It would be cool to play PSP games on a big television screen. First I heared about the PSPTV. An adaptor which enables PSP gaming on a tv screen with a PS2 dual shock gamepad. But you must open the PSP and exchange the front display for one of the included front displays which come in blue-transparent, silver and black. The PSPTV Hardware is getting attached to the PSP by some flat-ribbon cables. After you installed everything correctly you can put the PSP into the docking station of the PSPTV and play games on your TV using a Dual Shock Controller. here are some pictures: http://www.gamefreax.com/lshop,show...24,9927,,Tshowrub--1103388718.1105792124,.htm today I saw another PSP TV adaptor from Blaze. It's very simple, because it's capturing the image and light, in a similar way a scanner or camera would. It then converts it into a video signal that is sent through video leads going from the adapter to your TV set. Here is the official site: http://www.psptvadaptor.com/index.htm I think the image on the tv screen would be very bad with this scanning method. But maybe I'm wrong. What do you think about it?
From what iv'e heard you DEFINATLY want to go with PSPTV, the Blaze adaptor (and others like it) are complete rubbish.
dont go with anything that ''scan'' the screen. You always have a poor quality image with that. and gets worse when you move the handheld just a bit.
From IGN reguarding PSP2TV: "The output signal arbitrarily drops lines of resolution from the image to upscale it instead of evenly stretching it out, and the end result can be pixellated and not always pretty" "Text is really hard to read because the image isn't smooth, and some pixels are dropped from the image. You can see in sample shots, for example, that the tops and bottoms of the numbers on the clock are just missing -- not just distorted by the difference in video size, but missing." http://gear.ign.com/articles/666/666034p5.html
I looked at the screenshots. that is terrible Does anybody know, if some special PSP units or adaptors from Sony exist which can display the psp games on a tv screen? I have already a wideboy for gba games. there is also a special adaptor for the nintendo ds available (IS-NITRO-VIDEO). Maybe Sony has a similar device for psp games?
There are units that play PSP games on a TV because they used them at the Tokyo Game Show this year. The image isn't full screen though but does look clean. Sort of like a mini wide screen image in the middle of the screen. Actually looks a bit stupid but like I said, at least it was a clean image. Yakumo
Didn´t the dev version of PSP not have an option to play it through TV ? Or something like that ?....
well this is what places like ign use, which is a special adaptor made by sony to capture, however they admit it as well its still not the best to capture with, the thing is you gotta see this stuff on an lcd screen, since capturing shows its flaws regulary as well, im gussing the screen is desinged in a way that dev optimize the way the screen displays that it does not quite look right when directly capture.
IGN doesn't use a "special adapter made by Sony" to capture PSP video. Neither does Gamespot or any other media outlet. Sony only sells the PSP Tool and Test units to developers and does not give them to media. Any direct feed PSP video seen anywhere on the net is either supplied by a developer, captured from a test kit while visiting a developer or simply shot right off the PSP screen in a dark room (which works surprisingly well and is pretty much unnoticeable at streaming video resolutions). If you remember the leaked photos of the tool a few months back, you'll remember that there was a VGA port on the back. VGA-SVideo adapter makes for an easy way to record video. -hl718
hmm, I don't want to do that mod with my PSP. I have a firmware v1.00 unit, it's rare and it should stay in good condition
Sony could well implement this feature in the PS2 or the PS3, seeing how popular it appears to be. They are probably too busy trying to pull an emotion engine on the X360, 'to.
They could? Are you sure? You think they WANT to send a raw videostream over an unsecure usb connection? Well, i guess they could just use the infrared projector to shine the video on to a nearby wall. All they would have to do is phase shift the IR signal up a few nanometers. The only problem is the battery life, you'd only get an hour or two projecting like that. :nod:
