The Newest and Most Serious Rival to the Homebrew Crown

Dying?! What drugs are you on?!

It seems like the PSP homebrew scene is dying. I see fewer and fewer releases all the time, and with the sorry list of good games on the PSP, I hardly use my PSP anymore.

i havent used my psp in like 4 months... homebrew for psp is dying im so sad... i probably will sell my psp and get mario kart ds

[vincesecuricor2005]

er.... i might get one just cos i love havin all the old consoles on the go BUT lockethevaliant, NO just stump up the 25 quid u will easily get mario kart for geezer as the Retail games on the psp will always be better, (but if u do sell ur psp let me know first as my son wants one for christmas lol)

Yeah I think in a few months maybe in like febuary when the GP2X has a good library of emu's (and they are a little cheaper and easier to get) then I'm going to get one.

I think it looks super sweet!

I wish someone would get Quake 1 & 2 running (well & WITH sound!) on the PSP!

Just my opinion but I think in the long run PSP homebrew will slowly die.

Sony is trying to snuff it and 1.5's are just gonna get harder and harder to find as time goes by.

I'm pretty sure Sony is less then concerned about loosing their position in the homebrew community, being as how they have fought to stop independent developers every step of the way. As far as Sony is concerned, the PSP's kingship in Homebrew is a crown of thrones they can't wait to get rid of. Too bad too, because without Homebrew, my PSP would have started to collect dust a LONG time ago!

I dunno much about this GP2X, but I recall seeing some gameplay screenshots and footage, and it's not anywhere near as powerful as the PSP. Also, I heard their control stick was very poor, it's not even analog. I could be wrong. If I am, maybe there might be a GP2X in my future.

yeah man, the quality of psp games is really poor IMHO. i have to say that with the exception of Lumines and Wipeout i have yet to play another PSP game that makes me think otherwise. Xmen 2 is pretty cool but overall they are just either lame ports or lame games. have a look at gamespot, IGN etc and see how many high scoring reviews there are - exactly! meanwhile i have played the DGEN, Gameboy, C64 and other emu's LOADS.
i really think that Sony need to do something FAST to sort out the qualir=ty of games - and if they are going to keep doing ports then PLEASE DO A FINAL FANTASY TACTICS AND FF7 PORT!!!!!

[vincesecuricor2005]

ff7 on the go would be heaven

ill sell it only for 250$ rarely used!.....never has played a UMD and is 1.5 only used for homebrew and have an extra battery

[pspfr33k]

250?! You can get a new one for that price. You give some games with it?! I have a original 1.5, but I don't think I would probably sell it for that price...
