I haven't gotten around to exploring the multimedia capabilities of my PSP yet. First off, i got it for the games.
But second, the instructions for transferring media are just far too involved. There are a couple of solutions out
there for the media-challenged, and now Mad Catz is getting into the game. The accessories giant is usually first out
of the gate for stuff like this, so I'm not sure what to make of the delayed release. Maybe they did it right? One can
hope. It's going to take a simple software solution to even get me to try the video/music/images thing. I'm too busy
playing games to bother otherwise.
The $30 software will include the following features (from the Mad Catz site):
-
Converts .jpg and .gif format pictures for slideshow playback on the PSP handheld gaming system
-
Allows users to download, convert and copy .MPEG 1 and 2, .avi, .mov, divx, format movies for playback on the PSP handheld gaming system
-
Features a user-friendly, drag and drop interface to manage and back up music, videos, pictures and game saves
-
Searches and transfers media files between PC, memory stick and the GameShark online database
-
Creates MP3 play lists and categorizes music by artist or genre for playback on the PSP
-
Offers the ability to easily transfer archived movies and photos from a PC to the PSP Memory Stick Duo
-
Contains a unique Mcode login system to access content on GameShark.com to prevent piracy
-
Includes an RSS news feed that constantly keeps players current on the latest PSP news
-
Features a capacity bar to show available free space on memory sticks
