Gp2x, Not The Only Handheld With Tv Out?

[lucoxade]

Seems like the idea of having TV out on a hand held was an idea that PSP owners are after, lik-sang have an article about a TV out adapter for the PSP

http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3706&&lsaid=219793

It seems a bit crap realy, just a camera that suckers on to the front of the console and outputs to S-video. The site is probably being slashdotted at the moment so no piccies

Edit: Looking back this probably should have been in the other consoles thread, but it does mention the GP2x in the title

Yeah, I'd already made mention of the other PSP tv Out device in the "other consoles" section too. Neither solution is entirely great.

 

[Eolair]

Lol, sounds like a strap on. Get the latest sex toy for your psp

Nothing special, the GBA had a TV out thing, too...

 

[Alpha2]

dont forget the GBA player on the 'Cube it's technically the same thing even though it's not being played on a GBA.

GBA and PSP games are designed for the small screen, Putting them onto your 42" TV will make them look horrid. However plugging your GP2X and watching your DVD quailty movie or SNES/MD/whatever full screen console will be much better.

I like how you make me picture the cube as a badass adapter

​

I don't think they look horrible... SNES had only slightly larger resolution than GBA and certainly less than the PSP (on most games anyway).

Low res games have a much nicer look on a TV screen than they do on what all these youngsters are used to through an emulator on a high res PC monitor.

OMG i sound like one of these people who dismiss CDs because vinyl has a 'warmer sound'

That's actually true, but mostly because analog sounds are more natural to the ear than digital. It has little to do with the actual sound quality of the medium.

 

[reallynotnick]

wow so they are using a video camera and putting the psp screen on the tv, how freaking dumb is that.

 

[0-bake]

the sega nomad handheld had tv-out and i guess thats the oldest handheld with tv-out.

My thread about the other PSP TV out device:

I remember a XBOX360 dev demonstrating how you could send your PSP output and sound to your TV via the xbox360.

That was fairly cool, becuase it uses a standard protocal for media streaming.

I think we will see the technology added to windows XP in SP3 as well as Longhorn.

So if we made drivers for it, we should be able to wifi out to your TV which will be reading streamed media from your PC. (or xbox360)

A bit roundabout. But still cool.

SP 2 lead to my having to reformat my laptop. Goodluck convincing me to update to SP3.

 

[icurafu]

could I convince to buy an xbox360 and wificard?

 

[Alpha2]

hahahahahahaha no.

 

[Skitzo]

Feel free to convince your self to buy me an xbox360 and a wificard..

Oh, and a TV while you're at it.

Not exactly. by the time the sound comes out of the CD player it has been converted to analog. The main reason was that many CDs weren't "digitized" very well and didn't sound as good. It was mainly due to the digitizing process.
