PSP
PSP is highly regarded as the ultimate piggy platform IF you're totally not into using MIDI. It's sleep mode is a very nice feature and also when the battery "dies" it still actually has a bit of juice in it so you don't have to worry about losing work that way. They're well-built, have a really nice screen and their sound output is clean. I've never actually used one extensively, so I can's speak on the cons other than they're a bit more expensive.

Dingoo
The dingoo is my personal fave because I'm more of an on-the-go pigger with a tight budget. It's really really small and the battery lasts an insanely long time. I have mine set to go straight to piggy when dingux loads, so from power off to piggy is literally 4 seconds. Sound output is OK, I've never directly compared but I've heard an entire set of piggy music via dingoo thru a club PA and it sounded excellent. I recently dropped mine on the face and cracked the screen, but got a replacement from deal extreme for $17. Plan on doing that today, so I'll let you know how that goes. The only real cons are that with the small size, the screen is a bit harder to see and that the shoulder buttons aren't as comfortable. Neither of those 2 things have ever bothered me, but some people have mentioned those aspects.

gp2x
The gp2x has the option of MIDI out using this: http://www.firestarter-music.de/gp2x/ Also, the gp2x's headphone out boosts bass. Sometimes that is a good thing, sometimes it sounds too muddy. It depends on the song. Cons: the gp2x take a long time to boot up and eats AA batteries really quickly. It's kinda bulky and they're getting harder to find.

Matt, I'd recommend trying the dingoo. It's so small that I sometimes think I've forgotten it because I can't feel it's in my pocket. You've already got a PSP so I say go for variety!

If you're playing a show with other chip musicians and your cable is fucked or at home, you have a MUCH better chance of getting a 1/8" cable from one of them.

I think it should have a meaningful name, rather than be just a bad pun.

I never render on the PSP itself - I'm not sure if the processor / write speed on the memory stick is good enough to really handle it. If I'm rendering, I always do it on the Mac...

Yeah render was kinda intended for Mac/Linux/Win builds, but I definitely have rendered a fairly simple song on the gp2x. Not recommended but doable! Good to hear this works on the PSP tho. Eff a computer!

As long as we're going down that route,
Pulse-NES, or P-NES. (har har)

PNES is the winner.

"PULS8" ?
@infradead: hmmm, it is getting a little desperate....

That's the name of a really lamer local cover band.

Treehorn is pretty ace. And as if there aren't enough Lebowski suggestions: The Ringer. Not very googlable though.

Acctually, I just realised how dumb famipulse sounds. totally forgot about famitracker. Other ideas from #hexawe
Nihiltracker
Logjammer
Marmottracker
Nixontracker
Little Nes Over Achiever or LNOA

I would also like to add that shortening my previous suggestion of Bunnytracker/DaFino to DFNO would work well as a sibling to NTRQ!
