Of course you need the downloaded copy of Hot Shots 2 from the Playstation Network in order to extract the required emulation files, but there are ways…īasically what this means is that, licensing issues aside, Sony is trying to charge people 5.99 USD for every single PS1 game downloaded, even though no extra work is required on their part to release more emulated PS1 games for the PSP since they have already created a fully functional PS1 emulator that works with all games.īut of course we are all dirty pirates with no PS3s so it doesn’t matter. So now you can emulate any PS1 games on your PSP with the hacked firmware. Someone realized that the official PS1 downloads are actually the compressed ISO images wrapped with a fully functional emulator and cracked a copy of Hot Shots 2 to accept other ISO images. The catch is that the selection is very tiny right now and the games cost 5.99 USD each. The first game I tried out was FFVIII because I happened to have it lying around.īasically the official 3.00 firmware introduced the Playstation Network feature that allows you to download emulated PS1 games through your PS3 and play them on your PSP. And of course, it also identifies itself as 3.02 and thus supports all PSP games that are currently on the market. Yes, PSP can now fully emulate 99% of all the PS1 games out there and at full speed with hibernation support.Īll you have to do is to upgrade your firmware 1.5 to the hacked 3.02 OE-B firmware and convert the ISO image of your PS1 game into a PSP-bootable EBOOT.PBP file using the bundled tool.ģ.02 OE-B also allows you to boot UMD ISOs directly from the Memory Stick folder under Games, bypassing the need for Devhook. PSP just added about 2,000 games to its library of just under 300, making it just about 721% more fun than before.
