I entered the dark saide and bought a PSP

Earlier I bought one and am now looking for a good emulator for other games for the PSP.

Does anyone have any good sites for PSP emulators?

Give me some more functionality for this expensive piece of equipment.

I want to get one too! (been saving for ever)
I would recommend mercury.
(BTW, I said, back when game boy color was released that the next thing should be a control stick, forget about dual screens!

Mercury is an emulator?

Also where do you find games for the emulator?

I think it's a game.

Freeware roms are all over the web. Copyrighted games cannot be legally played on an emulator.

Actually, they can. But only if you buy the equipment to rip them yourselves. In the case of the PSP, nobody sells UMD readers so it's impossible to do this so you can't legally play PSP ROMs. But you can buy an adapter for your PC to rip GBA games, and then you can legally play them on an emulator. Even Nintendo.com admits the law has a provision about legal backups if and only if you actually ripped it yourself and do not share it with anyone and don't run it in two places at once.

Since he asked about where to find roms, I sort of assumed he didn't plan on ripping games any time soon.

But you are technically correct, of course.

Ahhh, should have looked at the original question.

Yeah, I did the research because I want to buy the M3 Adapter for my DS. $10 gives me what I need to rip all the roms and I can play them legally on my DS, so I'm planning to get it.

I believe there is a site that sells equipment to rip SNES roms as well.
