PS1 gaming on PSPs through the PS3: pictures! |
Like it or not, QJ has a new slogan: "We're in ur intarwebz, grabbing ur newz!" Of course, when your trained brigade of hamsters spot a couple of related webpages that have pics of the same basic idea, you know we won't pass it up.
What you see above is a picture of Sony's PlayStation Store and its first batch of PS1 games for PSP play. As you can see, Tekken 2, arguably the most memorable Tekken in the franchise, is there, along with Gabe Logan and that blasted bandicoot. Applefiend of the E-mpire forums took the shot and also confirmed earlier news of the PS1 games' prices by mentioning that Crash Bandicoot costs US$ 5.99 to pick up.
On the NeoGAF forums, theBishop decided to try his hand at downloading Syphon Filter, the results of which you can see in the screenshots below. Some observations he mentioned were that you were actually downloading both the game and a license file to play it, and the game shows up in the memory stick area where you can find your downloads. You might want to check for specific tweaks with each game, as he noticed that they also implemented a full-fledged manual into the game and video output options for easier viewing on the handheld.
Of course, the whole thing is not without its setbacks. The file sizes are huge,
ranging from 157 MB (Hot Shots) to 535 MB (Tekken 2). As for transferring and installing, theBishop says it best:
As far as the installation processes. The download went pretty quickly, and it will require the PSP to be plugged in prior to the download. Hopefully this restriction will be removed once the PS3 itself can play the games. It is clear the download is stored on the PS3 HDD, but it does not seem to be accessible from the XMB interface.
After the download is complete, there is an installation process to the PSP, which actually takes WAY too long. Clearly its doing more than just copying the file because 383MB over USB2 should be done in a few minutes. It took at least 10.
In any case, if you have both of Sony's gaming platforms, consider yourself lucky to be one of the first handful to try it out. It should be interesting to see how much mail Sony will be getting over the implementation, and whether people will like it or not. Let's just hope the criticisms and praises for their plans are constructive rather than plain old shouting and screaming.

i want to a PS3 but it;s too expensive!!
Well, this needs to come out for homebrew about now.
Does this use ISOs?
cool...for ps3 users =(
I wonder whos gona hack it first to run ps1 games without needing a ps3!
it uses Eboot file i think... gotta ask someone who have it.. "DOES ANYONE HAVE A PS3 AND DOES THIS USE ISO OR JUST AN EBOOT FILE??"
now all we can do is wait for an answer....
Just like with there 3.oh they cant stop Dark_Alex and other amazing devs.Long live DevHook 0.51
Wondering if you insert a Memory card with your psx game on in another psp it will work?
No, because it has an authenticator, the certificate utility that looks like the lock in those pictures above, that makes sure that you are not using someone elses one.
Does anyone know if this downloading thing will work on a devhooked 3.01 PSP? I would love to play the PS1 games even if I had to pay for them.
wow if people put amazing programs on the psp and THESE GAMES are SAVED on the MEM STICK i think some 1 is bound to be able to make them for other users wont have to buy them or get a ps3 =)
great.. have fun with the great 3.00 and 3.01 emulation 1.50 users... i guess 2.80 users has to loose this great hack and maybe get it in 10 months when something Great comes up.
OK GREAT kid, u gotta point there, PLEAZZZZZ SOME oNE make a DOWNGRADER FOR 2.80 OR TA BOASTER!!!!
I KNOW I'M A Famous GUy bUT hEY, I'm Cheap.
http://pspupdates.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/75136/sf003ob9_qjpreviewth.jpg
uhhh...network icon?
Finally it came out, but the PSP Launch games suck. I want games like, Final Fantasy series, Resident Evil, etc... Why does Japan get to have Resident Evil and we don't?
I downloaded and played Tekken 2 and it was fun despite being old.
If they ever get FFVII to be played on the PSP then all hell will break loose.
Personally I just wanna play all the great RPGs of the PSX era.
Final Fantasy can shove it, SF is where it's at...GO PS1 EMULATOR!!!
HOLU ***** SYPHON FILTER *****ING ONE OMFG!!! !1
I KNOW!!! I F'ING LOVE SYPHON FILTER!!! CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY IT ON PSP!!
And it looks like QJ read the DIGG comments, they were totally ragging on QJ!!
"Qj's stories sound like they were written by a twelve year old foreign boy"
XD
4chan qj modders @_@
gg no re:
lol its funny that you *****s get so happy about playing a ps1 game on a 600 + 250 dollar console. your idiocy ceases to amaze me even to this day...
Whats the point in using my name?
Whats the point?
Because we can.
Whats the point in playing street fighter on a Xbox360?
Whats the point in playing SNES games on a PSP?
Why? Because portability is better then being stuck at home on a couch.
For me its 600 for a console that plays games.
For me its 250 for a PSP that plays games
Both are well worth their price.
Paying 6 bucks for PS1 games to play anywhere I want is well worth it.
isn't it just feeding video feed from the ps3 to the psp? because come on, a ps1 emulator would take up a motherload of space
I'm considering the fact we can't run ps1 games off of the memory card in the first place is that, not enough flash space..
I'd have to see it myself, but I really think its the ps3 doing all the work and the psp just displaying video / taking in input
I think some of us would like to know how you purchase the games. Whether by credit card or whatever. So how do you buy them?
Hey Vietone, my PSP was paid for by my own money that I earned, and my roommate has a ps3, so i saved 600 there, so HAH.
There is no *****ing emulator, all games are just optimized, fixed and compiled as eboots to run on the PSP, and the certificate system locks them to that PSP. There are no ISO's, and no *****ing emulator, just a signed eboot and some encryption. God all you are n00bs who talk tough, but don't know ***** about what your talking about.
i got all excited about the new devhook 0.51. installed it. fired up my ps3, bought crash for $5.99.. ran the game (eboot) and it crashed my psp. black screen. any one else having this problem?
The network icon goes away when you click that. Just to to www.themaxexp.com for more info.
Dear Unregistered Vietone copy.
We are again sorry that you didn't get to buy a PS3. Try to feel comfortable with the things you already own like the possible NES, SNES, PS2 and Xbox. If you still feel angry and sad, please feel welcome to come back here and cry to these forums again and again how something wonderful has happened to other people and you're left out of it.. =)
Meanwhile, we'll play with our consoles and feel happy! Yeah!! =)
do you need wifi?? cuz i got a psp 2.71se-c and devhook emulating 3.01 fine but my ps3 is only a 20gb. will this work?? and my ps3 playstation's store doesnt have a ps1 game section...
When your roommate leaves or you leave your roommate, you can only transfer the game again from the same PS3.
So if YOU paid for the game, you lose out.
I wonder if I were to take my psp to a game store, would they let me download a couple games to my psp?
Its PT3 file or sumthing close to dat i kno its not a eboot though
The Ps1 game goes on da memory stick dats y u need a big mem stick DUH and the PS1 emulator doesn't take up a lot space check the firmware files urself
I hope some guys will crak it open, I really want a ps1/ps2 emulator on my ps3, and the ps3 have the hardware to play them!
also a psp/ds/gc/xbox emu would be really cool.
and I suppose we can already play snes9x linux version and other emu?
y don't folks start making new kinds of eboots; why is that different from converting other formats? how is sony compression different from psone emulator? i bought unjammer lammy, a playstation, and a psp. I should be able to play it on either platform, even though I lost em both a couple a years ago.
question, tho, before 3.01 emu: which is better 1.5 + devhooks, or 2.71 se, and why? not sure why one is better than the other.
Uh Dark_Alex left the scene, noob.
The difference is, there is no emulator stored on the PSP.
Its built into the eboot in order to play the game.
This provides the best compatibility for games as all they have to do is take a game and wrap it into a emulator and publish it.
This makes it so that there is no emulator needed to be installed into the small space of the PSP OS.
whoah....isnt this supposed to be "nexgen?"
smoke and mirrors ...ppl...
where r the real games??
is this nex gen retro??
would be illegal though my friend. What would you care though, because I can tell you have no respect for any person or company.
You can add your credit card to use in the store or you can buy things using Playstation Point Cards bought from gaming stores. I'm not sure if they have those cards yet, but in the future they most certainly will.
The PS Store service may well be like iTunes Store, that needs out to have a credit card to buy anything from the store. I can't test this myself, so don't take this as 100% certain facts.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270063800585
Nay, I demand to have the following games for download: Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Chrono Cross, and Symphony of the Night. That would justify the purchase of a PSP.
lol touchy touchy Vietone, does your boyfriend not ***** you enough lately or something? queer
Correct. My PSP. ; )
They're not EBoots you retard.
Do you think since there is a shortage of PS3s and the price of the PS3 they will have PS3 set up in stores like EBgames where you can do this all from the store?
can somebody load this up on rapidshare or sth else
I *****in happy that I piss my pants
2.71 & 3.01 HOMEBREW W00TIE
Hey atleast you get to keep these games forever unlike on the Wii, and about PS3s in stores doing this sort of function it is unlikely. Due to the fact most retailers don't have a full fledged PS3 sitting there (it doesn't have all the features on it or open on it).
However PSP already has a wireless instore download type thing (like DS does). So I think they might eventually update that to interact more with PS3 stuff later on (in fact I think they've mentioned this a bunch before).
i sure hope they will wait at least a few other releases of games (PSX games) to release a hack for the service.
if they hack it properly, youd jsut be able to load iso's from your memcard...
There is NO EMULATOR!
If you knew anything about how computers worked, you'd understand that the old PSone games are compiled for different binaries than what the processor on the PSP uses... What Sony have done is created PlayStation Store, then asked devs for their old PSone source code, RECOMPILED IT for PSP, fixed up some stuff and packed it as a signed EBOOT (protected by the new MagicGate certificates)...
This will never
ever
EVER
be "hacked" to play ISOs, because there's nothing to hack! It just doesn't work like that!
Please stop being so stupid.
Jack.
When I heard $ony is making a PS1 emulator I thought that was great. When I heard I had to update to fw 3.0 I thought, maybe. When I heard you have to buy their overpriced underpowered crap console just to load the games to the PSP I, like most normal people, thought SCREW YOU $ONY. Your cheap tricks you use to buy more of the crap you're selling are bulls*it. I'm not a stupid brainwashed consumer that buys whatever you tell me like most of these dumbf*cks. I WILL NEVER BUY A PS3 because it's overpriced and sucks. Blu ray will fail due to durability issues and cost. PS3 games will fail because nobody wants to develop them when there's still less than half a million a month after launch and they cost more than double the already rediculous price. YOU'RE BURNING IN HELL SONY AND I'LL BE LAUGHING THE WHOLE TIME!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!
Umm because this is all one big thing for the PS3. Dont be mad because the PS3 and PSP can play PS One and PS2 games as well as some upcoming bad ass new next gen PS3 games. So relax with your none 100% backwards compatible xbox360. True gamers like all games old and new why not go back and replay some of your old favorites from time to time?
it's not that exciting well it is but it's not for those who don't have a PS3 i should know i don't they should make it avalible to user that don't have a PS3 because personally i just can't afford one
BUT I WOULD HAVE A PS3 IF THEY SOLD THEM!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!
Well if someone can hack the ps1 emulator to run your own games that will be great as I have no PS3 and Iam not buying one..... If there is a way to offically buy the PS1 games from the sony store to be used on your own psp only by using a program on the PC to buy and download from ps1 sony store then that will be great...
that's an interesting viewpoint, you really think it's true? personally i haven't put any thought into it so i don't know either way... but i guess it makes sense. thing is, why wouldn't they simply burn these games to umd and then simply sell them as a 'classics' range or something?
why did it have to be supported by fw3.0 etc?
i'd like it if someone could get the ps1 game file off their mem stick, or at least do some tests.
like when copying those games onto the stick they took ages, did it take ages when they deleted it off the stick and then put it back on?
can you copy the file off the memstick? can you copy the contents of your root dir to pc, format, recopy over and see if the game works?
- i live in the uk and can't test it regardless -
can you do some tests pleasE?!
uhhh they are Eboots.....
If they let you download the games directly to the PSP their whole plan of scamming you to buy a PS3 when it's totally unnecessary will fail. All I can say is if the current PS1 homebrew emulator can get better speed, the $ony "buy more crap" marketing strategy will be finished. Go homebrew! Screw $ony!
That's their brilliant marketing at work. Intentionally limit production to make an insane level of demand. Then people rob and beat others in order to get them. Then people think WOW this must be great! People are getting shot and beaten in order to get one! They should have made it live up to it's hype and made enough of them but their ego is preventing that. People want it because it's a playstation!
This is exactly why we make fun of QJ.net. ...at /v/, of all places.
You're kidding, right? Why would you automatically assume an emu would be huge? Every freeware PSOne emu is miniscule, so there's really no basis to automatically assume it should balloon up hundreds of times in size when Sony does it. And we CAN run PSOne games off memstick, both via Sony's built-in emu, and with that one homebrew PSOne emu that came out a little while ago.
Nintendo, you better lower the prices on your Virtual Console games.
Well since the PS3s in stores are demo units and lack all the features of a regular PS3 I don't think it's likely.
Since there is already PSPs spot in certain stores as like download centers I do think that will be getting meshed with the PS3 stuff more and more in the near future as Sony has made mention to before.
WE HAVE GENEROUS PORTIONS OF COMMUNISM IN OUR STORES

what the hell man! i was eating when i looked at that! god!!! you just ruined my pot pie!
Actually, he didn't leave.
Noob.
Devs should test out the PS1 game files and give the rest of the community the up and up about what they are and what we can and can't do with them.
However, i still feel there may be a small chance for the certificate protection of the EBOOT to be changed to play on other PSPs.
God I wish you would leave. All you do is come here and dog the PS3. You don't see me Flaming the 360, now do you? While the 360 is backwards compatible with some games, nick is right: It's not 100% compatible. But neither is the PS3(But those are just little bugs, ex.Valkyrie Profile).
And, why did M$ drop support for Xbox? Cause they expect their Fanboys to buy the 360 just like everyone with Windows. Micro$oft may come out with good products, but they have a horrible sales plan.
Maybe if you look at the rest of the PS3 site, you can see stuff about the "Real Games".
Remember, Old school is still cool (Wow, how corny...). Everyone but you loves them still.
Nintendo, you better lower the prices on your Virtual Console games.
It's a shame QJ can't perma-ban people who are annoying and stupid as this guy.
YOU DIDNT SAY FIRST POST!
I think he was replying to the unregistered Vietone that was using your nickname.
Who to believe lol
PS3 sux...psp is 30 times better.

***** ps3 wii all the way *****
so if you got the game formated in your psp, after donwload it from ps3 will less affortunate people who dont own a psp 3 be able to play those previously formated games on their psp or will they need the ps3 for something else
Correct final fantasy...
SF ROCKS! but we do need to respect others views.
Some like RPGs, some like Fighters like you and I
and others like fps which is another I dig on.
Just because you and I might not like RPGs very
much doesn't mean we can shut down somebody
elses optinion. I do like me some Secret of Mana
though.
Resident Evil and Street Fighter needs to be
next on the list though, along with a few RPGs
to round it out a little.
Amen my brother. Besides, FF would be a GIGANTIC file
I actually agree with Vietone(the real vietone)
And many of the old games are fun and the old rpgs are sweet!
Thats just my option
ha
