I am a big fan of Project 64 and the people behind such a brilliant emulator.. There truly is no other team which has produced a N64 emulator quite as impressive... I have Project 64 on all 3 of my computers and i also run it on my xbox. I recently bought a PSP and noticed that Project 64 has not yet decided to create a N64 emulator for this great system..
I understand that my testimony alone will not be enough to persuade the gods of emulation to consider such a project, however i hope that others will provide some insentive as to why this emulator should be made and that there is no other emulator quite like Project 64..
Is this a possibility?
Or will i have to go on dreaming about playing the ocarina of time on my portable system...
I don't know what the Project64 team is currently doing, right now it seems the project is about to come out of a yearlong hiatus. I'm sure they'd like to finish the 1.7 version before they start something like this. If they feel like doing more work on the emulator once they consider it finished... I'd be sick of it, personally.
Project 64 can't and won't (any time soon) run on the PSP for various reasons. Development is in a halt situation (sort of) for one. Secondly, A lot of code has to change for it to work right on the MIPS processor, needing to write a new Dynamic recompiler. Plus, Project 64 is very integrated into the Windows OS making it hard to do a full porting.
You'd have more luck with an Open emulator like Mupen64 or Mupen64Plus, but it will have a lot of the same problems as Project64. The only difference is people might try... But then again, there isn't exactly a huge demand for an N64 emulator to run on a PSP.
It is so unfortunate that the demand for a good N64 emulator on PSP is so low... why do most of us not crave the ability to travel with some of our most beloved games (clearly we can atm using our laptops, but you cant exactly fit a laptop in your pocket)
I understand that Project 64 as an emulator is basically constructed around windows, and i do not believe a straight port is smart or necessary. I am more interested in the members which created such a remarkable emulator to work some more magic around a new system...
I myself lack the skills to help in such a transformation of data but i know that people with the ability desire this sort of challenge... but thankyou nmn for ur suggestions about Mupen 64, i pray that some1 is willing to try...
i hope that this will be taken seriously and that many more ppl will rally to this cause..
thanks again everyone

I hate to burst your bubble but no matter how many people rally to the cause its never going to happen, not by the official authors anyway... they've got better things to do than port it to every console imaginable.
Theres nothing stopping people from downloading the 1.4 source and making a port of their own if they think its possible.
Furthermore, the PSP is nowhere near fast enough to run an n64 emulator properly, so as much as you want to travel with your most beloved games, its simply not feasible to expect it ever.
Also you do realize it specifically says in the rules thread of this forum that *ahem*
"DO NOT ask for a port to any platform."
