Topic: To DS, or PSP? That, Is The Question...

It's probably the games.
Yeah the PSP has more power under the hood than the DS, but none of that has really mattered outside of the MonsterHunter-verse.

You can talk about devices you may have, but you cannot put links to ROMs or ISOs.
I talk about my softmodded Wii, and I'm admin here.

What exactly is softmodded?

What exactly is softmodded?

I can answer that. Hardmodded is when you need to open your console and put some board inside or cut some cable (varies, Im not a pro too). Softmodded you exploit some bug in the console firmware so you can install homebrews, in Wii its common to install Homebrew Channel so you dont need to exploit it every time, you only need to enter in the channel to install other things, more easy. With that you can install CFW so you can play backuped games and play Wiiware games that you backuped too, play emulators and all sort of homebrews.

That helped?

P.S: If I said something that break the rules sorry and feel free to edit it out

softmodding is what I mentioned... putting custom firmware (cfw) on the psp to allow it to run backup games saved to the internal (pspgo) or memorystick (other psps) and homebrew which is all your emulators and other stuff (quite a bit of other stuff)

In general softmodding is a clean fairly easy way to open up a system to running unsigned (homebrew) code. How to do it and if its even possible vary from system to system. It can also be undone to restore the system to its original state. The easiest comparison to make would be jailbreaking an ipad or iphone. Hardmodding requires changing or adding something physical to the system to bypass a check to allow it to run unsigned code.

You can probably imagine that softmodding is easily the way to go if you have a choice between the two. The psp is incredibly easy to do and literally takes 5min if it has the latest firmware already on it. The DS I dont think anyones figured out a softmod at all its all done with special modded game carts usually imported from asia. I admit I havent kept up with it on the ds side as I havent owned one since the dsFat. And now that Ive mentioned Im sure someone will correct me

Oh ok, I get it, soft as in software and hard as in hardware, duh.
