Was wondering if there was a good PSP port of this around

The Pandora is so useless, just buy a laptop. That thing is not small enough to put it in your pocket. Even the small EE pc is more practical than thing. Not sure why it's so popular. Oh also it does not look very comfortable to play a game on...

Does anyone actually have a binary for SRB2PSP they could share? I'm interested in at least trying it once.

Awesome. We got a real winner here. The Pandora and the ASUS EE are in two different ballfields.
It may be useless to you, but to me, it has a lot of power for something that small.
I am sure you are so right about this since they already have shown videos and measurements that it is no bigger than a DS Phat...
That can be debated. Looks can be deceiving. When I get mine, I'll make sure to mention if it isn't comfortable or not. Plus, you replied to a month old post.

Have you played Crisis Core:Final Fantasy VII???? Cause if you have then you do realize the PSP can outweigh the PS2 In graphics! Play Crisis Core first then come back and tell us why I am right! Srb2 would be be perfect for PSP!

So, you're assuming that the PSP can run SRB2 based off of how good one PSP game looks? Oh, this is rich.
The PSP doesn't have the specs to run SRB2 currently. You'd have to go and re-write all of the code for the PSP port, and that would take a helluva long time to do. Not many people are devoted to porting SRB2 to a console which will probably run SRB2 at a very crappy speed with a very crappy resolution, if it even runs at all. Simply put, SRB2 can be ported to the PSP, but you wouldn't get much more than SRB2 running at, day 3 frames per second with an ultra-low res.

Not yet....But I am Damn Sure of it! If not then try "Jeanne d'Arc" Good Looking Game, Although not as Hi-Def as Crisis Core (Which is the Graphic Limit for PSP...), it is another Hi-res, (and yes catoon-ish looking...)game. Dissapointing isn't it? Not one developer will push the PSP to it's limits for the sake gaming...(Except Square Ennix!!! They always push it!)
SRB2's programming code does not translate cleanly over to the PSP, and it could use a heck of a lot of optimization. The computer I am using is 933 MHz, way more powerful than the PSP, and there are PLENTY of stages in which SRB2 struggles to get the framerate up to par.

No, we're basing it off of 2. I've never player Crisis Core, but the graphics for God of War for PSP were quite good. Oh and for the record, I'm not really supporting this.
SRB2 is WAY different to any other PSP game, and while the code DOES need optimisation and some modification, technically in its current state it should at least start, which the current port does.
The PSP probably has enough power for an optimised SRB2, so far in this topic some people think clock speed makes a CPU. I'm going to tell you now: It doesn't. AMD proved this years ago with their Athlon XP.
You don't need to rewrite the SRB2 engine for the PSP version to run, that's preposterous, if we had to do that, there WOULDN'T BE a PSP version. There's one reason Sonic Team Jr. coded SRB2 in C, you know: portability. They wouldn't use Assembly or Visual Basic for this, because that would make SRB2 practically impossible to port to other architectures (Assembly) or anything other than Windows (VB). C can be ported to other architectures and operating systems easily.
Anyway, I think I'll stop my rantings now...

I know that RAM, GPU, and HDD space all matter as well. But Software Mode runs solely off the CPU and RAM.

Coulda used java, you know it's more portable (and I actually know it) except that it's performance is mediocre on anything but solaris. Oh well :(

There is a huge difference between JAVA, and JAVASCRIPT. Google it.
