i was wondering if it is possible to port games from diffrent systems like playstation or n64
 
sure, it is possible
It would be more possible to make emulators, but even that has slim chances.
and MUCH more likely than emulating
but dont forget "ports require sourcecode"
 
Ok, simply because the source of playstation and N64 games are ALL closed source and quite hardware dependant ports wouldn't be very feasable... Emulation of such high end consoles is possibly (dependant on the open source of the emulator) but will be VERY slow unless some ARM ASM Guru works on making it as efficient as possible. Now the easiest and fastest running course of action is a total remake by reverse engineering the game and creating a similar game engine and recreating the game totally.
 
In short, the GP32 aint powerfulk enough to run that sort of thing, even if you could port it. This is mostly down to the lack of dedicated 3d rendering hardware.
 
have 2 dissagree since im currently playing Wipeout 3 on my ppc with an psx emulator
