Aten your too late, the AMV's and visuals are amazing and yes there is too much of push this crate onto this button on the floor but it still rules!! I upgraded from 3.40 to 3.71 just for this and Patapon. The D-pad is not used at all it's all the analog I think it is great for controlling.

so

is anyone here especially competent with shit like popsloader and psardumper?  ever since i updated to 3.90, a lot of my ps1 eboots have just been going to a black screen, so i've been trying to get popsloader to run to see if maybe they'd work on different kernals or firmware or whatever, but then you gotta use psardumper to extract the fucking files out of the .psar file, which you have to get from the original eboot for the firmware, and then psardumper just tells me i need a .pbb file in addition to the .psar file and i don't even know what that is, and blah blah blah

so anyway yeah if someone's been through this shit before, i'm a little confused.

Hmm... Why does 3.71 play flawlessly and 3.90 required all this shit?

Hey bazooka, try and change the UMD driver first before doing other shit, it may work. Press select on the XMB and change the UMD driver to something else and try, it's worth a shot.

PS2 ones were awesome man, what are you talking about? Sure PSP ones is good, but it's no contest compared to PS2.

yeah, none of that shit worked, as i tried doing just about everything anyone suggested, but i was able to circumvent psardumper not working at all and as a result keeping me from getting the files i needed to let me load older firmwares by uh... just getting someone to upload their popsloader folder with all the files from 3.0-3.72 (3.90 being the default one) in it.  i felt dumb for not thinking of it five hours sooner.

I mean the controls... specifically the dodging. L+R is WAY better than right analog stick.

I played GoW 1 & 2 to get hyped for the CoO and the controls in CoO feel better...

In other news: Wild Arms XF ships out TODAY!!

Yay! Random words!

I'm playing Wild Arms 5 right now...so I actually can't wait for this.

And bazookatooth, Dark Alex has made a program called time machine where you can load multiple firmwares onto your PSP. It only supports 3.40OE and 1.50 for fat PSP's, and 3.60 for slim ones. It's a pretty nice program, but it's limited on the firmwares it can load.

Only ever played Wild Arms 3, wasn't that great either, plus I just cant play tactical rpgs anymore, I just get bored of them after awhile and forget about them.


I think I know where those numbers came from haha, but on a serious note, what do you guys think of how the homebrew scene is effecting the PSP in terms of games and what not, I plan to buy God of War and Crisis Core so I can actually own the games instead of having them on my hard drive, supporting the cause!

Well people pirate things because of many reasons, you might not be able to find that game in stock in your local game shop or something and sometimes say you bought a game and it broke? but you wasn't able to back it up? so you just download it instead. I understand the rant and I kinda agree.

Well people pirate things because of many reasons,

No the only reason people pirate any video game that isn't some old or obscure collector's item like Panzer Dragoon Saga is that they are terrible people and deserve to be fucking shot in the street.  I've pirated a game or two on PSP and like it makes me feel like the biggest piece of garbage in the world and I am probably going to buy a PSP slim and get rid of my old one specifically to eliminate my ability to pirate shit.  I'm all for pirating some old video game that you probably are only going to be able to buy used on Ebay for $900 or some overpriced $2000 software suite like Photoshop that there's no way in hell you'd ever be able to afford at this point in your life because you're still in High School and you don't have access to that sort of capital until your 30s.  However, it's really awful when people steal a brand new game because they're jackass highschool kids that want to play videogames all day but don't want to get some half-assed 10-hour-per-week grocery store job to pay for them.  Videogames are cheap and extremely affordable and you *can* afford them because seriously $60 doesn't translate into that many hours of work even if you work minimum wage.  It's certainly fewer hours of work than hours of entertainment the average game is reliable for.

And yeah figures like 100,000 seeds for God of War at one torrent site do not translate to 100,000 lost sales like publishers like to say but they probably do translate to at least several thousand lost sales.  I don't own FFTactics or Disgaea on PSP even though I love the games with all my heart and played each one for 40 hours or more's worth of constipated misery and that's because I stole them because I'm a piece of human slime and deserve to be stabbed in the penis.  It's true that most of the people who pirate a video game wouldn't have bought it if they could not steal; pirates are horders and like to steal a lot of things they don't have time to enjoy.  I pirated Generations of Chaos 2 on PSP knowing it was awful and played it for ten minutes and it was a bad game and there's no way in a million years I would have ever bought that crap.  Still, like or not, if you pirate something you won't buy it and you aren't trying before buying and you aren't sticking it to the man or whatever other bullshit you try to make up.  You're causing damage to the developer who depends on sales when it's the developer that makes the games you love and the developer that employs real human beings who happen to be losing their jobs because of this shit.

Also yes Wild Arms XF looks awesome.

You must be freaking nuts if you really think that pressing 2 buttons WHILE aiming your directions at the same time is easier then just a little "flick" of the right analog in any direction you want.

what do you guys think of how the homebrew scene is effecting the PSP in terms of games and what not, I plan to buy God of War and Crisis Core so I can actually own the games instead of having them on my hard drive, supporting the cause!

I only pirate for one reason. Because I don't feel like paying the greedy fat motherfucking game seller $250 for ONE game of God of War. Yes there is only ONE place in this forsaken country that sells games and yes it actually is priced $250.

Whoa Aten what dumbass shop sells God of War for $250, convert that to UK currency that would be about half of $250, so approx £125.

God Of War Chains of Olympus is gonna be about $70 when it comes out in NZ, and our prices for games are usually much higher then country's like the US or something, seriously Playstation 3 games are about 130 to 150, I doubt they are selling it for that much, if New Zealand and Australia are selling them for a fair price.

That's ridiculous man.  You should have someone in the US buy it for you and ship it.  But yeah like I said in my post pirating stuff when the pricing is legitimately predatory is probably not that great of a sin.

Yeah but isn't NZ's currency pretty undervalued?  I seem to recall 150 of New Zealand's currency being like 70 US dollars.

Attention folks, I just checked my Disgaea save game and it's not there I think upgrading from 3.40 to 3.51 to 3.71 has done something to my savegame and now there is nothing to load and I have to start a new one.
