PSP PSOne Emulator details
A Japanese gamer has today revealed some more information on PSP’s elusive PSOne Emulator, which is included with the magical firmware 3.0 that was released 48 hours ago. Using the PS3, the gamer first bought three games: Tekken 2, Biohazard, and Jumping Flash. I hate to burst the bubble of those who are expecting for straightforward PSOne emulation, but Tekken 2 was around 542 MB and it took a very long time (around one hour) just to copy it to the memory stick.
Another flaw of the PSOne emulator is that, by default, the analog stick was made a replacement to PSP’s lack of the L2 and R2 buttons. This means that moving the analog left = L2, right = R2 and up = L2+R2. This may be a little annoying, especially because it will hinder your ability to use the analog stick in-game.
Screen Modes available are Original, Normal, and Full. But according to the gamer’s blog, there is quite a bit of lag when changing between these two modes. Also, the PS3 assigns a ‘usage ticket’ to the game, binding it so that it is playable only on a certain PSP. Presumably, you will need to register that PSP with the PS3 for the PSOne games to work.
