Open your eyes to the PSP scene - We're spoiled.

[dhraad]

I usually have my psp on me at all times. Emu's, games, video, music, customization - I've got it. I've had my psp for a year and a half now.

The glaring problem I've been seeing with psp games - and something a smart developer could take advantage of - is the lack of a MMO.

Roleplaying? Shooter? Does it really matter? The psp has a wide net of players, and most of us are on forums online. Take a game, make it so you actually get online to play, not ad-hoc and sit back and reap the rewards. I'm willing to bet most of us would love the chance to shell out around $40 to play a Counterstrike or WoW-like game with someone else that we know on these forums.

But until that happens...well, lets just say that doing the same things all the time with my psp, although i'm playing different games...I'm getting desensitized.

Nice thought (MMO game) but I have a better one. Sega Saturn emulation, is that possible?

[Chameleon]

no... no its not

There's actually quite a lot of room for improvement as far as homebrew is concerened. I'm not saying that we don't have a mind-boggling selection of great apps, but it really doesn't take much imagination to think of a slew of possibilities that are still unfulfilled. (at the very least, a _better_ SNES emulator would deffinitely be very welcome... it's kind of sad that both the GBA and NeoGeo emulators run circles around SNES9xTYL. I'm not a big mega drive afficianado, but I get the feeling that there's considerable room for improvement there as well)

Personally, I bought my PSP precisely so that I could create apps for it, and that's why, over a year and a half later, I still can't get enough of it (even though I've never touched CFW, PS1 emulation, or XMB hacks). It's my dream game machine, AND I can create (pretty much) whatever applications that I want for it. It's hard to ask for more from a console.

Moral of the story: if you're bored with the PSP scene, stop being a leach (just kidding!), get up off the couch, and start giving back to the homebrew scene by creating your OWN original software. Coding's a blast!

I think the psp scene has become a little slower as there are not so many really new apps, as we almost have everything: we have almost every older console emulated, many useful apps, like the gps program etc.

I think the next major breakthrough would be the port of an operating system like linux, or windows ce. It would give us the possibility to use all the useful tools that were written for these systems.

If you're getting bored with the PSP "scene" then I suggest you find an emu for a system you haven't played before, go read up on some of the games available for that system, and have at it.

Precisely.

People banging on about being 'bored' with a system that plays PS1/GBA/NG/CPS/SNES/PC Engine etc games should get their PSPs revoked. These machines were the main systems for a lot of us in past years, and they lasted ages. It is a sad indictment of the quick fix hungry people of today that the above (plus You Tube videos and whatever else) aren't enough for them. Something big has to crack or be developed every week, and twice a week during school holidays.

That's why I said that we were spoiled.
