Here are my predictions:

PS3 will end up beating Xbox 360 because of A. Xbox360's name (it really makes no sense, and consumers will notice that) and B. the PS3 is more powerful. Combine this with the games for PS3 and you have an answer. I believe the only reason Xbox was up with PS2 was because ...

I think I'm finally starting to understand Nintendo's strategy... this device is perfect for portable gaming, it's so small you can literally take it out of your pocket and play, fairly inconspicuously. The SP is small but I think the problem is that you see lots of little kids running around w/ SPs ...

Hey GameIver, regarding your post on that news link, you have to remember that it has been almost 4 years since the GC was released so a portabilization by Nintendo is not a far stretch. Sega made the Nomad, and Sony the PSP so it is possible to develop the technology to reduce the size of ...

Video games are either truly unique or derivative. As the years pass, there are more and more derivative and less and less unique. That's not necessarily bad; all of the mario games are derived from SMB1, down to the "go through levels, save the princess". But there are SO MANY derivatives nowadays ...

Believe me, 5" is plenty big enough, as is 4". GBA is only 2.5" or so and that's fine for most games. A sprite would be 16pixels/256pixels per line * 4" = 0.25", which is not all that small. I'll take a picture with my SNESp sometime to show something like Final Fantasy 4, once I get more of it ...

Definitely a PSOne screen... think PsP

I think we're forgetting...

Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Earthbound
Secret of Mana
Lufia II
and a rarity but a good one: Ogre Battle

Has no one mentioned Super Mario Kart??

And I'm getting Chrono Trigger in the mail next week

You might want to check gogamer.com. If you're comfortable with buying/trading from people online, the 1up.com and ign.com boards have a pretty nice Trading section.

I went to Radioshack this weekend to pick up SNESp parts... and had to go to another afterwards b/c they only had two 220uF capacitors in stock. Yeesh.

BTW, my dad used to work there when he was in college and he has never had anything good to say about the place (especially their low wages). So I ...

Hey all,

I was going to order some tactile switches from Digikey and I found out there is a lead time of 1 month :( Is there anywhere else to get these, am I doing something wrong on Digikey that is prompting the lead time, or should I just suck it up?

Digikey tact switch part #: EG2495-ND (I was ...

Thanks!

What do you mean by mod? You can get video and audio signals from the SNES directly and use those directly on the screen board, no problemo.

The hard part is that there are so many connections to the cartridge slot and that soldering wires to the small spots is difficult. I have a version 1 and the cartridge slot actually is removable so I think I'm going to try to move the slot by soldering wires between it and the connector on the ...

You might want to consider bumping up the graphics card as well if you want to play anything like Unreal Tournament 2003. I know, I had a 7500 for a couple years. Check out: http://labs.anandtech.com/search.php?q=radeon+9200 . Here it says that you can get a Radeon 9200SE 128MB for $45 shipped. 9200 ...

Hey Bicostp, if/when you find RCA input/output plugs, can you let me know where you found them? I'm looking for some as well (preferably red, white, and yellow colored bands, like the real deal)

Good luck w/ the PSoneP
