We're puzzled and confused... How can a console that's at least ten times less powerful than the acclaimed PSP cope with Windows Vista's requirements?
It seems that you can find a SNES running a version of Windows Vista at a Tokyo game shop. Yeah, probably next to a GameBoy running Symbian and a PS3 ... just running.
If the story's for real, we can suppose that a computer freak dismembered some super mini-PC and "stuffed" its components into the good old SNES case. What about the graphics card? What about the 1 or 2GB of RAM needed to run such a powerful OS? In this day and age, you'd need at least a PS3 for such a strange experiment and still chances are you'll destroy your precious console.
Sometimes, even the geekiest gamers and software freaks must know where to draw the line... I recently saw dozens of PSP users bricking their consoles while trying to run Windows XP or Vista on their consoles. There's even a video here below showing you how you can run an OS from Sony's portable wonder, but still I'm puzzled by the fact that people actually believe that such crazy "ports" are possible...
Of all the consoles in the world, why would anyone pick the SNES for a Windows Vista-based experiment? Just let me know when a REAL method to run a decent OS on a console surfaces and I'll be the first to give credit to those hard-working computer geeks trying to turn our gaming devices intro mini computers. If they make it, I wonder if we will ever cope with the lack of a keyboard or a mouse...
Here's the so-called Vista-running PSP, in fact a portal that mimes the whole process of porting the OS to the console. Enjoy the video!
this is a kool video! but it just maybe a psp running linux with a vista skin
Totally explainable, and it's obviously not a different OS

you'll notice the keyboard that appears is actually the psp keyboard. the "start menu"
looks nothing like the vista one, the start button is missing the top, there is no
transparency. i think you'll find that it's simply a well made homebrew application that
people use to trick the lesser knowing people with.
Errrr yawn

this is hardly something new. there are lots of portals like this. its just a few html
pages with flash apps run on the psp's internet browser. its just an offline website
basically.

"i recently saw dozens of psp users bricking their consoles while trying to run windows
xp or vista on their consoles." some people are stupid enough to do anything to run
something cool on the psp...anything that is not a plugin or custom firmware by m33 and
does something with the flash, i do not screw with. also, i watched a tut and it
says do at your own risk...wtf?? if its a portal, it will do jack shit to the psp in
anyway. unless its screwing with the flash...which it shouldn't since its the browser.
sorry for double post...
By pspfanboi on 16.08.2007 - 21:08
sorry, but i just wanted to clear this up just in case someone is confused... by
flash i dont mean flash player.
