Sony goes out of its way to deter any homebrew programs on PSPs...you know why? because they don't want people running Nintendo emulators on the PSP, because then Nintendo could sue them for enabling piracy.
As for good PSP games...I want someone to tell me 5 great PSP games that are PSP exclusive...from where I sit, every worthwhile game that's come out on the PSP has eventually come out on the PS2, or was already out on a different system(FF:Tactics)
Nintendo would have no case against Sony. In the same way that they can't sue Microsoft for allowing Windows emulators, they wouldn't be able to sue Sony if people used a homebrew platform to develop an emulator.
You know it, my friend!Slight OT. A re-release of Chrono Trigger just got announced for the DS, I think Civfanatics alumn and current Firaxian Jon Shafer must be ecstatic!
*shrug* that's just what I heard once. It could be a completely different reason...such as Sony is ridiculously obsessed with DRM and allowing homebrew stuff would open the door to avoiding their DRM.
because the psp is pretty much dead
Sony is absolutely terrible at promoting their gaming electronics, and that is basically what it comes down too. There are many great games for the PSP, definitely more so than the DS, and the PSP is such a versatile platform that I don't understand why Sony doesn't incorporate homebrew applications into the official firmware. It's almost as if they never had a vested corporate interest in ensuring the success of the PSP.
