Should I get A DSI or psp?

Hey i was just wondering should i get a DSi or a psp. i already have a ds lite and i hardly ever play that. but my main concern is homebrew. wich one would run homebrew better? (its always ben a dream to play my leagaly obtained nes, snes, ect on the go). i am leaning twords the psp mainly because it is more powerfull than the dsi so wouldnt that make for better homebrew possibilities? any iput would be nice :}

DSi homebrew will definitely be cool but is still a while away... A PSP has more powerful homebrew and requires a special battery and memory stick (aka not free)

The PSP way of hacking with the battery and stuff will always work but the DSi has already blocked a few flashcarts (not free) but when the DSi exploit does come out it will be free. This will probably be blocked but we will almost definitely find a work around...
Really the choice is yours.

i wonder if the dsi will have better games than the ds (cause lets face it for the ds it was maby like 1 in 7 games were actualy worth buying).

lol i know what you mean.... I think that the games would have to be better. (would be hard to do worse)

umm... you can make the special memory stick and battery yourself for free if you know someone with a modded PSP. The battery mod is a softmod, and the Memory Stick mod is too. In fact, I hereby offer to mod the PSP of any member here

Isn't the battery mod a hardware mod that requires you to lift some flap inside or something?

i like the dsi because of its cameras even though theyre not relly good but it has 2!! and topgun is right when an exploit comes out for the dsi it will be free so thats great

only if you have absolutely no way of softmodding it. There's a little eeprom chip inside each battery that holds the serial number, if the serial number reads 0x*Random 8 bits* it's a regular battery, if it reads 0xFFFFFFFF it's a Jigkick or "Pandora" battery, and if it reads 0x00000000 it's an auto-boot battery (kinda useless, and most people don't know about it). If there's one thing I know, it's PSP hacking, I used to talk to DAX/Mathieulh/Freeplay/etc. etc. all the time.


Once again, I reiterate, if you need your PSP hacked, lemme know, I'll set you up


EDIT: lol, I remember the night before the whole Pandora thing was announced, Mathieulh came on IRC and said "hey, something MASSIVE coming tomorrow, can't divulge details" and I said "if it's a universal unbricker, I will fly to France and **** his ****" .... I never made good on that offer

Nothing is unhackable, anything can be hacked, you just need a lot of knowledge and a bit of luck, and maybe a tweezer or two ;-)

it's not that it's "unhackable" it's just that it's a new motherboard revision that we haven't figured out, and the latest run of PSP-2000s has a mobo revision that we haven't figured out. Unless having Skype or 12 extra default backgrounds means something to you, I'd say get a PSP-1000, mine works just fine (well...mostly, I kinda dropped it and fucked up my analog nub, but I was thinking about getting a PSP Go after we figure out how to mod that anyway)

I think PSP is better.

That may be, but all around, I think Nintendo is better than Sony.

I have a psp 3000 that can run some homebrew, load psp AND psx isos and load a recovery menu. You don't NEED a pandora battery to mod it either. It all depends on if you smart enough to not upgrade you firmware every five seconds. ;p

Can we get our facts right and re-open the choice of a psp now as not that many people here seem to have had contact with the psp modding scene AT ALL.....

The choice was never closed. Some of said to get PSP, some said don't. Its that simple. :D

well, I for one, would like to state that I am much contact with the PSP modding scene, but iirc, the 3000 needs to run homebrew through a HEN, which is horribly unstable (granted, last time I had to use a hen was DAX's HENC for 2.71, so they may have gotten better)

Sorry about that, I should have said "re-open the choice of a psp3000"

The psp 3000 requires a HEN(Homebrew Enabler) in order to run the custom firmware GEN-A, it's the HEN that is unstable as it uses a tiff exploit which never EVER ALWAYS works(anyone who says otherwise is lying, simple as that). The idea is you try to run the tiff exploit until it finally works and you DON'T turn off your psp otherwise it wipes the memory that the HEN loads off. Same goes for when you boot the CFW(custom firmware), until this bug is sorted out, the HEN loading process itself will never always work properly and HENR3 is being worked on in the meantime.
