Support NeoGAF

For me, one the best features on Xbox is the custom soundtrack feature, most of the time it affects the way i play (racing games especially)

Anyone know if devs will be intruducing Custom Soundtracks? Shouldnt be too hard to implement...a game like Burnout PSP could possibly be ruined by its soundtrack. Gah, EA tracks part 2 ;_;

From what I've heard, custom soundtracks are possible, but we're unlikely to see them for a bit. I'm not too familiar with the specifics of it, but basically, Sony hasn't provided developers with an in-game .mp3 decoder, so they would either have to write their own or license one. Additionally, this would likely eat into the processing power and I don't know how feasible it would be to try to use the media processor for .mp3 decoding. Hopefully someone with more expertise can weigh in and explain further, but in time, hopefully, we'll see custom soundtracks....just not now

That memory stick provides a lot of pontential. Now it's up to developers to figure out exactly how they're going to use it.

Sony announced that their Formula One game will be able to use custom soundtracks.

Thanks guys.

completely forgot about music possibly draining PSPs battery. Formula one having the option to use custom soundtracks brings some relief though.
