Nintendo Ds Emulator on Sony Psp

August 10th, 2007 by: Technabob


A Japanese programmer who goes by the name SofiyaCat has created a build of DeSmuME, a Nintendo DS emulator and gotten it running Sony on the PSP.

The photo above shows a screenshot of a PSP running a DS homebrew game called GeoWars. The emulator is still painfully slow, and requires a hacked PSP to install it, but it does prove that it’s possible. The emulator uses the PSP screen in portrait mode to simulate the DS dual screen interface.

Frankly, I’m not too sure why you’d want to bother with this. The Nintendo DS is already portable and very reasonably priced. Never mind the fact that the PSP doesn’t have a touchscreen.

If you’ve got a spare PSP lying around and are up for the installation challenge, you can pick up a copy here. I found this information over on eXophase, who offers a brief installation guide on their site.

    word i dont understand these ignorant people the psp is a way better gaming system than ds. it doesnt have internet browser,music player,video player. if u buy a ds ur gay!

  11. elling says:

    cisco: a gaming system is about gaming. not watching movies, play music or w/e.
    I don’t have either system, but I am going to buy a DS. Because it has the best travle games.

  12. Mark Jones says:

    wtf elling, DS SUCKS, the PSP rules. DS just for kids… i hate double screen, its so unuseful. the psp has just one, double bigger, and no touchscreen. SO WHAT?
    i agree with cisco if u didnt notice :P

      It’s hard to believe that you can present such ignorance in less than half a sentence. Apparently the DS would be much more suited to your tastes, as your lack of grammar (unuseful-> useless) resembles that of a 4th grader. It seems that you are desperately trying to persuade viewers of something, but due to the crude criticism aimed toward the DS, I don’t quite understand your point. Try using a different approach. And no, I didn’t notice that you agreed with crisco prior to your post, and I don’t think anyone would have noticed unless they possessedsome supernatural skill.

      • Aveenash says:

        u nerds go get a girl instead of arguing over the psp and ds.they are both great to me.but the psp has more graphics that’s all.

  14. Clovek30 says:

    Well thats persons own opinion whicever u like.. Last Year i buyed DS and it was ok but 3 days ago i buyed PSP and um its better.. But that doesnt mean ur gay..

    Man u got issues

  15. Vlkd says:

    @iltoto93: what the fuck is ur problem. ppl can choose their own game consoles themselves… i dont want some faggot on the internet telling me what to buy. if i ever need help selecting one, ill consult a review. go suck a fat cock.

  16. any other free sites where i can download psp games ?”"~
