PSP Emulators
These PSP emulators will require the latest PSP hacks running on your PSP. Must sure to run the appropriate PSP hack to run all these cool emulators and ROMS on your handheld.
NES – Nintendo Entertainment System
NesterJ is the most popular NES emulator that will run on hacked PSP’s. The emulator supports the full library of NES games and will run them at fully at their original speed.
PSP Hacks: SNES – Super Nintendo
The best SNES emulator for the PSP is SNES9x. This emulator has wide support for most popular titles and will use the PSP’s hardware capabilities to its fullest producing good framerates, but not always perfect. Because of this, SNES9x has options to overclock the PSP’s CPU, and also skip framerates when needed, giving a well-rounded SNES experience on your PSP hacked for homebrew.
N64 – Nintendo 64
With Daedalus, the PSP is able to emulate a Nintendo 64. This achievement has resulted in such popular titles as Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario 64 to run a playable speeds.
Monkey 64 is the best N64 emu available right now. Although it is a work in progress, it shows much promise and should be able to run classic titles like Mario 64, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros. at acceptable framerates.
Gameboy and Gameboy color
Gameboy emulation is thankfully pretty easy on the PSP. Using a homebrew emu app called Rin, you can run almost any Gameboy and Gameboy color ROM with this program.
GBA – Gameboy Advance
PSPGBA is a decent emulator that will play most Gameboy Advance titles, but not always at their intended speed. However, options in PSPGBA will allow you to tweak settings to delivery the best possible experience.
Sega Genesis
The best Genesis emulator for the PSP is PSP Genesis. This program has been decently coded to give full frame rates and great graphics on your handheld. This is one of the best PSP hacks out there for Sega fans, like my friend Arnold.
Another great Genesis and Sega CD emulator is PicoDrive. The latest version of PicoDrive plays ROMS faster than ever, and also allows for black level adjustment. Unlike older emulators the Genesis, PicoDrive can now emulate the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) which will allow it to play games like Virtua Racing that were some of the earliest truly 3D games.
Atari 2600
Looking for the classic console gaming? Grab a copy of the ever popular homebrew emu StellaPSP to play old school Atari 2600 games. The great thing about this platform is that many games are now absolutely free.
C64 – Commodore 64
Almost everyone of a certain generation owned a C64, and now you can bring back those sweet memories with a Commodore 64 emulator. C64PSP is a PSP hack that will run games at their full speed. The latest version of this homebrew runs great on even higher than 1.x firmware.
