    The PSP can be used to play PSX games, and the PSP is extremely portable (obviously :) )

    If you can get a PSP, come back here for more information on what is needed to play PSX games.

    most emulators are portable, but you do need the permissions to run executables, which a properly configured school system will not allow. additionally, don't expect the hardware in school computers to be up to much (specifically the graphics hardware).

    Brand new doesn't necessarily mean good. most likely they have onboard graphics which often struggle with emulation.

    no they've got nvidia something but its good enough to run like half Life 2 all the episodes and morrowind oh and mass effect(all portably) but yeah and i figure that thats a pretty good comparison plus the other specs are pretty nice like 1.5gb of free ram 2.6gh proccesors so i figure it should be fine because my laptop has less than that and it runs it fine.

    They're usually just cheap systems only for student work like browsing set up over a network.

    Back when I was in school and took programming classes, we just used Telnet and connected to your favorite MUD. (Basically a Text based online RPG).

    Since it was all text based, the teachers walking by didn't think anything of it, cause from a distance it didn't look any different than the programming we were doing.
