Hi all,
you know i couldn't decide which section this should go in! but as the Vita is out lets go with Retro
well i recently bought a PSP on this here very site and i have now had some time to use it, and...........
i bloody well love it!!!
the PSP still looks pretty nifty IMPO, well made and feels very nice to use.
the controls are well laid out and it is kind of like using a large joypad
in stock form the PSP is very usable with a wide range of games and films (CEX sell UMDs for around £3 each ). for a handheld device the graphics and sound are very good.
but when you mod the PSP is when it really comes to life, the emulation is great! i have the entire roms sets for the Atari 2600, the megadrive and the N64, the 1st 2 are amazing, easy to use and of course there is so much choice.
the N64 isn't as good, with some glitches and choppy sound on Mario Kart (but i haven't given up on the settings yet!)
the PSP will support a memory card upto 32gb, i use a micro sd card via an adaptor which works perfectly and costs a lot less than a memory duo card!!
Movie playback is excellent and looks to be about the same quality as a DVD.
Battery life seems to be about 4hrs of gaming, or about a movie and a half
the screen is also very good, but rubbish in ourdoor daylight (you can buy a hood to help this, but this adds to the bulk of the device)
and the back cover for the UMD is a little flimsy
all in all i am very impressed, a very capable little portable with a lot of potential, big thumbs up!!
