iPhone soon to play PSX games, PSP weeps in corner
Ambulance-Y | 6:23 PM on 12.10.2007 4 comments


a soon to be released iPhone/ipod touch app will emulate your favorite PSX games, how freakin sweet is that?!?! the aptly named psx4iphone will be beta testing soon so hopefully we will see a public release in the next few months. i can already see my psp giving me an evil glare because soon my iphone will do everything that i use the psp for (nes, snes, psx, internets)

anyone else lucky enough to be excited about the potential release of this? the following is a link to the developers blog for more info

how would you control it?
Shawnzzy's Destructoid Blog
yeah and do you think they could even get most games to run full speed?

I, too, see controls being a pain in the ass. No, I literally see them being a pain in the ass. They'd best change that, as they claim they will, as that only has two analogue sticks and shoulder buttons.

Also, an emulator may come out for it, but how well is it going to run? Some of the better PSX emulators require some major processor speed and RAM to properly run on PC, not to knock on the iPhone or anything, but I don't see this working all too well.

The GBA emu runs pretty damn well, it's just the controls that let it down. They're good, and they work pretty nicely, but for PSX, you just aren't going to be able to fit that many buttons on the screen comfortably.
