PSP 1000 vs. 2000 for emulation purposes

[w0dash]

Hello!

Short question: Does the doubled RAM of the PSP 2000 affect emulation (mainly SNES, GBA and PSX) in a positive way?

Or is it irrelevant?

[C.o.]

2000 models and on with 64 mb of ram shows slight performance improvements overall for load times in native psp/psx games as well as general emulation performance (CPS2, daedalus, s9xtyl, gpspkai, picos, etc) and other applications that support it (gotube, homebrew browsers, homebrew/ported games, and slim only high mem modded apps). There are other basic features such as Skype that only work on slims as well. I'd go with 64mb slim models over the 1000 models overall.

If you get a 2000, dont get a 8C 2000, they suck and cant use full CFWs.

So would you say that the 2000 will achieve a measurable higher framerate in emus like snes9x?

I would have no problem with longer loading times, but lower fps would bother me.

I just did a test on vita's Ark eCFW firmware (32mb emulated) and a TA-85 CFW slim (64mb) with the same Snesx9TYL (and settings) and saw no real difference in both performance and load times. None.
