I believe it's actually fairly difficult to emulate the Atari 2600 properly. But the "Evolved" stuff is actually from XBLA. Porting from the 360 to the PSP is probably a little tricky.

PSP-2600 would like a word with you. Seriously, the 2600 hard to emulate!?

Check Wikipedia:
"Atari 2600 emulation is available for most major operating systems and is now very accurate. Despite the relative simplicity of the 2600 system, it is not an easy system to emulate. While it does not require a lot of computational power to emulate the 2600, it is hard to accurately do so. For example, because of the lack of a frame buffer (discussed below), 2600 emulators must not only emulate the console, but the television as well. Due to the longevity of the system, many 2600 games used undocumented features, and even exploited bugs in the hardware and firmware to harness the most of the system, doing things even the original designers would deem impossible (a notable example is the starfield of the game Cosmic Ark). It took some time for the emulator programmers to mature their software to properly emulate the undocumented features, bugs and quirks of the system."
Indeed, if you are old enough when emulators were a new thing on PCs, it took awhile for a decent 2600 one to appear, long after more powerful consoles.

WANT ATARI. W00t. When I clicked the amazon link, it said it's not available till Feb 18. What's the deal? Is it out this week or not?

I really hope that this game will do well ... seriously , Atari needs money now , more than ever ... at least until Alone in the Dark comes out , because in the near future , thats the only game that seems to boost Atari sales at all :?
