Forums - Sony - Will the PS Vita gain the ability to download everything online in the background while gaming & using apps thru a Firmware Update like the 3DS did with Firmware 2.1.0-3U?

 

Would you want any future firmware updates for Vita to increase Battery Life instead?

Yes, in 1 or so updates. 25 55.56%
 
No, I just want the PS Vi... 20 44.44%

So I've been sitting in the eShop waiting for nothing? Is there something you have to hit to start background downloads?

Speaking of Vita btw. I actually downloaded some stuff today and noticed network features are automatically disabled with the games I play, so background downloading while playing games actually isn't possible... at least not with all games.

Yep, and I don't think there is anything you can do about eShop & Kid Icarus: Uprising except wait for another Firmware Update to at least do it for the eShop, since the eShop use to do it.

Thanks, that would go well with info I got from a user name Drago on yahoo answers:

ok i am really tired of this crap how foolish the people are they even dont know about nintendo 3ds cpu and its hidden capacities i open 3ds myself and i found out about

 

3ds:-
1] 2 cpu's its dual core each is cabable of going to 1.8ghz but each underclocked at 800mhz for battery issues
2]more than 200mb of ram ...some people say its 128mb but its more than that...
3]gpu is is clocked at 400mhz
4]gpu can be overclocked at more than 1ghz so think about that.underclocked at 400mhz
5]its 3d think before you talk.
6]1.5gb of flash memory.
7]overall cpu of 3ds can be more than 3ghz if overclocked.

ps vita:-
1]4 cpus 4 cores running each at 1ghz it isn't even capable of going up to 1.2ghz.
2]cpu is same as iphone 4's
3]526mb of ram it can be more than that...cause its much better than ps3
4]gpu is capable of going upto 300mhz..so think about it.
5]even if 3ds and ps vita will be hacked..people arent gonna download those up to 8gb sized games of vita & 3ds 
6]max cartridge capacity of 3ds is same as ps vita.
7]over all cpu of ps vita is upto 4ghz.

 

 

I think he got confuse from the RAM efficiency or something. But you get the point.

Anyways these are the facts of the custom made chip in the 3DS.

 


Like Lafiel? Who said:

polygon count isn't that important in these - texture size, which is determined mostly by vram size and bandwith, and shader effects per pixel are way more important for good looking graphics

with tesselation polygons play a larger role again as polys dynamically are added the nearer you get to an object (it can be blown up to absurd amounts of polys), but none of the platforms you mentioned uses that
