PSP hopes and doubts...

MuGen · 02-23-2005, 11:15 AM

I went to the GameStop today and saw on the TV monitor footage of someone playing Ridge Racer on PSP, and the graphics were gorgeous for this handheld. Definitely beyond my expectations, and it looked exactly like a PS2 game. I hope when I get this, the picture is as clear as on the TV when I was watching it.

Any hopes or expectations for the PSP?

My hope is that they release a regular pack (with just a PSP) for sale by my birthday in june, cause I aint got no moneys for this shiite.

Other than that, I hope that some of the launch games (metal gear acid and lumines in particular) are as good as I'm hearing from importers.

i hope they bring down the price right away.....

I'm sure they will release an individual sales package. Because they are launching all those accessories seperately as well. If they come in Value Pack, why sell the accessories seperately? Because they plan to launch single handheld packs. Just a theory.

I have high hopes when it comes to eye candy.

With that screen, and first-gen software looking like this:

I would expect to see some nice things years down the road...

i have hopes someone will make a nes emulator to put on the memory card to play old nes games on it.

wouldn't that be good for the DS?

I meant... "wouldn't the NES emulator be good for the DS.... not ... an emulator on PSP would be good on the DS."

And I think Null meant 'Affect' instead of 'effect'. :finger:

The PSP is more fit for ROMs, because of the USB port...

the DS have a memory card? if so, it would be good for DS, and what kind of memory card does it use?

im not sure which one has the higher main processor tho. whichever has the better processor is better for emulators. the Dreamcast has a 200mhz? it can handle NES games fine. but its not quite powerful enough to handle SNES and Genesis games. at most some SNES and Gen games run at 95% speed. most run slower. it just needs more power.

i THINK the PSP has a 333mhz processor. so i'd think it could handle snes games at full speed.

but either way on eather handheld. it would be fun to play the old classic games on the go.

And no, Canyarion, can't you read? i meant Effect. as you see it's what i typed.

I have a SNES Emulator for my DC and it runs all my SNES games perfect on it. I didnt know the SNES had an over 200mhz processor in the early 90's

I thought it was like 90 mhz or something?

some games it can run close, but they say its only 95% at best, as far as i've seen. but i'll have to check em out again.

and think about that for a minute. its not the dreamcast running a game, its the dreamcast running an EMULATOR, running a game. emulators are not so easy on a processor to run. they take a bit of juice.

*buys some juice*

I just still cannot wait to get my PSP..
