Has Sony Got Coders Running Scared?

[shadow77]

Some people need to get it through their heads that Devhook has never contained any illegal files ..


Booster was not affected at all by the cease and desist order .. that was the site admin because a user had uploaded an illegal file which was a 1.5 REBOOT.BIN

Booster also cannot do anything until 2.8 is decrypted.. so there is really no reason for releasing a new ver right now.

When the homebrew ps1 emu comes out I'll consider my stocking full!Not to mention N64.
I'm happy where we're at as far as devhook is concerned.
I can't really compain about the lack of releases as I have a ton of stuff I downloaded but haven't tried yet.
Honestly I don't think the coders are running scared,just timing their releases aproprietly.

Homebrew so far has got me satisfied. I would have never guessed when I first bought my PSP that I could run fullspeed GB, GBC, (almost GBA), NES, and SNES games. If N64 and PSOne come, I'll be extatic. The fact that we can already emulate higher firmwares on 1.5 PSP's is also really nice...

umm just recently have any developers mentioned that
they are basically finished (in regards to some of those arcade emus) Dont forget a lot of these 'authors' are porting source code. Now they have done some amazing things on the psp but they can only go so far if they never had the ability to write it themselves. (Only a guess though! They still know more than I ever will)

I'm willing to bet the original authors of the source probobly would have done a better job had they originally designed for psp. (or maybe not maybe psp is just a lot harder to do. its certainly not as fast as most pc)

We should be expecting another n64 release pretty soon. probobly another gba too anyways.

And why would devhook support 2.80? Are there any games that require this yet?

Assuming we are talking about 1.50 PSP's, isn't homebrew at a much greater level on the PSP than the GP2X? I find it hard to believe that there are BETTER homebrew apps, & emulators on the GP2X seeing how great they are on the PSP.

If I'm wrong, correct me. Or if someone knows of any emulators that are available for both the PSP & GP2X but the GP2X version is far better, I'd be interested in knowing.

That wasn't the point. It's the difference in attitude from the companies that makes my development on the GP2X (despite it being 'slower' then the PSP) much more enjoyable. I don't have to worry about it being playable on X,Y,Z firmware.

As far as emulation goes, its 50/50. The extra 32 mb of ram helps the GP2X on emulators such as MAME and Neo Geo MVS but the SNES emulation (for example) doesn't match the PSPs.

Definitly much better plan than the way sony approached the psp.

Thanls for the link yaustar, I want a GP2X now

Just make sure you do some research before hand though to make sure its the Handheld for you.

The XGP mini looks so cool too....

Don't forget Neo Geo CD, PC Engine (Turbo Grafx), and SEGA Genesis among others, LOL. Can't forget those great EMU's.

I also had no idea the PSP would be so great. I bought mine on launch day before homebrew even existed. I truly think its the best purchase I've ever made because not only do I love homebrew, I love commercial PSP games.

I hear ya on the firmware updates & multiple firmwares. I strongly believe that everyone into PSP homebrew should downgrade their PSP to 1.50. Homebrew with the eLoader only works up to firmware 2.60. However with a 1.50 PSP, you can also turn it into a 2.71 PSP with DevHook.
