A smart chap has coded an application allowing a GameCube title, the Japanese version of Zelda: Wind Waker, to run on the PSP. Not perfectly, of course, since it has no sound, is laggy, and for some reason all buttons are being pressed down at the same time.
Diehard GameFAN writes: "The past few weeks have been weak for the Playstation Store. For two straight weeks, we had weak updates with little content. Then last week, we had an update with a lot of content, most of which sucked. This week brings us a bunch of demos, including a couple of high-profile ones, some interesting sales, a new Qore episode, and a new game."
"While it doesn't quite fulfill our wish list of PSP games we'd most want to purchase by download and run from a single Memory Stick, D3 Publisher's "classic" catalog is coming to PlayStation Store (the PC one) this September. Props for being ahead of the curve. Up for digital delivery will be:"
And they are already thinking of rolling out downloadable PSP titles? The only way I can see this being effective is for those who like to "pirate" their games, or create backups on memory sticks.
Get your PSone classics up to par first, and then we can talk about downloading PSP games...
I agree. They have Syphon Filter 1 & 3, but not 2. Come on, where is it? Anyways, I don't mind PSP games going to the PStore, as long as they're cheaper than retail.
sure they NEED to get the Psone games up to par but im thinking this move it more aimed at the PsP2 so it can get Rid of the awfull UMD and will get over the backwards compatibility issues then
Good idea but needed ages ago
would be kool if you could play it on the ps3 as well for big screen and comfy controller
Man, I want Metal Gear Solid on the Canadian (hopefully!) and Amerian PSN Store more than anything.
ELSPA has declared that the British videogames industry hit an "all time high" in 2006 with a 7 per cent increase in the number of games sold - bringing the total figure to 65.1 million units.
All-formats sales totalled GBP 1.36 billion - a new record, according to ELSPA, and an increase of 1 per cent over the figure for 2005.
The majority of console games purchased were for PlayStation 2, followed by Xbox 360, Xbox, Wii and GameCube. PC titles did well, with software sales up 7 per cent - making 2006 the platform's "best year ever".
PS2 sells prove that it isnt just about specification.
Microsoft thought the xbox1 would outsell the ps2 because it had better graphics, but the ps2 did better because it had a better range of software.
Microsoft thought the xbox360 would outsell the ps2 because it had better graphics, but the ps2 is still doing better because it has a better range of software, that appeals to mainstream and not just the homo fanboys like John Carmack kissing the bum of Bill Gates.
homo fanboys?
personally i didnt like the xbox much either, same as the PS2 in my opinion. But the only reason why the PS2 outsold is the casual gamer market. Those people that think a 'new game' is a re-hash of an old EA sports game with a new title, or those people that buy a game just becasue it has blood in it as blood in a game obviously makes it an adult game.
hell yeah! this is exactly why i bought my PSP and never upgraded the firmware. hacks and emulators is what im talkin about. soon, before you know it, they'll be DS emulators for the PSP. Go hacking community!
lol thats how the first game boy colour emulator looked like and in about 4 months it was playing perfect on the psp same with n64.
go hacking community psp rules, but i wish they would get the final fantasy game on psp sooner.
I smell another firmware. The only reason I bough my psp was for SNES emulation; but a friend upgraded my firmware and there it goes the PSP. Now my PSP is useless! it can only play PSP games! Why me! Why! I hate Sony for new firmwares... They spoiled my fun!
u dont have to worry just tell me what version ur psp is and i could probably put firmware on it.
