Nintendo’s opinion on the next console

I have to tell this is one of the most straightforward and logical explanation that I’ve ever heard on the topic of “when the next generation of console gaming gears will appear”. There’s really no need to start a new generation - especially when the current one is still more than capable.

PSP Slim AV (composite) Cable

I already had a component to VGA signal converter with which I could have connected it to a computer monitor with a VGA input line - if I had a component PSP cable (which I did not, the picture above depicts the composite one. I know it’s easy to mix up “component” and “composite” though since they are just too similar words…). So just when I was thinking on getting a new cable for it, I run into a nice little program for the PSP, called “FuSa”. › Continue reading
