I know this may be old news to some of you, and I am sorry to have to do this, however, this is actually a pretty big deal, and well, being a new blog and all, I haven’t yet had the chance to talk about it myself.

If you know everything you need to know about the emulators and roms available on the iPod Touch/iPhone, please, do feel free to skip this post completely, as you will most likely learn nothing new.

Emulators have been available for the iPod Touch/iPhone for a few months now, with the most recent being the release of the psx4iphone(PS1) emulator. Don’t let the name fool you - this emulator works on the iPod Touch as well, as do all the emulators listed below.

Last but not least, the PS1 emulator (a.k.a. PSX4iPhone):

• This emulator is available for download at: an ipodtouchfans.com thread
• The repo source is: http://zodttd.com/repo/ (add this to installer.app)
• Here is a preview of the PS1 emulator in action: a youtube.com video
• How to install PSX4iPhone emulator: an ipodtouchfans.com thread

Note: Most roms for the psx4iphone emulator run at half speed, if not, slower. Personally, I find this emulator quite useless for iPod Touch/iPhone users. If you want to play PS1 emulators, buy yourself a Sony PSP! Reasons for this are because the PSP actually has an embeded graphics processor, whereas the iPod Touch/iPhones do not.
