Sony Presentation Reveals Further PSP Details

Posted by simoniker on Sunday December 7, 2003 @01:09PM from the lecture-notes-plus-plus dept.

Thanks to PSPInsider for pointing to a Sony Technology Group information page, where they've recently posted the slides for a presentation on developing for the Sony PSP (PDF) given at the Australian Game Developers Conference last month. The slides re-iterate Sony's claim that the recently announced PSP will be "the Walkman of the 21st Century", and note the UMD optical disc format is "cheaper and faster to manufacturer than ROM", and thus "publisher-friendly". PSPInsider has extracted several of the more interesting slides, including an example of the hardware-assisted surface tessellation the handheld will be capable of, and pictures of the PSP emulator/debugger alongside some sample code.

CRTs are dead, and the broadcast divison is now making HDTV equipment; meanwhile Sony have the video game market almost entirely sewn up. It's hardly doom and gloom. You must work for Nintendo.
