Guys. When browsing the slim psp's folder on the pc, there is a "games" folder there, and when I pasted something there, it showed up on the psp's OS under memory card->games. It showed "corrupted data" but I guessed as much.

So the question, what kind of games can you actually put there, and are they downloadable?

Guys, I don't know if this is NEW information or no, but it might be worth checking out?

http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=81424

Basically, it details how to make a Pandora's battery WITHOUT a phat PSP.

The pics show a 2200 mAH model battery, but I have a 1200 mAH model...

So.... basically... has anyone done this? (or can anyone do this and post how easy/safe t is to do  :naughty:)

Let me rephrase this.

If I go out tommorow and buy a slim PSP, will I be able to mod it to emulate PSX / SNES / Whatever else there is, providing I have lumines and my brothers larger psp?

You'll need to create a Pandora battery, but you do that after you go to a custom firmware on your Fat PSP.
So yes, you will be able to.

What's the firmware on your brothers PSP?

Im not sure. I know he used Lumines to mod his PSP though.

I have no interest in screwing around with batteries, so I suppose it'd be easier to get a regular old PSP and just mod that.

You can check what firmware you have if you go under system settings.

And you don't really mess around with the battery. All you have to do is buy an extra battery, download the software for Pandora, and it does it for you.
You should just stick with the fat PSP though, since all homebrew works on it.

Then there's the whole saving money thing.

Thanks a lot for the concise information.

yeah, i torrented the demo of it last night, and just got around to putting it on my psp now.  it looks incredible.  like, really, incredible.  pretty much as good as the ps2 version.  except maybe when it comes to anti-aliasing or whatever, not quite as good.  i really wouldn't have expected a psp game to look this good in the traditional, detailed 3d sense.  also, it controls really well, and krattos himself moves around and attacks pretty fluidly.  if anything, he's faster than he was in the original (maybe these were changes that apply to the second god of war, too, which i never played).  i don't remember being able to stay in the air hitting people for nearly this long.  one thing i did notice was somewhat substantial, albeit not really inhibiting or anything, framerate drops when entering new areas where like 8-10 goons were waiting for you.  but even then, it'd only stutter for a few seconds, and go back to running at full speed, even if there were still a lot of things going on on screen (that is to say, it went back to normal before i even killed anyone, or before the explosions happening all around you stopped, so it's not like after a certain amount of on-screen action, the game's fps just drastically dips).  i think this is pretty understandable, though, considering it's a demo.

the game is still kind of just mashing buttons and destroying dozens of baddies, but it seems just as fun as it was on the ps2, which is saying a lot for quite a few people.  if they can replicate the pretty solid puzzle elements the original had, and make the boss encounters interesting, this is probably going to end up being one of the really noteworthy psp games.

Wowza. I just realised I have a crap load of PSX games I got the ISO's of ripped from friends games and various other places and I do want to play them, but not on my PC. Playing them on PSP would be awesome beyond belief. Stuff like FF Tactics, Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Thousand Arms and so on.

If I can get a fat PSP I think this might be the thing that pushes me into getting it. I do love a good handheld game.

@bazooka - This is basically what I wanted to say, and what is up with that frame rate drop when going down that hole? You know if you can unlock anymore treasures?

So, killzone L has a chapter 5 with more levels. But the only way to get it is to download via your psp. Let it be known that my country just got out of the dialup modem era and internet on the psp is scheduled for sometime next century...

So, if you download it to your psp, it must be saved somewhere on the memstick, no?

I don't give 2 squats for the "infrastructure" mode or whatever, just the story mode. Can anyone share?


EDIT:

Still waiting for GOd of War Demo download link :-\  i cant find it

just torrent it, playboy.  i'm pretty sure you can find the torrent at pretty much any torrent site in current use, and it's like a 250mb download, so yeah.

has anyone tried castlevania?  i was thinking about maybe torrenting it, but my torrent speeds have been subpar lately, and i don't want to waste my time if the game sucks.

oh edit.  this jeremy parish guy on 1up that steel has a boner for or whatever gave it a 9.5.  guess that decides it!  9.5 from a guy with actual discriminations against bad games is enough to at least make it worth checking out.  hopefully i can get it in under a week with my ridiculous connection problems.
