**gunntims0103** · June 26th, 2006, 06:03

a perfect homebrew consol hmm......well i would keep the basic layout of the psp add sum serious power into its system have no updates that try to limit homebrew like the gp2x well touch screen isnt a priority cause sum times it gets annoying thats just how i feel

A very powerful processer (Like 555 MHZ) and a big screen would be awesome.

The vision I had in mind was more like a pick and choose kind of thing. Where you pick what parts you want to build a custom hombrew system.

I think that would be so suave

That wouldn't be very "suave" for me because if you wanted to play someone else's homebrew game they made you would have to have picked all the same parts for your homebrew system.

Thats simple. It has to be as sleek as the nintendo wii, as powerfull as the ps3, supporting homebrew like the gp2x, as easy to port stuff to like the xbox, Have wifi, 300 gig hardrive, hi def support, oh yea and not have firmware updates trying to kill homebrew unlike the psp,

He i can dream right

I really think the PSP is best for homebrew. Sure it could be better. In some areas, a lot better. But it has a lot going for it. The following list would make it a dream come true.

1.) More processing power.
2.) More RAM
3.) Significant INTERNAL storage capacity. (Its not fair that my iPod has 60GB and my PSP has 0

)
4.) More efficient internal battery.
5.) Ability to safely flash or install custom firmwares and / or shells.

If they came out with a "Super PSP" with all of the above... WOW! It would be sweet. But I know its just a dream. I know a lot of people say touch screen but I don't see the big deal with touch screen. That just my opinion though.

If you wanted to play the best homebrew you would want to build a top of the line console

But still with it being completely open source, I can see a lot of developers makeing homebrew by a set standard, Believe me it would work a lot smoother then you think bro

yea homebrew would be alot smoother if these standards could be met but a company that would bring this consol to life would have to give up trying to create commercail titles no games of there own i have to admit im not sure but i think that if a company did this they could make alot of money depending on how many ppl actually know about homebrew not alot of the gaming population at this piont i could be wrong............maybe sega can get off there lazy asses and stop worrying about how to reinvent sonic and actually bring a consol like this to life........i know very unlikly..........this again is merly a fevered dream

lol suave.
so you want it like those gasoline radio control cars. upgrade hear, tweak their... replace that, and presto!!!!! a 2.6 GHZ micro processor, 256 ram 333mhz reaction/ transfer speed, touch screen, 21 buttons, long range Wi-Fi internal device, Blue Tooth technology, 1 TB memory storage capacity machine thingy!!!!!!

now im exagerating.

While its true, that only roughly 35% of the video gaming population knows about homebrew. this is because the commercial industry considers us a dirty little secret and steadfastly refuses to give us any credit. however while its true the commercial industry wont give us any props in new magazines, news posts ect...

The internet has done its job well. and not to even mention the psp itself have brought homebrew to the attention of many. believe it or not in the last two years. homebrew awareness has quadrupled
And now that the words out, i suspect it will continue to grow literally until every eye has seen and every ear has heard,

Quote the shadow, evermore!! lol

Hello,

at first, i want as much cpu power as possible (that 550mhz mentioned before sounds good).

A touch screen? Hm, don't know if i would really need it. But it's nice for on-screen keyboards for emulators. Better would be an optional palm-keyboard to be connected.

Memory such as a Harddisk is a must.

And very important: No tries to kill homebrew!

At all, it sounds for me like a new GP2X. A GP4X?

Greetings, Tobi (<- wants a portable amiga that runs @ realtime speed!)

PS. One question - how much would such a console cost...?
