There's sprite clipping in Vagrant Story? Where? Maybe I'm not far enough. (I just got to the town.)

I'm in the forest and I notice that randomly you can see little black "cracks" where the tiles are pieced together.  Maybe "clipping" isn't the right word for it.

If anyone knows how to convert PSX memory card/ Emulator ( PC ) gamesaves to PSP please let me know.

I just got my psp today (Hurray for free stuff on birthdays) and I was woundering if anyone could reccomend a good site that basically has all the homebrew stuff for psp all in one? I've been searching around and most of the sites I've found are far less than what you'd call trustworthy.

QJ.net is fairly reliable (http://pspupdates.qj.net/) but you'll have to search around there since they report on pretty much anything PSP related.

There are also the MaxConsole PSP forums. (http://forums.maxconsole.net/forumdisplay.php?f=78)

Well, if you have any questions or need some help, you can just ask here, because some of us do have experience going through the downgrading/upgrading. The most important thing you have to figure out at the moment is to see what firmware your PSP is. Just go to Settings->System Settings->System Info, and it should give you a number like 2.50. If it says 2.81 or something higher then homebrew can't be run on your PSP. Hopefully you have something lower though. 

Hot off the presses! Another custom firmware update. (http://pspupdates.qj.net/3-03-OE-B-Released-Movie-Madness-/pg/49/aid/78858)

3.03 OE-B.

The major updates to this firmware are:
- Full resolution support for MP4-AVC videos (previously limited on Sony firmwares)
- Changed the structure of the program to have more free ram in game mode (This supposedly fixes some of the PSX games that have been freezing at times like FF8)
- Docmaker also now allows for 1000 png (images) to be used rather than the previous 100 (Useful if you want to make your own PSX game manuals)

The biggest one is definetely the video resolution. Goodbye black bars.

It may be that pspupdates has a personal vendetta against me, but I can't make their site move any faster than dead dung, and as many of you might have guessed, dead dung dun go nowhere fast. If you have the time and feel up for the effort, could you please consider helping me downgrade my 2.00 to 1.5? From there on, I should be able to use the stuff in this topic, but searching through their archives at poo-speed will make me able to downgrade come next spring when the artifical decomposing is finished.

i actually have an idea already, but since it warns of 2.01 and shit, I'm not too sure about trying it. http://www.hackaday.com/2005/09/28/how-to-psp-2-00-to-1-50-downgrade/  and http://pspupdates.qj.net/Working-PSP-Firmware-2-0-to-1-50-Downgrader-/pg/49/aid/8213 however! for the sake of science, I will (as soon as I find another 1.5 firmware). If you want to point out how wrong I am in doing so, please do!

edit: Phew, solved it. What you need is another .15 firmware, and it's quite tricky to find. If you can't, PM me, I'm gonna keep it.

So have you figured it out yourself yet Kalar? Are you at 1.50 now? If not, then I would just upgrade to 2.71, as that's the easiest firmware to downgrade to 1.50 from.

Yeah, Mateui, figured it all out, thanks anyway! Was just trying to get up to 3.02-A, but since I only have 30 megs atm, and it needs 35~, I'm screwed for the time being. In the meantime, I've got another related question. When trying to upgrade to this latest version you posted, 3.03-B, you need to have 3.03-A installed. Can I go directly from 1.5 to 3.03-A, or do I need to go 3.02-A, -B and then upwards?

You CAN go straight to 3.03 OE-A from 1.50

So, looks like Suikoden II freezes not very far into the game (was excellent as far as FIRST 30 MINUTES GOES anyway), so I think I am going to get Xenogears as I've hear good things about it

I read something about a suikoden II bug where your name had to be 6 letters in all caps or something for it to run. Sounds stupid, I know, but might as well give it a try! Oh and I've been enjoying Scummvm on my psp immensely, and portable FFT is a dream come true.

I upgraded to 3.03 OE-B, and I notice that some of my PSX games now show up as corrupt data... any reason for this?

You may have to remake the eboots.

I tried that, I tried them on various different compression levels too, still gives me corrupted data.  I didn't know if anyone knew if any sort of compatiblity was broken.

Is anyone else having problems with FFVII? I converted disc 1 from my own copy of the game, and running 3.03 OE-B, there are some minor graphical glitches during battles. The initial BATTLE SWIRL doesn't work, the names and hp/mp stats etc. flicker annoyingly, and some other small things. The video in the first post, though, shows the battle running perfect.

What's wrong
