PSP haxored, screen inefficiently used to play GBC games

Aww, look at that little guy there all alone in the huge window. Shows the res difference between the original GameBoy and the PSP nicely though.

Marek suggested maybe setting it up to play six GameBoy games at once, the thought of which would surely cause Eric Zimmerman to have to change his pants about 80 times.

This is great news...hopefully they'll figure out how to get unsigned code to run on later versions of the firmware (as of right now, it requires the original firmware from the first japanese release).

Everyone should love this development. It's one step closer to ScummVM on PSP!

Yeah it's great stuff. I didn't mean to sound like I was slagging it all off as a concept or anything, I was just amused with the tiny GB screen on the monster PSP LCD.

Who is Eric Zimmerman again?

[Jake]

Please.

[Chris]

Please.

Good old Zimmerman... I've been playing this for like half an hour and my score has broken 107 trillion. It's really fun.

That game screams for a DS port

Stylus mania!

Yeah, I was going to say that and I forgot due to the actual gameplay taking over my brain. Zimmerman is more of an academic/experimental designer/researcher guy, but I'd love to see him get this ported to DS. Man it would be great. It starts off so slowly as to feel almost insulting and maddeningly, even after it gets to level 14 (which I was still on when I stopped playing, I can't figure out of 14 is the limit or just really really long) it's still not moving that fast and the gameplay tasks still aren't hard but you really have to devote all your attention to it.

I love it when nerds buy the competition to nintendo to play nintendo games. Or not.

Oh man I'm #1 on the current monthly high score list with 176 trillion points
