Title: Emulators for PSP 3000
Post by: TheSarge on May 23, 2009, 02:35:48 PM
Has anyone messed with anything like this?

I've heard a couple talk about emulators that you can load into the rom on a PSP and then play all the old Atari 2600 games.

I'm curious to try one but don't want to screw up my new PSP

I don't have a PSP, but a quick search found THIS (http://stella.sourceforge.net/) .  SourceForge.net is a well known and reputable site, so it's safe as far as that goes.

The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's.  Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!

Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Stella was originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott, however, since its original release several people have joined the development team to port Stella to other operating systems such as AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, and Windows. The development team is working hard to perfect the emulator and we hope you enjoy our effort.

On this site you'll find information about downloading, installing, using, and enhancing Stella.  You'll also find useful information about the Atari 2600, emulation and homebrew development.

Check out MAME (http://mamedev.org/) for a fairly capable emulator with a lot of supported games.

Not sure if it does PSP games but there's a good chance.

LOL.

Some folks are showing their age.
