Snes9x is a 298 KB download that allows some SNES games to be played on unpatched PSPs.
From PSP Hacker, "Right now SRAM support isn't working, and you have to rename your ROM to 'ROM.SMC'"
"It runs a bit slow, but it has SOUND and please remember this is for v1.0 firmware only. It will not work on your v1.50+ systems. It is running at 10 40 fps depending on the game. It also is less than half the screen (the top left corner). Also make sure that the folder is called snes9x"

GBEMU allows some PSP owners (Japanese modes with 1.0 firmware) to execute a Game Boy emulator on a memory stick.
From PSP411, "The first emulator for the PSP seems to have arrived. A crafty Japanese programmer has developed GBEMU for the PSP. At the moment, only PSP's with version 1.0 ROM will work. There are rumours and efforts going about to allow people to downgrade their ROM to 1.0, though nothing firm has been released as yet."

From IGN, "The rights to Out of this World, AKA Another World in non-North American territories, had been reacquired by the original game's creator Erich Chahi. Cyril Corgordan has worked with Chahi to bring the original design to the Game Boy Advance, and the final product is now available for download, for free, on the programmer's website: http://www.foxysofts.com ."
"Either a GBA emulator or a rewriteable cartridge is required to play this downloadable file. The game features all the levels, graphics, and sounds of the original PC game."

Transitive Software's CEO Bob Wiederhold comments on his companies technology, which as reported earlier, promises to allow emulators to run with no noticeable speed problems.
From KIRO, "Wiederholds initial goals are less incendiary, but could bring about big changes in the way companies manage their technology assets. WhatҒs more, the technology could eventually drift down to the consumer level, where it could allow older video games to play on newer versions of game platforms (such as Microsofts Xbox, or Sony Playstation). The initial target market for the product, however, is large computer makers."
"Wiederhold says Quick Transit has been in development for nine years, and that itҒs the first software emulator that works with a broad array of processors with minimal performance degradation. Typically, software emulatorswhen they do workחsuffer performance hits; a cursor arrow struggles to move across the screen, or there's a two-second delay after clicking on a file menu before the dialogue box opens. Analysts who have seen Quick Transit report that it exhibits no such degradation."
"The release has generated some buzz, along with doubts. 'People are excited,' says Wiederhold. 'But theres also quite a bit of skepticism surrounding the announcement. That was expected. We claim to have made a pretty big breakthrough and donҒt think people will believe it until they can see the [shipping version].' Transitive claims it has six companies signed up for the product, but declined to identify them; Wiederhold says the first customer announcement will come 'in the next couple of months.'"
