Before, other threads said it was the same as the gp but with a lower clock speed.

Or it could be for PS1 emulation on the PSP. If they could emulate the PS1 hardware, game producers could make quick ports and have a ton of popular games available at launch. That was one of the big selling features of the PS2.moora101 posted on Jul 30 2003 said:
As Kraahl said, the legal implications for emulating a system they don't own are huge. It would also be incredibly ironic with Sony taking so much of a dislike towards Bleem...
What legal implications? As it's been stated hundreds of times, emulators aren't illegal, it's the roms. As long as Sony didn't officially use this as a selling feature, then who can sue them? They don't even have to take credit for the emulators. They get a couple of the software techs to make emus for some popular systems, then release the binaries and code under an assumed name (phearless haxorz or something) on a couple newsgroups and to some big emu sites. A few days later they make a big deal about suing the sites hosting it, but it's too late because it will be all over IRC and Kazaa. In one devious action they can vastly increase the functionality of their product, screw the compitition (with a full-speed GBA emu), and still claim that THEY are the actual victims. It's what I would do
To an extent, but popularity also has a bit to do with "what can I get for free?" The PSP is going to be disgustingly expensive, so it has to be worth-while. The younger market may not consider NES or even TG16 emulation to be much of a selling point, but if they knew that they could not only play the latest 3D games, but GBA and N64 games for as well, that might tip the scales. The N64 is still new enough that most kids have or have played it. Knowing that they could download and play for free all those games they wanted but never got for Christmas 5 years ago would probably make the PSP's pricetag look a bit smaller.
Look, I think it's safe to assume Sony is not going to adopt my "sneaky bastard" marketing strategy. I'm just saying it would be very effective, and a definate plus for us retro-dorks

i was wondering is there any sort of pictures of what the psp will look like?
If they found out that Sony actually made or supported the emulators there would be legal implications. Trust me.Chip posted on Jul 30 2003 said:What legal implications?

FAPPO!
i hate sony and all there about except the electronics.(?)
they stole all their best games, final fantasy and metal gear solid were ninty games.
plus their console is highway robbery, while the xbox and gamecube were slashing the prices repeadly like a butcher. sony decides to over charge for an inferior console.
and they are looking for emu writers for their ps1 AND ps2 for ps3.
the psp is stupid because it.........is. :huh:

It probably was. According to a Gamespy article from a couple days ago, the PSP won't be unveild until May '04. Launch titles will be announced in Sep., and although it didn't specifically say, I'd have to assume they're shooting for a x-mas '04 release.kraahl posted on Jul 31 2003 said:

That's why you do it in such a way that it can't be traced back. You can even cover your ass ahead of time in case someone DOES figure it out. A month or 2 before the release, you call Nintendo and say "We would like to license the GBA hardware and BIOS so we can make a legal emulator for the PSP." Nintendo will say either "No. Go screw" or "You want to emulate our product on your compeating product? No problem. Just pay us 192 trillion dollars and we've got a deal." At which point you say "Hmmm That's a little more than we are willing to pay. Nevermind then." After the emulator source is "stolen by hackers" you make a big deal about it to the press, fire a bunch of IT security guys, and bitch about how YOU were ripped off. You had the project under development because you had legitimate plans to license it from Nintendo. It's not your fault it fell through.kraahl posted on Jul 31 2003 said:
Look, if you simply left a couple of "accidental" security loopholes in the design that would allow development of emulators and homebrew titles, then secretly leaked them to the emu comunity, that would be enough.
The more functional the PSP is, the more valuable it is. A more valuable product can either be sold for a higher price or sell more units at the same price. It's all just good business, from a certain point of view.
