Since I haven't made a topic for a while I thought I would start one by asking a question. :)


---

What are the most used and least used consoles you own?

For me the most used console would be my PS2 which I use almost daily for playing PGEN and Snes Station, the least used console (not including the consoles in my room at my grandparents - the answer would be my NES due to playing emulators) is my Sega Saturn which I last played in May 2007 (my other Sega Saturn at my grandparents hasn't been played since October 2004).

Are you talking about it not playing GBA games or the originals?

Most used: 360, Dreamcast, SNES, N64, PS1

Least used: PS2 (in my sister's room), PSP (which was traded in two months ago)






Most used: Xbox, PS2

Least used: Xbox 360 (No homebrew=no interest)

Why? Homebrew is generally a means to play different games to the commercial ones, and the 360 has a fairly strong library.

Most used: PSP
Least used: Game Boy Color (Well I own the original big grey one, the Game Boy Color and the Game Boy Advance. And if a had to throw one of them away it would be the Color. Somehow I never liked this one...)

I'm talking about the ability to unlock the consoles potential.
Homebrew along the lines of applications and emulators, for free, not for a subscription fee.

The thing i dislike about 360 the most:
Everything must be bought from MS, no video playback.

But 360 still has a woderful library of games.

I meant free apps as well, I was just wondering why you'd rather play homebrew than commercial games all the time.

Indeed, homebrew is a big thing for me too.

Maybe it was silly for me to think that the PS3 will have homebrew as vast as the PSP, but I still think there is promise for a useful exploit.

If the full potential of the PS3 is unlocked, we will have ourselves a homebrew power house. I can't see it happening though.

Homebrew for me's a nice little extra feature, not the reason I'd go for a certain console.

Uh.. no, you don't have to buy everything. The demos are free. And if you want free video playback, just connect a PSP, Zune, iPOD, Cellphone, or anything to the USB port. Use a DVD, or just share your computer's media with the 360.

Yeah, If you have anything else, you can temporarily connect it to your 360. I'm talking about the ability to actually, hmm, I dont know, put your own videos onto your 360 without having to buy them/stream them from other devices?

With that being said, both PS3 and Xbox 360 have the power to emulate the Gamecube, PS2 (already done on PS3), the Xbox (already done on 360), and even the Wii, and dont tell me that Wii emulation couldnt be done on 360/PS3. If Xbox, which has a 733 MHz Processor and 64 MB Ram can be emulated, then why cant Wii with it's 729 MHz processor and 88 MB ram? I've already seen people using Wiimotes on 360 through extra tools as well.

Remember the massive disparity in the capabilities of someone sitting in their bedroom and a multinational corporation, it wouldn't be up to scratch.

You're absolutely right.

As of now, there's only one publically released Xbox Emulator (only plays Halo 1 at halfspeed)

Apparently x64 releases of Dolphin are running games at fullspeed.

PCSX2 is getting there...

And, most of the time, you need a good PC Emulator to port to the console.

But it definitely can be done.
