that's why emulation is required).

Just by clockspeed alone the N9 is 3 times faster. And remember the architecture and RAM are also faster on the N9. I would say its at least 10 times faster than the PSP.

I don't think the N9 is powerful enough to emulate it properly (compared to like PSX emulator), but even with sloppy coding the N9 can show superior graphics...to that 8 (?) year old device.

As a rule of thumb, for a good emulation you need a hardware at least 10 times faster than the emulated hardware if I recall correctly...
