I wish I had a PSP now

oh well, I bought a DS for $20 w/ 4 DS games + Fire Emblem for GBA, from some kid who was desperate to pay for another month of world of warcraft
if I where to buy it now though, wouldn't it be PRE-loaded if the firmware updates anyway?

They are always out of date. Not that it matters. Downgraders are there for a reason. The current update has a downgrader for it.... and even if it does use the LCS exploit... worst case scenario is you having to wait a short amount of time before they circumvent it. It never fails. They have successfully bypassed every motheboard/ firmware to date. This should be the least of your concern.

Ok, so I just bought a PSP and my firmware version is 2.71. I read a guide and found out that I have a TA-082 motherboard. I'm going to download the files and see if I can get the homebrew to work. If I brick it I can take it back to EB for a new one as I have a one time replacement warranty.

Yeah, I was about to say this. You can always have your unit replaced, whether by the dealer or the manufacturer. Since there's no physical damage, there's no one to say it isn't a defective unit.

As well, if they should question you, you could always lie and say that it bricked when you were wirelessly updating using the official Sony update. (Since it flashes your psp, and you're doing it remotely, there's a chance that you can brick like that.)

Ok, I think I have all the right files; I followed the guide from the third post in this topic. I'm just charging my battery and then I'll give it a shot. However, the readme for the guide isn't very specific so I am a little wary that I'll screw something up. But oh well, I do have that replacement warranty.

Or you can do it while charging.

Your psp can still get up to full battery life if you charge and play at the same time.

Yeah but it needs to be at 75%+ otherwise it just won't let you do it.

Ahh, ok. I'm stuck though, and don't want to move forward. I've downloaded HEN-D, and the guide says to run it. But I can't find a HEN-D excecutable while browsing my memory card. Am I supposed to run it off of my computer?

Edit: Nevermind, I found a new guide, and it showed me what to do. However, when I get to this step: "The program will exit to the XMB. Now execute the generic downgrade, which will show in the xmb
as "Update X.YX" in the psp language." I can't find the file, I have two files showing on my memory stick, IdStorage Change, and Corrupted Data.

Ok, wow, I'm pretty stupid. I forgot to rename the file before I transfered it, so I was overwriting EBOOT.PBP each time. Everything worked, now I just need to get some snes roms and an emulator and I'll be set.

Don't you mean PSX isos so you can play them in your PSP?

Yeah, I'm updating to 3.02 OE-B or whatever atm. Also, I can't play my umd game with firmware 1.5. Will I be able to when I upgrade to 3.02?

Edit: Wow, I keep answering my own questions, heh. Also, portable Chrono Trigger is pretty awesome.

I'm finally up and running with 3.03 OE-C. So far this week, incredible results. God bless Sony for this marvelous emulator.

Diablo - Runs perfectly, one hour of gameplay so far.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Runs perfectly, two hours of gameplay so far.
Crash Bandicoot 2 - Runs perfectly, played game through entirely.
Warcraft 2 - Runs perfectly, half hour of gameplay so far.
Civilization 2 - Runs perfectly, one hour of gameplay so far.
Symphony of the Night - Runs perfectly, twenty minutes of gameplay so far.
Soul Edge - Runs perfectly, half hour of gameplay so far.
Vagrant Story - Minor sprite clipping, no other problems whatsoever, two hours of gameplay so far.

Now to jump on the SNES, Genesis, and GBA scene. With my selection now spanning 5,000+ games, I highly doubt I'll be buying any actual PSP titles anytime soon.

I'm guessing the PSP GBA emulator runs exactly the same as the Virtual Boy? IE no Pokemon day/night cycle etc?

I completely forgot about Diablo for PS1. I had it for a while. The insane loading time drove me crazy... but still... it's fucking DIABLO. I hope someone can zoo this. Handheld Diablo would be the greatest thing ever.

Do not compress this game. You will get lock ups later on in the game if you do. This is guaranteed.

Anyone know if multiplayer is possible via adhoc in any conceivable way? I'd seriously love to get some handheld Soul Edge going with a friend.

Hmmm....not sure if the EBOOT I have is compressed or not (got it pre-compiled for PSP via torrent). Any idea what the uncompressed file size should be? Mine is 570 mb.

570mb should be fine I would think. Also, hook me up with the torrent? Please?

The PSP is quickly turning out to be one of the best systems I own; I'm currently downloading SotN.

The PSP is quickly turning out to be seven of the best systems I own. I can't believe that in my two hands I hold a fully-featured Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Playstation One, and Playstation Portable, complete with hundreds of the finest games from each of the systems' libraries.

Imagine time-travelling back to the mid nineties and showing this thing to someone.
