it's different to convert coding like that ( I think)

your expecting too much, besides a small emulator is 3-4 mb if you wanna find a way to add that code into the xmb plus add the new icons (which would require much more code from scratch) that would take up even more space

Any code can be compiled that way. It would work. The emulator itself would have to be altered to use a graphical menu interface of some sort so that you could choose game and the like. Is that going to happen though?... I think not. Is it worth trying?... not really.

version 3.03 oe-c only uses like... 19.2mb flash out of the 32mb available. There's plenty of room if anything else was to be added but since I like having tons of games on my psp then I don't think I'd like loading something like NES from the XMB.

what? like turning NES games into Eboot? ... b/c I have over 900 NES games and I personally went through and compressed (zip) every single one of them lol. Ain't no way I'd consider doing that again (and cluttering up my XMB).

If you are talking about doing that specifically with psx games... then ... well, that is already how it is.

I like everything how it is. I wouldn't change it just to change it. What works... works... simply put.

Now... I wouldn't mind a shell program (like IRShell or something) that had an integrated emulator plugin system or something. With that you would be able to organize your games by system and play them from one large/ organized menu.

It just seems that it is the most logical way to think. "If it's not broken, don't fix it" type of solution.
