Online pass...thats wonderful.
Any word on jailbreaks? emulation? making it run MS DOS?

Hello World as a unsigned code program. Other than that, nothing else lol
|
Damn, I guess its still early.
Screw the online pass...We want other OS! Whats Gehotz doing these days? :P
|
What's the fascination with OSs? how many systems running OSs do you need?
|
Running the actual OS isn't that interesting but some people find hacking fun. I found hacking my PS3 with 3.42 firmware more fun than playing most of the games on it at the time.
For portables, I mostly just want to reply old school emulator titles on the go so the day PSV gets a good SNES, Genesis, MAME and NEO GEO emulators is the day I buy it. Hope emulators dont have an "online pass"... :)

Okay 2 things confuse me about this
#1 Good SNES games? not to be funny but maybe it's time to move on with the times? SNES was awesome but seriously? It was God knows how long ago, since the SNES there have been hundreds of excellent games out and this is just the handhelds alone. Maybe it's time to just move with the times and embrace the new games. There were these consoles recently called the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox maybe it's time to advance? I've never understand people who buy a brand new console just so they can play their old collection. I can understand what the idea of having a unfied handheld to play all your "faves" but the whole point of a new console is to play new games. Exactly how will a touch pad or a gyroscope help with a SNES game? At no time does the game show off the skills of the handheld that you spent money on.
#2 Which brings me to my second point: You have a psp which does all that. why then are you keen to "upgrade" only to then go backwards and play the exact same SNES games via an emulator. To me, this seems like a waste of money.
lastly if you find hacking more fun than "playing most games" I'm gonna say you're playing all the wrong games...

You wouldnt understand unless you try it yourself. Playing the latest up to date games and old classics on the same package is pretty awesome especially if its on a portable.
Also a gamer should never "just move on" , a gamer should embrace all games, old and new. Along with that, not sure what you meant by "Its a waste of money", I doubt emulation is the main reason why anyone would buy a 3DS/PSVita since you can pretty much do it on the older portables and on a PC.
All 3 consoles (and I guess portables excluding NDS/PSP) is doing the same thing via their own download service (i.e. xbl, psn, vc) AND their charging you for it as well even though you can technically get the games for free in another way lawl or for cheaper online.

I once in a while do runs of a few SNES/GBA games just for kicks but never do I feel the need to forego modern day games because they were "so good". You say a gamer should embrace all games but from the sounds of things, Dis just wants to play old games over and over again, not to mention he claims he has more fun hacking than playing games...IMO if that's true, he needs to find better games or better yet, stop rehashing old games over and over again.
And also, Dis says that's the only reason he's going to buy a psv, just to hack it and replay SNES/genesis games...am I the only one who thinks that doesn't seem right?
