So, I'm currently hardware modding my psp, but I can't decide on whether I want a full body protector, or a screen protector.

Pros/Cons, anybody?

I had one of those plastic sheet protectors and it didn't last very long.

Hey guys, as you may or may not remember I hacked my PSP a while back.

Today I went to get Beats, but found out that I need a firmware of 3.70 or later. So is there a stable M33 firmware in the 3.7x ballpark?

Also, I always wondered. How does one go about downgrading a custom firmware? Hopefully there's just a tool and it's not as hard as downgrading an Official FW.

Yeah, I'm not too educated in this stuff. It's a wonder I hacked the thing without bricking it really. ^^;

Is there a website/database of PS1 game logos, pictures, and movies for the PSP?

Hey, 151, my man. I got a HORI liquid crystal screen protector for my PSP Slim. It applied fairly easily (a few not very noticable air bubbles, in my case) and does not hamper the gaming experience one bit. The only thing with them is the screens aren't perfectly to size to the screen, minus about a few mm's from the screen and all the edges of the screen aren't completely covered. But hardly noticable, only if you look at the where the screen ends you'll be able to see it, really. I recommend this product, I picked it up off of Play-Asia for about 7 bucks. I also got a really cool pouch from Renchi.com for my PSP Slim. The Hard Pouch series...

The screen is nice because it isn't very prone to scratches, but will smudge up a bit if you touch it with your hands. Say goodbye to scratches that never meet your PSP with this product! (-_-...hehe)

I'm currently looking into getting some more memory for my PSP so I can try out Beats...

Thanks Aquas! I was looking into those the other day. I'll probably buy it now.

If you're talking about custom eboot pictures and icons and stuff..
Custom Pics for PS1 games : INDEX - MaxConsole Forums
You're going to need to make an account but it's a good place.
Also I guess I'm going to have to repeat but..

Beats is not playable on custom firmware yet (unless you downloaded it from the store yourself, and even then, that's iffy..) as it uses some new encryption scheme that hasn't been cracked yet (information says that it'll have to be cracked through firmware, NOT through the game, to make Beats work.) Get it here. No password.


You also need firmware 3.70 or HIGHER to run Beats.

Ah, here is a link to instructions on how to apply the hori protector screen.

eStarland.com - PSP Hori Protective Filter / Screen Protector (PSP)

Thanks! I was looking for that. Yeah, I'd recommend this one over my own link.

I'd search this for myself but I wouldn't know where to start.

Is there a homebrew program that allows me to record in-game movies? I think if there were one I'd know by now, but I don't risk anything to ask. I'm looking to record in-game movies, not the dashboard, not the crossbar and whatnot.

Thanks.

The newest firmware update that's coming will allow the recording of certain channels with that television deal, but I'm not sure if you can do movies yet. Give me a tick to check on it.

Well, I found one plugin that you need to use for Devhook, and the other for iRShell. Unfortunetly nobody's made a standalone version of videocapture for CFW.

Hey, did you guys here? PSP 3.80 firmware is out now, and you can play PS1 games via remote play from the PS3, whether they are disc based or downloaded :rock:.

Other features: I am VERY happy with the PSP -> PS3 Sony connectivity that Sony really seems to be pushing. Christ I need an updated firmware that can utilize all of this :(...

GUI PopStationMD 2.0

RS-GUI PopStationMD v2.0b.rar

Thanks! <3 A lot of these are really well made. I'm surprised some of even the most obscure games have been covered (Slap Happy Rhythm Busters for example).

God damnit, I just upgraded to M33-3 a few days ago. D:<

Oh well, it's not like the update is that important..

is big update:

Nono, I think you misunderstand, I don't own a PS3 or have any PS1 games which are multiple discs, so the update isn't important for me at the moment. I'll probably update it anyway after I'm done mixing and matching custom PS1 icons/backgrounds for my games.

Whoa? That's just amazing. But is it for both psp's?

So...I am thinking of getting a PSP.

Question is, I am still unclear about the differences between the old and new PSPs.

Also, as I was reading a few posts, it seems that some software/homebrew stuff/etc only works on one type, and not the other?

for me if i'll buy new one i'll get PSP-slim.not there big different.both you can downgrande,play homebrew.

Slim has better features (TV output, USB recharge) so I would go with that. Using a CFW is available for both, but i would look into what you need to do it before making a decision.

I could link you to a whole bunch of PSP vs. PSP Slim reviews and videos but there's only one thing I can say. There's no reason to purchase an outdated gaming system which plays the exact same games as the newer model. It's like purchasing a Gamecube when you can simply buy a Wii and play Gamecube games on it, plus all the new ones.

Although that slightly differs for the PSP, the Slim is really nice and I think it's even lighter than the DS Lite in terms of heft. The only way of modding it right now is with the Pandora's Battery method, I think, but it's totally worth it.

With the ceramic white, slim PSP (new model). You now have TV output. I think it also comes with the Star Wars Battlefront II game (not sure).

If i were you, I'd go to craigslist and find a guy selling a modded slim PSP. there should be a guy who thinks he can make money by selling modded psps so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

It's pretty hard to mod a slim psp without a modded fat psp. So unless you have a friend who has a modded psp than you can get them to help you out.

But yeah, definately get a slim TV-out FTW.

About the homebrew, yeah you can't really run homebrew off a slim psp but there aren't that many must have homebrew aps aside from Pandora anyways.

PSX and PSP games run fine off the card.

So, no, say SNES/NES emulation for a SLIM PSP? I am wanting to play mostly PSP games, and retroing it as well.

And crab, I like your avatuar and title. I may be one of the few who actually know what it all means, haha.
