Been real excited about this ever since it was first rumoured. A combination touchscreen phone / camera / mp3 player etc with a 1ghz CPU and PSP-GO style slide out controls! Phones have long been powerful enough to run alot of emus, but only offered touchscreen or keyboard control schemes, the slide out controls are what make this so exciting:
Exclusive: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (PlayStation Phone) preview – Engadget
Now the system specs are:
1GHz CPU
Adreno 205 GPU
512MB of RAM
and it runs the Android Gingerbread OS, for which there are already a load of emulators written (they use two right off the bat in the preview video above), this also means you wont have to hack this like the PSP to get it to run emus and other programs.
The Emus in the video run a little slow, but perhaps they are not optimised for this hardware yet, also I’ve been looking at other videos of emus (CPS 1&2, Neo etc) on Android OS, and they run slow also, tho on less powerful phones. So my question is, with these specs, what systems will this phone potentialy be able to run at full speed?
CPS1? CPS2? Neo? GBA? Midway Motal Kombat Hardware? CPS3? PSX?
