[quote name='Thomas96']How Raw would it be to have a virtual console, - genesis, turbo grafix 16, sms, 3rd party nes and snes games (if possible) for download on the psp.
I figure since the PSP has PSN online now, it'd be easy to set this up for the PSP.[/QUOTE]
You mean ... homebrew?

nooooo I mean let sega, and other 3rd parties set up their old games on the psn, for download to the psp (and PS3). Homebrew is so strong with the PSP, but it'll be a good service, at least you won' thave to risk your psp bricking if your homebrew efforts don't work.

I am totally up for a legit way to do this kind of thing. For now I am most happy with my Sega Classics Collection 
that I got for 5 bucks at Game Crazy.
that I got for 5 bucks at Game Crazy.It would make too much sense for Sony to actually do it.
But I imagine there's no reason they couldn't. Rather than building the emulator into the firmware, like they did with the PS1, they can simply distribute eboots with the rom+emulator combined.
But as I said, Sony will never do that. Even though their PS1 emulator works on probably 100s of games, how many does the store offer? I think 15? And I think 1 3rd party game.
The PSP is an amazing device, but Sony seems to be the wrong company to handle it. I don't know if they are too busy with the PS3 and PS2 or what. But obvious things, like downloadable music and movies (a la iTunes) aren't done. Nor do we even get things already released in Japan, like the GPS unit or camera.

omg I forgot that the PSP has a GPS unit... but sony never released the damn thing in the US... shame.. I just bought a GPS... would have been nice if I could have just used my PSP. Unfortunately, I have to agree Sony is the wrong company to handle the PSP, so much potential and yet their so slow. We just got new colors... then in Japan they only had 77,777 crisis core PSPs, why not 700,000 - damn make some money, you can't win with "special editions" when the DS pokemon edition comes out everyone can get it... no one's going to be left out. Crimson DS, everyone gets one.. who wants it. No limitations.
But the PSn store is a big step in the right direction and even if Sony doesn't do old school gen, snes(3rd party), sms games, there's nothing wrong with some new smiple old school type games. PSn imo is the place where homebrewers should be able to make some money. Homebrewer submits application / games to Sony and Sony and homebrewer split the money, or Sony can pay the homebrewer for the product.

all it would need is dreamcast support and it's instant win.

can a psp emulate something from dreamcast? oh yeah, Power Stone. I forgot that the PSP is a dreamcast controller! Its funny, no one at Sony can get that done? I wonder if anyone at sony even thought about that...

yeah, I'm still confused why no company has approached SEGA with the idea of emulating the dreamcast on their console... any of the big 3 companies can pull it off if they wanted IMHO.

You give Sony way too much credit. Remember, this is the company that released a PSP with only one analog stick. Even the original playstation controller had two sticks when the original dualshock was released.
