The PS Classic can now run PSP games

[L.O.R.D]

ok, now i am interested in the system



basically, it's now like PSTV without PS4 streaming and Vita games.
wonder how will that effect the sale of the system

edit: well, not really like PSTV, it can run many PSP games, but other games will have problems, like god of war and other problematic games.

You have my attention.

Wait what.

This could be better than the PS3 emulator?

Hmmm... I may have to scoop one of these then.

 

[Nolbertos]

Hmm, interesting..I'm more intrigued now

So is it more powerful than a PSTV?

This is using a weaker CPU/GPU combo than the Pi 3b+ which is incapable of running anything but the least demanding PSP games a full speed despite it's significantly more mature drivers and ecosystem. So don't expect to "play" PSP games on this as much as watch a slideshow of some low end PSP games for a few minutes before giving up.

PSTV has PSP hardware in it it's not so much emulation on the PSTV as it's just running the game.

Glad I picked up my PS classic for $35 when I took advantage of that Red Cartwheel deal.

In the end, it's still just another underpowered RetroArch machine.

Yeah, I was really surprised that the frame rates were so stable on those PSP games. PPSSPP is notorious for pushing the limits of these small SOC machines, and the PS Classic doesn't have any secret sauce
