PSP Slim or Phat - Which Really is King ?

[wraggster]

In the homebrew scene for the PSP we have at this time two contenders the PSP Slim and the PSP Phat, those with both versions which in your opinion is the better version of PSP and Why?

The slim, just because their is more hardware to work with meaning more capabilites.

The old one was great, but it's time to move on and optimize for the future.

I've owned a Phat since launch and it's great. However, when the Slim was released I bought one ASAP. I've been using it since then and haven't touched my Phat. The light weight makes it sooooo much better and the TV out function is awsome if I'm by my laptop.

The only reason I still have my Phat is for the 1.50 kernel and my hopes for the future builds of Daedalus. But I'm sure the hackers will eventually find a way to incorporate it in a custom firmware so DaX's TimeMachine isn't needed.

this is EXACTLY what ive wanted to know for a long time now. im still not sure what homebrew mainly emulators work aswell on the slim as they do on the phat and also the tv out support with the said emulators. and do these emulators run as well on the phat as they do on the slim? i only use 1.5 kernal on my phat so i wouldnt know. its my main reason for not getting a slim although ive been very tempted to get one with the homebrew release of the tv out support for any tv and with full screen

the slim is better if you have time machine so you can play a much better version of super nintendo

why can you play a better version of snes 9x? i think you maybe mistaken there mate


and with my previous comment, if any one says why would you want to play a handheld on a big screen? well some people like my self dont have a console and only a psp and theres a cerain satisfaction from playing on a big screen. and in my opinion most psp games should be played on a big screen and not the psp, i think handhelds should be just for arcade games like loco roco, street fighter and the superb tekken on psp, i mean who plays rpg's on lets say a car journey really? how many people agree with me here?

The phat of course.

But the slim does have 1 up on it, the TV out..

IR was a weird feature to take out, it barley took up any room in the system itself and had potential.

Phat.

The slim is just another gimmick. TV out is fine, but why? It was made to be portable because it's supposed to be portable.

It'd be nice to not need that rubber band and coin setup to stop the analog stick, though...

Hope Dad can fix it.

Besides, I scored the phat for 25 dollars so, win.
