This thing is absolutely insane.

The Sony PSP2 has arrived under the codename NGP. It has a 5-inch OLED touchscreen, dual analog sticks, front/rear cameras,a touch-sensitive panel on the back of the device used for control along with a quad-core CPU and GPU. (Updated)

Update: Turns out the internal magic of the PSP2 lies in its quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and quad-core PowerVR SGX534MP4+ GPU. I'm scared to think how big the battery has to be to power this thing.

In addition to the above specs, the PSP2/NGP has 3G, Bluetooth and GPS, along with wi-fi, and Sony claims this thing is as powerful as a PS3. The 5-inch screen is roughly 4x higher resolution than what's previously been featured in PSP devices (960x544). Kotaku says the screen is a beauty with impressive viewing angles.

I'm not buying that unless there's some really good games for it. And a reasonable price of course. Anyway, that's a really awesome hand-held Sony got there. :)

They can easily port PS3 games onto it. You'll probably see a lot PS3 games for it?

But again they're going for horse power rather than something new and interesting.

the specs on that thing are just WTF BOOM, although from the picture it looks like the PSP is losing the XMB, which i really liked.

There's going to be some really good games for this. The Playstation has a LOT of flagship platform exclusives that will show up on this.

Quite frankly, I'm not exactly sure what you can do with handhelds anymore that could be considered as "new" or "interesting" beyond what we have, except maybe 3D (though I honestly am not a fan of 3D). Plus, with all the other things crammed in, the things this will be capable of will mean we see better games than before on handheld, and its connectivity with the PSN store means we still get good minis for short bursts of gaming.

I passed on the original PSP, and haven't picked up any other handheld either (for many reasons I won't go into), but this one... this, I think, is the one. :)

>Sony claims this thing is as powerful as a PS3
I also claim my phone is as powerful as my desktop. The usual big mouth bullshit from Sony.

>I'm scared to think how big the battery has to be to power this thing.
My guess is the original PSP battery (2200mah) will last about 3-4 hours on the thing.

I will see about the real thing until I draw judgement, judging by the way Sony's been doing on the mobile scene (all about the spectacles, and piss-poor execution).

But NGP is only the codename, no?

I don't know if you were replying to my domain name or not but, most people are referring to it as a NGP now. If my website gets anywhere near successful, I will change the domain name as soon as they decide on an official name.

I've been hoping for a decent new handheld console for school/holidays. The 3DS looks like it won't cut it this time, as it's too expensive, and not much of an improvement over the DS.

I'm interested in seeing the game lineup and price for this. :D

i don't see the point of the "PSP phone", other than social gaming/reincarnated n-gage comparing to this bad-ass..any release dates?

The pattern looks very WIP.

Would be hilarious if you can't push the sticks inside the device.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
