FuSa to be able to play PS1 games - Image 1Over on the FuSa project website, there's a new update that should make PSP Slim users want to pick up a future version of FuSa for use with their handheld. It seems that the future version of FuSa will support PS1 (POPS) games.

Just as a recap, FuSa is a nifty bit of coding that allows PSP Slim owners to hook up their handhelds to any TV using any kind of video cable - be it composite, component, svideo, or d-terminal - and play their games in full screen mode.

Andy_maN, one of the project's devs, reports that even while his fellow coder OldPrisoneR is on vacation at the moment, he still spent some time working on FuSa. As it happens, OldPrisoneR sent a message to Andy_maN, saying that "He managed to add PS1 (POPS) games support for FuSa SD!"

If that's the case, we should expect a release soon, right? Not exactly. Andy_maN says there won't be any updates for FuSa until OldPrisoneR returns from his vacation, so we should look to July for the next release. Still, it's some pretty stunning news, don't you think?

It's like having a PS1 without having a PS1!

except no multiplayer, which I'm sure there will eventually be a fix for in popsloader somehow

The PSX support is absolutely useless.

The PSP already has PSX support built in. It's not like he's going to be doing anything DAX hasn't.

This plugin allows you to use composite cables instead of the component cables to display games on your TV.

PS1 games run at like 30 FPS with FuSa currently

Don't talk unless you know what you're talking about.

Somebody slap m3rox. Apparantley he didn't read it right. This plugin is to play games on a TV using any type of cable and also to view it fullscreen and with this new update were going to be able to play any ps1 game.

As I asked from the previous update of FuSa, does anyone know if it is a hardware or software restriction for the phat model to be able to tv-output its display?

 » nope

A phat PSP doesn't have the tv-out feature because of the hardware but it is possible to mod it for it to do that.
