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...

diego · 30/04/2009 04:50 AM

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

whjms · 30/04/2009 05:02 AM

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.

LOL at typo.

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

lembas · 30/04/2009 11:32 AM

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