Wanna Play Your Ps1 Games On Psp?

[Shikaku]

First of all... =/ the screen is not worth getting a PSP. I don't care that I can play PSX games. I hate the screen because it's so ghosty!

Attention, We have a pure GP2x Fanboy here LOL...

First of all, Do you even Own a PSP to have a proper go on and look at the screen??? Personally I think the screen is great and the PSP is well worth it.. Technically it can do all the GP2x can do (I think) and more eg Perfect PSX emulation etc Dont get me wrong the GP2x is great but I think Im now glad I stuck with the GP32 and got a PSP. I think the only thing I would like a GP2x for nwo would be the TV Out feature...l make it easier to convert them Plus I like the way that you can boot the PSX Games straight from the PSP Game menu

I own a DS Lite and have seen it ghost BADDDLLYYYY as well (play Super Mario World on it).

And I have seen and held a PSP, and all I see is a ghosty mess. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about... =/

You don't know what you are talking about. I have a PSP, have played several PSX games on it. They are perfect with no i repeat NO ghosting.

But if you don't want perfect PSX emulation, and just say "I have seen and held a psp", your loss.

I know what I am talking about because I am about to go and play Gran Tourismo again on the PSP etc.

Why the hostility?

I feel very happy with my PSP and its new lease on life and I can say this with total sincerity:

The only time I see any ghosting/smearing with the PSX "emu" (not sure what else to call it) is if I stretch the screen, otherwise, it's perfect.

I feel bad that shikaku isn't having as much fun as the rest of us, but there's not much I can do to help him.

<--Sony hater. Sony=maker of low quality products in general, thanks to their economic and cultural monopoly in Japan...

<--Nintendo/(old) SNK Fanboi. Too bad SNK can only make games for the PS2 ATM, but it might change thanks to the Wii, and too bad SNK is going in a lot of bad directions...

Plus 2 other factors: I am not made of money (thanks college!) and I don't really care about the PS1 to begin with.

Whoop... I've been caught being a hypocrite!

:unsure:

 

[SiDCrAzY]

This is all very interesting and making me want a PSP.

But I wouldn't even know what PSP is the one I should buy, or how to mess with the emulators and blah...

I'm thinking it all might be too expensive and I want a Wii this month h34r:

Still this def. has me thinking.....

:unsure:

Ignore them. Personally I think it was very generous of you to donate money you don't have, towards an emulator for a system you don't care about, on a platform that can't even support it... or maybe generous isn't the word I'm looking for.

Actually, you missed it. It wasn't the money part that was hypocritical. It was the "I don't care about PS1 anyway" even though his sig has links to PSX ripping howtos...

Hrm... looks like the PSPs control pad isn't quite up to snuff for some games. It doesn't seem to reliably detect simultaneous presses in the emulator, so things like the spells in SotN are hard/impossible to pull off... Anyone else having this problem?

I had the same problem with games like Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3. I bought this. Also you can use the analog stick as well by hitting the "Home" button and changing the controls. I would recommend getting some of those pads though. They just stick right on top. Feels so much better and it's easy to use diagonals on the dpad now. The psp D-pad looks raised somewhat though, since the add on pad lays on top of the psp d-pad, but it doesn't bother me.

hhmmm, you dont know what your talking about Owning a PSP and playing lots or games / emus / films / browsing the net with it etc is much more different than just holding and having a look at one

The PSP has a slight Ghost to it during fast paced movements in cut scene movies but thats about it. I hardly notice any during game play... Maybe the PSP you were using had a faulty screen??

ok got my psp today its 2.71 memory sticks are in the post. so nothing to do with it yet.

will running the demo UMD risk updating the firmware?

 

[shinneri]

There's significant ghosting on my PSP screen, but, if I had the choice of fullspeed portable PSX emulation with some ghosting or no portable PSX emulation, it's a pretty easy choice to make.

@moz: doubt it, but if it does it will just give you a prompt asking if you want to upgrade or not. Just tell it no. Still, I think those demo UMDs are just stupid trailers and not even anything playable.

I don't believe so. Is it the sample disc? Your firmware should be recognized as at least 2.71 so I don't think it will ask you to update to run the umd. Also I believe you can update your firmware to the 3.02OEA and B is you have at least a 32mb memory stick

ta its the sony demo disk says its got spiderman trailer on it.

ah running it says i can update to ver 2.00

It does ghost alot but it depends on what you are playing. 3D stuff isn't usually bad because for one thing when things come at you the pixel change is not dramatic. Another reason is most PSX stuff is running at 30 FPS and the LCD can keep up with that pretty well. Muted colors don't ghost bad either, high contrast ones do (look at the rally-x minigame when loading Ridge Racer, it is a smeary mess). Untold legends, the original PSP game, was horrible for ghosting. It would leave 1" black trails when you panned and rotated. That is the first game I got with the PSP and it was the first time I noticed it. It was worse than others as it panned and rotated. I thought mine was defective until I looked at others and they all did the same thing.

If you try an emulator for a 2D scroller such as SNES and it is running at 60 FPS the ghosting is severe. Many times the colors will shift. Green grass will turn brown, Other times sprites will leave black streaks, sometimes details will dissappear completely. Try Castle Vania IV for example. In the opening level there is that skull rock in the background. On the top of the rock there is some grass. Watch it as you move, the grass will dissappear completely while moving. That is because of the ghosting, the LCD can't change fast enough. By the time it begins to change the pixel has already moved on so you never see it. If you then add the fuzzy filters in while stretching plus the ghosting many scrolling games do become a blurry mess. The PSP to me is poor for these scroller type games because of that. But if portable PSX is what you are after there is no other decent choice but PSP.
