The PSP is far From a Failure

female & Gay population :D
what a target :)

you know, i was wondering, why coudn't those guys wait with the new exploit, until 2.9 or 3.0 comes out with the camera, gps and ps3 support..
now we will get 2.81 or something and that will be the end of it..

but I found the answer, these guys want challenge..
they don't hack the PSP to make it more 'warez',
they hack it because they can! :)

Sony (just like anyone else) will never ever be able to stop piracy or wazez..
they should find out how to get people buy the original, instead of 'free' warez..

whatever happened to iso talk resulting in a ban? anyways. The only thing I use my psp for is homebrew. I don't own a single psp game, but I do own a couple of UMD movies.(I am thinking about trading them in though). I enjoy playing the old retro games, I have a 1 gig memstick full of roms, from nes to n64 to sega genesis to many others. Thats all I really use my psp for, and I am quite content. I get all sorts of attention when I whip out my psp and start playing "Mario 64" or "Sonic the hedgehog". People are like "woah, can I play?" If it werent for emulation, i would have ditched my psp a long time ago. just look at my sig...

To be honest copying games (either roms or isos) is breaching copyright and Trademark legislation whatever the age of the console or whether or not the games are still in circulation on the market.

I understand why people can hypothesize that they are not hurting any commercial organisation by using old spectrum roms for emulation but the facts are that doing this is just as serious an offence as using isos of PSP games. Admittedly the latter is more likely to be acted upon.

So what's gonna happen when Nintendos new console is released and a heap of old games are available to download for a fee? Are sites who host copies of snes roms and genesis roms going to be shut down because these old roms are again being commercially marketed? Who knows.... to be safe you'd just better get your collection together before then ;)

I don't mind people having their own opinions, to be honest if everyone agreed with me all the time I'd hate it, but if you're going to be passionate about something then don't do it half heartedly. Either have principles and stand by them and feel pious or don't have principles and let the world go to hell but don't whinge about it when you're down there.

Well anyway that's my opinion. I'll get back to playing Mario 64 on my PSP now (come on now -how cool is that) :)

I think the PSP is a massive failure, when you think of all the R&D that went into it and how abysmal the result really was. Yes, the screen is great and it's fairly powerful, but most games are irrelevant on the go, since they take too long to load, the games are hard to take with you because of the way UMDs are constructed, the battery drains in the blink of an eye with wifi enabled and when you want to add media to it the structure is absolutely idiotic (even though they're trying to improve it).

As a console you can bring with you it works fairly well, though. That is as something you'd bring instead of a PS2. For commuting it's almost useless though. So yes, I see it as a failure even though I have had quite a few hours of enjoyment from mine.

New colours of the PSP like the Pink version being released will appeal to the female & Gay population and as long as Sony start releasing quality games the PSP will always be a success.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, And at legal homebrew look at LuaMines or some other warez like that as well becuase they do the most damage.

Exactly what I thought.

So if I have a pink PSP and I'm not a girl, then I'm gay?

Wraggster was simpy stating that it's target audience is females and homos
