Wrong, its still coming out to psp.
why would the guy cancel it for the PSP when its easier to code for since the PSP has a nice 3D chip when GPx2 doesnt?
Because he said that he didn't want to support the PSP because Sony is fighting as hard as they can to destroy the homebrew scene.
What a weird guy.
I mean... if he quits making homebrew for the PSP cause Sony doesn't want the scene to exist, than he's just letting Sony win, y'know?
[/off topic post]
He's not. He's supporting a weaker compagny
that supports hombrew. Sony don't want anything hombrew on is psp, he doesn't realise alot of people would but the system only for the hombrew, that alot of people think that commercial psp games are lacking and/or are shitty (sorry for the word), and that some don't really care about umd videos. Sony doesn't understand that. I would buy a psp if it wasn't of these updates, windows and 200 steps to play something that isn't suposed to.
He's just saying thank you to GPH, because of their acceptation of homebrew, by developing for it. This will make alot of people consider the gp2x at the place of psp, for those who know wand care about emulators and hombrew, and it will make the community bigger because of this support. In the other hand, sony will loose alot from the type of customer that would buy a psp for homebrew and emus. To resume, It's a 'thanks' for GPH and and 'Go to hell' for sony.
buying is voting, deving is also voting.
as for the guy (sorry lost your name) who asked if the psp was easier to code than the gpx2, we don't know yet, since the gp2x isn't out yet. But consider that the gpx2 IS made for hombrew and emus, that the ARM9 is easy to code and overclock, that it have a 2d accelerator, unlike psp, and it will have support for homebrew so there's
alot of chances that the gpx2 will be way easier to code than the psp.
Linux have nothing to do here, if you don't want to use the os to port something anyway.
