Psp V Gp32

[sammster001]

This winter the PSP is scheduled for release. It is apparently boasting enough memory to hold a whole 700mb playstation games. It will also have MP3 playback and movie playback. This sounds impressive indeed. The movies will be amazing quality as well as playstation games on the move!

Do you think the PSP is really gonna happen and for only £200? Also how will the GP32 shape up to this real competiton? Is it time for the GP32 to be replaced with an updated model?

Emulators and homebrew software is the GP32's strength over the PSP. I really think that Gamepark should up the chip speed to get full speed SNES and Megadrive emulation

 

[unlucky]

I think the PSP will win on all acounts but gp32 is a 2 year old console. short of our psx emulation being some kind of ultimately amazing emulator i dont see it competing with the might of sony... though the gp32 will atlest have home brew developor's on its side. And anyway theres no chance of me affording a psp

 

[jesnil]

If I was able to play fullspeed snes and genesis (with sound) on my gp32 it wouldnt mather how good any other handheld was. As long they didnt have fullspeed emus like snes and genesis.

 

[washo]

I dont think PSP and GP32 can be compared...
the GP32 is an old and unknown console by an unknown company
PSP is from Sony and a lot of developpers will write games for this one

BUT I really love my GP32 and will love it for a long time.
And thank to all the devrs the GP32 have we will soon have a fullspeed SNES & Genesis emulation
maybe GBA will be close to fullspeed (or maybe the fullspeed will be )
The PSX emu should come out even if it slow it will be a big emu....
The EU launch could improve selling rate of gamepark...I hope

see you :lol:

I dont think so... i wonder why such a person is on a gp32 forum...
The GP32 cant be compared to the PSP, the gp32 is much older and also mostly for homebrew developers. i dont think that sony will support this.

And why do you think the gp32 is getting shitter by the day????
just look at the news..
A GBA emu which could reach fullspeed
PSX emu...
OS9x 0.3 soon.

and the zodiac isnt better than the gp32, the gp32 is much cheaper and has much more emus. Also the community is better.

Listen Dude....
If you dont have faith in GP32 then just LEAVE
I won't miss you at all...You can trust me....The only thing I will remember about you is that you made a lot of people lose time because of you...
You are just a thread trasher....You always say bad things even about good things....
PLEASE leave ASAP...for our sake

see you :lol: (maybe in hell)


EDIT : you beat me again by 1 minute
But you are so true...

The only thing I can see being missing from the GP32 is a Neo Geo emulator. If it gets all other 16bit and below systems done 100% it'll be perfect for what I want it for.

 

[Sonic-NKT]

sry washo
next time you win.

So get out of here if you don't like the GP32. :angry:
We all know psp is much powerfull, and I think most of us will get one when it release if it's not too expensive.
But GP32 is a TOTALLY FREE machine so there are a lot of emu and very interesting program there won't be on psp. That's why it's a nostagia console.
Psp will have better games thanx to his power and professional developpers but everything will be expensive and not free as the gp32.
And psp perhaps won't have emu because of law piracy because it's a very "official" console.

There are advantages and drawbacks with each other.

I'd say that the PSP is not in the same market as GP32 at all. .. If your a 12 year old kid who wants to play Xmen you just dont want a GP32.

If your a home brew emu-holic then GP32 is the best system ever made. What can I say . Iam the Eum-man ...

Best thing is to have both systems ... one for the Store bought NEW games. and thE Great GP32 for all your cool off the wall strange games/emu's/stuff

Take care peepes !

Nevermind blipped4, he is just a troll who should have been banned already.

I don't see why anyone would compare the GP32 and the PSP. The GP32 is mainly for emulation and home made stuff whilest the PSP is only for commerical stuff. It won't be released until 2005 so it matters little regardless.

 

[Octavious]

gp32 will win on the homebrew - emulation side
with all the chips and this and that for psp, homebrew will be a bitch
thers my 2cents
although i would like a portable ff7... maybe when i get to college I will aford one.
cmon... just 2 more years...

With a bit of luck PSP is going to be just as great as GBA: you get to buy the games you already bought a couple of years ago for even more money.
Most games released today are not very appealing to me (I am not crazy about 3D gaming and most games look the same to me) so the GP32 is great for me: I can play al the games I love and I don't really have the need for a 'more advanced' handheld.
It's the same thing on my PC: I have a Playstation emulator (with original games) but I never really play it, instead I play the older systems and still really enjoy those games.

 

[crazeeplaya]

PSP has been delayed until 2005 anyway

 

[thebluenewt]

This is a pointless comparison anyway, PSP has Sony behind it and will sell millions like the GBA does now.

It won't affect the niche market for the GP32 at all.

The power of GP32 is in fact that it is "open source" console. People who bought it - bought it for its nostalgia/retro factor. I bought it for its C64/Atari 8bit/Nes emulation. Not for games. PSP will have more powerfull hardware what make possible to play all those fancy PSX games. But it wont be as open source as GP32. Check list of emulators for PSX 1. Not many And probably the same will be with PSP. And here we come to conclusion. As it was written many many times regarding questions: What to buy GP32 or GBA ? You can buy GBA for many commercial games (but dont forget that near 70-80% of GBA games are just crap) or GP32 if you are retrofan, like opensource/scene projects. This also the factor that after near 2 years with only 30 commercial games it is still cool and great console for certain people. For people like me even better PSP wont give so great gaming experience. I am one of those who preffer to play Commando or Last Ninja on c64 emu the new Tekken 2000 or whatever on PSP. Of course i will buy PSP for Square games that will be probably published for it, but it is what i do all the time. I own a lot of consoles since NES times (actually i own pirated clone called Pegagus (Dendy in Russia) but only GP32 has influenced me so much and caused to make this site. So i think discussing what is better: GP32 or GBA/PSP/Nintendo DS is pointless. GBA/PSP/DS are for masses where GP32 is not.

Very wisely said, Hando.
