Scratch For Psp

Okay, sony probly would not like this, but using Scratch to make psp games would be great and would probably boost PSP sales way past the stupid D.S.i

Re: Scratch For Psp

I don't really think this is practical. For one, as far as I know portable gaming systems like that are a pain to code, so the Scratch team would get a run for their money. And, they'd have to learn that way of programming, which is completely different than that of Squeak or Java. Plus, I don't think it would boost PSP sales.

Re: Scratch For Psp

I've used scratch on my psp before. There is a homebrew psp program that lets you control your conputer with your psp.

You can still do it with PSP...
Anyways, all portable systems are, in my opinion, impractical.
Think of it this way: it would delay the future releases of Scratch.

Re: Scratch For Psp

It is kinda bad on my psp. The control stick is a poor mouse replacement and its harder to see things with the small screen.

Err no, I have a program on my psp that lets me use my PSP as a monitor and a mouse.
