Yes, most likely, but thats retarded, it would take up way too much flash space.

well thats how ps1 is, that would be cool to have some more built in ones

like waht? the NES, I mean it's cool that the PS1 is built it, but it would be too hard to have to convert a single rom into a special format just to launch it from the XMB.

im with supashy it would be cool but its a wast of flash space and it would be time wasting to convert roms in to eboots when we have working emulators

well, ppl like me dont use that ps1 emu, if we could replace the ps1 emu with an emu that we want, that might be cool

I'd hate the idea of implementing emulators other than the psx b/c we already have them and it takes up flash space, but I think it would be ok to delete the ps1 emu and put a few other emulators in it's place... so I'm torn on this.

All I know is that if there is space, I don't know if I would mind... only problem is... if the roms were in the "homebrew menu" on the XMB... then I'd REALLY hate this b/c I keep 900+ NES roms on my psp alone... there's just no way that I'd enjoy that when I have a nice menu to load them from via NesterJ

plus if there was built in emulators then the people who made those wouldnt get noticed beause it would just be loading roms off the xmb. And what if a newer version came out of an emulator?

yea a newer version would mean that you'd have to reflash the psp and that would become a nuisance for me after a while.

but that just shows there is no reason to mess with it if it works

what dark alex should do is take out the ps1 emulator so that it saves a bunch of flash memory and just make it into eboot form so you can put it on your memory stick
