I'd really like to know why PSPs owners are still PSP owners. Maybe someone will enlighten us. I know it plays game, media, does homebrew, but what makes the PSP stand out?
*
to know my reason:




read my name laugh.gif


more specifically,
MGS PO
MGA
MGA2
MGSPO+(coming soon happy.gif thumbup.gif )

then come the rest like Syphon Filter, Loco roco laugh.gif ,Killzone Liberation, etc..

plus PSX emulation is a great plus smile.gif
reliving MGS on the go... drool.gif
it's too bad bout the double disc,though...still dunno how to change discs dry.gif


as for the multimedia capabilities,IMHO,the sound sucks balls.
so frickin' soft doh.gif
take it to a shopping mall,and pray the game or movie you are playing has subtitles, or else you're screwed doh.gif (well,if u malas wanna bring earphones along,la... tongue.gif )

my psp fell from a 1.5(give or take) meter table,brought down by my dog no less,she wrestled with it,chewed out the mspd,tore apart the mspd cover,scratched the umd drive cover,(probably)ate my analog nub,ruined the top left part of my screen protector

but the unit is still working fantastically well thumbup.gif

haha...no wonder i see many trading has taken place in LYN for used psp, but seldom see any for ndsl.... brows.gif

lets talk about the games for the 2 consoles.
1. many commented that psp has no memorable games, coz most of them are adapted from ps2.
well, in that case, if for someone that has no ps2, is psp still a good choice then?
*
since getting the psp,i have never even touched my ps2 sweat.gif
well,i stopped playing it since before FF12 came out..the PSP only condemned it to dust collector status even more sweat.gif

QUOTE(riku2replica @ Jul 24 2007, 09:17 PM)
since the new psp will be release... will the old psp price drop?
*
it should.
but if the new PSPs dont get their own custom firmware,the old psp's price will go up.(most probably)

More than once I have strangers coming up to me and see in close view what I'm playing. Some, even asked if I may let them try it for a while. I dont mind.

i hate when this happens...
countless times i've played the psp in public,and some stupid kids come up...not only look at the game im playing,but put their damn head right in front of my screen! doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif
stupid kids,parents dont teach manners doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

org tengah sedap main,ni pi kecoh letak muka besar depan skrin..bodoh

and occasionally there are the odd restaurant workers who stand on my left/right,pretend to look elsewhere,and peeping at the thing.. rclxub.gif

another thing i hate about the psp...it's an attention grabber doh.gif

The DS does grab some attention too.. Like you said(Mgsrulz), restraunt workers come and see what's going on. Normal la, they never seen before doh.gif

Once, I was in LRT going to gathering, nicely I play Tetris DS while standing and then suddenly a kid comes by, tip-toes, and peeks into what I'm doing.

Nvmind la tongue.gif

im perfectly fine if they want to look tongue.gif ,but dont have to look until you block the player's view! vmad.gif (cos that is extremely annoying,added with the parents who are smiling to their kids while they(the kids) intrude doh.gif )

ps.
i never meant to say the NDSL/NDS isnt an attention grabber sweat.gif ,but typical malaysian mentality,i guess... better graphics=better console. doh.gif

The OE source code, Team Wildcard's 3.40 LE CFW, Dark AleX actively talking to Sony, and now... a Nintendo DS Emulator on the PSP.

For all intents and purposes though, and right off the bat, we'd have to say that we can't host the download. One of the main reasons is that the emulator taps into the BIOS - thus leading to its illegality - and the second reason being its infantile stage. We hear the emulator isn't working all that perfect; running games ends up in lock ups and glitches.

So right now, we'd just have to report about its existence, and for the sake of discussion, talk about the implications. One of the biggest hurdles here, of course, is that, how would a DS emulator work without the DS' biggest features: the touchscreen? The experience of getting to play the real Nintendo DS will be watered down in an emulated Nintendo DS on the PSP, but see, isn't that what emulators are defined as?

We know you have a lot of questions, proclamations, and out bursts of joy. So we'll leave you with two options: 1) you may comment below, or 2) proceed to the forum thread for an in-depth discussion. However. Please bear in mind that we will not tolerate any links, information, or other details on where or how to get ROMs and illegal files.
