Experimental emulator brings PSP games to Windows

We've been tricked by this tomfoolery before, and we're remaining cautious. DCEmu is reporting on a supposed experimental emulator that allows PSP games to be played in the Windows environment. "Potemkin" as the emulator is called is no longer being worked on by Ector due to "time constraints." Therefore, he's provided the source code for those interested to try and finish his project. (This does not mean that an end-user can effectively run a working program on their machine.) If this project comes to full fruition, Sony will certainly have a lot more to worry about: the piracy scene could potentially explode with a functional release of such an emulator. We'll have to stay tuned.

why would sony be screwed, exactly? theres an emulator for pretty much everything out there, especially handhelds. theres been one for gba since, forever, and prolly one for ds, and are their sales "completely screwed"? frankly, i'm surprised its taken so long for a pc emulator to come out for pc.

Sony should jump the gun and release an official one letting u play psp games on the pc, either by downloading them from sony or hooking the psp up by usb and using it as a disc drive

they could make a few quid that way lol
