    Havin an ISO on a mem stick would be easy, it's the emulator I guess, they not port over ePSXe emulator?

    It's not a simple case of adding a small amount of code and shoving it on a mem stick with an iso. The fact that it hasn't been ported and there haven't been any decent releases of PS1 emulators means it must be very difficult. PS1 emulation isn't perfect on the PC. It will be a long time or probably never before a Ps1 PSP emulator is released.

    The way sony keep forcing firmware updates to play shiny new games and conveniently break the ability to use homebrew/emulators won't help either. That was the best selling point of the PSP for me, I was going to get one and was looking forward to playing all the old classic adventure games on it via scummvm... but sony just turned me off it, the asshats.

    You need a GP2X. It's roughly as powerful as a PSP and built around the ethos of home-deving and emulation. It also has built in TV output. Check out www.gp2x.co.uk

    Considering the psp still can't nail SNES emulation 100% then I think ps1 is very doubtful
