Nintendo DS Winning the Homebrew and Commercial Scenes ?

[wraggster]

The DS has been in the Commercial arena the better out of the two main consoles, but with the recent Neo Flash Comp and the many releases from that and happening all the time plus the fact it can play GBA Homebrew, has it now took over from the PSP and the GP2X as the king of Homebrew, sure its a little harder to understand which flasht cart to buy but in the long run with the Touch screen is it the winner, answer via the comments

No. This is the kind of crap that fuels arguments.

it is crap...

it is true that the DS is out selling the psp worldwide. over 2:1 in japan.......

homebrew wise, i don't know, but it does seems that sony will finely close the homebrew door at some stage with one of its firmware updates

I'd say the DS wins just because of how fast it's delveloping... I mean, people have been writting homebrew for the PSP since the begining, but DS hacking isn't all that popular. I also think the DS is easier for homebrewers to code for because of it's likeness to the GBA.

Just my 2 cents... Ok, so maybe it's somewhere around a quarter !

@Darksaviour69: I honestly didn't think anybody else ever played that game, lol. I remember always getting my butt kicked by a freaking bear somewhere at the begining... SATURN NOSTALGIA!!!

HUH?? WHA'??? It's not true!!! The psp hacking IS the king!!!! Say, how many emulators does the ds has??? How many apps.??? How many N64 emus (at least in process)???? Judge yourselves

Heh, $200 is way too much for an emulator, which is all the PSP is worth these days.

being able to browse the web is obviously one thing that an online console is going to consider having, if we want to say something is copying, how about saying the psp is copying the dreamcast, or a pda?

For me Sony is getting closer and closer to making homebrew impossible if you want to play the latest commercial games with thier firmware updates. Also the PSP scene is in it's infancy and a lot of the problems that console scenes have at the start- warez being rife, and general idiocy, it appears to me the ds scene is a lot more mature, perhaps because it's a natural continuation of the already fully matured gba scene.

The kinds of things being done in relation to wifi on the ds is most exciting for me, consider running a snes emulator on your modded ds, starting mario kart, sending it via download to your friend next to you and playing two players over wifi. This is possible- exciting times indeed.
