The Lynx might have more PSP emulators than games: PLynx, Handy-PSP (twice), an e[mulator] core, two RetroArch cores.

The PC Engine isn’t a home computer, it’s a console - Americans knew it as TurboGrafx-16. These days though, it’s fair to say no one knows it by either name.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I found a Python interpreter for PSP that supports some functions from the excellent OSLib-Mod library - you can download it here. Now, let’s see what we can do with it.

All Amiga emulators will require a BIOS of sorts - usually named kick.rom or variations thereof.

The Atari 7800 was a bad system the day it came out, and it is at least as bad today. There isn’t much to be said for any electronic device that sounds like this, especially not one that is supposed to entertain you.

Seeking to cleanse my memory stick after loading it with Wonderswan games, I decided to test out emulators for another Japanese handheld - a better one, this time.

Is the Wonderswan a videogaming hidden gem? If so, they sure hid the gems pretty well. While I was looking for roms to test, all I could find were tie-in games from forgotten anime franchises.

At first glance, MSX emulation on PSP seems to offer plenty of options to choose from. That is mostly an illusion. No matter which emulator you pick, you will always end up using a port of Marat Fayzullin’s fMSX.

If emulating the PC-88 and the Vectrex sounds like a mainstream vulgarity to your ears, this article is perfect for you. In the mid-2000s, as the PSP scene was obsessing over the latest nightly builds of Daedalus, some crafty coders were creating emulators nobody asked for.

If you just downloaded RetroArch 1.9.7 for PSP, you will find 48 files inside the cores folder. Not all of them are emulators, and it’s not obvious what a lot of them are even for. While the list of cores included change from release to release (or even day to day, for nightly builds), this is an overview of what you can expect as of August 2021.
