PSP vs Pocket PC. why?
 
I am an owner of a psp and a ppc. From the first moment i got my vogue i have been troubled by this question: psp has 333MHz, 32mb RAM and yet most pocket pcs have 400+MHz, 64-128 RAM. So why is it that the psp games are so much better in every single aspect? Any thoughts, opinions, or any other information can be discussed here.

Uh... maybe b/c there are no drivers for the video chipset....

Basically this has been a big problem that just surfaced up recently.

Heres the first link I found.

And theres a bunch of threads on this forum about it too.

Right...

Still keep in mind, the PSP was "designed" to excel there but yeah Vip's right.

No reason to compare.
 
There's really no comparison between the two. The PSP is designed as a game system while it does many other things FAIRLY well. (ever try to browse online with it?)
Remember that the cpu is not the only factor in determining how well a piece of hardware handles games. The PSP has dedicated hardware to handle the strain of modern gaming, like a graphics chip for example, that PPCs don't.

Thank you for your replies, i was aware f the driver issue and i guess it will be long until there are some good games for ppc. And then again, there is many cool 3D MIDlet games that run on ppc

Sweet! What kind do you have? I cant really find anything that works w/o a keyboard... :scratch:

Check my topic on "Virtual soft keys java 3D)" you can find a download link there. ;)

Huh? Thats a java midlet manager. Im currently using the "intent Java Midlet manager" right now. And In your other thread you also talk about how you need to get the keys to work so you can play games... so how are you making any sense? :scratch:

You said that you had some games that worked on the Touch, and you give me a link to that...

First is that PPC's have cumbersome controls compared to a PSP.
Second, the Video Driver issue kills serious 3D games on the Qualcomm.

And Finally.. The Developers... The Developers... The Developers...

As it currently stands all truly Great games by the big studios are going to stick with a Gaming system (Console, Hand-held) or PC because of the fore-mentioned issues. There are Some good games out there however.

Of the top of my head i can name HSpeedv5 which is a great game for vogue (nfs 2 feel), however, there are tons of other games but u need to try each one to see if u need the soft keys. I addressed you to the my other topic because i have noticed that you also own a mogul, and 3D java runs really nice on it considering the prescience of soft keys.
