The DCEmu Interview - Question 28 - Which is Best for Homebrew, Handheld or Console ?

[Spanishpeacock]

Handheld here. You people that have the 2000 series PSP running CFW have it made, because you can use the video out also. I still like my 1000 PSP though. It does it's job good enough.

For me the psp is the best homebrew handheld on the market but, the DSI would be also a good and easy homebrew handheld because of the SD-card slot.

The PANDORA when it finally arrives :P

psp, emulation on the go

[Balthasar00]

I'll have to go for consoles. More potential, less expensive. The Xbox is around half the cost of a psp but offer way more compatibility for game consoles emulation and media playback.

[osgeld]

dunno, both

the handhelds have their market and place

the consoles usually have more power offering a more lavish experience

i have an xbox 1 and a psp, both loaded with homebrew (including emulators)

and i love them both

I would vote for Handheld being better than Console. Most homebrew / emulation does not require the power of the consoles plus if you travel, it's by far more enjoyable!

I currently have ran homebrew/emulation on my:
PC/Mac = Best option using a laptop!!
Dreamcast = not fun of having to make cd's
PS One = same issue as dreamcast
Xbox = Best Console with a large hard drive!
PS3 via Ubuntu = what a massive waste of time and electricity!
Wii = have not worked up the nerve to mod my Wii's yet!

Tapwave Zodiac = best option if you work in a office / call center and trying to look like your not playing video games!! ;-)
NGage QD = good...well...back when it came out... I'm still playing Ashen! Just wish the processor was not slo weak!
PSP = Best option for over all emulation / game play due to the form factor and processing power!
Gizmondo = It was a strong system for it's time. It can still do SNES very well plus it fits very good in my hands!
DS = very easy to use but I prefer the commerical games over emulation

I'd say the Pandora would be the best but.... all orders canceled... I'm not sure if I want to place an order a second time or just accept the money I've lost during this ordeal!

If I had to choose, then handheld would win.

However I don't have to choose, and PC blows either away.

Best handled 4 me is my macbook+crossover and PSP. i dont have any other consoles but these... my friends has ps2, DC, ps3 and xbox, but i like PSP most...

if you got a nice big crt tv and a good set of speakers, then the xbox blows the psp out of the water for homebrew (emulators mostly :P) and xbmc is >9000% more professional looking than the regular xbox bios haha
