What is a port?

I am interested in Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and Star Ocean Second evolution, and both are called a port? Is it the proper way of saying a remake? As in they are the same games as the ones made for the PS but updated and made for the PSP?

Same game as the orginals, except there may be some added features or graphics updated. Yet all the original content is in tact, and is the focus. paradigm68

Thanks a ton! ANy good ones you recommend?

Try Persona 3 Portable and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness for sure. Both ports of PS2 games and some of my favourite games on PSP.

Ports aren't always updated in anyway....most times they are exactly like the original just moved to a different gaming system.

A port is a way of describing possible connections. For example, a 5-port network switch can handle up to 5 concurrent connections (such as computers, WAPs, etc.) a 16-port digital station card can handle up to 16 digital stations (phones usually, but depending on the system, it can be paging ports, etc.) A 4-port voicemail can handle up to 4 concurrent connections to the voicemail (as in 4 stations can access it simultaneously). A 4 port line card can take 4 phone lines (though whether they are ground start or loop start depends on the card, and few lines are ground start anymore anyways). Oh wait.... Sorry wrong port... Well quit looking at me like that, Next time be more specific!jordonj

Sorry :P But how can I be specific about a word I was unsure about :P
