Not an actual in-game image of Pong - Image 1Zion's released a brand new emulator that brings back memories of old-school game systems, placing them all into your handy-dandy PSP. It's called DreamChip, and it's currently in alpha stage, awaiting some testers who want to see just how far they can go in a high-stakes game of Pong.

Zion's DreamChip v1.0 Alpha is a Chip-8 emulator he's coded to bring old-school gaming to the PSP. In addition to being a programming language emulator, he's also added some games ported to Chip-8 and placed in the public domain, including Tetris, Space Invaders and Pong.

Of course, all of this is still in Alpha. The controls are still a bit clunky, and may need a rewrite of the input system. Still, Zion could definitely use some ideas to make this emulator even better, so why not make a comment here or send him an email, right? Enjoy!

We should seriously reconsider allowing unregistered users (yes, even myself) from posting comments.

i don't think its because he CAN'T program anything better, its for the nostalgia of playing games that started it all. why do people download games and emus like this for their $2000 alienware 6 GHz machines? its because they want to play the classics, not even updated versions.

if i could understand you, i'd comment on it. All i can assume is that you are a schoolchild who needs to pay more attention at school.
