PS3 gets closer to PSP, while PSP emulates PS1
A new update for Japanese PlayStation Portables (PSP) allows the portable gaming platform to work more closely with the recently released PlayStation 3 next-generation console.
The update (version 3.01) allows PSP users to view and listen to content stored on their PS3 via a wireless connection.
PSP users, can for example, play content music stored on a memory stick through the PSP’s MP3 player. The update also features an improved RSS reader and better support for the optional camera accessory.
And also in Japan, a selection of PS1 games are getting a new lease of life by being available for PSP through an online download service. The games are:
- Arc The Lad
- Biohazard Director’s Cut (Resident Evil Director’s Cut)
- Bishi Bashi Special
- Jumping Flash
- Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol. 1
- Konami Antiques MSX Collection Vol. 2
- Minna no Golf 2 (Hot Shots Golf 2)
- Silent Bomber
- Tekken 2
Apparently you need a Japanese credit card to access these games, so it will be interesting to see whether this download service makes it to the US. Not only would it allow a new generation of PSP gamers to enjoy the classics, but it would allow older gamers to reminisce the good old days.
