Has anybody else had trouble running the new Dungeon Maker? I've acquired two version and both didn't work.

You need at least firmware 3.4 to run Dungeon Maker. You'll also need to set the psp to play games at 333mHz if you havn't already.

Got a weird problem with Chrono Cross, I have 3.40 OE-A firmware and I can play the game until the first boss at the Lizard North place and I'm fighting the boss and the game just freezes, also Sometimes it just has this huge ringing sound if I try to play it sometimes, so I used the popstation thing to use it on a different firmware and so far it cant even play it on any of them except "Original with flash, currently playing it now with it and its working but Ill edit this post if it freezes again. Yeah It froze again but during a normal battle this time.

Man you end up playing Dungeon Maker for a lot longer than 10-15 hours (if you like the genre). It took me like 4 hours just to get the first floor 100%ed.

To support small publishers like XSeed that bring great game like Shadow Hearts, Wild Arms 4 & 5, Brave Story PSP, etc. stateside so you can be able to get the game in the first place.

You should support small publishers like XSeed by buying games that are actually good, rather than throwing your money at obscure crap that they port over to make a quick buck off of people who consider it a noble persuit!

I really wish I could hack my PSP.  ​  I was pretty much NO WAY DUDES for a long time, and everyone is like LOL SOMEDAY YOU'LL WANT TO DO IT, and here I am, checking ebay every couple of days to see if there's a copy of Lumines for less than $60!  I'm perfectly happy with the awesome PSP games coming out, but some of those features, like the fourth brightness setting on battery power and loading from memory stick, sound way too awesome.  Of course, I'd also want to put Dragon Warrior 7 on it, because I have a bizarre love affair with that game.

I absolutely LOVE Brave Story. The game is awesome, and looks almost as good as a PS2 game.
What firmware do you have again, Mala?

By the way guys, this is the biggest update EVER!!

It's Pandora's battery. Basically, you can make your own unbricker battery. Of course this works on any firmware version you have, and any updated ones to come.
I've already got the files for mine, and it's really easy to do. It actually works too, check out some of the youtube videos.

No more bricked PSP's.

I don't recall.  I don't even recall the last firmware update I did -- it was a long time ago.  I've bought three new PSP games in the last month, but none of them have required firmware updates!

Yeah, Brave Story is really good!  Jeanne d'Arc, though, might just be the best original game of PSP.

Remake the psp  copy and leave it totally uncompressed.

Is there any program out there for taking screenshots during PSP play? I really need to rip the HM: Innocent Life map, but I can't figure out any way of doing it. The images on the ISO of the game are stupid .map files.

Hmm, never heard of the sort, I guess you could e-mail IGN or some oter source and ask them how they do it. Otherwise, try a PSP emulator!

Hrm, I didn't think of a PSP emulator. Oh well, I found an image on Innocent Life's Jap site anyway.

I wonder how IGN DO do it, though. I guess they rig the console up to a PC or something, as all their screens are .. well, yeah, screenshots.

i think there's a plugin for psp that lets you take screenshots with the sound button

Yup, there is. You can do that if you have custom firmware.
There's also SVCplayer. I think that takes pictures, as well as GIFs.

Also, review places like that usually have debug versions of consoles that come equipped with features for specifically that sort of thing.

Where, though? I found one or two but they either ONLY worked on 1.5 or only worked on true UMD games.

edit: SVCPlayer looks neat though.

What's the name of that plugin?

I think SVCplayer requires devhook or something, I've not used it.

Devhook is a thing of the past my friend, I don't think you need it to run anything ever since custom firmwares were developed.
