Developer ZodTTD, best known for his work on emulators for the iPhone, has said today that a PlayStation 1 (PSX) emulator is very close to being launched for Android devices running firmware 2.0 or later.

Can't wait! Saves me carrying my PSP with me as well!
I think you can pair a dualshock 3 with an android (if not, you will be able to soon after the PSX emmu is released). If they are getting close to 60FPS on android 2.1, then 2.2 should push them over the edge...that would be sweet; but I think I would need USB mass storage support for all the ISOs.

Just thought of something...the new dual core arm is a 1.2GHZ from what I can tell, giving a total of 2.4GHZ, combine that with android 2.2, and you might have the power for PSP emulation! That would be great...if Motorola beat sony to the PSPhone.
Hopefully Froyo or whatever my Samsung Moment can get will have better controller compatibility. I have the MSI bluetooth controller, and I'm just waiting for good news. Trying to use the keyboard or touchscreen controls just flat sucks.
