[PSP] PSP Discussion. Hay guys I just got one for Crisis Core, can u help me how 2 hax pls?

It's hard to believe that some PSP owners on 1.5 firmware don't know of DevHook yet.

Most amazing jew boots

Um, I looked really quick but I'm still not sure if this has been posted yet. But anywhere here goes.

It looks like Disgaea will be coming out for the PSP. http://disgaea.jp/psp1/ Personally, I think this is a good thing. Another reason for me to get a PSP. (when I have the money. I want AC X too)

It's a nice alternative to shelling out 150-200$ for the PS2 version. It would be even nicer if it also sent the prices down on the PS2 version..

How ya doing, buddy?

That sounds all good but i was hoping for a Phantom Brave Portable someday. We'll eventually get it soon or later.

New PSP in 2007?

http://www.gametab.com/news/665363/

It makes sense that the PSP should receive a massive redesign overhaul, but man, this ain't going to help PSP sales this Christmas.

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

Eheh.. Sony is going TOO FAR with this shit.

Most amazing jew boots

what's the big deal? nintendo already did it with the multiple gameboy, GBA/GBA SP and DS/DS lite so why sony can't do a redesign for the PSP to make it better?

I was speaking idiomatically.

This was rumored ever since the PSP got one year old and Sony didn't make any official anouncements regarding a new PSP model. I highly doubt it. Besides, being a happy PSP owner, I don't know how to improve the thing in a way that is worth an entirely new model.

Well if you know Sony, Imagine the price of the "new psp". with the 8gb built in that damn thing. The only big deal will be the price. everything else is fine. I dont really need a 8gb stick anyway -.-.. just buy another 1gb for 30-45 bucks.

I recall the difference in playing X-men Legends 2, the real umd and on the memory stick. Load times that were normally like 30 seconds would become 2-3 seconds when played from the memory stick...

It could also benefit from a better d-pad and a more comfortable nub placement. There's plenty of other things, but to me, the PSP is far from perfect.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't know about 8GB, but 4+ sounds about right. What you'd have is a portable that's got all the benefits of optical and cartridge based memory. Sony could essentially make the PSP take an image dump of the games and load them into the internal memory. There'd be minimal load times, and other than the initial drain from the dump it should be better on battery life (if played for long periods of time to account for the large drain from the dump).

Also as was said above better control pads would be nice, and perhaps a more scratch resistant coating.

Hell the memory alone would be a gigantic improvement.

As for "shooting themselves in the foot". This is what companies do. If you've got a hot product it's going to sell int he holiday season regardless. The amount of consumers that would hold off buying a PSP based on a whisper of an internet rumor is not enough for them to hold off releasing the product, or increasing their timescale. Furthermore I believe their fiscal year starts in March. I say a new PSP is a good way to kick things off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

4 GB Memory Stick Pro Duos are already available and DevHook allows you to run your games off them, so you can already have this gigantic improvement with your current PSP.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, apparently the whole thing is still just speculation...

Gamespot

Nevertheless, I think it's safe to assume that a PSP redesign is in the works. Nintendo has proven time and time again that re-releasing the system can boost sales.

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

Sony has done significant changes to a system before. Look at the PS1 moving from the old controllers to the Dual-Shocks: that was a huge change...

How ya doing, buddy?

Hell I'll do you one better than that, how many popular systems haven't gotten remodels? While this rumor may not be true a remodel at some point in time is pretty much inevetable.

I can and you can, but PSP homebrew is a relatively underground thing. A PSP with these capabilities would go over well as an official release.

Yeah, but that cost you what, 30 bucks for a controller at the most?

Certainly not 200-250 like a new system. It didn't go from PS1 to PS1: Dual Shock edition.

So....2.71 downgrader released then

Woot. Just bought myself a PSP a couple days ago. Price was reasonable with 1GB memory, MGA2 and Ghosts N Goblins for $420 CND from Microplay. This is unchartered water for me being my first handheld. So far I'm really impressed with it and I'm having a blast with both games.

Out of the box it came with firmware 2.5 which I updated to 2.6 and now I'm running 2.8. I haven't been able to make use of the WLAN feature or use the brower as I don't have a router and there doesn't seem to be any connectivity in my apartment building. I'm a little confused how the PSP downloaded the 2.6 firmware but otherwise I can't get online with it. Incidently I'm not able to enable WMA playback or flash.

I read an article that said transfering files to the PSP is "nightmarishly difficult" although I found the whole drag and drop thing pretty easy. I already have some photos, Pink Floyd music and videos neatly filed away.

Does running homebrew provide any advantages other than playing PSP backups and emulation? I have the arcade versions of KI and KI2 sitting on my PC which is tempting me to see if they'll work but other than that I'm not interested in playing backups or running much emulation. Although I may use homebrew if there happen to be other neat features it opens up. I saw on QJ.net I believe a program called Helloworld which works with 2.8 firmware.

Anyway, thought I'd remind everyone how much the PSP owns incase you had forgotten. It's fun having a new toy after so long.

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

I'm not sure what it is, whether its the jump from newer models to old, but my pal with an older model has issues tranfering files, it's just very very slow for him. I too have just purchased a PSP and everything is A-OK, aside that it's a factory 2.6 and I can't really do much with that ~ Just waiting on a DevHook that'll work for it (now upgraded to 2.71, orz) so I don't have to buy games.

Good times.

His computer probably supports USB 1.1 only.

There are working downgraders for 2.6, though. So DevHook should work, unless your PSP has a TA-082 mainboard.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

According to PSM, the new PSP will hit as early as March in Japan. It will be the same $200 that PSP is at now, and might even include another analogue stick (maybe). So now it's a choice between buying PSP in October for ACX or waiting until who knows when 2007 for the American version to be released, but have 8 gigs of memory at no extra cost. That's a tough choice. I really want PSP for movies, but I don't want to wait another year to play these games.


I know you can emulate games on PSP, but are there any Playstation emulators for it? Or is it just old Nintendo games?

I thought this rumour was debunked already. There is an official statement from Sony that there will be no new PSP.

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

Oops, didn't read that Gamespot article. Well, that's good news I guess because now I'm free to buy a PSP now. Probably why Sony doesn't want to announce the next PSP now, it would disuade holiday buyers.

Anyways, is it possible to emulate PS1 gamesd on PSP? I know many PS1 games are seeing rerelease on PSP (Silent Hill), but there are just some games I want that won't be released. Playing MGS, GT2, or AC2 on PSP would be the bees knees.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sony is planning to add PS1 emulation to one of their next firmware releases, most likely version 3.0 to go along with the PS3 launch. You'll have to purchase games through their online service, though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

... until they sell out of all the current models they've already manufactured. Seriously though, these gaming companies lately like Sony et. al. are pretty tight-lipped and would say that even if they were planning to make an official announcement of the next version next week. But, point taken.

FELIPE NO

Of course the hardware and software side of things are not so much the problem when it comes to emulating Playstation 1 games on the PSP its the interface. Lack of the R2, L2 triggers plus the right analog stick makes things difficult, but I see no reason why Sony couldn't implement a contraption which clicks onto the top of the PSP via the USB slot which would give the PSP the 2 triggers and an additional analog stick near the top right like on the 360 controller. I just pray to God that the emulator will be cracked and allow us to load our own ISO's.
