Hi,
I know I'm a bit late to the party (just a little lol ) but I'm only just starting to love the benefits of handhelds! previously I was a home console guy I had lots of (mostly) older consoles many with RGB video output mods or 60Hz mods etc. but a lack of space (main reason ), TV inputs, power sockets and older games on big LCD not looking so hot has seen me box most of it up and store it in the loft
Still its not all bad news as doing so has led me to fully appreciate handheld gaming! Can't believe I actually had a GBA 10 years ago and sold it without playing all those great games for instance.
So anyway yeah I'm rambling on I know so to the point I do miss those old consoles so I was looking into emulation on the PSP and it for the most part seems pretty good as far as I can tell but I really want to make sure from those who use them daily how well they really run
But to get to the point (at last!) my question is really this: is it worth getting a PSP now as mostly an emulation device? I assume its good enough to run Master System/NES/TurboGrafx-16/Atari Lynx/Game Gear/ Game boy/ Game Boy Colour and probably even Mega Drive with almost full compatibility, good sound and at full speed?
Also seems to be excellent for PlayStation games is this correct?
But what about everything else - Is SNES emulation good enough for even most games at full speed and then there is Mega-CD/32X and I'd assume that CPS/CPS2/MAME/Neo-Geo are probably hit and miss also? Then there is GBA - not such an issue as I have a Micro, SP and DS Lite but I'd love to know how well the emulator runs just out of interest
Sorry for long rambling post but would be grateful for any opinions
