But then I'd have to buy a PSPRydian said:Buy a PSP and hack it. You can rip your own UMDs easily by setting the USB drive to the UMD drive (instead of memory stick) in the recovery/VSH menus, or perhaps with the PSP Filer homebrew. Then run ISO tool to decrypt, and play the ISO off your memory stick.Spongeroberto said:PSP would be interesting because not reading from those stupid minidiscs PSPs use would cut loading times drastically.
That's already confirmed.TheNikkoMan said:Also, when looking at the System Menu layout, it looks like(!) you'll be able to use the browser while running software, like games. I'd imagine that using a lot of RAM.
Great news btw
No offense, but it looks like the poster later corrected himself. And there's not "A9" on the front of the chip apparently. The challenge is still on.lolzed said:A quick google comes up with this(linked just the important post)pachura said:Where was the Cortex-A9 thing reported ?Mantis41 said:It was reported at the time that from the markings on the CPU it looked to be a Cortex-A9 Processor - ARM
But wouldn't the (uncertain) 32 mB limit for the browser eliminate any hope for flash, and maybe other cool features?noONE said:That's already confirmed.TheNikkoMan said:Also, when looking at the System Menu layout, it looks like(!) you'll be able to use the browser while running software, like games.

But as you said, that will take alot of RAM, if there's 96mB available to apps and the other supposed 32mB RAM is for OS & the backgrounded application (multitasking) it would be enough, but if it's the other way around and the backgrounded application keeps the 96mB and the new application gets 32mB to play with, that would be too low to work well.
It might work completely different though ofcourseonly time will tell.
Frankly, I'm against Flash. Or at least it should be removable. The already short battery life would take a nosedive.TheNikkoMan said:But wouldn't the (uncertain) 32 mB limit for the browser eliminate any hope for flash, and maybe other cool features?noONE said:That's already confirmed.TheNikkoMan said:Also, when looking at the System Menu layout, it looks like(!) you'll be able to use the browser while running software, like games.

Well, the CPU is a much more important thing here, but yeah, it's a lil' bit too less RAM for flash to work properly too, but i'm sure they've solved it to make it have more than that and that it works in another way.. (anyway, you COULD run the browser all by itself allowing all the 96/128mB RAM to be available) i think the only hope to have flash working properly on the 3DS though would be if they managed to get hardware acceleration out of the DMP GPU.

I wonder how that's possible, RAM being volatile and all...Nollog said:I know, faceface.Darkmystery said:Nollog said:Is that RAM used as storage too though?
No. RAM != storage.
BUT
"RAM" has been used in portable systems for storage.

I do recall the original Xbox having 64MB of ram and pulling off things like Halo 2 and and Half-Life 2. Tho this was because of disk caching, one of the benefits of Carts is a fast read speed. I think we'll see some pretty sexy looking games coming from 128MB of ram.Rydian said:The latest PSP models have 64MB, it's not that much.
