I'm Shocked...

Yes, Nintendo 64 is dead since 2002.

No I ment N64 emulation on the PSP via 'Daedalus'! :thumbup:

It's funny, I did a search for my name and this came up. Anyways, wtf is wrong with you people. How can you POSSIBLY compare homebrew/emulation on a handheld to a console. Last time I checked, you can't play your precious psp homebrew on a 72inch HDTV. The Dreamcast actually has commercial homebrew, we have EXTREMELY mature emulators (try NesterDC SE to see literally THE most compatible NES emulator with one of the most impressive menu systems of any console emulator), we can play divx (ok, my info may be old, last I checked the psp couldn't or barely could), lightgun/fishing/ddr/samba/karaoke/mic/vmu/rumble/etc etc etc accessories, and whatever else.

Basically you can't really compare the two at all. Most of the things that were listed as not being on the DC are literally in the works and such. It can't fit in your pocket, but it's not supposed to? Oh, and lets not forget, DC can play audio CDs =P

[Mr. Shizzy]

Actually you can play PSP on your 72 inch TV. (Either with PS3 or PSP on TV Adaptor) :P

Anyways I agree with alot of your points. But my point was not which was better. It was just that I think if you compare the actaull full speed emulation availible for DC and PSP; it's shocking how much PSP blows DCaway. I had just assumed when I decided to hack DC, that it had been around years longer. So I thought it would be safe to assume it would offer everything PSP has, and then some. Sadley, this was not the case. And I was quite frankley disappointed. I think I will turn my targets to XBOX for my home based emulation needs now. No disrespect intended towards the DC scene. I was just a little shocked, and wanted to get some feedback on the subject. Again, things I suspected would be readily availible on DC (@ fullspeed) that isn't (to my knowledge) :

- CPS 1 & 2 (CPS1 sloooow, and no availible CPS2)
-GBA (slow port of gpSP 0.8 availible)
- FULL SPEED SNES
- N64
- ect, ect, ect...

I didn't EXPECT any of this. But I SUSPECTED all of it. Anyways, like I said, DC kicks a$$. Nothing against it, I just don't think it will meet my homebrew needs for a home console.

I feel a post by quzar coming soon...

I don't get how you can say DC doesn't have homebrew as good as the PSP does. PSP has much more, but most of it is useless in my opinion.

Also, DC has a playable version of Marathon, and until Inigo Montoya finishes his version for the PSP, DC is going to be better (to me atleast). Marathon, Quake, Doom , and other classic FPS (and now dungeons) was the main reason, along with emulation, that I got my PSP in the first place.

My main reason for getting a DC was just for the games, which are still superior to most games out for the "next gen". DC=Games+Homebrew, PSP=homebrew+a few select games.

DC wins.

Did he say USELESS???

WOW...
what a kick in the Balls...
In my opinion MapThis by Deniska is the most useful app out there...
Fully functional GPS...
And there are plenty of other apps out there are worth plenty..

[lemmiwinks]

DC and PSP for ever!

100% Agree, both systems are awsome, i would never sale one of them.

Yeah, I said useless. So what? That is my opinion. Did I say MapThis or Deniska were useless? Don't believe so. Besides, I didn't say ALL of it was useless, MOST of it is.

Does anyone actually read what is posted?

What really gripes me about the scene is all the unfinished programs we have lying around. How many 2d sprite based RPGs do we have? And how many of them are actually finished?

I hope that people would rather pick up where someone left off rather start new. Nothing is more useless than a 'demo' of a program or game.

Edit:

I should clarify (so as not to get castrated...) Nothing is more useless than a once WIP that has been abandoned. Then again some WIPs that haven't been worked on, are damn cool (Quake 2 for instance).

Very few do. Most, I have noticed, simply tend to skim

2D RPGs are a pipedream for indie development simply because of the extend of the non-programming related development and material required for it. 90+% of all homebrew dev is driven by the programmers, which often are very restricted in terms of content creation.

Anyways, I predict the DC outliving the PSP in terms of homebrew. It's already lasted this long. Also handheld homebrew has a short lifespan generally, especially since every new system does things like bigger screens and whatnot that do more to enhance homebrew play than just the added processing power/memory/video.

Look, I was just asking for an opinion, thats all..
I read through that already.
Thanks for your help anyways...

As far as I can tell, you didn't ask for anything...

Oh and I forgot to refute the 'play psp on tv' options. One costs an extra 600ish$ and the other is $#@! quality (comon, it's a video camera strapped onto the screen). The DC on the other hand can be had for under 50$ and has the ability to output 480i HD signal (via vga).
