.... Sorry but... Huh?

A wireless link? How could they possibly think of using such an MS centric method of networking???

Errr i'll believe that when i see it.
That would be really cool to play PS3 games on the PSP. Does the PSP have enough power to support that much streaming of content to maintain 30-60fps?
I have wondered if Nintendo may go a route like this... a central hub of a console that had nice LCD display/Controller for output.
Boy things are getting excited! Good time to be a gamer with cash... which I am not!

MS invented or popularized wireless networking?
Anyways, I guess the PS3 emulating PSP games is a nice little enticement to collect PSP games. Or for PSP owners to look at getting the PS3 as well.
As for streaming PS3 games to the PSP, what's the point? You would have to be home right? Where a lot of people would have access to large HDTV displays instead of using a small LCD screen?
Well it's a picture from the patent application 20040266529 which was already picked up in the other thread.
With a hardware AVC decoder, in addition with other processors free from game processing, I think it's easy. It doesn't access UMD but just receives a stream, decodes it, and sends user inputs back.Acert93 said:

Correct. There was a discussion recently about MS Windows Media Center and networking vs. the "CELL World" and this issue was heatly debated and argued. That is what the rolled eyes were for I believe.
Now if we can get Qroach in here to poke the other eye this thread could turn into WWIII <eek!> Maybe Wavey will get a warning for instigating a fight

If the PSP screen is as nice as it appears it could be servicable for multiplayer games. Use it for inventory lists or for picking plays in sports games. It has all the inherant problems of the GCA connection... but it could be put to some good use... maybe. I think being able to play on a small screen like that instead of on a 4 way split in FPS would be great.
Can you explain, because I don't get it, why funneling PS3 games onto a PSP screen is interesting? It seems more like a novelty than anything else. Maybe it's just because I have nice TVs around me, but I just don't see the appeal.Acert93 said:
From the developer point of view, that sounds like a real problem. First, you'll have to cut your control scheme down to fit the PSP, and thus likely rework the game. Second, you have to author lots of stuff for the two resolutions. PS3 games are going to be 720p or 1080i by default, I'd guess. Going to the PSP's screen would make lots of text unreadable.
There are probably more things to worry about than those two. Plugging in the PSP to play your PSP game on a TV screen sounds much more friendly a proposition.

I don't see how you come to that conclusion from the picture above. Besides, the name of the thread itself is even more bizarre.

And grammatically incorrect, as usual.
Besides, if you're at home, i think u'd tend to play games on your big (HDTV if u're lucky and not in Europe) TV rather than on your PSP.
If you're not at home, u have PSP games.

I found this interesting...
"In today's wired world, many users are able to access hot spots free of charge in many locations such as coffee houses, airports, gas stations, and the like. Once the user is close enough to the access point, the user can log into the Internet server 150 and use their previously purchased games, or purchase new games for entertainment. In another embodiment, the remote access user can access their own video games that are stored on their home system, such as the content execution server 102 or a game CD loaded into a game console"
Heres my speculation which is probably totally wrong. The server (PS3) could have a jukebox to store multiple game disks. The mobile device (PSP) would allow games to be executed on the machine at home. The jukebox (which is guess would be an optional PS3 addon) would also accept other media such as movies and music CDs. Want to see that DVD movie you didnt have time to see last night? No problem, just leave it in the PS3 jukebox and the PS3 miracle engine will re-encode the DVD on the fly to stream it over to your PSP
As mentioned in the patent, the mobile device generates video, audio and control data while the base server executes the game. Interactivity happens due to exchanging control data between PSP and PS3. Apparently, lag is minimised by a "buffer" on the PSP.
The emulation part is strange. What will be emulated, PS1 and PS2 games? Surely they would need to be rewritten to work over a wireless network? I guess emulating "old" games would also cut into PSP UMD revenues.
