Qj.net Wrote:Wee're already driving into the weekend, expecting to hit the usual slowdown on updates, however, recent developments in the QJ forums (thanks for the tip, Glynnder!) have made us think that this is probably one of the homebrew community's most intense weeks in a long time. The OE source code, Team Wildcard's 3.40 LE CFW, Dark AleX actively talking to Sony, and now... a Nintendo DS Emulator on the PSP.

For all intents and purposes though, and right off the bat, wee'd have to say that wee can't host the download. One of the main reasons is that the emulator taps into the BIOS - thus leading to its illegality - and the second reason being its infantile stage. Wee hear the emulator isn't working all that perfect; running games ends up in lock ups and glitches.

So right now, wee'd just have to report about its existence, and for the sake of discussion, talk about the implications. One of the biggest hurdles here, of course, is that, how would a DS emulator work without the DS' biggest features: the touchscreen? The experience of getting to play the real Nintendo DS will be watered down in an emulated Nintendo DS on the PSP, but see, isn't that what emulators are defined as?

Wee know you have a lot of questions, proclamations, and out bursts of joy. So wee'll leave you with two options: 1) you may comment below, or 2) proceed to the forum thread for an in-depth discussion. However. Please bear in mind that wee will not tolerate any links, information, or other details on where or how to get ROMs and illegal files.

Wow now is the best new I have heard in a long time!!!!!!  I am going to try and find the download, I think wee (this site) will be able to host the download (MAYBE! ill have to ask zing) But as for roms, the same goes here.

Please do not post links to illegal Roms for any system!

Thanks you

I'm not sure if it would really be the same without the touchscreen.  Wasn't there a psp touchscreen in the works about a year ago?  What ever happened to those guys?

The PSP is probably too weak to be able to emulate DS at good speeds anyways. so don't get your hopes up too much.

This sounds like a little dejavu to me...

Cool, but yeah, I don't think the PSP will be able to emulate the DS at good speeds.

maybe i they made a attachable touch screen via the MiniUSB port at the top...

i have always hated the touchscreen for the ds i hate the idea of holding it with one hand and scratching all over the bottom screen. it seems like a right bitch

To be honest, I think it's just QJ trying to rack up useless buzz around the place.  You know about a third of their posts are *cough* at best...
Besides, they've hosted BIOS type files before, though it may not be so obvious to you guys (QJ's piracy policy is stupid too lolz).

Fact: a PC DS emulator sucks - the chances that one for the PSP would come out before a good PC emulator is highly unlikely
I think the PSP does have enough power to emulate a DS with perhaps some playable games, but IMO, full speed would be impossible.
Even if someone managed to make a highly optimized version of the current PC DS emulator for the PSP, it won't be playable for a very long time.
