Your right.... putting a small joystick on a handheld is impossible, I forgot.
God damn are you trying hard to shoot this idea down....

Why would you want to play current gen games on a handheld?
It's bad enough trying to read the stuff in SD, would be even wors on a 3 inch screen.

This will be just as succesful as the N-gage
This thread is by and about people who want a device capable of playing all their older games on one portable hand held portable machine.Miggle wrote:

Regardless of the fact that you don't like it many people do. My idea was basicly the exact same as the device in the article, however it offered a way to circumvent copywrite laws and licensing fees to keep cost down and make its production and actual possibility.
You obviously just want to play on your laptop, ok fine no one has a problem with that... But others would like a hand held device.
Look at all the people who patch their PSP's back to old firmware, and look for ways to hack their DS or PSP to run emulators... There is obviously a demand for it, you do not represent the entire market.
No, this thread was made by someone who found a link they thought was worth posting. This thread is about the console.VicktorVauhn wrote:

This has nothing to do with older games, though they are included. It is about all console games, past and present.
About this market for emulators... they're free, already available in handheld form, and are supported by a community. Oh, and they are inherently illegal.
What you want is a device to circumvent copyright laws by doing something that is already established as illegal, but saying "the community did it, and we had no control."
That didn't work for any of the P2P networks in the past, and they didn't even profit off of it! Just try and imagine the metric shit tons of legal notices arriving in the mail every day for a company that dared try to sell anything.
Speaking of which, there are a good number of handheld devices that run a version of Windows, some being straight and simple XP. They've already been set up to do the exact same thing you want.
And you want to pay someone for a blatantly illegal device when the software is free, albeit just as illegal but not necessarily cut and dry.

And the product linked to is a hand held, it says "console" but read the links, they talk about it being battery powered, and the pictures show a device similar looking to a DS. I am not saying make put "here is how to install emulators" in the manual, just don't focus on preventing people from hacking it.
They posted the link because they were interested in the idea. Other then Miggle and Co. who were against the idea of any handheld in the first place the majority of the people in this thread were intersted in it.
How many hand held gaming devices run versions of windows?
Yes, I looked at the link even though the picture makes it very obvious. Yes, this device is a handheld. Now that we've established that for the unnecessaryth time, where's the point?VicktorVauhn wrote:

Hand held gaming devices don't run windows because hand held gaming devices don't want emulators ran on them because the makers of the hand held gaming devices want people who buy the hand held gaming devices to buy their hand held games. 'right?
It's not that your theoretical device would instruct the installation of emulators, no, that would be just stupid. It's the insinuation that the whole point of this thing is to run games, as indicated from it's hand-held game system like controls. First off, I dare you to find a user-friendly way of text input or control of a conventional OS. Forgetting the conventional OS, emulators would have to be designed specifically for this handheld and OS. Yet again, the legal fallacy is glaring.
Take a look at these if you're seriously interested in a sub-laptop size device that can run your emulators. One and two. They can also do a whole lot more too, as they run windows. Perhaps with some ninja-ing you can get it to install XP from a USB drive.
No one in here is against the idea of a hand held we-run-all-console-games device. I would love something to overthrow MS, Sony and Nintendo. We just recognize that it's impossible, from a legal standpoint and a hardware performance gap. You're not going to run Gears of War on a device you can run around with like a PSP.
