Title: PSP Slim on TV
Post by: jman00 on November 27, 2007, 11:32:18 pm
Okay, I feel like a fuckin' idiot for asking this. But for the PSP Slim (which I bought, my old one was getting fucked up, probably overused it. XD) Do you play on the TV thing with the PS3? Or is there another way to do that... I'm oblivious to these sort of things... soooo yeah.

Its a regular PSP, but to play on the TV, you need a video cable. I suggest taking it to dicksmith or something and ask them for the cable that fits there. (It's next to the headphone jack)

The cable should have came with the PSP.
You don't need the PS3, just connect the cable to your TV and there's an option on your PSP to set the output to the TV.

I'm pretty sure it has to be a PSP slim, Aten. o.o (Though I could be wrong!)

Anyway, yeah, my brother's done this.
The output isn't that spectacular, seeming as it adds borders on every side for god knows whatever reason. Crisis Core looked nice enough though.

No cable comes for it nevermind.
It does suck that there are huge black borders around the TV though. I was hoping we could play all of our nice PSP games/Roms in all of their glory.

It is a psp slim Christo ^_^ but the manual says "tv cable, not supplied"  :shrug:

The borders dont appear on a LCD tv or a plasma tv

Now that I know isn't true. I've looked at youtube videos and even people on some forums say that it has the huge borders. They're not there while browsing through the XMB, but once you get into a game they show up.
I wonder why it's like that. =/

It's probably because the resolution of the PSP isn't a factor of the resolution of HD.  I'm sure that you could use your HD TV's zoom settings to get it to fill the entire screen though.
