[Mega Man Model UX]

Just out of curiosity, which of the portables do you like the most? If I had to choose, I'd definitely go for the NDS. While I'm mostly used to the traditional gameplay (buttons, D-Pad) the touch screen and the microphone add much more variability, making the games much more interactive.

both!

While they both have their strong points, I'd have to say DS overall. The DS game library is so much more vast than the PSP's, yet the PSP's graphics are far better than the DS.

Nintendo DS. Not only because I would never even think of getting a PSP (I'm a Nintendo fanboy), but because the DS is perfectly suited for a new Megaman X game. It would do the best job at recreating the SNES MMX feel. Plus I'm most comfortable with MMZX controls.

I go for DS because I dont have a PSP

[Rayl]

Having played games on both for an extended period of time i have to say that the games on the DS are of far better quality then games on the PSP.

That and the DS doesn't break easily unlike the PSP i've had experience with >_>;

I prefer PSP

[Terminus]

I'll go ahead and say both. They both have good points and bad points.

[PressStart]

I own both, and I have to hand it to the DS. Chances are if the PSP had taken off better, I'd be saying it was superior, but DS has a lot more game publishers backing it, theres a lot more units out there to play multiplayer games with, and its rapidly expanding while the PSP is just hanging on (Monster Hunter sure has helped it out lately though).

The DS, while not boasting as good graphics, does have touch screen features which allowed for a lot of new types of games to be made, and nicely folds up like the GBASP to avoid screen damage (the PSP could definitely have used a cover flap to help it out in this area). If I had to award the PSP something though, MegaMan Powered Up is a hell of a game!

I have a DS Lite, but I would have been happy with a PSP just as much. (A little more trouble modding though.)
So I voted both, cause they're both just as good as the other.

[Shadowii2]

Strong points are that PSP comes with internet browser, better graphics and you can store music inside it.

But I still prefer NDS as it has a lot more games that are worth getting.
For PSP I would only get the Mega Man games and Rachet & Clank: Size Matters (if that was the one for PSP?), that would be about it.

[Rad Lionheart]

I can have music, movies, web browsing and Linux on my DS.

That's quite a modded one it seems.
I can't do anykind of modding so yeah, I suck at that part.

Pics by any chance?
(Sorry, this is little offtopic, but I'm just curious)

Chances are he has it all via a flashcart, with various software. Which is fortunate since its basically as good as a PSP memory stick; no need for modding and can be about the same price.

I don't do any of that stuff on my PSP or DS though; I just use an MP3 player for music and otherwise just play games.

[Terminus]

It is just a custom programmed Flash Cart. You can make them.

Yeah, I didn't mod at all.
It's a Slot 1 and Slot 2 cart.

Ah, I see. I have heard quite lot of stuff about modding Wii and DS so I naturally thought you made some hardware changes inside the DS.

How/where could I even get those things by the way?

[Terminus]

They are purchasable. Mostly through the internet. Just look around. if anything, buy an empty flash cart and program in what you want.

[Rad Lionheart]

There are many different brands, and many different styles to them.
I got the Cyclo DS Evolution, it's the biggest, most expensive one, with frequent updates, and an 8GB MicroSD card.
Then to play GBA games via it, I had to get a Slot 2 card, which was the EZ Flash 3-in-1. (Which also adds rumble, and a RAM upgrade so you can use Opera web browser, or LinuxDS.)

But yes, you can just look around online, via mod stores and such.
eBay sells the MicroSD cards, since they're originally for Cell Phones or something.
