I've heard of this before, I think it was called the PSP.

Cool I guess but if you really want practical emulation you should probably get a ds, psp, or gp2x

PSP >>> Non phone PMPs.
No one listens to 160 effin gb of music without a visit to a PC inbetween.

since it runs on ce- what are the specs on it? if it handles the acceleration okay you should be able to run a dreamcast OS on it natively
James Baker @ Mar 10th 2008 12:02PM
No, actually. the Dreamcast OS runs on Hitachi SH4 hardware, which windows CE hasn't supported since a much earlier version.
WinCE originally supported ARM, MIPS, and SH3/4 CPUs. SH4 was never used in handhelds, AFAIK.
Also, you'd have to emulate the sound and video hardware. Something that's only new being done with some success on a modern PC.

Yo, tell that dude its...Without further ADO. lol. "adieu" means goodbye.

Does anyone specifically know what the "USB adapter" is that is being referenced in the article? I've tried a couple of different ones, but none were compatible with Emulators.

Anybody have links or ideas on how to make this work? Every piece of 3rd party wince software I have installed on my q5w has failed to even run.

that's really great. I've been wondering why there are no compact snes hardware-emulators. some chinese companys apparently produce these. the way it's done in the video is pretty circumstantial though.
there is a port of scummvm to winCE/ARM, so you should be able to play monkey island & co. as well :D

Apart from having to use a stylus, the Cowon is a nice PMP. Emulation is a plus. I use a PSP but wouldn't mind being able to add a Sony controller to the PSP.

Is it possible to hook up two controllers with some sort of USB hub going into the Q5W?
