Homebrew developer notaz has ported PicoDrive to the PSP. Based on Dave’s (fdave, finalburn) PicoDrive 0.30 for Pocket PC and Stephane Dallongeville’s Gens, this application is an emulator for Sega Genesis/ Megadrive and Sega CD/ Mega CD games.

While the application lacks some of the “fancier” options such as dynarecs/asm cores, it can run most games at full speed without having to resort to using frameskip and uses hardware MP3 decoding via the audio codec library of the PSP. Since the emulator is still in its early phases of development, it still has some VDP quirks and may have a few glitches because of inaccurate timing and sync between the emulated chips.

More details on how to use this application can be found in the comprehensive documentation included with the emulator, so be sure to go over it before doing anything. That said, enjoy PicoDrive.
