PSP - Lukewarm In Japan?

[MaxSMoke]

Am I the ONLY person that uses the Power Switch on the side of the PSP to pause my game? I mean, it takes me over 2 minites to start a DS game everytime, because whenever I hit it's power switch, it's reset completely! On the PSP, I just hit the power switch again and I'm RIGHT back in the game, right where I left off!

Doesn't ANYBODY ELSE USE THE POWER SWITCH TO PAUSE THEIR GAMES????

I just can't understand the popularity of the DS at all. I ran out to buy the DS Lite because it looked cool, and it sucked just as bad as the old DS (but looked cool), and now it' collects dust again. I'm using my PSP nightly!

Even if you discount the PSP's amazing graphics, full sound, full motion video, Music playback, Movie player, and the HORDES of Awesome Homebrew software.... that "Hold" Power Switch is the MOST AWESOME thing on a video game system EVER! I can play a single game, without rebooting, for WEEKS!

I hear you bro! I leave my PSP in standby for months at a clip. Hell the one day I turned it on, thinking it it was off, and found myself in the middle of GTA's pause menu. I was like sweet! Right back into the action a week later.

To tell you of how popular the DS is, I know of 1 person who has one. Not to say I know many others with a PSP (only 3 so far, 4 if I count some random kid at school I saw with one last year) But that is 4 times more than I have seen a DS.

If there is one thing Sony could do, it would be to listen to us. Who knows how to make a console work better than the FANS?

Dude, you can do that with a DS- just close it. When you open it, it's right where you left off.

Have you heard of save . You can do it and then return to play later. I dont know what you do with your nds but i have over 45 games and none take 2 minutes to start. I love bought but actually the psp load time is 100 times worse.

I don't mind the loading so much. It is a pain, but with Devhook .46 with 333mhz +wifi fixed, its not too bad.

Having made backups of my UMD games loading time is drastically reduced, but I stopped using them because the ISO of GTA loads so much faster than the UMD during play between my 2 PSPs(thus not synchronizing and failing to work in MP mode), so I had resort to buying another copy of the game.

And with memory sticks as limited as they are it just isn't all that feasible, but worth noting for someone who is sick of long load times.

f9zdark even if you do it your self. Read the forum rules no iso talk at all.
