PSP Wallpaper :o
« on: September 05, 2007, 03:06:45 PM »
I ended up buying a PSP a couple of months ago and came to the realization that there aren't a whole lot of good, usable backgrounds available.  Sure, there are 480x272 wallpapers out there, but oftentimes they either suck or clash with the white menu text (the color of which cannot be changed...naturally).

Naturally, I started up Photoshop and got to work.

So far, I have two of them done; more will probably come as I get bored (I'll update this thread and shit).

I'm going to keep an archive of them here: http://www.spectere.net/psp/wallpaper/ but here's the two that I have finished as I type this (both are characters in the Sonic universe...woo):

Shadow:
Knuckles:

They look a mite muted but that's intentional.  The XMB is quite usable with both pictures, which is the main design goal.

For the record, the amount of work that I do on an average piece is generally cropping out the character, photoshopping a background behind him/her, and testing it on the system to be sure that everything is still readable.  Not hard and I fail to see why so many people are apparently incapable of doing it. :P

It's called Lazy. Lots of people fall under that category.
Stupid covers the rest.
This is going in my sig. :)

SNES emulation doesn't run so well on it, in my experience.  The three games that I really want to play (Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG, and Earthbound) don't run at full framerate, SMRPG being the worst of the lot by far.  This is using what I believe is the latest version of SNES9x TTL.

Really? I've played Starfox 64 on my friends PSP, and IIRC it ran fine.

I'm just a ZSNES fanboy, so ignore all my rants about ZSNES.

Um...ZSNES is written in x86 assembly.  It is NOT going to run on a PSP.  Ever. :/

Last I checked, wasn't ZSNES being rewritten in something else?

I glanced at the source and most of the entire emulation core and the graphics scalers are all written in ASM.

They'd pretty much have to rewrite everything.

I know, but that's the exact reason I like ZSNES, lol. It runs like a charm.

But bringing it up in a PSP thread is kind of moot, wouldn't you agree?

I was more referring to the emulation aspect...
And it was more or less for the purpose of making fun of Snes9x...
