Can a PSX emu emulate this?

sonicfoot · October 31st, 2003

Someone asked me if it would It be possible to emulate extra ram for a PSX emu or emulate an ability to overclock the CPU of the PSX on an emulator.
I told him that since the real psx never had a ram expansion pak of some sort i dont think it would be possible to emulate extra ram. Besides the PSX is powerful enougth for the games that are available for it, right?

I asked a similar question way back when. The answer from well known emu/plugin authors were that emulated Overclocking of the psx would screw with the timing of various components. Making them either incompatible or not work.

Doesn't make much sense to do that anyway.

well technically if you wanna be a dick about it, isnt turning on all those texture filtering/2xsai sort of like adding extra RAM? im sure it takes more than 2mb vram (like PSX) to run those things

Well maybe they are just looking a bit of extra speed to their games? in which case you could up the fps limit manually to active such an effect.
