Hacking Oh Lawdy, got another PSP exploit!

[Kioku]

These exploits might allow unsigned code, but they're pointless imo.... I mean Sony just simply blocks the exploits they're using in just a firmware release and also makes sure that they pull out the game before a lot of people get their hands on the exploitable game.

Well it lets you run PSP homebrew, so it's not entirely pointless. Imagine playing GBA games on that beautiful OLED screen!

Doesn't the emulated PSP environment kinda defeat the purpose of the OLED? ...or am I missing something? Probably the latter.

Uhh...it only has one screen, the OLED. It's not like it can emulate a LCD screen lol.

So.. then playing a PSP game looks pretty nice then? I'm just going off of what I think. I'm not saying I'm right. o.O Just asking questions here.

Yes, everything looks better with it. Screen types can greatly affect the quality of the image, hence why someone said (I think it was prowler) that some PSP game looked so much better because of the screen, and I have to agree.

How much better is the Vita screen as compared to PSP 2000?

Oh. Ok. Then I retract my previous statement. xD

Not sure if mocking me, or completely serious. o.O

Tons.

 

[Schizoanalysis]

No; it's a legit question. I have a PSP 2000 & Go, and I am wondering what the screen is like on the Vita. I have not seen one in the flesh.

 

[Rydian]

How can somebody describe the quality to you?

 

[Schizoanalysis]

"Tons" sufficed.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Well...I could like, throw out a bunch of specifications on the screens of both...but I don't think that'd help much

 

[Un4tural]

Vita has a screen that sort of doesn't have anything wrong with it really... could use a bit more backlight, but screen itself is pretty much flawless

I don't really have any problems with psp1000 screen i got, mostly just the shadowing, it works great and all, just that Vita has a screen way way more clear and colors are much nicer...

 

[Rydian]

Ohhh, I missed the post above that, my bad.

 

[Warlord698]

WOO HOO, hopefully they won't wait too long, I'm looking forward to snagging this

 

[Langin]

I hope it IS Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories or Dissidea Duodecim.

 

[Originality]

I hope I don't miss it - not that I particularly care for PSP homebrew, but extra features for my PSV? Yes please!

 

[Terminator02]

For people talking about PSP emulation on the Vita, the Vita upscales the games to the Vita's resolution in addition to just having a better screen.

 

[Rydian]

Ohshit, that's pretty cool.

EDIT: Wait... upscale, or internal rendering change?

 

[prowler]

Bilinear filtering.

 

[Rydian]

Damn. Was hoping it was internal rendering, but then again that would be an issue for flat-view textures (not sure of the actual term), as in menu icons and shit with pixel text as the scaling isn't 1:2.

 

[Terminator02]

Bilinear filtering.

prowler's right, the Vita has twice the resolution of the PSP, and it can either do bilinear filtering to smooth out the pixels or use what Sony calls "color space", which is supposed to give more accurate yet jaggy imaging.

Edit:
PSP resolution: 480 x 272
Vita resolution: 960 x 544

 

[Rydian]

The thing is if that's applied to the whole image it'll mess with pixel text, I was assuming it was simply rendering at double the size internally which would result in a higher resolution for polygons while still keeping pixel text from getting blurry.
