First of all, emulating PS games doesn't interest me because the PSP's control scheme is painfully thin compared to the PS controller which had the L2 and R2 button + another analog stick.
I can't play Colony Wars on my PSP using emulation and I can't enjoy a game like WARHAWK (PS)
Homebrew on the PSP is best done to play NES, SUPER NES and GENESIS games.
I live in NYC and there are a couple Chinatown game places that Mod xbox and PS2's so you can play bootleggs.
They sold me a Japan released PSP with a 1 Gigabyte PRO DUO CARD that had NES, Genesis, Super NES and TurboGraphyx16 games preloaded.
An I have some fantastic games on it. Bonk Adventure, Soldier Blade, Dead Mooon, all of the super mario games on NES and SNES... all the METROIDS, all the original Metal Gear Solids and a bunch of other games like ALL of the Contra games and all of the Final Fantasies.
The game play is PERFECT since those systems only had 4 action buttons maximum and the SNES only needs two shoulder buttons.
This is not big news to many modders but for $200 I wash extremely impressed.
That is why I love the PSP. The flexibility.
If anybody is interested in buying one - look in NYC locals for GOLDEN YIP on Canal Street.

Fair cop on the L2 and R2 buttons, however the PS1 did start out with no analouge sticks...
