June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices. Allowing installation on the portable of physical games, and reducing the cost of the PS6 by making the Blu-ray an accessory (like the PS5 Slim).  I prefer the idea of a dedicated dock on the PS6 that connects the next Portable to your entire PSN library, and they'd better make it work as an extra controller, but I'm sure there are practical benefits to the extra drive.   That should also boost sales of PS4 and PS5 physical games, especially on the second-hand market, as folk...

Flycast brings Dreamcast gaming to the Vita

Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, House of the Dead 2, Metropolis Street Racer, NBA 2K, Tomb Raider Revelations and so much more, all great gaming memories that get another shot on the go. 


Having played the Android port of Crazy Taxi and a bunch of similar era games, there was always hope that the Vita could do better, and the handheld proves up to the task with a fresh release of the popular Flycast emulator. Plenty of video examples show games playing smoothly (25-26fps), but some games struggle. Still, this is yet another step in the Vita's rise to emulator domination. 

Thanks to Rinnegatamante & Bythos for their efforts. Note that a few people with too many plug-ins are reporting trouble getting it to run! 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
