I think (may be I'm wrong) :
The memory stick is only here as an hard disc containing MP3, Video, ...
It is not here to launch 'n play extern programs.

Not really.
The main processor in a PS1 was only something like 33mhz , and as MAME
can't make use of all the fancy graphics chips it was dog slow.

So why will a PSP version of MAME run like the PS1 version? The
PSP has a 333MHz processor doesn't it? That sounds reasonable
enough to run the oldies!

It's not that easy - you're emulating a different processor, graphics
processing subsystem, sound chip, and a whole bunch more.

Considering it generally takes a 1Ghz (1024Mhz) PC system to adequately
emulate roughly a 20Mhz arcade processor (give or take), it's no reason
the 33Mhz processor doesn't cut it.

You're thinking if its a typical CPU. The hertz scale isnt an effective
way to compare processors. My CPU in this machine is a 1.8ghz AMD64,
however it outperforms a 2.8ghz P4, or an even higher rated Celeron. For
all we know, that processor is no more faster than what my Timex Sinclair
1000 has (which has a 3mhz Zilog processor)

Also.. There isnt any comilation tools 'freely' available for the PSP,
which menas that people cant compile the code anyway. & Im fairly certain
that the only one there is, will be part of the Sony SDK..
Which means it wont be available for homebrew games

SDKs get leaked all the time. =] I've got several.

Erm... I think we're on different wavelengths here... I know the
33 wont cut it - AFAIK, we were discussing the plausability of
MAME on the PSP, with a 333 processor, which sounds feasable....
Though I admit I'm no programmer...

Sorry for the typo - I didn't mean to type 33, but rather 333Mhz. Still
not enough "processor juice" for MAME on the PSP, IMHO.

Well, its already quite limited on teh Xbox which is more than double
that. I am not a programmer either but it would seem like a lot of
effort with not much payback.

The decision doesn't have to be logical; it was unanimous.

Hardware wise there should be no problem.. MAME runs fine (well, almost
since the sound is off) on my Nokia 6600..

It's so cool to have packman and frogger with me always.. ;^)
