Things are finally looking up for the Max Media Player

**girardsummer** · September 25th, 2006, 05:30

Before you guys flame me, let me present my case. I mean, when the MMP first came out, all you paid for was a 4GB CF card and a NDS CF reader dock for the Nintendo DS. It had no native funtionality and relied on MoonShell for any media playback. The data transfer speed on the 4GB CF card was slow, the 4GB CF would heat up in your pocket, and it was hardly compatible with any hoebrew. Well, good homebrew anyway. But now in September, things have vastly improved. Thanks to their update that finally allows you to natively watch video and listen to MP3s, Max Media Player has become something worth having. And I must say that the video quality is excellent and the video playback is PSP smooth. With good headphones, (I prefer Sony - They ARE good for something) the audio playback is decent. I have the first Star Wars trilogy on the 4GB CF and it works perfectly and smoothly. Maybe if all this functionality was available from day one, MMP and MMD would have a better rep.

PS: Go ahead and start flaming

EDIT: Edited out ROM disscussion.

No, the rom discussion part was taken out... However, sadly, we already know this. Yes it does look good, and the only thing that will make the Max Media worth keeping is if the next update kills everything else. For instance, if the new update allows people to run .gba or make homebrew more compadable. Everything they advertise was a lie right? Before it said video playback, but there wasn't any. So, i suspect they said all those things, hoping to get it down and update. So it would make sense if they did put a GBA compadability. However, they are doing everything late. I know the M3 and Supercard are expensive, but for whats its worth it does everything the max media said it would WAY BEFORE! I would be happy to say that the MMD is a good contender, I would be glad to say that they are a good company, but i can't. I can't because they don't blog or anything about updates. OR EVEN EXPLAIN WHY IT CANT DO WHAT IT SAYS IT CAN! if they would explain. i would be understanding, and i'm sure more people would be understanding. Even Double H. For now they are second rate company, making a second rate product, to take peoples money who don't completely get the homebrew scene yet.

Yes i WAS one of these people

No ROM discussion on a homebrew related forum? Sounds a bit weird to me.

well since DS games are ROMs, yes no warez talk. but you can talk about how to use roms with you emus

**MikeDX** · September 25th, 2006, 15:59

Double edged sword

You can talk about roms with emus but you cant talk about roms with a cartridge.. Yet its ok to post if your psx games work on the psx on psp emulator

emus have something to do with homebrew

Playing backup roms for the NDS alone does not.

Basically this is meant to be a homebrew forum and although talking about SNES and NES emulators technically is rom talk it actually includes homebrew and we don't want this site to become a place to discuss playing backups

Playing backup GBA is any different how?

Either you are against piracy/roms or you aren't you can't say "oh theres a DS emulator for the psp so talking about roms is ok now."
