So, as we all know, the psp can play PSX games. I was sitting thinking and wondered if the NGP will play PS2 games.
anyone read anything about this? speculation is more than acceptable too :)
your thoughts?

Doubtful, unless Sony release them on the PSN store for download.
Well, they did for the PSP, so i cant see any reason why not
I don't recall seeing any PS2 games available for download through PSN Store that played on the PSP?
your right, their isnt. The PSP hardware couldnt cope. But....the NGP is a handheld powerhouse that is more than capable of running PS2 games. I guess its a case of wait & see if no one has heard anything.
well considering the ngp was able to play (possibly) dumbed down ports of uncharted and mgs4 i dont see why it would have issues playing ps2 games
it will depend on whether sony puts the necessary hardware to read and execute ps2 isos and then whether or not the companys want to put the games up for download (though im not too sure how that works)
some ps2 games were ported to psp though
powerhouse? its only a bit more powerful than the iphone 4.
there mite be a chance of ps2 on it if they make a port of the ps2 bios for the ngp so it wouldnt have to emulate it cuz theres no way it can emulate a ps2
i agree with the emulation argument. In regards to it being barely more powerful than the iphone 4, your not confusing it with the xperia play are you?Quote:

It's basically making an entire new game but already knowing what's its trying to be.
What this guy is inferring is just downloading a PS2 ISO, not changing a thing about it (besides changing it to a form the NGP can handle, like an EBOOT) and being able to play it. Yes, there were PORTS of PS2 games on the PSP, but that doesn't even fucking matter.

no its really not much more powerful than the iphone 4 spec wise. honestly i think without its dedicated gpu the ngp isnt that much of a device worth boasting aboutQuote:

OUCH i can feel the sting from that sucker...Quote:
