Hello, I Have a Question, Has Anyone Ever Ported QEMU To the PSP?
How Hard Would it Be to Port QEMU To the PSP?
From 1 To 10 How Hard Would it Be For A relatively New C Programmer Like Me to Do it?
1 being Doing Almost nothing 10 Being so Hard that i would Lose the will to live.
If It Would Be too Hard For me, Then I would Request That someone  More Experienced do it.
Well, THats all.

Mainly because you ask the question and don't know the answer, the paradox here is that if you didn't asked the question I would have more faith in it.

Ok, I don't know QEMU, I searched google and read a small bit about it on wikipedia, so I find out it's some sort of emulator, emulation on the PSP (or any other computer) is not the simplest thing to do one of the things is the speed of the PSP, is the PSP powerful enough to emulate the target machine/platform.

Well, The PSP Has a 333MHZ Processor with 64MB of RAM,Dosbox Has Already Been Ported, But Dosbox Is incomplete, And can't Emulate Anything other than DOS, Bochs has also been ported, But it is slow, And Old.
Also, It's A PC Emulator.

I'd say it's likely impossible.

QEMU itself is an emulator of sorts. So what you want to do is emulate and emulator pretty much. Also you have to consider the fact that the PSP would in no way possible be able to emulate XP decently. (i say decently because who know? I might be able to run it at -0.9 Frames per second).

Windows 95 Runs Like Xp on an Old Computer, A bit Slow, But it Works.
And that is through one of the slowest Emulators, One for DOS.
there is A Modded Version of Windows, Called MicroXP, It Runs With as little as 32MB of RAM With a 70MHz Processor.
Windows 95 Has Been Ran On the PSP, Windows 98 Also, The Only Thing Stopping People From Running Windows 2000/XP IS the Fact that the Only PC Emulator for PSP does not support The OS'es KErnels.

That's the spirit!

But seriously, why not take the time to learn the programming language very well, get very familiar with the ins and outs of computer science, and then learn what it takes to even make an emulator?

If you have that time of course.
Programming is a good skill to have, or so I've been told.

Is there another Forum that is still alive that i can ask these questions on?

Yes, http://www.PSP-Hacks.com/forums/ is very much alive. Go to the dev section, that's where I've migrated to. Woo hoo for 700+ posts.

What happened to this forum? It's all dead "and junk".
