Yes, you read that title correctly. Someone has almost finished making a Playstation emulator for the iPhone. Now, the first thing you might say is: "THERE IS NO WAY THE IPHONE IS FAST ENOUGH LOL!!1" That is where you are wrong: the original Playstation actually has a 33MHz processor, which is slower than the one found on the iPhone. The iPhone also has more RAM. Beside from the controls, which the developer says will look different, it is looking pretty good.
 Hopefully not what it will look like Full Story |

the iPhone may have a faster processor but it is an emulator not a virtualiser which means the resources required would be far greater than the original system plus the iPhone os and the emulator are using those resources too so its probably best not to chuck out the playstation just yet. Still one to look out for though. LOL@ the mock up

Also, you can't compare so easily a 33Mhz specialised processor to an other "classic one". Theorically it could be 4Mhz and beat a core duo to its own task.

Even if this thing works (which I'm assuming it will), I highly doubt it will be playable.

It'd be pretty awesome if I could play Crash Team Racing on that. Haven't played that in a MINUTE. Matter of fact, I'm gonna check Amazon for it.

Too long didn't read. If I had read it I would probably agree with Mebster in that it't be difficult to play.

So.. How the heck are we going to store the ISOs for the PS discs? Or are they really small?
(Also.. there's ways to overclock the iPhone CPU  )

Eh...The visual chip in the iphone can't be to impressive, so am I guessing right saying that the emulator is more cpu based?

I agree with krazubu on the matter. A piece of hardware is specifically designed to do something. The iPhone while with larger specs is not designed to play PS games. I'm not saying that the iPhone's speed sucks, its just that it won't work; try to play NFS on gpSPHONE.... It's pretty crappy. The gameboy was probably slower than a 486 and it doesn't run faster on non OEM stuffs. Even the NES app glitches here and there. Just my opinion......

 But it would be soooo awesome to run OS X on an iPhone |

heh? The iPhone does run OS X. I was amazed when I saw stacks on the iPhone. Just like Mac OS 10.5, the animation and everything!
