Endless Paradigm

Quote:

This may look like a standard-issue Sony PSP handheld gaming console, but it's not. No, this is the PXP-900, and it is most definitely not made by Sony. But it's still pretty awesome.
  You see, the PXP is built as a portable emulator, meaning you can load it up with basically every old school game ever made and play them wherever you want. It's got a 4.3-inch screen and supports "NES, Famicom, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Super Famicom, SEGA MegaDrive and some sort of 32-bit ROM." And with the dearth of good PSP games, this might be a much more fun choice than the official version.

  



If you're a fan of the PSP look and form factor but eschew the 3D graphics for NES/SNES and Gameboy-level sprites, the PSP-900 is $90 worth spending.

Just needs GBA support.

I like retro games but the PSP can do it and can do more too anyway...

That's nice.
Wonder if it actually works well though

probably not...

It's $90...  That's pretty cheap for a 2GB device with video and game capabilities, plus extendable storage.  That's around AU$123 - if wee assume AU$20 premium to get the thing here, then +AU$50 for a 16GB SD card, that's around the same price as an 8GB iPod Nano, but with way more features (perhaps with less portability though).
I'm interested in weight/battery power issues though.

If I didn't have a PSP, might even look into this one.
I'm interested in its claimed support for "AAC+" (have tried on the PSP, but using the homebrew player CoolPlayer, you need to upclock to 333MHz before the PSP doesn't lag on it).

Is HE-AAC really that hard to decode? I mean the PSP can play a H264 video together with a LC-AAC audio at the same time perfectly fine...

But then it also depends on the efficiency of the decoder.

I bet it's just normal AAC support though.

iets fake,. ...

LOL at typo.

crazy they can 'borrow' the whole design of the psp like that!

lol, wow. That's the best PSP rip-off I've seen.
