Samsung Galaxy S Is A Beast, Runs Quake 3 Perfectly - Android Police (blog)

Posted: 03 Jul 2010 12:13 PM PDT

So, by now, you've probably already heard that the Samsung Galaxy S is a beast at gaming – it can produce a staggering 90 million triangles per second compared to the Nexus One's 22 million. But that is just one spec, and real world tests are what most people care about. Quake 3 has now been ported to both devices, and it acts as a great test of each device's gaming capabilities.

That's the Nexus One running Quake 3. It runs quite smoothly, without any hiccups. You may be wondering why you would need a more powerful device. Take a look at this video.

In this test, the Samsung Galaxy S destroys the Nexus One. Like GeekWord says, it's "as if it was made for the Super AMOLED handset." Clearly, the numbers are right – this is best Android device for gaming. If Quake 3 isn't your thing, keep in mind that the amount of high quality 3D games in the Android Market is constantly growing. Personally, I can't wait for the day a PlayStation emulator hits the Market. The day I play Final Fantasy VII on my phone is the day we enter the future.

PSP Firmware v6.30 Adds Feature From Homebrew Community - PSPworld

PSP Firmware v6.30 Adds Feature From Homebrew Community

If you've got a lot of downloaded games on your PSP, sorting through them all can be rather annoying. Users of custom firmware on Sony's PSP have long had the ability to sort their games into sub-categories in the GAME folder using the gamescategories.prx file. Now, thanks to Sony's latest update, official users will also be able to group games together in the XMB. Hackers have derided the recent update as yet another example of Sony lifting ideas from the homebrew community, but if it improves functionality of the system, we're all for it.

The other juicy feature discovered in the new firmware update are two folders for NEO Geo and Turbo Grafx 16 games. We've known that Japanese PSPs would soon support these retro consoles for a while, but it is nice to see the feature coming to America. And of course, this is yet another area in which Sony is still playing catch-up to custom firmware hackers, who have been able to access 16-bit emulators for a long time.

Finally, the firmware update includes support for Playstation Plus, Sony's new paid subscription service that gives users access to free downloadable content every month.

Features in PSP Firmware Version 6.30

* Games can now be grouped and displayed in folders based on format under [Game].
* Support for emulation of retro game titles from NEO Geo and Turbo Grafx 16 consoles.
* Support for PlayStation Plus subscription content.
* Closes exploit in Patapon 2 Demo Save Data.
