I found this while browsing in N4G:

In-game Kurosumediaba

One new PSP software feature touted by Sony is the ability to bring up the XMB whilst in-game. On current PSPs when you press the

I like ham.

Oh, and sounds nifty... but not overly. They should be bringing more to the table... like another joystick. Or touchy screen. Or... anything besides more advanced game suspension...

I'll definitely use it. Sounds like a fantastic thing to add.

 

[EVANGELION]

I think it will be wise to have.. Anyways, I hope 30000 has it as well.

Cool but...wonder how this will feel in your hands?

 

[Adiuvo]

Supposedly the same, according to the people who have used it.

I might buy this puppy. I like the new analog control, it's in the middle, easier to reach (I hope), reminds me of Dualshock controller.
Plus it's not as long as my PSP 3000, easier to hold and carry.

I heard the battery is embedded though.

I already decided I was getting the PSPgo due to it's size (i prefer small things I can carry with no problems) so another small feature is always nice.

@Mature: yes, the battery is embedded

I think the feature would need hardware acceleration, like an additional flash partition for the savestates or something.

I doubt the savestate files would be that big. The file would probably be encrypted, too.

 

[Sliderkk]

Yeah, but they wouldn't put it on the flashstorage or ms0 because then people would be passing around savestates which could be a possible security threadt and I doubt they would put it in ram because it would lag like hell. And yes the savestates could be big up to 32Mb

 

[Adiuvo]

Why would it lag if it was in RAM? RAM is faster than a memory card.

 

[xploren]

Wait, the PSPgo does have USB, right? If so, does it connect the memory stick or the flash storage to the PC? Because I doubt Sony would allow access to the flash storage.

 

[KezraPlanes]

Of course it has USB But I think the only access you'll have is to the built-in storage

So to put content on the M2, you'll need to do it with an external card reader or something, I presume?
