Just hacked my PSP

[D.D.D.]

Very nice BGs!

The PSP is still the most versatile gaming device on the planet thanks to its massive selection of homebrew and emulators (as well as still having physical controls). The system is pretty much cracked wider open than any other major console in history, and now you can pretty much do whatever you want with the little thing. Seriously, everyone who owns a PSP should get it hacked; getting mine hacked was one of the smartest gaming-related decisions I have ever made.

I'd argue the Wii is a better console for hacking and emulating. The wireless pro classic controller is much more comfortable than then PSP system and the emulation performs better in general.

Maybe so, but the PSP is portable, and can be hooked up to a TV. Heck, if you have a PSP Go (Ha!) then you can connect a Dualshock 3 via Bluetooth. If that isn't the most versatile gaming device ever, then I don't know what is.

I totally agree with you on versatility but I still think most of the emulators suck on PSP either because they aren't that good compared to a PC version or Wii version and that the dpad on the PSP really feels bad when playing SNES+GEN games.
I use my PSP for: PSP games, minis, NES emu, music & movies sometimes, and some other stuff I guess.

the CPS2 emulator is awesome. Gigawing, mars matrix, vampire saviour, and MvC all run great on it.

This was unexpected. I am definitely gonna look into this.

its true i cant believe how smooth it runs, too bad the psp d-pad is a sin against humanity for fighters, my thumb hurts thinking about it.

Once I finally got a hold of some working roms, everything was running super smoothly. I couldn't believe how fluid the sprites looked. In addition to the above titles, I got Pocket Fighter, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, and Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter all working perfectly.

The d-pad isn't THAT bad. It's tolerable once you get used to it. Quarter swings are a pain to pull off though. I wish there was a way to get usb game pads running on the psp. There's a mini usb port in the top, so I don't see why anyone hasn't made a plugin for gamepads yet.
