And get a damn USB cable dude you should really plan this stuff. How are you going to put anything on it without any memory sticks or a cable?

Yeah, Im going to buy a headphone and look for a usb cable today. I already told my mum to buy a 2GB memory card with it. I thought it'd be a entertainment pack. Well, PSP stuff isn't easily sold in this crap country, so I'll have to buy regular headphones. Those will work, right?

I dont even think Lumines is sold here.

sadly, even if it was sold there, theres nothing you would be able to do with that game  :fogetcry: (well  you could play it ofcourse lol. but no modding  :fogethuh:​)

Can't you just get a Pandora Battery off of ebay or something? I know that it probably isn't a good idea to do that, but I think that's the only option.

Ahh. Well, I went and bought the cheapest game available. Medievil: Resurrection. Cost $75. Also got a pretty decent head phone and also swiped a usb cable from work.

So I guess I can play Medievil and listen to some music until they make a "SAFE + actually doable for me" way to hack the slim.

hey so

he;lp


i've thought about doing this like half a dozen times since the psp came out, but i think i am seriously going to buy one, and obviously i'm going to want to do the homebrew/emulation thing.  EXCEPT.......... i know pretty much nothing about any of this, and skimming this topic kind of confuses me.  so yeah, is there some kind of definitive starting guide in the way of "an idiot's guide to purchasing and cracking (or is it hacking?) a psp"?  the real problem i find myself encountering right now is that the obvious choice to me in terms of what type of psp to buy is the new one, if only because the longer battery life seems necessary, but it also seems from this topic like the things i'd be trying to do with it are more difficult to do with the slim than they are with the older version, if possible at all.  so any help as far as which one to buy, and where i'd even get started, would be pretty appreciated!

i don't know why i bought my fucking psp. i never use it. like, for anything. i have used it maybe 5 times since i bought it. i think i have spent more time setting it up correctly than actually using it. do you want it? i will sell it to you for less than regular price and it's completely set up for emulation and everything, so you won't even have to do it yourself. it's not that i want to get rid of it as it is i just want some money back for all the money i just completely wasted on it.

so yeah, the offer's up if you want it.

dose it come with game's



that sounds like a pretty sweet deal, though!  how much are we talking?  don't feel any need to give me some crazy discount because i'm your OLD PAL PANDA or some shit because then i'd feel like kind of a dick for ripping you off, but yeah, some ballpark amount of what you'd want would be great.  also maybe PERIPHS if you bought anything with it (like earbuds so i don't have to buy a pair, lumines since i think that's necessary, memory stick, etc.  actually those're really the only things i care about, not so much shit like screen protectors/cases/wrist straps).

also how difficult/time-consuming was it to setup, and are you using the old kind or the new PSP2000000000000 or whatever?  and this topic confuses me but are you using 3.40OE or that m33 shit?  i don't really know what any of that means but i assume it's significant.  and finally would you consider this an even remotely worthwhile investment yes/no.  like wooooow emulation of older consoles like snes/gba/psx plus an okay assortment of random psp games i've heard decent things about, plus other random cool shit.  it sounds nice!  kind of like when i wanted to buy a gp32.

I think the PSP is great, but only if you have homebrew and shit on it. I wouldn't get one just for PSP games....even though their library is probably now as good as the DS's, I still don't think it's worth the price. But with the homebrew and everything, it's a great system. Especially if your on the road or whatever, it is the ULTIMATE handheld. Seriously, I took a 3 hour trip(lol thats not long) across the state a few weeks ago, and if I did not have a PSP on me, I would be pretty bored. But shit, I don't know of any other handheld that can play SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, Atari, NES, MAME, etc, as well as play movies and music. The only thing I hate about the PSP is the cost of the memory sticks. It's about $50 here for a 2GB memory stick, which is ridiculous IMO.

well, i am thinking maybe $100-120? i got it for $140. lumines is only required for newer ones or psp slim. i have no idea actually, i stopped keeping up with the whole emulation thing after i set mine up. i had to buy some gta game to get mine working correctly, i think it was originally 3.31 or something. i honestly don't remember. what matters is that it's currently on 3.40oe i think, which i had to set up myself. it runs all of the emulators and psx games and everything and if you really wanted, you would never have to do anything to it (meaning you wouldn't have to set anything up or download any installers or anything), but i think there's an upgrade that you could download, but i honestly have no idea what it does.

oh yeah i have a 4gb memory stick and that cost me $50, so i guess i would sell this to you for about $150.

but yeah, i don't think this was worthwhile at all. it is OK i guess to be able to PLAY OLD GAMES ON THE GO but really i am just not interested in games anymore. i think the longest i have ever spent using it was when bort and i were in the subway for like 15 minutes. that is not true, i put music on it and listened to it for like 2 hours, but i honestly just don't use it at all. i thought the novelty of being able to play snes games wherever i wanted would be really neat, but really it is not.

so i guess if you really, really want to play chrono trigger or super mario world on a road trip or in the middle of class, get it. otherwise it is just a waste of money. people talk about how homebrew or whatever is so great, but really it is just a novelty. you can now play games that have been out for 20 years on a 3 inch screen wherever you want for a maximum of 4 hours!

ps it comes with the psp megahits scooby doo, open season (#1 game on the psp), some metal gear solid game, and 2 gta games. also some power cord i bought and some earbuds (i am not sure if they work anymore so maybe not).

well yeah obviously you should only get one if you.. want to play one. i dont understand why you would get one otherwise.

homebrew is exactly what you expect it to be - the ability to play genesis/snes/ps1/n64 games on the go. if you bought one and THEN decided that was lame, then yeah kinda stupid of you, really!

i don't see anyone saying it's SO GREAT, i just see people saying it .. is what it is. it's not great or lame, it's just the ability to play old games.

plus the psp does have a few good games for it now, the harvest moon on it is the best hm there is, gurumin is pretty addictive (if not incredibly annoying at one point so i just stopped playing it). loco roco is still fun to play through once, ghouls and ghosts will keep you busy if you are the sado masochistic type, monster hunter 2/the sequel to it are good if you have friends who own it too, and uh.. well thats already more games than i have for my ds.

Don't forget Jeanne D'Arc. It's the best SRPG I've ever played. Move over FFT, Jeanne D'Arc rules. (I'm surprised no one started a topic about it here before when it was released. It was one of the most anticipated PSP games, and it truly delivers what it promised.)

Downsized ps2 games on a 333mhz processor and [whatever ][/whatever] ram? Sounds like bullshit.

Sony has confirmed - but the emphasis will be on new titles, not on ports of existing games.

Quote
In order to use this system, developers will have to write compatible games for both the PS2 and PSP

Quote
etc

What is the current status of all this? We are able to play PSX games for PSP, and no developers have worked on PS2/PSP cross overs. I still don't see this happening... though it's good to know that with similar hardware (really, wtf?), this may be possible in the future.
