Sell crack.

Exactly, anyways, Ohk Has anyone else got Destruction Derby 2 on there PSP, because I just downloaded it and it shows up and everything but every time I try to play it says "game couldn't start, data corrupt" But no one else seems to have any problems with it, I'm running 3.40-OE-A.

Great, now all i have to do is find someone selling a PSP for cheap! (I do have the money, but I think my parents are getting pissed at my videogames budget)

Do what I do with my girlfriend, and just hide them!  Nobody can get mad at you for ridiculous video game purchases that you keep hidden.

Or just buy less games and save your money?

Alright so I'm gonna be giving this custom firmware thing a try. I'll be taking my little brothers PSP and hope that it's not 3.10 or higher. He hasn't messed with it in months so it should be fine.

Should I still follow skauert's instructions even though they're a couple months old or find some better ones?

Now its time for me to watch the next Bleach episode.

This guide right?

Oh, and if the firmware is 2.81 or 3.0/3.03, then the only way to downgrade is to find an unpatched version of GTA: Liberty City Stories right?

Yup, that guide's instructions are pretty well laid out and easy to follow.

And correct, if you've got a PSP that is 2.81-3.03 you'll need an unpatched version of GTA:LCS in order to be able to downgrade to 1.50

Alright so I found a GTA game that I got at Blockbuster. I've got the 3.40oe firmware on it as well. Haha, it wasn't as hard as I thought.
SNES and GBA games run just about perfect. When I run some SNES games though, when I go into the menu of Chrono Trigger, it will lag a little. Any ideas on why this is?

Also, can somebody PM me the link to where they get their playstation iso's?
Argh, I'm tired so I typed this really fast....

I'd like a PM to some ISO's as well, please.

@Hunter - 430megs, is that after you extracted the download or what?

I PMed the both of you.

Thanks for the links guys.
Oh, I've also already changed my boot screen, and my gameboot thanks to some tutorials at the website. I'm learning a lot more about this every day.

By the way, is there a difference between compressed PS1 games and just the ISO? Most games are about 400MB but when they're compressed they seem to be about 50-150MB. I've heard some say that they just took out certain cutscenes and other things to cut them down. So my question is, should I stay with using ISO's or use compressed games? I'm just wondering because I don't have that much space on my PSP left.

Most games you download that will work on the PSP aren't always 400+ megs, Unless your looking at Square Games and most RPGs, I mean, Ridge Racer 4 is only 9 megs compressed with nothing ripped but when you extract it, it ends up being 700 megs!!! Id say If you want to be able to play our games on the go stick with the psp, but if you just like to play it at home on a rainy day or whatever, stick to ISOS.

ANYWAYS I was wondering, How do you change the Icons and Background pics, cause I just wanna change a few oh and what are the sizes for the Icons And Backgrounds?

This is because PSX games use a special filesystem structure, so the disks are often long strings of blank data that is easily compressed out.  Just in case anyone was curious.

Most of the PSX->PSP converters have options to do this.
Backgrounds -> 480 x 272
Icons -> 144 x 80

Amazing! This is excellent news as now everyone with a PSP will be able to downgrade in the near future. Lumines is also a must-buy game, and it's relatively cheap at the moment, so it's a win-win situation.

Looks like Lumines has jumped up 14,600% in Amazon sales. Word sure gets around quickly. 

I feel really bad for the people who made Lumines and all these games with exploits, though, because people aren't buying their games because THEY ARE GOOD GAMES or THEY WANT TO PLAY THEM, they're buying them to exploit them and hack their PSPs. I guess it is okay because they are making money or whatever, but I guess it sort of encourages these people to make more games that would otherwise not be bought.

Looks like my friend is in luck.
By the way, you guys can import that Final Fantasy Anniversary game(I think it's already out here). I've already got the second one, and it's not supposed to be out here in America until late July. It's really not worth it though unless you haven't beaten them before.

Oh, and since you were on the subject of icons and backgrounds Eijin, I've got a cool site with a bunch of nice ones for your PSX games.
