I think most of these have been answered fully, except for #1. There are actually a lot of great little applications that the PSP can run, aside from emulators. Specifically things like a screenshot tool, cheat devices that also allow you to load saves from PS1 memory card formats (especially great if you have a dexdrive like me, and transfer your PS1 saves to your PSP.), little tools like battery life management, etc. However emulation is the big draw of modding a PSP.

I could have showed all of those but I am not sure if VGC wants links to threads I have made in the past that contain hundreds of homebrew PSP applications as well as emulators.
|
I agree, that would probably get you banned. But the point is, there are actually a lot of really useful homebrew apps besides emulators, most people just aren't going to be aware of them.
|
They are not aware of them because the media only focuses on the negatives and from that only piracy gets the spotlight. Homebrew is in reality a very very good thing.
|
Yeah, and I think most people probably don't realize that most pirates probably buy more software than anyone. Sure there are always a percent that buy nothing, but it's not the majority by any sense.
|
Nobody will believe you though, even though that holds a lot of truth. I've said for a while that the claims of what piracy does to hurt the industry is overblown.
Not saying I support it fully, even though I have done my fair share, but I just think people need to keep more of an open mind on things.

I know people won't believe it, there is a taboo around the subject on a lot of mainstream gaming sites, but I think the general idea of how much damage piracy does to the industry is way off base.
