Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read a while ago that the PSP can currently support up to 4 GB, and a firmware is being planned for the release of this new memory stick. I think I read it on www.psphacker.com when they first talked about it way back when...I'll check.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I recently played MG Ac!d 1 and loved it. Collecting those cards sure is addicting. One pet peeve that started to get on my nerves though was moving through doors. Two turns? what the fuck. In the console games you run through those things without stopping. When there is a door in your way with a guard it can seriously fuck up your strategy.

Anyways, if Ac!d 2 is even better than the first, I might go pick that up as soon as today. I don't think I could ever get enough of that series.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just picked up MGA:2, and totally forgot about the whole firmware thing. I currently have 1.50, so I have always had the ability to use homebrew. While I don't always keep up to date on the whole homebrew scene, I do have a couple emulators on my PSP that I use now and then when I get bored. I know I can't stay on 1.50 forever, as newer and more tempting games that require the upgrade are coming along.

What do you guys think...is it worth the upgrade from 1.50 to 2.60?

How ya doing, buddy?

A ‘loader,’ huh? I guess I need to do my research. I've been out of the PSP loop for quite a while…if it is possible to play this without the upgrade, then I am all for it. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Well, when I stuck in the game it said something like "This game requires firmware version 2.60" or something like that, so I assumed that it would need 2.60...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

A coupon that makes Megaman Powered Up, Maverick Hunter X, or Capcom Classics Remixed only 20 bucks apiece!

If you haven't picked up these awesome games yet, run off to Best Buy and pick em up!

Of those games, which do you feel would be the best buy? Or can you print the coupon three times and then get all of them?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Fucking a. Somebody update me. I can play 2.6 games with 1.5 firmware, download these games and run them off a memory card, all while being able to play an SNES emulator that is FINALLY running at normal speeds? Jesus christ I need to catch up.

We should have a little section in the first post showing all of the updated homebrew release note essentials so eveyone can keep up to date. Or is that dumb .

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Woo. All you haters can go out and get a PSP for cheap(er) now. If only that fabled $50 price-drop was true, then this would be quite the deal. With all of the bomb games currently in production for the PSP, might as well save some money, right?

FELIPE NO

Dammit. Where in the hell are you guys getting the 3.02 updater eboot file. I managed to find the 1.5 one, but I can't seem to find the 3.02 file.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Are you guys just using the 3.02 JP firmware for the installer?

http://dl.qj.net/PSP-Firmware-3.02-J...1627/catid/163

Is this essentially the same thing as the US firmware (if it even exists, I mean)?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Awesome. Got it working. Can I delete these folders in my PSP/GAME directory now? Or are they required for this stuff to work?

EDIT:
In case anyone is wondering or skeptical about doing this, I just followed this very detailed guide -

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/407535

Just remember to use 3.02 firmware eboot file instead of the 2.71 eboot file provided. Do that, and it will work perfectly fine.

EDIT 2:
Sorry guys - I am just full of questions today. I think I read somewhere earlier that DevHook is no longer required once you have this firmware installed? Can I play PSP iso's without the installation of devhook by placing them somewhere? Thanks a bunch.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Jesus. This just breathed all of the life back into my PSP.

I was pretty hooked on DevHook when I first got it, but damn that was annoying switching back and forth between the firmwares. But with this? Wow. This guy knows his shit.

I suppose the 4gb stick I got for x-mas is helping the experience as well...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hmmm...the 3.02 firmware remains after I format the memory stick, but now my PSP .iso's won't seem to start...

Maybe I need one of those folders I deleted to operate them properly. Why didn't I make a backup ...


EDIT:
Dammit I'm dumb. You need a UMD inserted for any .iso to work! AT LEAST I'M LEARNING!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Oh wow. I thought that option was just so that a UMD would not boot up automatically when you turned the system on, which is already available in the 3.02 system settings. The guy(s) who makes this stuff is incredible. Thanks a lot for pointing that out!

ALSO.

Has anybody had any luck or made an attempt on downgrading a 2.6 to a 1.5 firmware? My little brother saw me playing Gitaroo Man Lives!, and is now desperate for me to basically turn his PSP into the same as mine.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Note: Use the guide entirely at your own risk.

Awesome. It worked flawlessly. Thanks a lot! Now time to upgrade his to the 3.02 OE-B custom firmware...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I remembering hearing that Sony wanted to release an 8gb pro duo memory stick by the end of this year. Did that ever happen?

Also, Engadget is talking about PSP2, and how it may be getting a 60gb hardrive. I wonder when/if they will actually come out with the second PSP?

http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/28/p...ng-hard-drive/

FELIPE NO

I got a 4gb stick at Costco for about $100. I didn't think it was TOO unreasonable...but I can see how it is a little spendy. I know some people who just use multiple sticks to keep their costs down, but that seems a little tedious if you ask me.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm going to Florida for about a week, so I loaded up Ace Combat X, Gitaroo Man Lives!, Kill Zone: Liberation, and Loco Roco onto my 4gb stick, with Hot Shots Golf in the UMD drive. A very killer combo, and they all fit PERFECTLY (~22 mb left).

Even so, I think I may ditch Loco Roco and add some PSX isos, such as Castlevania: SOTN and/or FFVII, since I hear Loco Roco gets pretty repetitive and boring after a while...

EDIT:
Has anybody tried creating there own UMD isos? I found this guide and was thinking about trying it out, seeing as my local video rental store has a whole ton of UMD movies and games that are available to rent. This would certainly increase my collection, as I'm having a hard time finding some old PSP games that I wanted to try out...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey - quick question for Rock.

How did you make those screen captures of your psx emulator in action that you showed on the top of page 25? What plugin did you use?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

[PSP_DRIVE]:\seplugins\vsh.txt
[PSP_DRIVE]:\seplugins\game.txt

also create a file named pops.txt with the same contents (ms0:/seplugins/capture.prx). Don't forget to enable your plugins from the recovery menu. That's all there is to it.

Oh, you might want to change Overwrite = YES to NO in the configuration file (capture.ini) if you don't want to overwrite older screenshots between sessions.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to some screenshots and custom game icons and backgrounds for your converted PlayStation games. ;-)

Ha HA! Badass! You just netted me a new av/sig combo! I was having trouble with the brightness at first, until I finally figured out how to change that (even though it's still slightly off). Thanks a lot!

I managed to make some pretty sweet PSP wallpapers from the Gitaroo Man Lives! loading screens –

Spoiler:

Well, he can still technically play PSX games, right? He just needs to buy them and transfer them over with a PS3....

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't know if anyone else has talked about this yet, but has everybody seen the trailer for that new Crush game? It actually looks very unique and interesting...and it's from Sega. Kind of looks like a mix between a platformer and a puzzle game. I'm sure gonna keep my eye on it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmm...for some reason I can't seem to play PSX iso's. Could a reinstall fix this issue as well?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

PSP Firmware 3.50 is out.

Remote play over the internet from your PS3. Fucking sweet.

Too bad I'm gonna have to wait for a custom firmware .

Most amazing jew boots

From PSP Updates:

Quote:

More news from the PSP homebrew front. Mathieulh has explained on the Devsgen PSP forums that Sony has included an official ISO loader in PSP firmware versions 3.50 and 3.51. The loader is called np9660.prx and will apparently let PSP users load ISO files off their memory sticks.

The first explanation that comes to mind regarding the official ISO loader is that Sony is planning to release downloadable PSP titles either through PSN or a similar service geared exclusively for the PSP. The company has already mentioned earlier this year that a download service for the PSP is in the works.

French PSP news site PSP-Generation also notes that Dark AleX and Mathieulh will be patching the np9660.prx file for use in custom firmware 3.51 OE.

An official ISO loader?

I know this is far fetched, but how sweet would it be if Sony just said 'fuck it', and will now let people legally play ps1 games that they already own. Probably is meant solely for the purpose of downloadable content, but I can dream. Interesting, nonetheless.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/s...-video-output/

God dammit, I don't want to buy another PSP, but it's slimmer and has video output now ...

Hell, I probably still won't get it, even if Darth Vader really is on the back of it.

How ya doing, buddy?
