The PSP is far From a Failure

**radiator** · August 29th, 2006, 17:41

PSP isn't a failure, they've done a damn good job for a 1st time handheld (and I'm a Nintendo fanboy!).

The 2 things that, imo, let the console down are the UMD and Memory Stick media - but then, this is Sony, and pushing proprietary formats is what they do (Betamax/Minidisc anyone?)!

oh, and;

New colours of the PSP like the Pink version being released will appeal to the female & Gay population

That's a bit stereotypical don't you think?!

"I$o's are what cost the developers money, not emulating 10 year old dead systems..."

Well a lot of those companies have other ideas for those titles. Okay there's a whack load of reasons.

Omg half those games are being ported despite how old they are. (some more than others)
But anyone with half an eye can see what a threat PSP could be to nintendo. Only thing is PSP is harder to use. I was edging more specifically towards GBA which is hardly old at all. I WAS going to go buy a new GBA-SP_Brite when the new FFs came out but seing how they run on the psp so damn well you can bet your ass I dont need one now.
So in other words.

Shows what you know, some of the ONLY games I was willing to pay money for are now freely available for me to play on my PSP free of charge.

I actually own the games I play to be honest. =p
Some people brag about it like it makes them a better person. But im just a box collector. =/
- I need the box to enjoy the game -
But I now have no GBA to play them on. Hehe.
I traded my last one for my current PSP.
Its so cool to mess with ppl when you have the real cart anyways. They are always like... Wtf. Where did you put the cartrage. LOL.

Im having a hard time enjoying Megaman Wily Wars, Terranimga, Seiken Dentesu3, etc. Without boxes. And Im not about to import for gibberish boxes.

PSP has about 6 original Games worth paying for.

Wipeout Pure- 333mhz
Street Fighter Alpha3Max
TekkenDarkRes
Megaman Powered UP-333mhz
Megaman Irregular Hunter X
Monster Hunter Freedom-msproduo(faster loading)

I hope the rest are pirated. Cuz otherwise your gettin ripped off. J/k. (lol sorry im sO opinionated)
(btw: dax does run an amazing game engine)

I was talking about the older systems like nintendo, sega master system, N64 , you know systems that the developers arent making money off of anymore.... but I see where your coming from with the GBA, point taken, that one is too new.....Anything that isnt being sold anymore should be public domain IMO

**rock_light** · August 29th, 2006, 18:02

No doubt! Or actually re-sold with nice boxes like the nes collection for gba. Id probobly buy em all if i could.
=p

ive been playing video games since the atari 2600,and ive owned every system since and i believe the psp is one of the best systems that ive played on when it comes to be able to play all of the games that i grew up playing.the coders of all of these emulators to me are gods!!!to me the psp is far from dead.we got alot of games and stuff coming out for it.it started out slow but is beginning to pick up steam.the ds is a kids system thats why its so successful to me.and the psp is are young and old adults.

true with the top part, gba games are still being made anyway, so emulating can hurt consoles, just not this one, its the other side its hurting and as many people i know are bias against nintendo home consoles (there was nothing wrong with the gamecube controller, and the wii is original, unlike ps3) ninteno can be getting hurt badly by emulation

and 2 more games for your list
untold legends
daxter

It's nothing other else as with the PS2, PSone or other.
On the PS2 you also can downloaded games...
I use ISO Loaders because it is verry fast. The MemoryStick has ~9 MB/s Upluad, the UMD only ~1MB/s.
Shure, ISO loaders can be used illegal, but it was the last 10 years like this...
