Umm, the PS1 CPU was a 33mhz MIPS R3000. The PSP is a 333mhz MIPS R4000.

The iphone (original and 3g) has an ARM11 CPU clocked at 412mhz, the 3GS has a faster Cortex A9 CPU (still ARM11) at ~600mhz.

Can you spot the difference? Hint: It's a lot simpler to execute MIPS code on a MIPS cpu. Show me a non-MIPS cpu in the 300-400mhz range that can do full-speed PS1 emulation, and _I'll_ be impressed.

As far as the better performance on the 3GS, I'm guessing a lot of it is the 50% CPU speed increase, but also the signifcantly more advanced GPU pipeline that can take some of the heat off the CPU.

Hey, I'm as big an apple fan as the next guy (my home laptop and desktop machines are macs, I use an iphone, and I'm even shopping for a mac mini for my son's big christmas present) but I'll be damned if this project doesn't scream "Netbook".

An Acer Aspire One or something similar (9" display, integrated webcam, speakers, sub 3lbs) would be the perfect brains for this unit. Toss in an arduino to control the servos and you could built the whole deal for under $500. The Mac mini is going to be more expensive, heavier, require external speakers, display, and webcam.

You can even put OS X on the Aspire One if that's an issue, but all the tools needed are pretty much cross platform anyway, I'd venture to say this could be executed just as well on linux or windows.

That being said, kudos to the people who built this. It IS a nice, budget implementation. I just can't help thinking how it could be streamlined even further without making any significant sacrifices to the functionality.

They're finally getting around to fixing the numbering scheme...

That robot in the background looks a lot like the Fruit Fucker...

And what in the world does mega man need with a pistol?

first impression: it's like we're living in the future!
second take: I would NEVER be seen with that.

Now, let's get some more resolution/brightness out of very small projectors, maybe make it wireless, in something about the size of the Wii... now we're talkin

that should have been "combative manner"

#19, ever think of hitting the "open" button while the disc is reading??? oh yeah...

This has been debunked and is easily proven as such. Trying to claim otherwise, especially in such a combative nature, makes you look like an assclown.

#6 - Think bigger.

I think the slots are there to allow you to clip the remote onto the back for a new control style that will be utilized in current-gen games. *click* Your classic controller is now a sixaxis.

Andazeus:

You realize that you just made a RIDICULOUS amount of sense?

My gut says you just nailed a "big january announcement". You say you heard this somewhere.. Got a link?

read more carefully before you start issuing corrections for people, yes?
