And ever since you posted it I've been scouring the net for somewhere that sells them apart from the Ebay seller you linked to.

I'm keeping an eye on Ebay now & when they come up again I think I'll be buying one anyway PSP or not

I don't really get the whole PSP emulation thing. I find the SNES emulator better on my DS, at least for SFII which was the first thing I tried, and when I tried the Amiga emulator for Sensible Soccer, it was too jerky to be playable.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe it's good for the more esotoric systems that I've never gotten into e.g. Neo Geo, PC Engine.

(In edit: I have a PSP-2000.)

I have a Phat PSP, A GP2x F200 and a PSP 3000 (For normal games).

You are not alone in trying to find the Dingoo Digital A-320!! The GB Micro is my favorite handheld and the prospect of a uber micro is just too much to miss.

Could still be the Wiz for me, but for the price (About 50 quid I think) the A-320 looks spot on.

Media playback even looks good:

I'd imagine a few more A320's will probably turn up on ebay after chinese new year, a lot of the Hong Kong sellers aren't back until the 30th.

the psp slim is the daddy for emulation in my opinion. i have most of the emulators on it and they work brilliantly with the exception of the snes which is a massive shame. i'd love a full speed snes emu so much...
The emu's that i'm most impressed with are the gameboy advance because it makes the games look a million times better due to the larger size and the MVS because that also looks brilliant and runs like a dream. psx also looks great and is just the right resolution and screen size to make the games still look good.
gameboy, megadrive, neogeo pocket, nes are all brilliant too.

I was just looking at his completed listings & saw mention of the chinese new year so after the 30th thats my next job...find an A320

Ah, that would explain. I don't own any Neo Geo, Mega Drive, PS1 stuff, and I don't emulate software that I don't own. GBA and Gameboy may well be good, but I have the handhelds anyway, and I enjoy them. I could try the NES emu I suppose.

I've had Mega Drives and PS1s come and go, but I don't think I'll go back there. Well, not with the weak pound anyway.

Boxhead - have you tried PSPUAE and if so what did you think?

Why would anyone play SF2 on snes when they can play the arcade original on CPS1 or CPS2

SNES emulation is always a problem in my experiences, I wouldn't say the SNES emu for PSP is 'great', but then thats why I'll always own a real snes. hee

I don't emulate software that I don't own.

i think that's why

[kernow]

I see.. I never saw the point of emulating software I actually owned. As long as you don't take the pee emulating the most modern I don't see the problem.

[topper]

The obvious point is that the console gets to stay in the box, hence the house is less cluttered, and when I'm out and about, I can still enjoy on the handhelds.

I'm not sure where or why I would draw a line under "the most modern".

Well for most people, it's the sheer convenience of being able to (for example) play your MegaDrive games on the Wii that you already have set up, rather than having to drag out your old consoles (which may be stored away). There's even more of a point with handhelds, where you could play console games 'on the go' which may be otherwise impossible.

In my case specifically, emulation has been a lifesaver for me because I'm in university with a laptop, no TV and no consoles, yet I can still play my games. I can even play most of my PS2 games on here using PCSX2. No extra hardware to drag up here, no TV, no TV licence, and in the specific case of a laptop, I can bring my laptop to friend's places and play there too.

Besides, I'm one who feels the thrill about playing software on the 'orginal hardware' is largely psychological, especially if the emulation is near enough perfect.

PSP is still trailing behind on MAME, though FBA is getting better and better (well hello there DoDonPachi and other cave goodies on the go.

I love PSP for emulation. nothing like a bit of CPS or MVS on the go. Also CPS3 support has just been added albeit slowly. But its a start.
