PSP slim and Lite - My Review

PSP Slim and Lite

*www.imgpire.com/images/37egoi2oyiny6d0a9q.jpg

Here is small review of the gadget which I was planning to buy since long time, but because of busy schedule (seriously J) I was not able to spare enough time to get one. Finally after long time I got chance and went to Mumbai on weekend, ‘only’ to get this portable gaming gizmo.

Usually before buying any gadget I have a habit of going through several sites tutorials/FAQ’s to know more about the product, similarly for PSP my ‘know more’ activity was going on in background since last 1 month. I posted my queries on several sites/forums including our very own ‘thinkdigit’ forum and got answers for many of them. We will go through FAQ about PSP (Playstation Portable) further in this article.

So, let’s start with the details and specifications of the new PSP slim and lite model and some major differences with respect to the old PSP-1000 ‘phat’ model.

*www.imgpire.com/images/exx9o0ou6qugl2q0b1kp.png

It’s a no-brainer that if you are planning to buy a PSP you should go ahead with the slim model. Being lighter in weight the new PSP slim also has more memory;changes in loading time due to more memory are apparently insignificant. According to various sites, some games perform slightly better and some even slightly worse, PSP Slim outperforms PSP in loading time in the matter of just a few seconds. Even though the slim model has 1200mAh battery it lasts as long as the 1800mAh one for the phat. One other good change is that the speakers now are placed in the front side instead of the backside as in previous models.

We can see that PSP supports most popular audio formats including WMA which is great because most of the portable music players available in the market only support MP3, but WMA has emerged as a popular codec format in last few years and deserves to be supported on every music player. Various popular image formats are also supported; you can directly put your MS Pro Duo from your Sony digicam to your PSP to view photographs on screen. Several freely available applications like ‘PSP video9’ etc help you convert videos to the desired PSP supported video format.

PSP acts as a music player, video player / picture viewer and most important as a handheld gaming device (this is what it is all about). Let’s see how it scores on all these different fronts.

The XrossMediaBar (XMB - Menu):

XMB provides a simple user friendly way to navigate through the PSP contents ie. themes, wallpapers, music, games,videos etc. The default image viewer is simple and provides slideshow mode other than the basic manual browsing through images, provides zoom-in and zoom-out and any image can be set as wallpaper on your PSP. The biggest problem (idiotic one) with file management is that you can not browse in to nested folders, PSP wont recognize folders below one level (although you can use PSPfiler plugin to address this flaw to some extent).

Default XMB

Browsin through wallpaper thumbnails (theme In a flow)

Two basic themes will be provided by default for PSP named ‘original’ and ‘cookies’. Original theme is what all of us must have seen and it’s the simplest and best. Other themes can be downloaded in ‘ptf’ or ‘ctf’ format. CTF themes change the look and feel of your PSP entirely, while the PTF themes are just a set of new icons/wallpapers CTF are a whole new level, CTF themes can be applied safely by using the CXMB plugin. The screenshot below shows the Alienware theme.

If you are using firmware 3.9 or above you can use the ‘Skype’ and the ‘Go messenger’ application from XMB. Recent 4.0 update also adds Google search through the XMB.

Music player :

On the journey back from Mumbai to my city, I had no games to play on PSP, so I enjoyed music for about four hours with my EP-630 earphones plugged in. PSP outputs above average sound quality and is real pleasure to listen to. In these 4 hours only 43% of the battery was drained. There are four modes of audio presets which PSP offers which you can set only when headphone/speakers/etc is connected to your PSP headphone jack. You can enable graphic visualizers to go with music on PSP.

Available visualizers, 4.05 FW adds more.

The audio quality offered is equal to what an ipod offers but the volume level of PSP is limited. Those who like to listen to music with volume turned up to the highest mark will be slightly disappointed. There is way to increase the volume limit of PSP but the default max volume level is enough for me so I haven’t tried increasing it yet. Last thing to say about audio is that the PSP speakers are horrible, you would never want to listen to music on the provided speakers.

Video player :

Who ever gets a chance to see this gadget first says “I don’t believe you can enjoy watching video on this screen”, the very next thing you should do is to play a video file and hand your PSP to that person an wait for the compliment : “It’s amazing”. It happened with me; everyone returned it to me only after watching long scenes from the movie ‘300’.

)

PSP is not a replacement for your television/monitor but it excel’s as a PMP, the hi-res large screen serves its purpose of outputting high quality video. Fast forward, reverse and options like scene selection make the video player complete with essential features. With the slim you can also watch your PSP content on big screen by connecting it through provided Video output connector. Watching movies on a long journey? hell lot of fun J !!

Gaming Device :

Yes, 'the' most important and primary reason to own this gadget. PSP is the most powerful handheld gaming device till date with wide range of games available. PSP first suffered from PS1/PS2 ports, developers were releasing ports of their playstation console games which made consumers loose interest in the system, but the scene has entirely changed now. PSP now has a huge array of exclusives including God Of War- Chains Of Olympus, wipeout pulse/pure, FF crisis core, Patapon, Loco roco, etc.

Savegames (Theme: In a Flow)

I started of with downloading and playing demos on PSP, demos are available on the PSP store. You can browse the store through PSP browser with wi-fi turned on. I downloaded demos through the PC store for PSP which was recently launched by Sony. Many other sites also do offer demos of various games. The graphics quality was beyond what I expected. Playing Ridge Racer and Vice city stories made me remember old PS1 and PS2 days. Other games I tried were Tennis and WWE Smackdown v/s Raw 2008. WWE looks impressive, all menus and modes present in the PS3 version of the game are present here. The game can be a good time-pass if played in multiplayer, but its hard to find a PSP gamer around to play on Ad-Hoc mode. I haven’t got a chance to explore wireless ability of PSP. I was not able to configure it properly, got some DNS error last time.

Before PSP I used to play games on my friends N81( yes n-gage! ), but N81 is not a gaming gadget (not considering the graphics) and to qualify as a gaming handheld the device has to have proper control buttons which a PSP provides, the D-pad and analog stick are really comfortable and ‘ox∆□’ buttons are equally responsive. Although you will miss the L2 and R2 buttons while playing PS1 eboots. If you are using CFW (Custom Firmware) you can enjoy playing classic Nintendo/Sega games through emulators.

UMD of various games are available for official price of 999/- INR, price depends on the discount the shop is providing. Offering movies in UMD’s has gone flop for Sony, you will rarely come across movie UMD’s in any shop.

Phew, I have written too much J, its not ‘all’ about PSP but this is what I have experienced so far with the handheld. Below are some points to remember before you go and get PSP (suggestions / corrections are welcome)

1 .CFW enables you to use wide range of free homebrew applications.

2 .Installing CFW violates warranty of your PSP.

3 .CFW can be installed after downgrading your PSP, in order to do this you will need a ‘Pandora Battery’.

4 .Go for only original memory sticks, fake ones give you all sorts of read/write errors. Spending few more bucks will ensure peace of mind.

One easy way to check that you have original memory stick is to put it in PSP -> switch on your PSP -> Photo -> Memory stick -> Hit the ‘triangle’ button on PSP ->Select information . Under MagicGate if ‘unknown’ is written then the memory stick is probably fake. You will get the memory stick with MagicGate printed on it and if you see ‘unknown’ written on it then it’s obviously fake.

5 .Get good quality headphones/earphones, PSP speakers won’t do the job satisfactorily. I suggest creative EP-630 or above.

6 .You can play PS1 games (eboots) on PSP.

7 .Get a cover for the slim, you don’t want it get scratched while putting in or taking out of your pocket. Get a screen guard too, really necessary. PSP is a finger print magnet.

8 .If you are getting it modded, make him do it in front of your eyes, check if the PSP still contains the original battery if the box was already open.

Currently I am just enjoying the default setup of PSP, but soon I will check the various plug-ins / applications available for PSP. Next time when I post, it will be regarding the homebrew games and apps. Screenshot capturer, file manager etc are some of the most useful apps I have heard about. I wanted to include screenshots of some games and apps with this review, but didn’t get chance to try it, will post some images soon if possible.

Okay, did some new things. Now not on the default bundled setup. Upgraded the firmware from 3.71 to 3.90 M33-3 and now using some plugins.

CXMB :
Change the look and feel of your XMB by using CTF themes after installing and enabling this plugin, it’s a must have.

Hold+2.4 :
Very useful plugin (saves battery charge), turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU (61 MHz). Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you hold the UP d-pad button when turning off the hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. This is useful if you just need to adjust the volume, fast forward/rewind, or to skip to the next song, without unnecessarily turning on the display. To return to normal, just press the Screen button. This plugin also fixes the irritating issue of accidently putting your PSP in stand-by mode while pushing the hold button up to release the PSP from keypad lock mode.

Screenshot plugin :
Allows you to take screenshots for the XMB and your favorite PSP games, hit the music button to take a screenshot. Also makes gif's of series of screenshot, but its not that useful. Some images in this review were taken by the screenshot plugin for 3.90

It's been more than a month since I got this gadget and I am enjoying every feature of it. Last Friday I went to Mumbai again and on my way I saw two movies on it 'Goal 2' and 'American Gangster' and enjoyed them a lot while everyone else in the bus was stuck with some movie 'Don No.1'(wth !!,hehe

) shown on video . Summing it up, If you are a gamer and like gaming on move then PSP is for you and apart from gaming it’s the best portable entertainment gadget within the price range of 9k . I will be upgrading the firmware soon and will try out 'IRshell for PSP'. When I do that I will post about it too, till then if anybody has any suggestions about installing homebrew on PSP please post them in forum.

Enjoy !

good review but at least change the picture of the psp(top) its a phat.

Good review!

Oh! Hehe yes, I will replace it with pic of my psp tommorow.

Very nice and comprehensive review..Good Work

Nice review..

^ Thx

Good first impressions. Congratulations on your purchase.

This is just in

With the code for Sony's official PlayStation Portable Firmware 4.0 already decrypted, it's only a matter of time before the next custom firmware finds its way into the community. To prove this point, homebrew developer Mathieulh recently revealed some of the new features that will be added into the upcoming Custom Firmware 4.00 that Dark AleX and team M33 are already working on.

One of the new features include an in-XMB recovery mode, which will allow users to change their settings straight from the PSP's main menu screen. This is definitely beats rebooting your PSP and entering recovery mode the normal way.

The other feature is the inclusion of savestate support for UMD games. Users will now be able to save their progress at any given time during gameplay and be able to load their game at that point after restarting. It has not yet been confirmed if the savestate feature will be integrated directly into the firmware or will be released as a separate plugin.

Savestates...convinient.

nice review

I didnt get this point...
When i buy a PSP it is modded to run pirated games. then the firmware is upgraded for better patches ,functionality etc.
These two things are little confusing to me. Is modding different from installing a custom firmware ? If so , for which step is the PANDORA BATTERY required ?

To be able to install a custom firmware(for the first time) ie. to replace the original Sony firmware on the device, you need to mod the PSP which is done using the Pandora battery.
After the custom firmware has been installed, you can upgrade to newer version of custom firmware simply by just running the setup file, which does not require the Pandora battery.

^^ like he said

Hmm, okay. So I'd better buy a pre-modded PSP Slim.
I ll follow the other thread for that. As you must have guessed i have decided to join the elite PSP owners group

^^ Welcome

Wow Excellent review

.. now im thinking of getting a PSP

As Tendulkar says, "Go get it.."

good review. can i install cfw on my psp with official firmware 3.93@play god of war it is freaking awersome.

OFW? you will need pandora battery in order to do that.
I upgraded 3.71 m33-2 cfw to 3.90 m33-3 , easy

.

i have psp phat do i still need pandora battery. any idea of firmware 4.00 or 4.00 m33

^^ For PSP phat the process is easy i suppose and does not need pandora batt , although I am not sure as i never chked for it. All i know that it is easy and less risky thing to do.

does anyone have pandora battery ??
i need it , seriously

If you live near Mumbai you can get your slim modded from there, although it is a 2 min task but the person may charge upto 500 for that. If you have a Phat psp then google for how to mod a phat.

i have slim and broke a battery already on making it pandora by lifting a IC. , Datal tools or Service battery is what i want . Pandora battery is multipurpose , not only to install CFW . but can unbrick any psp . also the service mode looks cool .!

Check some online resource, some site must be providing Pandora battery kit.

i am not able to install 4.01 m33. when i start installing from my psp it says"the game could not be started(80020148)"
what should i do??

You are installing it over CFW na? which version?

Make sure you have downloaded Sony 4.0 OFW in correct folder before running the CFW eboot.

The problem can also be because of corrupt download, i suggest you re-download it and try.

no cfw i have 3.95. i had both ofw and cfw in the same folder as said in the readme included.

Hmm,

Dark Alex does not list this CFW on his site , i think 3.95 is not by him (not sure). May be there is other way of installing in this case. The readme provided by DA may be applicable to his CFW only. Just a guess.

i've tried re downloading those files but it still doesn't work

its listed on the website.
here *dark-alex.org/index_psp.php

Girish I checked the page and could not find 3.95 , is your firmware 3.95 Gen or Gen-2 ?
I read somewhere that 4.0 Gen will be coming soon. Maybe you can wait till then.

You can try one thing , if you have any homebrew plugins enabled then disable them from recovery menu and try again with the upgrade process.

-----------------------

There is a option for network update mode in the recovery menu for 3.95 gen, options available there are Sony, GEN and M33 try selecting m33 and then update. Seriously i dont know a thing abt 3.95 gen , do it only if you know what you are doing. I read this somewhere so suggesting it.

---------------------

From what i have read so far GEN team modifies DA's CFW, so they will be releasing 4.0 gen soon as DA already released his CFW. Still you can try as there is no restriction that once on GEN then you have to be always on GEN. See this link

*sicksand.net/post/36836362/psp-cfw-3-95-gen-officially-released

sorry dude big mistake i have 3.93 not 3.95. do have to install 4.01 before installing m33. atw which fw do you use

I am using 3.90 m33-3 , no plans to install 4.01 until it becomes a necessasity. 4.0 is a whole new kernel , no homebrew for it yet and unlike phat i cannot use 1.5 kernel addon on my slim in order to use 1.5 supported homebrew apps.

Have you tried IR shell? I want to try but scared to implement it.

i have never used any custom firmware my luck is really bad please help me to install this one.can you give the link of 3.95 gen its really slow on my psp browser

Never used any CFW? the method listed iin the readme is for upgrading CFW to CFW only . You can not directly put CFW on Sony's orignal firmware.

so that means i cant install cfw on my psp??

Yes if you currently have orignal firmware on your PSP then you will have to downgrade it by pandora battery than install CFW on it. Or contact someone who can mod your PSP for you.

I own a phat version with the latest 4.01 m33-2. The thing I like the most is that I can customize it to the max! and I'm not saying to install a theme created by other but by me.

I think digit should make a detailed article on it. How to downgrade it via a pandora battery and others. I'm not saying that digit should make an article about iso's! but other things like custom theme, plugins and homebrews! and for the last time HOMEBREWS AINT A PIRACY THING!

Quite Impressive..Nice Review!

nice review!

Thx , I just downloaded and applied a screenshot plugin for the slim. Will be updating this review with some nice screenshots.

Need help regarding new purchase

Hi Brothers,
I own a PS2 and I am planning to buy a PSP Slim. I live in Mumbai. Can you kindly answer the following questions, as I believe in being prepared prior to buying the product.
1. Which is the best place to get a PSP Slim from in Mumbai with a warranty? And what’s the current price?
2. Where do I get free games from? Any sites or suggestions?
3. Do I need to buy a Pandora’s battery or anything else to effectively run my PSP Slim? If yes, where can I get all these additional accessories or software?
4. I do not understand what is the CFW and what do I need to do when I get a PSP Slim in order to run the downloaded free games? Is this too complex cause im not a techie and bad at tweaking things.
Please answer this and anything else you think I should know before I purchase this great gadget?

Check this thread ,

Review updated with images .

Thanks Bro,
The thread was useful and I know where to buy it from...However, I am still confused about the following.

1. I didnt understand.. Do we get the modded one usually or the unmodded one.

2. Do I need a UMD to play games from my mem stick, and where can I get that?

3. Where do I get free games from? Any sites or suggestions?

4. Do I need to buy a Pandora’s battery or anything else to effectively run my PSP Slim if I buy it from Heera Panna or anywhere else? Where can I get all these additional accessories or software?

Thanks once again

1. Its up to you what you want to buy, if you want to run homebrew apps get a modded one. Modded one will also allow you to play your PSP UMD backups.

2. If you are playing your game backup iso from your memstick you dont need UMD. You can also play games directly from your UMD game disc by inderting it into the UMD drive in PSP.

3. Suggestion goes against forum rules. UMD's are priced around 900 INR

4. If you get already modded slim, you dont need pandora to run homebrew or your UMD backups. Pandora batt is needed to downgrade PSP and install CFW for the first time. About availability of accesories ask some Mumbai guy. post your query in official PSP discussion thread.

3. Where do I get free games from? Any sites or suggestions?

it is not illigal , you can download free games from www.thepir ... no from *store.playstation.com/game here (you need to sign your psp to download the games there )

1. I didnt understand.. Do we get the modded one usually or the unmodded one.

If u hv deep pockets to buy games priced at Rs.1500/- as available in the markets, u can hv the PSP left unmodded..

btw, u ALWAYS get a PSP in an UNMODDED state, the modding has to be elsewhere (from a shop, ofcourse)

2. Do I need a UMD to play games from my mem stick, and where can I get that?

No, U do not need a UMD to play games stored onto ur mem stick. U can get the UMD from shops which hv games on it priced at Rs.1500/- and for the Mem stick, U will hv to buy it separately known as a SANDISK Memory Stick Pro Duo (MSPD) wich comes in various capacities like 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and price of approx. Rs.700, Rs.1000 and Rs.1500 respectively...

3. Where do I get free games from? Any sites or suggestions?

Well, buddy, we d/load it from torrents(google it for that), But d/loaded games ONLY WORK on a MODDED psp

4. Do I need to buy a Pandora’s battery or anything else to effectively run my PSP Slim if I buy it from Heera Panna or anywhere else? Where can I get all these additional accessories or software?

Thanks once again

Well, u DO NOT need a Pandora batt, its needed only wen u wanna downgrade ur firmware (for example from firmware 3.90 to firmware 3.80) i.e install a previous version of the firmware

Where would u get a 4GB for 1500? I didnt find it anywhere... Also, the alfa fellow was not sure whether it was modded..He got puzzled I guess...where can i buy a modded psp except ninja electronics.
I do not want to spend per game 1000-1500...cause I would like to have a wide variety...I would prefer having them on a memory card. Can anyone get me games on a cd/dvd copied from their pc? As many as possible? I am happy to pay for it. If interested, please mail me on feedmespeed@gmail.com with ur contact number. (mumbai only)

Can anyone tell me if they have used this? Whats the functionality of this, and is it worth buying?
Also can you ppl list any peripherals u have used and whats ur experience with it (with details from where u got it from of course) Thanks guys.

Hey Ashu, I called the Ninja guy. He said Rs. 8990 for PSP. (Prices are same since so many months ) I need to ensure when I buy that he doesnt charge me for modding it. Can you accompany me on Saturday to purchase it? Where is your residence buddy? BTW, my number is 9870720304. Just for ur note.

Well, I hv just completed my 4 yrs of I.T Engineering from Mumbai and awating results, and i live in goregaon and prep. for MBA..

well, i wud accompany u dude, but im down with a hair line fracture on my leg, so its a NO NO from the doc and from my mom especially..else she will burn my @$$ ..lol..

Well, do not worry, that guy DOES NOT BUDGE and he will NOT LOWER the Price for modding, as i had to pay him an extra Rs.500/- for modding, so maybe u'll be charged too... CArry extra cash with u (Rs.1000/-) apart from Rs.8990/-

Yup, Rs.8990/- is the cost of PSP he charged from me also, along with Rs.500/- for modding and Rs.200/- for a crystal case (i hv posted the screenshots on pg2,3 in GAMERZ section of the PSP thread) u can see that...

Ashu,
Kya yaar..Ki haal hai.. Getting impatient man...cant wait for saturday to buy my console.... Mail me man..keep in touch... feedmespeed@gmail.com
btw what do u do? working? studying?

Already replied above..well yes currently studying for MBA, yes i can feel ur impatientness..

and its really hard to resist...

Hey ALL,

Found this great supplier from Chandigarh who supplied all possible PSP accessories and stuff...

*www.lynx-india.com/index.php?show_price=yes

just check it out..im not sure about the prices though...

Well, the grip makes the PSP looks like a PS2 or sum kinda larger futuristic JOYstick

, but it looks good

No other website has it, either in mumbai...so i cant compare prices, but yes judging from the fact that a simple hard crystal (transparent) casing for PSP is Rs.500/-, so this is a good price...

However, u do not need that for a PSP, as PSP on the hands is really stable and buttons easily accessible..

I seriously do not know why people pay for modding their PSP.

I bought my PSP some 8-9 months back, a slim one.
Within 1 hour of buying it, I already modded it to run Custom firmware.

It just requires a little patience and a little research (Google). Within 1 hour, you can mod it. It is not necessary that you need a friend's PSP/Pandora battery. You can just make the Pandora battery yourself - and after modding you can convert it back to a normal battery also.

Well, I am feeling too lazy right now to type in a modding tutorial. Maybe in the near future.

check google..lots of options..u can make the pandora bat urself too....
i am yet to buy one..but will mod it myself...

sreenisatish said:

May be they don't want to risk their shining new gadget which they bought with their hard earned money, or may be they dont have enough resources to mod it themselves.

A tut will be helpful though.

I dont know man...I am not a techie and dont wanna brick my PSP. I think its better to have it modded for 500 bucks and be tension free for life..what if i do something wrong? 9k down the drains...but i may be wrong in thinking this...i dunno

^^^.....

yeas ur correct and yeas ur wrong....

ur correct coz the 500 to a pro is worth it...no tensions...done in mts..otherwise research..learning...trial and error...

ur wrong coz ..u will only brick it..and u can fix it easily....so 9k wont be drained...

come to think i will also get a modded one...

Guys I am planning to buy a PSP. can anybody tell me where can i buy a Modded one or where can i mod it after buying.

How much does a psp battery cost? And is anyone using 'high stamina' batteries?

feedmespeed said:

Lemme see... I had posted a tutorial some time back in the PSP India Community in Orkut.. lemme see if I can dig it up.

hyde said:

Hey..depends on where ur location is. If you are in Mumbai, you can purchase from Ninja Electronics (lamington road) (modded) or Croma (unmodded) and get it modded from Ninja. I too am gonna buy this weekend. Maybe tmmrw or latest Saturday.

Hey All,

Has anyone played via PSP on their TV screens? Whats the screen size it comes in.. for eg. If I have a 21 inch TV, how much part of the screen is dedicated to gaming (30%, 50% etc..)?
What about the sound?

Thanks.

I believe there is a homebrew plugin named FUSA which allows you to display content fullscreen irrespective of sony's limitation of the type of TV or the content. Google for more info.

^^

adding to that, i guess the IRSHELL also has ths facility,, as far as i remember... but, i guess the screen quality will be really bad (if it is sretched more than wat the sony's limitation is..)if it is a windowed mode game on TV then it wud be good...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to ALL

Guys, the Official PSP discussion thread in the gamerz section has jus vanished away, i mean its not available adn not even in a locked state.. i hv already PMed Pathik and mehulved abt it... lets seewat replies i get...

--------------------------

Cheers n e-peace....

I had subscribed to that thread. A email was sent by digit:

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
Pathik: Don't you think this thread is encouraging piracy? I don't know how could you let this thread goin like this!
***************
Did he delete the thread?

Edit: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94788
Yes its deleted.

S

Yes the thread has been deleted.Damn!!!IMHO If someone in the thread is talking about piracy then his post should be deleted from the thread and a warning should be issued to the concerned person instead of deleting the whole thread,well according to me the thread was very informative and useful for noobies.It was like a one stop solution for all PSP related queries,experiences ans what not.
Mods listening??
If i'm missing anything here then i'm sorry but I still strongly believe that deleting offensive posts is far better than deleting the whole thread itself.

^^^

what u missed was..if u really wanted to kep that thread clean u should have used PM's..whatever hobbies u want to do in psp..all know first one is loading games iso....so in a sense that thread became the unofficial underground of psp modding and hacking...

Only thing is to continue the thread here and keep clean of modding....whatever maybe the use..use PM's

^^ Yes , guys avoid talking abt piracy. this thread we only talk abt homebrew apps and modding. Don't ask/ tell about pirating iso's.It''s totally against forum rules. Resposible persons should get warning instead of deleting this thread.

^^ hey i guess im behind all this, coz i was telling abt ISO LOADING

(if this also comes under piracy..)

well it was jus a mistake guys....i really had no intentions to get that thread banned ( if it was really me).. not sure....

so a big apology to all u guys....

feeling really embarassed...

Just came to know that new PSPs come with a cpu+ta-088 board that doesn't allow cfw, unlike ta-085. What is the one available in India?

Also *www.sony.co.in/product/psp+2004/sku/psp-2008%2Fbp%2Fbk?site=hp_en_IN_i, the battery capacity is shown as 1800mAh. I thought the one that slim comes is 1200mAh. Mistake?

I think in India the older PSPs are still in the marketm, the ones wich allow cfw...

wtf !!!!

AFAIR, a few posts were there in the old thread which mentioned abt illegal stuffs and those should have been deleted (and properly "modded")instead of the whole thread.. that was a really nice informative thread... !!!!

Anyways, did u guys know about Ubuntu 7.10 for PSP? Though that is only the kernel running, it is pretty cool. Tried it out last night and it IS definitely awesome. The only drawback is that the language is french and no English versions are available, though one will definitely come out sometime sooner or later.... till then enjoy guys ...

Hey tarey,silly question but wanna know,how do you install that plugin..??Still have not modded my PSP,gonna get it done this saturday,that guy is giving me a free DVD full of ......well..anyways can you also list some nice plugins,do mention d difficulty level in installing them if there is any.???Can you??Thanx in advance.

Oh ya you better PM me if you think that installing stuff(plugins) comes under illegal category or something.

No, its not illegal. Every plugin comes with a readme, you will easily do it after reading it. If any problems post it here.

Does dead/stuck pixels problem still exists in the PSP-2000?

No dead pixels on my PSP atleast, chkd it while purchase.

S

shri said:
Does dead/stuck pixels problem still exists in the PSP-2000?

Apparently they do sometime.Thats why whenever you buy PSP from a store ask for the store internal warranty a.k.a in big stores like Reliance Electronics and Chroma,they will open and show you the device.Now at that time you can check if the screen is faulty.Even if the screen is fine at that time or you dint notice dead pixels @ that time,These stores give you a week's time to replace your device("no questions asked",type of replacement),Not that after a week time they won't replace it.
Now again Sony's policy for dead pixels is,If you have 5 or more dead pixels on ur LCD and your device is in warranty period then they will change the screen for free.

@ tarey: Hey that problem of PSP not detecting got solved,it was the Damn faulty cable,got it changed.Also my HOLD LED isn't working(it glows very very feeble),I went to change it but Reliance guy showed me other PSPs with the same problem and he said he can't help me with it as all of the PSPs are acting like that.I wasn't convinced but dint change it as its a cosmetic problem.

And for video conversion I got a software "Xilisoft video converter 3",It has a profile for PSP video conversion,damn easy and fast to convert and the results are impressive too.Thought I let know others

Sharx, thx for the tip. I'll try that software. Can you tell me what are the details of the output video you get from this software, and what will be the resulting size if i convert a 700MB divx and the timee taken for the operation..

I am facing this too. Apparently all PSPs are this way. Hold doesn't have an LED. It seems its just a yellow filter. BTW, bought a PSP yesterday...

^^ Congrats.

congrats shri

for the new PSP

shri said:

Oh thats sad,in fact I thought the LED is giving some light coz of diffusion glow from the power LED but later checking it in darkness found that it actually glow(but so feeble that u can ignore it)

As i said its a cosmetic flaw so I don care much about it,even the guy at reliance Digital told me that he was kinda helpless over it and if there are any functionality breach he will surely change my device.

Anyways many congrats on ur new purchase..

@ Tarey:It encodes in 368*208 resolution(full screen) and the quality is pretty amazing,the converted movie will be of 400MB approx(depends on movie length,audio and video bit rate ur setting).And the conversion time time is close to 1hr and some minutes(mind you I'm having a very old system so probably its taking this much time).Anyways the best part of the software is,its bloody easy to use it and u can set desired audio and video bit rates like a piece of cake.
Haven't modded my PSP yet

and don have that snapshot plugin

otherwise wud have posted some pics of the output.

^^ Hey thx for the update

. It takes similar time for me to convert by PSP video9 on my PC , I also use same resolution. I will check the performance on this software on same config.

Somebody knows any plugin which makes PSP recognize folders beyond one level. By default PSP can access ms0:\folder\subfolder but fails to recognize ms0:\folder\subfolder\subfolder2 .

This is the most irritating thing, because of this I cant manage my music collection on PSP properly. WTf

@tarey_g, @ashu888ashu888
Thanks guys. I'm having a tough time finding magic gate supported memory sticks. Any online shops that offers it at reasonable price?

@ shri

buddy, if u live in Mumbai, u can get it in good Computer Stationary shops like the Anupam branches in Andheri West, Goregaon East, Borivili area...

In general: jus ask for Memory Stick Pro Duo (wich is ofcourse from Magic gate company) for Digital cameras...

Hv u searched on ebay.in ? if u live in Mumbai and still not finding it, i purchased it from goregaon east, a 4GB MSPD (Memory Stick pro duo) of magic gate will cost Rs.1600/- with 1 yr warranty, similarly a 1 GB MSPD=Rs.700/-, 2 GB MSPD=Rs.1050/-
________________________

Cheers n e-peace....

^^ Correction , MagicGate is a copy protection tecnology, we dont need it for the PSP but since all MSPD's these days by default come with these so it comes handy to recognize the orignal ones from the fake ones. The fake mem sticks will also have magicGate written over them but they wont support it .
You can get orignal sandisk MSPD from *www.lynx-india.com/ for about 1800/- approx.

4GB one is listed here *www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=1152

Personally never got anything from this website, but it seems good.

S

Yes but there are instances where if ur memory stick isn't Magic gate certified,it leads to hangups while gameplay and some jitters in video playing..Not very sure of it but other users of these fake MS say that.Anyways,In bangalore you can get an orig one from so many places,like from golcha on S.P road and from big stores like chroma and reliance.Better take ur PSP with you,check the MS and then buy it,you can buy a fake one under 800 bucks but with Magic gate support it costs arnd 1800.

nope no problem with a fake memory card. working fine for about 6 months or so.

Is magic gate supported stick absolutely necessary to install custom firmware?

no idea. as i didn't mod my psp myself. but that guy used some magic memory stick while installing custom firmware

I want this , any idea from where can I get this cover..

its easy to get them out from India but here, its really tough one, maybe if we talk to ninja wala guy maybe (maybe) he can arrange it for us in a bulk order...

I just now opened up the battery. Its a real pain to open it. Needs a lot of patience. Put everything back after looking at the board. Didn't have the guts to try the track cut method or bridge contacts...

Heya All,
Just got my PSP today. Not from Ninja, but from S.P. Sales, a shop just ahead of Ninja and around the bend on the same side. He gave me a nice deal. The Ninja guy maybe charges all a non-negotiable cost maybe cause he has got a clue his name is being used someplace to buy PSP's :!:

U can get a PSP at least 300 bucks cheaper here.
The 4 gb original sandisk memory card cost me 1700 and 200 for the crystal case.
He charges 100 per game. I got 2 of them, Brian Lara Cricket and Metal Gear Solid 2. Until I get more games

I forgot to take the USB cable, so have not tried the music or videos

But the gaming experience till now is awesome...I can only imagine how will it be when I get better games...I have yet to buy a decent set of ear phones....getting confused which one to buy...can anyone advise on the best?
Until next time....happy gaming...

And a special thanks to Ashu, who has been my guide throughout making this decision.. Thanks pal.. :smile:

Happy gaming all..

^^

congrats man

:

1.) well for the USB, buy the usb cable wich is used to connect the mobile phone to the PC i mean i think its known as the USB-to-Mini USB cord.... i hope u got it wat it looks like....

2.) u shud hv purchased the CREATIVE EP 630 STEREO EAR PHONES... it costs Rs. 650/- in Lam rd. and also check out at alfa...

BUT BUT... if u plan to buy it from a mall. it will be heavily priced at Rs.1200/- so better check out at alfa or any shop nearby ur area..

3.) check ur email... too

-----------------------

man wats d cost of PSP slim n lite??

8990 official

Off Topic:

Hey guys, I see that many of you already had a PS2... I intend to get one solely for playing God of War 1 and 2. Will it be feasible to get one from US ($129.99) and mod it OR get one from India local (I guess modded ones are available freely)? Can any of you please let me know what is the current price of a modded PS2 in kolkata and from where (which shop/store esp. in Chandni Chowk) can I buy it? Also, is it feasible/possible to hook up the PS2 to PC via TV Tuner card and use my home CRT 17" monitor as its display ???? I have minimal knowledge pertaining to consoles. PSP is my official first console and I am simply blown away by GOW: chains of olympus (playing it the 5th time right now and simply can't stop).. and wanna eagerly experience the rest of GOW series..... Thanks in advance..

well, dont knw abt the availability of modded PS2's

but original PS2 cost Rs.6990/- official....and its better to buy it from India...

Well i m loving my new PSP .. Its just an awesome gadget ... Gr8 sound quality , giant display ! well havem't tried my hands on gaming yet coz i haven't modded it !

But , i m too looking for the covers for it .. both crystal and hard cover ! BTW guys , whats the battery backup of ur PSP's on full on music and videos ?

Are there any softwares available for the OFW ? And , which app shud i use to get a movie with smallest size and gr8 quality to transfer to device !

Thanks much ashu888...

^^
not a problem mate;; : )
--------------------

to BB:

buddy, u can google for PSP VIDEO CONVERTER and it will convert ur videos from PC to ur PSP compatible format,...

with gr8 quality too.. so be rest assured..

as for the crystal case, it better to buy that as the PSP is much more safe.. u'll get it for Rs.200/-

^^ lol cool covers yaar, from where do u get so many pics of PSP cases ??

its easy to get them out from India but here, its really tough one, maybe if we talk to ninja wala guy maybe (maybe) he can arrange it for us in a bulk order...

Some of them are available here in Pune, but at rediculous price. Lynx-india site is selling them for less, i guess i will order from there.
btw, are the games on the way ?

BBThumbHealer said:

I highly recommend you using the Hold plugin for saving battery while listening to mussic, it shuts down th screen fully and underclocks your PSP to save power. Last night i was listening songs on PSP for abt one hour and the battery drained was just 3%.

I am gonna leave forr my hometown on 14th on 5 days vacation. Journey is 16+ hrs , i have my psp loaded with two movies(and 1.5 gig of music) to keep me occupied.

damn, nothing is available here in India.

^^ the games are on the way buddy, i think feedmespeed (ritesh) willl get them today by courier that i'd sent him few days back...

btw, if u order for PSP cases, do ask me too, as i'll too tell u and u and maybe the other guys as well here and then we can place a bulk order for any ONE of the selected cases..

-------------------------

@shark plz edit ur post containing the so called modification thingy... as its against the forum rules....
-------------------------

cheers n e-peace...

-----------------

wat is this HOLD plugin ?? ios it a s/ware to be used for the PSP ?? pl;z giv a small description... tarey...
---------------

Hold+2.4 :
Very useful plugin (saves battery charge), turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU (61 MHz). Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you hold the UP d-pad button when turning off the hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. This is useful if you just need to adjust the volume, fast forward/rewind, or to skip to the next song, without unnecessarily turning on the display. To return to normal, just press the Screen button. This plugin also fixes the irritating issue of accidently putting your PSP in stand-by mode while pushing the hold button up to release the PSP from keypad lock mode.

btw, if many ppl need the Aluminium case(See attachment) or the logitech one above then the bulk order is possible , I just know the guy for this job.

^ attachment isn't opening ...

yup some prob with attachment , btw . The Logitech Playgear slim cover is coming on Aug 26 2008 and will cost 15$ (link)

Whoever wants it , pls post it here . If we have enough collective orders we can get it from a dealer at fair price. Its awesome cover, has openings for charging input and earphone socket, power switch, and also doubles as a stand. see the pics in previous post.

I want it , and i think ashu also wants one. Tell me so we can preorder.

Wats the battery backup of ur PSP's guys ?

@ tarey:
+1 for the alumi case

@ BB:
Did u mean the battery life of the PSP ?? after a single charge ?? well i hv played games on it for a duration of 4-5 hrs b4 it gets OFF manually (due to low power)

@ everyone:
the battery for PSP mentioned on the lynx site says it has capacity of 30hrs and 20hrs for 2200mh and 2600 mh resp.

Guys, who want the casing for the PSP, plz post ur yes/no the next time u post here

-----------------------------

Cheers n e-peace....

---------------

or if u guys hv any other choices too, plz post them here

--------------

The trader is saying that he can not take individual orders, so he il not be ordering the case just for me

. Guys whoever wants it pls inform .

Also which one you prefer , the Aluminium one or the Logitech one?

+1 for Logitec

+1 for Alumni case too

Confirmed..modded PS2 in alfa @ 6500.

Bad news for Slim PSP owners,
I had a chat with one trader and he told me the Logitech one for Slim will cost 1200/- INR for single order. The aluminium one will cost around 900/- .

Good news for Phat PSP owners ,
I talked to lynx-india shop guy, he said he has the logitech one in stock but for the phat PSP, slim PSP can also fit in it but it rattles inside and the headphone socket is slightly on different position. cost is 500/- approx (as listed on website)

@feedmespeed , chk your PM.

hmmm...

im still GAME ON for the slim cases...the logitec one...if we bulk order it maybe the price can cum dwn from 1200 ...wat say tarey ??

there is no point in buying from lynx india as the case is for a FAT PSP, so the slim will jus rattle inside creating scratches and sound...
-------------

Cheers n e-peace...

^^ NO chances that we will find many ppl wanting that case.

^^

i also think the same way...

tarey_g said:

Yes man i also think so,its kinda on the higher side..anyways I shall be posting my cover pics by this wknd(li'le busy right now so)..

Also does anyone know about PSP 250 battery,a guy told me about it and told its a powerful battery for PSP slim..I don know the specs so asking..
I personally think a cover more than 600 is on the higher side so better to save money and invest in an extra more powerful battery(or an extra MS maybe) after all v don want to be disturbed when gaming..

coz of d damn battery running out..its also helpful when ur travelling..

^ +1

^^

+1

PSP extra life battery has been discontinued by Sony(just two days ago). So those who want it should buy now or you wont see any in stock after some time.

I want that Aluminium case as it will just fit the psp andcan easily slide in my pockets too. Damn !!

Ya tarey I know about it,but anyways its not officially available in India from the begining itself so needn't worry

moreover Its the sony's standard 1800mah battery(phat battery for PSP slim)which is discontinued(correct me if i'm wrong) so..

Anyways which cover you have tarey??
and other psp gamers,which cover you have?
Personally I dint go for a crystal case coz it scratches PSP corners (and sometime screen edges) like it does to cell phones,so I have a hard cover and a screen guard on my PSP and to keep a tab on fingerprints I keep a soft cloth(d one which comes wid spects

) in my cover..

im planning to buy either the 2200mah(30 hrs) or the 2600mah (20 hrs) battery for the PSP slim from lynx india...

lets see wen i buy it...as it is they hv writteh it offers 20 hrs and 30 hrs of batt. power to the psp...i asked them if this power was really 20 hrs on playing games or watching movies!! so there was no reply from their side..

tarey, if u can contact them, can u ask this plz (from my side) as a favour...

btw, did u get the DVDss (from ritesh) ?

Your trader is lying there is NO logitech case for PSP slim , check the site it self it offeres only one case , don't pay the 1200 rupess it will be a fake one you do can your search on the net, if you don't believe me.

I don't how much you guys trust me , i have 500 rupess version & it fits perfectly on my PSP slim the only thing problem is the headphone jack little off but its fits perfectly , it doesn't rattles even a bit. & tarry are sure that aluminium one allows on to use headphones when the case is closed , i don't think its even branded.
The best bet is logitech Playgear PSP or there is one another case which tried to look for couldn't find it , that's the only another one i know its branded , let's play games, music , video when the case is closed & ITS the best case for PSP slim IMO.

*www.amazon.com/Sony-PSP-Slim-Syste...ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1208501193&sr=1-1

If you guys find this case anywhere please contact me otherwise Logitech playgear PSP is your best bet.

Guys whats the difference between Lite & Slim? Slim>Lite?

^^ its the same, since it is SLIM , it is lite (light in weight) so the name slim and lite

-----------

Cheers n e-peace...

So is there only 1 PSP in the market?

^^

well, as of current, YES

also, this is the 2nd version of the PSP known as PSP 2000, the previous one was a bluky (double the thickness of the SLIM psp) known as PSP PHAT (fat) it is not available anymore..

also, the psp slim (a.k.a psp slim adn lite) is much more advanced, has a lot of processing power and added internal RAM for smoother gameplay..

there are definitive and confirmed news of a 3rd version of PSP a.k.a PSP 3000 to be launched in the near future, there are no actual dates for its release adn its still in testing conditions..

ppl say that it will be touch screen with a phone built in as welll..
------------------

cheers n e-peace...

Adding to your confusion , new model of PSP was unveiled today

*pspupdates.qj.net/Leipzig-PSP-3000...ls-bundles-for-North-America/pg/49/aid/123266

^^

yup, the new psp, a.k.a PSP 3000 will retail for Rs.13000 (approx) or euro 199 from OCt, 2008 .. it has abuilt in microphone support, but i guess there is no dual analog stick, jus the one one it.. and yes no major improvement.. either in looks or in features..

instead, sony is trying to make the new PSP (PSP 3000) anti pandora.. i.e ppl no longer will be able to use pandora batt, to down/up grade their psps... hence NO CFW or HOMEBREW...

Also, the PSP3000 will be shipped with 3 new games fifa 2009 and dont knw wat...along with a 4GB MSPD...(all crap, as if we were jus dying to buy the new PSP jus for the 3 new games and a new MSPD wich costs jus Rs.1500/- here in India..) :angry:

btw, there were many ppl who wrote "Y we shuldn't buy the new PSP", here were their comments..(and i totally agree with them) hv a read below.. guys...

Who knows there might be Psp-4000, Psp-5000, Psp-6000, Psp-7000 too in the near future, in the circle of PSP's lifespan.

There is nothing so great of buying a new " cherry on the top " psp just for the sake of few improvements, Unless it has 2 analog sticks, it's not an improvement at all. After all , it's still the PSP , not PSP2.

well, unless you do not have a psp yet, the 3000 is worth a consideration, although psp-2000 is good enough.

----------------------------------

if the next psp is called the psp 280000001 with 2 analogs, an even bigger screen, easier user interface, and bundle with a new katamari game then i will buy it.

I loved this comment

----------------------------------

So True my slim works just as good as a 3000 with out 2 things but thats why have a headset and that new screen dont care about BUT if sony made a psp with 4 triggers and 2 joysticks and can play ps2 i would be the frist too buy it

----------------------------------

Cheers n e-peace...

Yeah, makes no sense until PSP2 comes. PSP slim FTW!

Is there any plugin or any function that allows the video playback to be of full screen on the PSP irrespective of the resolution of the video ?

To be more precise , like the zoom feature in televisions !

^^ You can play the vid on fullscreen, hit triangle and choose resize from the options available. It will retain the resolution ratio.

^ there's no option of screen resize ... only option of screen mode which has the sub modes of original and normal ! i m on OFW 3.95 ! does this needs CFW ?

^^ Nah , those are the modes supported , serves my purpose. I think you want to fit any video on the screen, ignoring the aspect ratio ,right?

^ yup !

I will inform if I find such plugin.

bhaiyo me to buying a psp but will it be easy to mod and what if i am unable to ? then it will become paper weight ??

^^

the PSP slim and lite is easy to mod (but do not try it urself, as being a noob at this, u can brick it easily if nt done properly)...no further details regarding modding can be discussed further here as per forum rules..

---------------

Cheers n e-peace...

@ Gaurav , thnx buddy !

@ Krates , IMO get ur PSP modded from a professional....they charge a max. of Rs. 500 /- ( Rs. 200/- in Delhi )... they just do it in 5 mins. ! The process is a bit complicated and if u do it urself , there's a chance that ur mite get ur PSP bricked ! Once u get it done by a pro. , it wil give u peace of mind !

hey even i m plannin' 2 buy PSP by 2morrow i'll get it......but even 1 thnig is eating my head i.e. is about PS2 wht should i buy......help needed

ooh ok ok..

well see if u like gamin on a big screen like tv, u can go in for PS2 (Rs.6990/- official) but if u want a portable gaming solution, then go in for a PSP (Rs.8990/- Official)....

PS2 is a bit bulky as compared to the PSP...but yes gaming on both of the consoles is pure fun..

also, u can get either of them modded...(wich ever u plan to buy)

psp 3000 is out

psp - 3000 is out
Didn’t take Sony too long now did it, the PSP-3000 has been officially announced at Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig. Sony president David Reeves announced that PSP-3000 will go on sale this October, starting on the 15th, it will have a price of 199€ and will be a bundle pack including a 4gb memory card plus a game. The standalone PSP-3000 will be priced at $169 and will be out later this year.*pspslimhacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/psp-30012.jpg
The new model is *just* *pspslimhacks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif a hardware refresh, it has a built-in microphone, an enhanced LCD screen with significantly less glare and more vibrant colors. Its also sports a smoother design and look over the PSP Slim. Unfortunatly thats it, no hard-drive, no 65nm CPU or increased battery life it seems or any of our wishes. I guess that will happen in the PSP2 ?

Shop no 12.Just wanted to verify,how much does 4GB mem stick cost?

^ Thnx ... I purchased the original MS PRO Duo from Sandisk for Rs 1650 /- ( Not from Palika ) ... Didn't go for the fake ones , they were retailing for Rs 1000/- for 4GB and 1800 for 8GB.

hey can some1 plz tell me how 2 know fake PSP....

^^

there hv not been any fake PSPs in the market yet, believe me.. but even if u insist, i wud hv checked for the foll for a fake and a real psp..

well, not exactly how to differentiate b/w a real and a fake one, but yes, the original PSP will hv a crisp color on its body and it will be a shiny one, so shiny that u can easily put finger marks on it, the buttons are all nicely studded and fit into the console w'out any loose buttons, the ON-OFF button at the side of the PSP is really smooth to operate as it will slide smoothly forward and then back (automatically) wen switched ON or OFF..

I just messed up with the screen guard and wasted my 150 bux.Will need to get another one now

Why does it frikkin form air bubbles?

^^

buddy, i didnt apply a screen protector for the PSP, but using a tough plastic case (crystal cover case) for the PSP adn its really worth it..

Yup, i knw how hard we try those air bubbles jus come in the way, if u still wanna apply it, jus take ur PSP to the local mobile wala and tell him to apply the screen film...

Hey Guys , i wanna request u ppl something ... can anyone of u make an image in the actual shape and size of Sony PSP faceplate and put a large logo of PSP along with the text " Sony Playstation Portable " ?

Actually , i m gonna get that printed on a paper and then insert it in my PSP's crystal cover ! It will hide the black shock absorber's surface !

Thnx in anticipation !

hey frndz bought my new PSP

^^ Congrats

Sorry to bump in
But, whats the Price of all the PSP variants in the market?
I'm planning to buy one in the next 2 months (financial constraints

)

PS

well, if u wanna buy it within 2 months, then i must caution u bcoz sony as they hv launched their new version of PSP known as the PSP 3000, they hv plans to PHASE OUT all the existing PSP Slim and Lite versions (wich is priced at Rs.8990/- official) with the Rs. 13000/- sumthing console, well thats the official news so obviously, if u plan to buy it in 2 months time, it may be a HIGH possibility tat u will not get the current PSP SLIM & LITE version... so plan ur purchase with care...

btw, there is also a 2nd bad news that the new PSP is CFW proof i. e pandora battery proof..so u might jus not be able to mod it too..
--------------

Cheers n e-peace...

I agree with ashu888ashu888. My two week old PSP has the TA-088 board. Now, if you check some website will come to know that the next version has the TA-088 with the new CPU that doesn't allow modding. So buy fast.

^^ Get it modded from the shopkeeper, if he fails don't buy or else if it works then be happy, you just got a PSP from old modifiable stock.

But is a modded one necessary?
I mean, what features can be incorporated in a modded one that is not there in the normal build?

^^ Homebrew !!

thewisecrab said:

the first and foremost reason is that u can play games w'out buying costly rs.1500/-umd's..

has anyone tried internet thru PSP? i can't login in orkut and similar sites for example.

S

I can login to digit on PSP.Do you use WiFi?

^^ Obviously, is there any alternative to WIFI ?

S

Dunno.

Well tried some new stuff on PSP, posting some screens.

i agree with u buddy, i think many ppl jus didint find a good PSP fsp game hence were of the opinion tat fps sucks.. but now i hv another companion supporting me, as you..

And dude...keep in touch via mails...will call u tmmrw maybe...ciao dude...and stay amongst bikes only on the PSP for now ..

yup, i knw y u giving me tat advice

thanx for it..
-------------------------------

btw, i am planning to buy a 8 GB MSPD , is it available in Mumbai ?? wat cost ? and is it suppored by our PSP models ??? (PSP 2000 consoles)

I knw tat a 4 GB MSPD (sandisk) wil lcost me Rs.1600/- (original)
--------------------------------

Cheers n e-peace...

------------------

btw, all the 3 SOCOM titles are awesome, and the response from the AI commandos (a.k.a Navy seals military tat the user controls)...the graphics are awesome adn the best part is the sniping, stealth and objectives in the game...

of all the 3 SOCOM titles, Tactical Strike has the best graphics followed by Fireteam bravo and fireteam bravo 2 (in descending order, that is)

also, the controls in all the 3 titles are really smooth and the analog stick is really responsive wich allows me to control my team of commandos really well..

the enemy AI in fireteam bravo 2 is really smart and they will attack u if u try to sneek past ur stealth and uncover it...

the really gr8 thing abt this SOCOM titles is the head shots are really satisfying (u can compare them to the smoothness of CS titles)....
-----------------------------

also, a wide array of guns and sniper weapons available as u progress one-by-one thru the various missions of the game, successfully and at the end of each successful mission, u will be graded on 4 criteria:
1.) How stealthly u/ur team was
2.) the hit success
3.) how well the team was co ordinating in completing the pri and sec. obj.
4.) individual grades of each team member based on no, of kills, stealth maintained,damage received in-game)
-----------------------

the weapons really sound different from one another and wen using a silencer (on a gun) known as a suppressor, u can actually hear a silenced gunshot hitting ur enemy, surprising him out-of-the-blue..and eventually killing him...
------------------------

In SOCOM Fireteam, u cannot carry a medikit with u (to revive u incase u are shot) but in SOCOM tactical strike and in fireteam bravo, u hv the option of carrying 1 adn 5 medkits resp.
-------------------------

u can sneak past ur enemy so up-close (without even him knowing abt it) in tactical strike tat u can really land in a knife kill from behind, where as this option of a knife kill (stealth kill) is absent in fireteam bravo and bravo 2, but instead of a knife kill, u can shoot the enemy in the leg or in the arm, and if u are really lucky to land in this kinda shot, then u can go upto him and make him ur "enemy captured" alive (wich is really helpful in u getting extra exp. points wich will eventually help u in further missions and also unlock new weapons)..

-----------

@ ashu - Gosh..looks like u really have been playing only Socom....Ur making it sound too interesting... How is syphon filter? Played the demo...was pretty good..better than SOCOM? Or which is better? I would love to have them pal...so tell me when r u meeting me? lol..

(greedy me)

About MSPD - I dont know about the rates, but our PSP does support a 8GB mc cause the place from where I bought my PSP, the guy asked me whether to put a 4 or a 8 gb card.
The lynx guy is selling this for 3550 *www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=827. Check it out in lamington road...or alfa..

@tarey - would be great if u could give me any phone number (via pm) I can write on the package to be sent to u.

Well i hv jus NOT touched Syphon Filter, will try it later...coz as u said im immensly into SOCOM, hv finished 3 missions in all the 3 titesl of SOCOM

and yes i guess SOCOM will beat any game hands down mainly bcoa u hv a team rather than a single player in it.. btw, tried KILLZONE LIBERATION and the graphics are awesome too.. will post abt it later..

About MSPD - I dont know about the rates, but our PSP does support a 8GB mc cause the place from where I bought my PSP, the guy asked me whether to put a 4 or a 8 gb card.

ohh thats good to hear yaar..well i may buy a 4GB or a 8GB one...probably in 2-3 days time

Regarding 8 GB MSPD support... yes, PSP Slim does support it. I have the Sony original 8 GB Mark II edition (MG) and it works flawlessly.... with all the stuff thats on it, only 200 MB is free.... and the access speed is simply sleeek !!!!!!

Ya sure , this is the case (pics not from my unit, i found the pics of the same case while googling). Simple one

ok guys , my 3.5 months old 4GB MS pro duo is on sale , who wants it ?

feedmespeed said:
@tarey - Yes. please post screen shots.. did u get the delivery?

@ashu - ki haal hai sir..socom FT bravo 2 missions completed.

Sab changaa sirji

, well playing many games at once... like:

1.) all 3 SOCOM titles (3 missions completed in each, so a total of 9 missions altogether)

2.) started playing Syphon Filter Dark mirror (DM) and Logan's Shadow (LS)
(my take on these games):

well, the TuT section in both the titles (DM & LS) are exactly the same and there are 4 Tuts in each game.

TuT-1: teaches u basic movement controls and the use of 4 types of googles to make u identify sum tricks like:

a.) EDSU(electronic device sensing unit) googles (wich makes u see the metallic points wich u cannot see them in normal vision so open doors etc.
b.) NV (night vision) googles: its self explainatory
c.) IR (infra red) googles: to kill enemies at night wen u cant see them in normal vision.
d.) a night torch: self explainatory as well..

if u can finish the movements in a time less than wat it needs to be completed, then u get a bonus weapon. the target time is 1m35sec and i was able to complete the TuT in 1m20sec (on the second try bcoz on the 1st try i was listening to the A.I trainer abt the ctrls)
------------------------------------------
TuT-2: teaches u basic controls like:

a.) working with a SOCOM silenced pistol to fire on targets,
b.) knife attacks,
c.) melee attacks (wich includes stealthed neck breaks of ur foes..lol..)
d.) the use of a unique weapon known as the EDT (electric discharge) by wich u can aim it onto an enemy (using the R button thus creating a LOCK ON (as in socom titles) and then killing/paralysing him using this electric bolt charge (its a stealth killing weapon)

and wen u complete this too in a time less than wats being told, u get a new weapon again..
=================================
TuT-3: teaches u how to handle a machine gun along with 4 types of shots (darts as they are known in-game)

a.) a normal 6mm shot (wich makes noise wen u try to fire it at an enemy at long range)---> Not a Stealth Killing Technique
b.) an EXP (explosive) dart/shot wich can be used on a group of enemies (3-4) and kill all of them using an explosion.--->NOT a Stealth Killing Technique
c.) an EDT (electric discharge) dart, (explained in TuT-2 point d.) wich kills ur enemy by giving him a high electric shock.---> a Stealth Killing Technique
d.) a smoke dart wich can suffocate group of enemies (2-3) to death---> a Stealth Killing Technique

U can also use ur default SOCOM Silenced Pistol to take out enemies stealthly..
=========================

TuT-4: It teaches multiplayer skills.
----------------------------------

The graphics are really good and satisfying for the eye, the cut scenes are as smooth and highly textured as the SOCOM titles, the story is really told to perfection. and u are a ONE MAN ARMY to battle ur way either using STEALTH or by WAKING UP UR ENEMIES..

Hope u guys liked my short and simple review...

Wats the price u got it for ? Here in goregaon-east (mubai) the guy says Rs.3K for a 8 GB.

tarey_g said:

I love the case, but can the PSP fit into it with the crystal cover ? i wud love to get it, if u can courier it to me, i will pay u for the same..

I started playing KillZone Liberation. Nice game , will post some screenshots soon.

Yup, nice game, but apart from the SOCOM and Syphon Filter titles where u can play either as a 3rd person or a FPS, this has an isometric view (from above and at an angle, 30 degrees) wich causes me a problem coz i jus cant make out if my player is really hiding or getting killed by the enemy on the other side ..lol...

but it too has a lot of sniping/hiding points and alot of crates wich can be broken to collect additional items..

Hey Tarey, wat was the name of the screenshot plugin tat u gave me a long time back ?

i also wanna post screenshots of my games..

ok guys , my 3.5 months old 4GB MS pro duo is on sale , who wants it ?

Well, i already got a new one 2 days back, u shud hv told me earlier, damn..

so as of now i hv 4+4+2+1 GB MSPDs....

-------------

Cheers n e-peace....

@ashu, PSP wont fit in this cover with crystal casing on it. This cover leaves no space and is meant to firmly hold the PSP inside. I will send you the screenshot plugin soon or the link if I find it.

I have played all Syphon Filter titles on PS1, i think the PSP ones are ports of them. Still i am gonna play them as both are really gr8 games.

You can download it from here :
*www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2148066529

Or the attached file (with this post) if it works, as digit forum's file attachment feature is all screwed up.

Got it from Amazon.com for $68.... damn they even have the 16 GB Mark 2 Edition, but thats way too costly at $143...

^^

yup, they hv the 16 GB one too..and way out of my budget..

also, there is NOT much a difference b/w the price ofa 4 GB at mumbai or at amazon..

-----------

@ tarey: thanx for the plugin buddy,

plz tell me how to use the screenshot plugin ? it has 2 folders : PSP and seplugins.

I already hv the cxmb plugin installed onto my PSP for the ctf theme so it already has a seplugins folder in my root of the PSP mem stick.

plz tell me step-by-step as to wat to ad and wat to edit.. im a total noob as this is my 1st timer..so be easy on me...

Put the contents of psp folder in the respective ms0:/PSP folder in your PSP. Same for seplugins folder, but do not overwrite any files here , you will already be having the vsh.txt and similar files , just add the entry for this plugin in the respective files instead of overwriting them. Start the plugin from Recovery menu, done.

SO in "vsh.txt" in "seplugins" folder the entry for the screenshot plugin be added this way?

ms0:/cxmb/cxmb.prx (this is the ctf themes entry)
ms0:/seplugins/Screenshot Plugin v1.2.prx (this is the screenshot entry)

is this correct ?? or shud there be a line gap b/w the 2 entries ?
------------

Cheers n e-peace...

This is correct. make similar entry in other files too.

Post some screenshots soon

Playing PuzzleQuest , really addictive game.

*img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/xxthedarkonexx/Games/puzzlequest.jpg

*pixhost.eu/avaxhome/avaxhome/2007-11-11/puzzlequest.jpg

*hatedpig.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/puzzlequest1.jpg

*www.justadventure.com/reviews/PuzzleQuest/puzzlequest5.jpg

so i think after putting the files in the seplugins folder (on the PSP) > there were many txt files too like game150.txt, game.txt, pops.txt so shud i keep them in the same seplugins folder (onto the PSP along with the ctf plugin) or do i hv to transfer them to the game and game150 folders ??

step-1 --- Well, i kept all the txt files in the seplugins folder itself (onto the PSP) along wiht the ctf plugin.

step-2 --- wen i entered in the Rec mode, i saw 3 ".prx" files to be enabled like:

1.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[disabled]---> wich i enabled
2.) game.prx[disabled]-------------------> wich also i enabled
3.) game150.prx[disabled]---------------> same as above.

-------------------

hope i did the right thing in step 1 and 2. plz reply buddy..clearly..

Yes you have done it correctly, now you can take screenshots of your PSP scren by ptessing the music note button.

the entries in the recovery menu should be like (approx if i remember correctly)

1.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[vsh]
2.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[game]
3.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[game150]

well, yaa i guess its similar to that... as i was able to take a screenshot of the PSP main menu..havent tried the in-game screenshot (while playing a game).. hope tat will work too...

-----------------

will post sum screenies too..

-----------------

Cheers n e-peace...

@ashu - SOCOM is really getting onto me...so engrossing...but buddy, cant we save when a mission is in progress? wtf..?

I am not able to locate and buy other socom and all syphon filter titles..so may need them from u..

Have a great weekend bro...

- Ur greedy pal..

^^ Hahaha

, add me on yahoo messenger if you have an account.

@ feed:

i'll giv u the other SOCOM titles.., but yes U jus CANNOT save a mission midway, wat i used to do was since a single mission took really gr8 time (coz of stealth nature of the title) I always played it and wen i am tired, i pause the game and then switch off the PSP normally (without removing the mem stick), and then used to continue it the next day or wenever i felt freeminded

Coz, i play it with such concentration tat for all my missions, i end up with a FINAL GRADE 'A'

I am thinking of purchasing PSP Slim n Lite. Can you tell me the cost of Sony PSP + modding cost + 4 gb stick? Heard its Rs 8990 from Sony store. Can i get it for cheaper elsewhere? Need your sugg...

^^ Go through the thread, it will be helpful for you.

@ hurricane:

NO discussion allowed on modding stuff, against forum rules...

----------

U can purchase the 4 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo of Sandisk make for Rs. 1600/-

The PSP SLIM & LITE only retails at its official price wich is Rs.8990/- nothing more or nothing less than that price..

CHeck ur pm...(for my address)

--------------

Cheers n e-peace...

I compleated Killzone last night

, next is Force Unleashed (i hope the story is good) !!!!!

Hey, how is the gameplay ?? exciting ?? or an 'ok-ho-humm' type ??

Killzone is nice game I'll give it 7/10 one boss fight is frustrating, other than that nice game.

tarey_g said:
Yes you have done it correctly, now you can take screenshots of your PSP scren by ptessing the music note button.

the entries in the recovery menu should be like (approx if i remember correctly)

1.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[vsh]
2.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[game]
3.) screenshotsplugin v1.2.prx[game150]

well, did as was told above, but sumtimes, wen i change my MSPDs, the plugin doesnt work

and sumtimes, the PSP hangs while taking a screeny..

------------

I hv added also added this

ms0:/seplugins/Screenshot Plugin v1.2.prx

below the cxmb plugin (ctf themes entry) and hv placed

Game150.txt
Game.txt
Pops.txt
vsh.txt

in the seplugins folder on the PSP...
----------

help needed.... !!!

When you change MSPD the plugin wont work if it does not have the same files you put for this plugin in other MSPD on the same path.
I dont know why the PSP hangs, it works absolutely fine here. Have you been successful to take any screenshot yet ?

^^

but are my settings OK ?? as i hv asked above ??? regarding the txt files placed in the seplugins folder and the line of text added below the entry of ctf themes ??
-----------------

I wil try it again...but reply this above.. plz..

i had the same problem it hanged while taking screenshots, i edited the vsh file and works fine now.

^^

so how u edited the vsh.txt file ?? I hv a single entry in the vsh file as this:

ms0:/seplugins/Screenshot Plugin v1.2.prx

and this is the same entry i hv in the seplugins folder below the cxmb plugin (ctf themes entry)

i edited it to put both the entries in one file one for cxmb and the other for screenshot, now its working fine.

^^

i see, so u mean u edited the txt file in the seplugins folder (wich previously contained) the cxmb entry too.. ?? rite ??

entry for every plugin you have must be in new line . Simple

ms0:/seplugins/Plugin1.prx
ms0:/seplugins/Plugin2.prx

and so on .

by putting entry in the vsh.txt the plugin will take effect in the XMB menu , when you put it in game.txt the plugin will take effect in the pap games you play.

^^

yup, fully understand that... infact the screenshot plugin alreadt has a game.txt and game150.txt and pops.txt files so this means that the entry for the screenshot plugin is already present into these txt files, haina ??

so, shud these 3 files be also kept in the seplugins folder only ?? along with the vsh.txt (wich contains entries for a.) cxmb and b.) manually added entry for screenshot plugin) ????

btw , i started playing Star Wars force unleashed

^^

wow gr8..

how is the gameplay ??? i mean a top view shooter or the same as syphon filter or socom titles camera angles ??? (obviously it wont be stealth title)

you have to make entry in the same files that are already in the seplugins folder , dont put these new files there . Your seplugins folder must have the prx file of the plugin and the entry of theprx file into the vsh/game/game150 etc files of your choice. in case of screenshot plugin , putting the entry in vsh and game.txt will do.

The game is good so far , camera acts funny and is irritating some times .Its a third person hack and slash game. Gameplay is explosive and using force powers is fun. Recommended

^^

ok thanx mate, will try it out as u said...

*img7.pictiger.com/f7a/16887101_th.jpg

2.) THese are the various missions UNLOCKED after the same has been finished in the campaign (career mode):

*img7.pictiger.com/7ec/16887107_th.jpg

3.) These are the same mission list (as above) but here, u can begin play from either Inerstion Point A or B (wich are 2 different places of the same location/map) from where ur team is deployed to start the mission.

*img7.pictiger.com/538/16887108_th.jpg

4.) THese are my overall stats of the campaign (career mode) , impressive, isint it ?? lol..

*img7.pictiger.com/0a1/16887109_th.jpg

5.) THis is the mission breifing wich is done by a female voice b4 the start of each campaign:

*img7.pictiger.com/6ae/16887110_th.jpg

6.) THis is ur squad layout: U control a team of 4 ppl (which are split into 2 groups as ABLE & BRAVO): here u can press the square button to AUTO UPGRADE ur team members or manually upgrade them (as shown in 7.)

*img7.pictiger.com/b56/16887111_th.jpg

7.) Here, u can manually upgrade each member of ur team with ur own choice of weapons, so I always load 1 member of ABLE witha sniper gun and 1 member of BRAVO with a sniper gun, so that In both my teams (ABLE & BRAVO) i hv 1 sniper each, wich is their primary weapons, along with their sec weapons wich are all fitted with SUppressors (silencers):

*img7.pictiger.com/348/16887112_th.jpg

8.) THis is the manual weapon loadout (upgrade) screen for each player, u can select froma wide variety of weapons to suit ur mission.

*img7.pictiger.com/5d9/16887113_th.jpg

9.) Here, u can selecr either point A or B to start ur mission in quick play mode:

*img7.pictiger.com/c89/16887114_th.jpg

10.) THis is the map screen along wiht the objectives wen the SELECT button is pressed:

*img7.pictiger.com/78a/16887128_th.jpg

11.) Here my one of the team member is lining up a shot for a sniper kill onto an enemy (seen as a red triangle further up the screen) :

*img7.pictiger.com/aa8/16887129_th.jpg

12.) Now, this is the view wen my team member zooms in on a ENEMY to kill him using a sniper rifle: in this process, the team member will say "SNIPE IN PROGRESS"

*img7.pictiger.com/935/16887130_th.jpg

13.) Enemy killed after the snipe:

*img7.pictiger.com/c09/16887131_th.jpg

14.) U will ALWAYS hv to manually point the members of ur team to go to a new location (by pressing the 'O' button and using the analog stick to point to the specific location:

*img7.pictiger.com/08e/16887134_th.jpg

15.) Here, using a grenade, im trying to aim at an angle to throw the grenade to kill 2 ENEMIES (one is hidden adn one is displayed on screen with a red triangle over his head):

*img7.pictiger.com/923/16887137_th.jpg

Cheers n e-peace...

^^ wow , finally you were sucessful in taking screens

I will post screens from SW : TFU soon .

^^
lol..

yaa thank goddd at last..

------------

Btw, the PSP still hangs while i take screenshots while in-game yaar.. any idea kya ?? maybe i must be taking screenshots while the character in game is attacing or walking or jus not stable.. is it ???

when you take a screenshot , thhe screen color changes while the screenshot is taken, its not done in a instant .If thats what you call hanging , then its perfectly normal .

^^

well, no u are rite abt the screen taking time and it changing color to take the screenshot, I know this is normal

wat i mean a real hanging problem, getting stuck (with no response at all) for eternity, until and unless i do a manual battery removal and restart the PSP..

does that hapen to u to as well.. ??

^^ No , never happened. Make sure u are using correct version of CXMB, some are not compatible with 3.90 m33 on slim.

btw , I completed Star Wars : Force Unleashed. 8/10 , so far the most enjoyable game i played on PSP (have not played god of war yet)

well, im using the same screenshot plugin tat u gave me, and yes (as far as u too remember) tat im on 3.90 m333 and i guess u are too on the same FW so u too using the same screenshot plugin tat u gave me.. (its ver 1.2)...

---------------

I recently completed level 1 (consisting of 4 missions) in KILLZONE LIBERATION and i must say tat its the trickiest game ever to be played by me on the easy (there are 3 difficulties, easy, normal and hard) settings, as it really required me to think differently for each mission... esp. the 4th Mission in LEVEL 1 known as SABOTAGE where the 3 wrenches had to be destroyed to complete the mission and at the same time dodge myself from the enemy TANK and the enemy AI,

alas, i cudnt take the screenshots, coz everytime i pressed the music button (for the screenshot plugin) the game hanged

-----------------

Latest additions to my PSP game list..

1.) FIFA 08
2.) PES 08

I am on the same Firmware version, i dont know why you are facing the problem , maybe some other plugin you installed has a conflict with this one.

^^

I see, well yaa maybe... but the only other plugin i hv is the cxmb (ctf themes plugin).. see this screenshot for my cxmb and seplugins folder.. (jus hv a look of the files tat they contain..)

Kya baat kar rahaa hain, I was playing on the EASY diff, and man, that 4th mission in LEVEL 1 (SABOTAGE, where there are 3 cable wrenches to be destroyed along with tat f***ing TANK up my ass) it was really tough, got killed (death) 30 times and jus 15 Kills to my name.

phew !! tat took sum doin ...

bte, did u also play those CHALLENGE MODES too ?>? (to unlock weapons and upgrades) to be used in further missions ?

Cheers n e-peace...

No i skipped challanges(in-fact i hate such mini games) , i don't like to play the stuff which is not aiding to story in anyway.

try flat out head on and syphon filter they rock.

^^

yup, already played sum part of Syphon filter (dark mirror as well as Logan's Shadow), well i didnt like Flat out head on, bcoz i jus cudnt time my crashes onto my opponents, where as i loved burnout legends and dominator,

how is the ctrls in f1 ??? and wat abt graphics?? smooth and crisp ??

Installed new plugin ,Music.prx . Now i can listen music while i am playing games. Much needed plugin , now i can play Puzzlequest while listening to my fav music.

^^

hey, link needed plz..

------------

1.) also, are ur cxmb and screenshot plugins installed too ?? along with this music.prx ?
2.) in wat format shud the music(normal files played on our PC will do?) be in the PSP and in wat folder?

flat out head on is good but not like burnout series, you need to crash opponents,race and get tossed around by other players, so its a bit difficult.
f1 is not that great, corners are insane its really difficult to go through the corners.
midnight club3 is also a good game try it out.

^^

i see, well, how are the ctrls for Midnight club 3 ?? (i always had a view tat this game was a ganster type GTA) bcoz of the title name..lol...

Heya All,
Just got my PSP today. Not from Ninja, but from S.P. Sales, a shop just ahead of Ninja and around the bend on the same side. He gave me a nice deal. The Ninja guy maybe charges all a non-negotiable cost maybe cause he has got a clue his name is being used someplace to buy PSP's U can get a PSP at least 300 bucks cheaper here.
The 4 gb original sandisk memory card cost me 1700 and 200 for the crystal case.
He charges 100 per game. I got 2 of them, Brian Lara Cricket and Metal Gear Solid 2. Until I get more games
I forgot to take the USB cable, so have not tried the music or videos
But the gaming experience till now is awesome...I can only imagine how will it be when I get better games...I have yet to buy a decent set of ear phones....getting confused which one to buy...can anyone advise on the best?
Until next time....happy gaming...

And a special thanks to Ashu, who has been my guide throughout making this decision.. Thanks pal.. Happy gaming all..

Hi ,
can anyone tell me the address and contact no. of ninja traders in mumnbai to buy PSP.Please PM me the details as soon as possible.
Thanks

Yes i have all the plugins installed, music.prx does not by default use the note button (which is usedd by screenshot plugin) so no problems.

Download it from here :
*pspupdates.qj.net/Music-prx-plugin-for-CFW-3-90-M33/pg/49/aid/119230

I currently have following plugins activated on my PSP.

CXMB
Hold 2.0

Music
PopsLoader

Hi ,
can anyone tell me the address and contact no. of ninja traders in mumnbai to buy PSP.Please PM me the details as soon as possible.
Thanks

Don't create different threads for each question.
Check your PM.

whats hold 2.0 and pops loader?

Hold+2.4 :
Very useful plugin (saves battery charge), turn on the Hold switch to automatically disable the display and underclock the CPU (61 MHz). Turn off the Hold switch to return the CPU to normal speed and enable the display.
If you hold the UP d-pad button when turning off the hold switch, the display will remain switched off and the CPU will remain underclocked, but you can operate the PSP. This is useful if you just need to adjust the volume, fast forward/rewind, or to skip to the next song, without unnecessarily turning on the display. To return to normal, just press the Screen button. This plugin also fixes the irritating issue of accidently putting your PSP in stand-by mode while pushing the hold button up to release the PSP from keypad lock mode.

Popsloader : To play PS1 games on your PSP

How well does it work and is there any to play PS2 games

^^

well, as of now (I think) u cannot play ps2 games on the PSP..

onyl PS1 games possible..

^^
Sad news but Thanx for updates

^^

not a problem, btw u can use any plugins (wich is suitable EXACTLY for ur type of FW) by placing the .prx files in the se plugins folder of ur PSP (if u do not hv this folder, this may be possible if u hv NOT installed any plugins b4 onto ur PSP) jus read the readme in every plugin tat u d/load

its easy..

In general: a plugin always has 1 folder namely, 'seplugins' folder wich contains the plugin (.prx extension) and sum txt files like (vsh.txt) wich will contain the entry for the plugin tat u are gonna use,

but suppose

u wanna install a 2nd plugin, since this 2nd plugin will also hv a seplugin folder, u NEED NOT REPLACE the previous seplugin folder (wich is on ur PSP, due to the 1st plugin) with this one instead, copy all the .prx files from the seplugins folder of the new (2nd plugin) and put it in the seplugins folder (of the 1st plugin) onto the PSP and also copy the entry from the vsh.txt (of the 2nd plugin) into the vsh.txt file of the 1st plugin..

so tat both of ur plugins work smoothly.. and enable every NEWLY added plugin from the RECEOVERY MODE OF PSP..

-----------

Cheers n e-peace...

socom us navy seals fireteam bravo 2 added

^^

woohooo

but didnt u add SOCOM Tactical Strike and Fireteam bravo 1 ???, Tactical Strike has the best GRAPHICS among all 3 socom titles and the controls are also alot better..

Cheers n e-peace...

Got a PSP Charger Stand.Looks awesome!

^^

from where?? and wat the price ?, plz post a pic for us

Pic of the stand? and does it do anything else

.
Btw , havent played a game since 2 days , just watching loads of movies

.

Installed a awesome application which lets me play divx and other formats directly on PSP without needing to convert the video. The app has some limitations though, the video resolution must not be above 480x272, but resizing divx is way faster than converting it to PSP format so i find it useful. The FPS (imo) drops a little , bit it does not ruin the video. I watch diggnation and TRS and the smallest download for that show is of resolution less than 480x272, so the mess of converting them to PSP format for viewing is gone

.

^^

I think the PSP CHARGER STAND apart from allowing the PSP to Stand erect on the stand during charging, it will also allow to view movies on it w/out being holding the PSP in our hands, jus like a mini tv with u watching the movie using the ear phones..

@tarey and Ashu,sorry guys couldn't post the pics.Was a bit busy with studies and all.
I'll surely post some nice pics later in the day.

I played star wars last night and man I'm getting addicted to it.
I cannon find Socom in the market neither at planet M nor at music world and I don't wanna pirate this game.Any help on this one?Please enlighten this poor lad

@Napster,first grab some games and get gaming.You'll be busy with that for quite a while.
Ge the screenshot plugin,PS1 emulator like eboots, some nice themes.
Never try to forcibly increase the audio output of PSP.It will do nothing except messing up your speakers.
Enjoy your purchase!

hey guys i have a problem...2 actually...plz help me out...

1.) i bought the PSP yesterday and i wanted to put music in it. While trying to sync it with WMP this is wht happens : the WMP first makes the folder of the artist and then under it the folder of a album and then the songs. But the PSP only seems to detect the music files under one folder.(folder of the artist). Now i can always drag and drop...but sync'n thru the WMP is so much easier and plus i know its organised.

so is there a solution to it?

2.) I bought the PSP as a media player. I convert my movies thru PSP video9. Though it gives excellent vid quality output the size of my file is only decreased by a few MB's. i converted a 683 MB movie file and it was 600 after conversion......is this normal? Or should it be less??

"Napster" : well

1.) I do not use PSP for music, jus for gaming purpose.. but afaik, u need not sync it with wmp, instead there are convertors available for putting music files onto psp like:
** a.)

First download whatever music you want to save to your PSP. You can use CD's, MP3's , or if you already have your music saved to your computer that's even better. If your music is already on your computer and it's in MP3 format you can skip this section and go down to the Window's Media Player section.

Open Windows Media Player and go to the 'Copy to CD or Device' option.
• Once there you can click on the down arrow at the top of the first column and choose what music files you want to copy. If you don't see the music you just donwloaded, go to File at the top of the page and click Ppen. You can find your music files in the music folder on the desktop.
• After choosing the music you want to copy. plug in your PSP through the USB connection. In the settings column on your PSP, go up to 'USB connection' and hit the X button. You will hear a ding sound to let you know your connected.
• This is where some cool stuff comes in. You choose the appropriate Memory Stick drive (ie, E for copying to the PSP from Media Player. Once your PSP comes up hit the plus symbol next to the words PSP. A menu will drop down with the choices of Game, Music, Photo or Saved Data.

Click the + next to Music to open it up. Highlight Music and near the top right corner of Media Player you will see a folder button between an I on a page and an X. If you hit that folder, a bubble will pop up asking you to name it. Give it any name you want. This will be your special folder for whatever music you want to put into it. I have 5 folders on mine. 2Pac, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Citizen Cope, Audio Slave, and I almost forgot I just added a folder for Linkin Park. Click on the + next to the file you just created and hit the Copy button at the top of Media Player. This will copy all of chosen music to that specific folder. You can do this for how many ever folders you want.

hope this will help u...

Maybe a different firmware that u are having can be an issue !!! Tarey_g, sunny(i guess) and myself are all on 3.90 m33

2.) I hv used PSP Video converter for encoding videos suitable for PSP playback and i guess the compression that u are getting 683 MB to 600 MB is preety good and normal..

-------------

let others reply to this..

"Sunny" : well take ur time buddy, but haan yaad se pics post karna. .

u from Mumbai ?? is it ? well yes SOCOM titles for PSP are NOT available in many stores.. if u are from Mumbai, u can try Hypercity mall, Malad (next to Inorbit)

hi ashu888
I just had a look on the vallhala knights 2 .
It's RPG one like that of Final Fantasy crisis core.But i did not found this as intresting as FF7 crisis core.
Graphics are average, There are some cutscenes too. It goes like "TRUST THE GODS NO MORE......................blah blah......... ".
There are about 7 characters from which u have to choose one for playing the game.
There are lengthy conversations that u can't skip which i found the most boring part.
All i can say is that it's kind of Average game. But tht's too early to say .i'll post more as i play the game.

Game Spot Score --- 6.5(critics)/10
---- 8.5(user)/10

^^

hey thans for this dude, yup plz post sum more as u play it further..

-================
btw can SUBTITLES be played along with the movie on PSP ?? i really want such a type of plugin or a converter.. plz can u guys help me ???

dunno about subtitles

^^

ok, np.. will search then..on net..

btw, got Valhalla Nights 2 for PSP

how is it??

^^

well, havent pl;ayed ValHalla 2 till now, will play it and post it by evening.. along with screenshots.

Was playing GRAW2 b4 this, if u want will post screenshots for u..and others too

btw, any new game u tried ?? if yes post ur experience..

how is graw2? i couldnt get it anywhere. I've played killzone liberation, didnt like it. I thought it was like syphon filter.
F1 2005 : pretty decent game, but got bored soon.

flatout head on : great game,great graphics you can different modes like stunt mode,carnage mode(race,destroy opponents and cause damage to things on the track such as tyres,bridges etc.

graw 2 is NOT like KzL (killzone Liberation) but more of a FPS kinda game where u are a one man army known as Scott Mitchell, a U.S Soldier and u carry out all the killings, sabotaging, blowing up tanks, trucks and bridges using ur Rocket launcher and many gr8 weapons along wiht C4s, hand grenades, frag grenades etc.. here are the screenshots..

This is the player with his gun:
*img7.pictiger.com/a5b/17034264_th.jpg

THis is the rocket launcher wich im using to blow up an ANTI AIRCRAFT gun:
*img7.pictiger.com/5f6/17034265_th.jpg

This is the final summary of the weapons tat i hv used ingame for my mission:
*img7.pictiger.com/c86/17034266_th.jpg

U will get a limited amount of AMMO BOXes (to refill ur stash of ammo, grenades and bullets) so this is actually a good point in GRAW2 as u will then play sensibly adn NOT an ALL OUT gun blazing ninja ..lol..

I will post more pics later..

What are the disadvantages of loading the CFW in PSP ? My PSP is presently on 4.05 OFW !

^^

disadvtgs ??

...

well never heard any malfunctioning as such

but yes, it will invalidate ur warranty of the PSP (as said officially) also, there are many differences between many different versions of cfw..

^ which one's the latest and best ? also , do we require a pandora once again to turn back to OFW from CFW ?

Latest one is 4.01 m33-2. But hey, once you have CFW you'll never go back to OFW.

shri said:
But hey, once you have CFW you'll never go back to OFW.

No , we can ! That i know , but just wanna confirm that whether we need Pandora for that too ?

Also the CFW 4.01 M33-2 is stable ?

I know we can, but my point is you never want to go back. CFW 4.01 M33-2 is stable. Have been using it for 2 months now

to BBthumbHealer :

well i guess (not sure) tat we need Pandora battery to go back to OFW..coz then if tat was not true (abt using Pand batt to go back to OFW) jus how wud u go back !!

also, a Pandora battery does jus tat, it loads the OFW (backward/older version) and then put the new updated version of CFW.. (i think so..)
-------------

but y u wanna go back to OFW >> jus asking. ??

Mine is CFW 3.90 m333 and im really happy with it...

bassam904 said:

3.You can connect the PSP to your TV using AV cable (Sony and Chinese brands available). You can also connect it to your PC using some plugins like Remote_Joy and PSPdisp using a USB cable.

bassam904 said:
4.wat does psp modding costs.

4.Modding mainly involves installing a custom firmware (CFW) using a pandora battery. There are people who will do this for about 200-500 bucks depending on the city and area you are in.

bassam904 said:
5.wat media are available for games for psp.

5. Games are released on the UMD disks that cost about 1499 to 2250 (Available at no cost at you-know-where). Sony is planning to distribute newer games via playstation store i.e via internet downloads.

1.) Well, a PSP is for a handleld gaming and entertainment stuff and a PS2 is for a big screen like a tv kind of stuff, so cant be compared, but yes PS2 on a big tv (25") looks really good.

if u are asking wether the PSP (wen connected to a TV) and also a PS2 (connected to a tv), how they fare ?? then well, ps2 will win hands down for sure.. in terms of graphics

2.) Yes, games will be available for the PSP in future, ofcourse (nahi toh humaara kya hoga. we the PSP owners) ..lol..

3.) U can connect the PSP to a TV using the AV cable available in the market for Rs. 600-Rs.1000/- (see the screenshot in my prev. post)

4.) TO get a PSP modded, will cost u around Rs.500/- (+/- Rs.100)

5.) PSP games are in .ISO mode (those available on umds) but .cso type of game extensions also work gr8 on the PSP, also ps1 games run on PSP (modded one)

{NOTE :- This is a copy-paste post from this thread on the request of ashu888ashu888}

I have PSP Phat 3.71M33-4 ...... Hard Cover.... Screen Protector.... 2GB+4GB (SanDisk) MS...EP-630.....2 UMDs (PoP:Revelations and Burnout Legends). I must say the gadget is great. I also have 14-15GB of ISOs .

Anyways, currently the price of PSP Slim is Rs.8300 and some basic acc. costs :-

1. Screen Protector -> depends on shops, generally between 500-700...
2. Hard Plastic Cover -> Between 800-1k
3. Earphones with Remote -> I think they cost around 1.2-1.5k
4. Logitech Stealth (special PSP earphones but works with other stuff too) -> 1.4k
5. Creative EP-630 (Earphones.... works with any gadget with a 3.5mm jack) -> Rs.750
6. SanDisk 4GB Memory Stick -> Rs.1900
7. KingSton 4GB Memory Stick -> Rs.1850
8. Sony 2GB MS -> Rs.1100
9. Dock like stand (for support during watching movies, etc) -> Rs.900-1.2k
10. Carry Pouch -> it depends...... ranges from Rs.500-1.5k

Lastly, the UMDs. Today, most UMDs cost between Rs.999 to 1.5k. Some are even high at 1.9k and some are as low as Rs.699. The more popular the game, the costlier. New launches are also costly so wait for a month and there are high chances of a price drop.......if u buy original that is . Movie UMDs are EOL (End of Life) and no more new launches are there for movies on UMDs.

I highly suggest you get your PSP modded (usually costs Rs.800 to 1.2k) rather than doing it urself coz there is a high chance of bricking it.

I also suggest you dont wait for the new PSP Slim (PSP-4000 or sumthing like dat) coz there are rumors that it cant be hacked (atleast not yet ).

If you are buying right now .....I suggest you get it modded to 3.90 M33..... its the most stable CFW (Custom FirmWare).

IMO PSP Graphics are wayyyyyy better than Ps2 Graphics it looks Gorgeous on the screen .

u mean wen the PSP is connected to the TV or jus on the PSP itself ??

psp itself

^^
Well yes, i agree..

but the PS2 graphics are not bad either, except for sum games like the Burnout 3 Takedown (PS2) where the graphics look like GRAINs DISTORTION, but sum other games like BLACK and NFS MW (PS2) they are smooth as silk..on my 25" Sony Flat CRT

GT4 has best graphics on PS2 i even wonder sometimes why other developers cannot utilize full potential of PS2 , it is happning with PS3 also you will know in few years when Xbox720 Will compete with PS3.

PSP3000 and DSi will be Better

1. I find it great, never used Rokr E8. Highest volume level of PSP is low compared to other devices, not for ppl who like to create mayhem in their ears.

2. Latest = PSP 3000 = Not moddable
3. Depends on you, so far i have enjoyed all the games that I've played.
4. How can I say, I don't find iPhone worth but others do, same goes for every gadget.

Hope this helps.

btw, Complted God of War : COO ,awesome game and the best graphics that i have seen in a PSP game. 11/10

@ashu, about the screenshot problem you were having few days ago, i think it depends on the game. I was facing the same problem in GOD of war, my PSP hanged on every attempt when taking screenshot. i Have other plugin named crossext which also takes screenshots, and it worked for God of War.

whats new in 5.00m33

-> allows for Wi-Fi access to the PlayStation Store.
-> full sized QWERTY keyboard. (My favorite).
-> the ability to output video from PlayStation format software to a TV (PSP-2000 only).
-> a sleep timer that users can enable during music playback.
-> Playback formats have also had a change too so that now MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) Video main Provile (AVC CABAC) in 640 x 480 pixels can be used.

Other Updates

* [Title Display] has been added as an option under [Video Settings].
* [usb Auto Connect] has been added as an option under [System Settings].
* [Backlight Auto-Adjust] has been added as an option under [Power Save Settings].
* The default Theme for the PSP system has been redesigned.
* New Visualizations in the Music player. (update from 4.01 m33-2)
* You can now use a full-size on-screen keyboard.

Some Observations:
* All of my previously installed homebrew works perfectly.
* No problems whatsoever.

again hail2DAX...

Full sized QWERTY keyboard ?? i mean how u use it ?? (i knw it must be in menu) but for wat purpose are u using it ??

Also, I hv 3.90 m333, so how do i go abt updating my CFW ???

S

How do you guys update CFW.I'm having problems connecting with my WiFi network on the PSP.So,any other methods?

^^

yup, tats wat i also wanna knw as rockthegod has done it, in general i knw tat there is jus a copy and paste of newer cfw files over the older one... but how to do it, im not sure...

I updated via WiFi, but you guys can do it directly by downloading the following files.

IMPORTANT: You MUST be running 4.01-m33 CFW in order to update to 5.0-m33. Make sure you follow the instructions properly and have at least a 80% battery charge with the AC power connected to PSP all the time while updating. I am not responsible if you brick your PSP.

DOWNLOAD

[IMPORTANT: by the way, I do not know whether CFW update discussions and links are allowed here. If this is against the forum rules, please let me know and I will remove all of it OR the mods can do it]

This is not just a COPY-PASTE thingy, you have to update completely by executing the proper Eboot in your PSP. Don't worry, all your apps and settings will be intact. Just follow the instructions in the README of the file. The QWERTY keyboard is an added option when you are typing (you can switch between the various types of keyboards and keypads provided, QWERTY is just one of it), it is just awesome to use, way better than the earlier mobile phone type keyboard.

Hey thanx for the QWERTY update.. if possible can u post a screenshot of its gui ??

also, now i guess i'll hv to figure out HOW TO update to 4.01 (coz im on 3.90 m333) so i'll hv to go this way updating 3.90---> then 4.01-----> then 5.0

(shee, kya lamba process hain yaar)

S

I am on 4.01,so it's ijji for me.Halwa hai.

^^ hey bataa na how to upgrade from 3.90 m333 to 4.01 (if u were prev. on 3.90 or 3.8x)

S

^^
Get it from here *dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=17254
Then follow these steps- *www.us.playstation.com/PSP/About/SystemUpdate/pc.html

May the forces be with you

@ashu: here you go:

*d.imagehost.org/t/0320/snap001.jpg

You can easily update to 4.01 from 3.90 by WiFi .. can't you ?? I don't remember exactly. I had 3.71 m33 initially since I used Desperter 4, I guess...

THanx sunny and rock

btw, i dnt hv a wifi router (only a wired d link router)

so will hv to find a way tat sunny gave..

---------

btw, can tat QWERTY keyboard be used ingame (While creating player names) ?? rite ?? coz the default one tat we hv on our PSPs is tat mobile fone type of keyboard (a b c A B C 1 2 3) type..

@ pie: buddy plz reply to my query above abt ACE X.... waiting for ur reply...

Puzzlequest (from wikipedia):

*upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d6/Puzzle_quest_PSP.jpg/256px-Puzzle_quest_PSP.jpg

Puzzle Quest features an epic story, based in the Warlords game universe. Players assume the role of a character with various statistics such as combat ability, morale, and magical affinity. A character's predisposition toward individual attributes and spells is determined by the selection of one of four professions at the start of the game. During play, the player takes on quests as part of the main storyline, as well as accepting side quests in order to gain items, experience and gold. Gold can be used to buy equipment that offers bonuses in combat, or it can be used to build up a citadel that unlocks additional content and customization for the character.

*www.justadventure.com/reviews/PuzzleQuest/puzzlequest5.jpg

The game uses a simple map, and as players accept quests, new towns, cities, and other points of interest appear as available destinations. Each location is connected together by roads, and foes periodically appear between locations, blocking movement until they are defeated. Key quest locations are also marked on the map, and completing quests typically involves visiting such locations in order to defeat one or more opponents in one-on-one battles.

*upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9d/Puzzle_quest_360.jpg/180px-Puzzle_quest_360.jpg

Combat in the title is conducted entirely via turn-based puzzle action similar to Bejeweled or Zoo Keeper. The player and the computer-controlled opponent take turns swapping the position of two horizontally or vertically adjacent tiles on a grid to make a row or column of at least 3 like tiles (which is very easy to understand and is explained in a tutorial).

This is a very popular game and is available on practically every gaming console available PC,PS2,PS3,XBOX 360,Wii,DS,PSP and soon coming to iPhone.

Puzzle Quest was a giant surprise hit, received generally favorable reviews from the gaming community.[14] IGN stated that the PSP version of the game, "managed to combine the best aspects of both [puzzle and RPG] genres into one nice little package."

MTV Networks' GameTrailers awarded Puzzle Quest the title of "Best Puzzle/Parlor Game" of 2007. Future's Next Generation online ranked it as the 17th best game released in 2007. GameSpy awarded it "Best Xbox Live Arcade Game" of 2007.

------------------------------------

Yup i am still on 3.90 M33-3 and I see no reason to upgrade to 5.0. Until some game forces me to use the new firmware I have no plans to upgrade.

Thanx, this game looks promising... will get it...

also, im happy tat u are on the same CFW as me..(3.90 m333)

Yup i am still on 3.90 M33-3 and I see no reason to upgrade to 5.0. Until some game forces me to use the new firmware I have no plans to upgrade.

sorry for replyin late ..........
was out of station yesterday so wasn't online ......

About ace x the target automatically locks on to enemy targets wen u r at a certain distance away from the enemy plane. there is a range of the missiles within which they can be fired to approximate thir targets.

Also wen an enemy plane is visible in your radar it is denoted simply by a green square.
Wen ur enemy is locked it is denoted by two squares red in colour in which one square is inscribed insidethe other.

Currently i hav completed 40% of ace x ...........
i have captured the Griswal capitol .

PSP Brite causing scanlines, Sony has no plans to fix.

*www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/10/psp-300-v-200.jpg
Though SCEA is still "looking into the problem," Sony's Japanese headquarters (SCEI) has released a statement describing the PSP-3000 (a.k.a. PSP Brite) scanline issues as being part and parcel of the new hardware. "PSP-3000 has a new LCD device with vastly improved picture quality, achieving a more natural and vivid picture than older models," said the statement (via Engadget Japan). "By improving LCD response time to reduce ghosting, the horizontal-line phenomenon becomes more visible."

Turns out, phenomenon means "no fix in sight." According to Sony, "Since this phenomenon is caused by hardware characteristics, there is no plan to fix it with system software update." We'll be interested to see if Sony of America (SCEA) has anything different to say.

I can access the PSN service from US flawlessly.

The PSP is 802.11b (11 Mbps) capable.... no G support... All major routers currently available are b/g compatible so it shouldn't be a problem with PSP. However PSP Wifi doesn't support WPA2 ...... the max support is WPA/TKIP/WEP/AES .... in order to connect my PSP to my Linksys b/g capable router, I had to downgrade my network security settings to WPA/AES. Now it works flawlessly and the speed is awesome...

Thanx buddy, one more thing, (as u said that, wen my plane is at sum said closer distance to the enemy plane, the LOCK on is automatic) so, then do i jus hv to worry abt :

1.) controlling/matching my pace with the enemy plane so tat i dont go out of distance and in turn lose my lock on ability, rite ??

2.) and then wat abt the aiming the missiles to the locked on target ?? any manuvering of my plane also needed ?? (left right, yaw and pitch) as and wen the enemy turns or dodges ?

sorry for these noob questions.. but really want u to explain the above 2 points..

My router is Huawei WA1003A wireless modem.
Service provider is BSNL.

PSP is not 802.11g capable but only 802.11b is supported. Most modern routers support both b and g standards. (802.11a is almost dead now)

As for the security issues, I haven't enabled wireless security in both PSP and router. But I have linked my PSP's MAC address in Wireless Management settings of my router. Essentially what is does is it checks the MAC address of the device that is trying to access it and if that address is in the list of allowed addresses, gives access to that device. This according to me is the best way because you can control who can access your router.

Have you tried Opera mini 4.1 through PSPKVM on your PSP?
Its provides java environment to run .J2ME applications. The surfing speed is about 10 times better than that of PSP's default browser. But downloading files is cumbersome in Opera. For downloading use the default browser.

DAX has released the 5.0 m33-2 update with bugfixes

DOWNLOAD

Changes:

* Popcorn bug fixes
o Fixed bug that caused some games with certain icons not to work, and caused document.dat not to work.
o Fixed critical bug that caused continous corruption of psx games in RAM.
* Core bugfix: Fixed sctrlKernelSetInit* functions not working.
* M33 network update doesn't work in 5.00 M33, fixed.
* Added the posibility of loading version information from the file flash0:/vsh/etc/version.txt
o By default is disabled. If you enable it in recovery, you could for example dump 5.01 firmware, copy the version.txt from it to the flash, and bypass firmware check restrictions like those that may be in psn, etc.
o This will also fake official network update (not m33 one), and running the update eboot (again, not m33 ones).
* Plugins configuration file format changed. The new format is as follows:
o There is no more conf.bin file.
o Now each line in vsh.txt game.txt and pops.txt will have a 0 or a 1 at the end. 1 indicates that the plugin will be loaded, 0 (or anything else) that it won't be loaded.
o Entering in recovery in 5.00 M33-2 wil automatically convert the old format configuration to the new one (this may cause a delay first time you enter in plugins because of conversion).
* Added optins under advanced configuration that allow enable/disable of plugins in a certain configuration. By default they are enabled.

Ok, well i hv a D-LINK ADSL router (modeL DSL 502T) for my MTNL broadband usage (a.k.a TRIBAND service) and its not wireless/wifi

Yes, i am currently in US.

1) You can get any b/g compatible wireless router...Sorry in this case, but I exactly don't know what models of Wifi router are presently available in India so I cannot recommend you any specific model...but whatever model you buy, make sure it is atleast wireless-b capable if you intend to use it with PSP. Most mordern routers are both b/g capable. Also a/b/g and a/b/g/n capable routers are available, which are more expensive. Previous year back in India, I had a WA-3002-g1 ADSL modem at home which BSNL provided with their broadband connection and which had wireless but I had never used WiFi back in India.

2) If you are using ADSL broadband (for.e.g. BSNL), you have to get a ADSL compatible Modem with WiFi. You can directly connect the modem to your PC via the PC's network LAN card, and you have to configure the wireless access settings in your ADSL modem. For e.g. if you are a BSNL broadband user, you can configure your PPPOE settings in your ADSL modem itself.. provide the necessary username, password etc etc. Then you have to configure your WiFi access settings, the security and encryption details of the Wireless connection (PSP can access WPA, but not WPA2 so you change the security mode to WPA and encryption to AES) OR you can leave them unsecured although it that case anyone with a WiFi device can access your modem and connection if they are within the local range. That is all in a nutshell. Then you PC can access your modem wired and you can use Wifi compatible devices like the PSP wirelessly to access your broadband connection.

The speed i get is horrible compared to what i get on PC on the same connection , what i am doing wrong here ? Any guesses.

Actually the pathetic Netfront browser on the PSP is slow in itself. I use a 54 Mbps (11 Mbps wireless-b) wireless connection, so it doesn't seem as slow... BUT while using PSPTube, PSN, or even the M33 Online Update, I see that the downloads are uber fast.... (the entire 5.0 M33 update with the official EBOOT was downloaded in less than a minute).. but while downling thru the browser, the same thing would have taken anywhere near 3-4 minutes.

As Shri recommended, you can actually use Opera 4.1 mini with PSPKVM if you want good speeds while browsing.

shri said:
Have you tried Opera mini 4.1 through PSPKVM on your PSP?
Its provides java environment to run .J2ME applications. The surfing speed is about 10 times better than that of PSP's default browser. But downloading files is cumbersome in Opera. For downloading use the default browser.

See these for more info:

THanx for the reply shri...

btw..can u reply to this..i hv a D-LINK ADSL router (modeL DSL 502T) for my MTNL broadband usage (a.k.a TRIBAND service) and its not wireless/wifi

1. Why don't you get your router exchanged? BSNL does it and hopefully MTNL would too. You wont have compatibility issues with MTNL this way.

2.rockthegod has answered this well. Its just that you enable wireless Access point (AP) and its done. Rest of the config is same as your current router.

THanx shri and rock for ur replies..

Well Shri, i wouldn't jus EXchange my wired router with a wireless one, coz wireless BB is not reliable (as im into torrents

), also i wud better buy a wireless router (i knw it wud be jus waste of having 2 routers, one wired for my BB use and one wireless jus for PSP)

but.. in future maybe i will get the better of wireless router wen i get a lappy and wish to connect my lappy+PC to a wireless router.. (so keeping advanced things in mind)

---------------

Btw, will jus go to mtnl and ask them wich wireless/wifi enabled router they recommend so tat its compatible with BB too...

Thanx buddy, one more thing, (as u said that, wen my plane is at sum said closer distance to the enemy plane, the LOCK on is automatic) so, then do i jus hv to worry abt :

1.) controlling/matching my pace with the enemy plane so tat i dont go out of distance and in turn lose my lock on ability, rite ??

2.) and then wat abt the aiming the missiles to the locked on target ?? any manuvering of my plane also needed ?? (left right, yaw and pitch) as and wen the enemy turns or dodges ?

sorry for these noob questions.. but really want u to explain the above 2 points..

THanx god, i purchased my PSP S&L b4 this version (brite) was out

Cheers n e-peace...

Hi ashu.......

1. Yes we need to match pace and manuver in such a manner tht the enemy doesn't get to our back and we r left in compromising position :grin:

.
2. Once the aim is locked u can fire the missile and it is automatically guided towards the enemy plane but still den dere are 50 -50 % chances of hitting the plane........
some specialized missiles are available for update both air to air and air to ground.
Depending upon our requirement we can purchase them in the special weapon category. They are less in number but have high accuracy of hitting and cause large damage to enemy plane

.

as u advance through the game new planes are available for purchase

........
till now i ve unlocked F-22 raptor ,SU -31 and a host of others.........

BTW purchased FIFA 09 PSP

..........
Haven't tried till now will soon rite bout it.........

bout the router .........
yes i am trying to purchase one ......
but not now just listing out ones which can come in my category......

^^

thanx pie for the updat on ACE X

Yup, me too zeroing on a router to suit my PSP as well as browsing, although i intent to keep my existing wired router too.. as i knw wireless bb is unreliable in t**rents usage,

btw keep me also updated abt wich router u are pinpointing ur purchase..

yup, me too got FIFA09 for PC as well as for PSP

wich bb u are using ?? BSNL ?? or anyother ?? mine is mtnl triband..

You mean to say downloading torrents on PSP?
I've tried it and never got it to work. There's a homebrew app CTorrentsPSP. It always hangs and crashes on my PSP. And what did you mean by 'not reliable'?

^^
no no , jus on PC...

by 'not reliable' i mean tat surfing the net on PC or esp. t***ents on PC gets the speed to fluctuate on a wifi/wireless router..

tats y i said i will stick to my wired router and use a wifi/wireless router jus for PSP usage, like say playing games with sum1..

-------------

cheers n e-peace...

---------------

I use my PSP jus for GAMES bas, nothing esle ..

Speed fluctuates only if you use devices on both wired and wireless simultaneously.

^^

I see..well still i will be using (one-at-a-time) a wired router connection wen using t***ents and a wifi/wireless router connection to use the PSP.. : )

Hi Friends,

I bought my PSP yesterday.Its slim version.

I purchased a sony mspd 4 GB in Rs. 2120.

But the main issue is that I can't play games as it can't be cracked.The firmware version is 4.1. A shop owner told me that a 4.1 version can't be crcked.

My friend also purchased PSP frm same shop yesterday and his PSP version was 3.95 and thats why it got cracked and also he got installed few games like NFS,God Of War.

Please tell me that is there any crack available for 4.1.Plzgiveme the link as well.

Cheers..

Hi Bro .......
Welcome to the forum............
First of all check ur motherboard ........
if it is TA -088 den u cant put cfw
any previous version will do like TA -085
I suggest u replace the psp with the one having lower firmware like 3.95
The Ta - 088 cannot be HCKD for now......

Installing CFW depends on the type of motherboard-CPU combination you have. TA-088v3 cannot run pandora. It doesn't depend on the firmware version that comes installed on the new PSP. DAX has some method to test this. Check his site.

^^

yup, i think DAX (dark alex) has a s/w wich runs onto the PSP to reveal the mobo info..

-----------

but poor him, he got the PSP thinking tat it wud be modded, but alas.. he is now stuck with a newer version of PSP S&L (having the new unmoddable mobo)

I had told him way back tat he shud buy the PSP S&L b4 the new line of PSPs are launched in the market by SONY..i think he skipped tat date...
----------------

Cheers n e-peace..

Hey can't we get the PSP modded if CFW is > 3.95 ?

i had 3.95 before modding so it can be modded. Newer psp with the ta088 motherboard cant be modded.

Guys,the remote play thingy is simply mind blowing!Controlled my PS3 from a WiFi hotspot through my PSP and it was quite zippy.

I can do evrything else on my laptop screen (XMB, all other functions of PSP), but when I load a game in my PSP connected to my PC, it hangs with RJL enabled .. I enabled the plugins properly, I think !!!! Do you have a clue to what I am doing wrong here ....??

I didn't test RJL recently; it was when I had 4.01m33-2 cfw though.

The game has many goodies includes customizable stuff ........

Also the game comes from GTA developer i.e. ROCKSTAR games so we can hope a good story line .

^^ ooh tat sounds gr8 man...

btw any links to this s/w plugin ?? rock? . tarey ??

btw tried FIFA09 in PSP (will be posting screenies soon today), but not much of a difference though from the FIFA08 version... almost everything is a text book copy of FIFA08 in this year's FIFA09.

even the manager faces, companies in manager mode available for contracts are exactly the same from FIFA08...

the game is abit less grainy though, the begineer difficulty was really aweful..not a match.. i chose my team as arsenal adn was pitted against Man Utd. fora friendly (in manager mode, b4 the season begins) and i scored easily 10-0 against Man Utd. sheesh !! lol..

it wud hv been 20-nothing hv i played more seriously...

so will try out the Semi pro mode (skipping the Amature mode)... will post a detailed review here soon today.. so watch out for tat..

howz the quailty on the pc

@bassam , It stretches and becomes little blurry as we are outputting to higher res , If we want we can keep the default res but then it makes no sense.

@ashu, attaching the plugin with this post.

Installation proc :

1. go to RJ Lite 0.16 folder and copy RemoteJoyLite.prx then paste it on your seplugins folder in your Mem Stick, if you dont have one then just create it at the root of your memstick. If you have a VSH.txt/GAME.TXT file in your seplugins folder open it and add its entry.

2. Turn your PSP off completely (Hold the off button for a few seconds until it shuts down), then go to the recovery menu (switch on the PSP while holding the R button). In the recovery menu go to plug-ins and enable RemoteJoyLite.prx for vsh and game.txt.

3. Now plug the psp to your PC with the usb cable and start it , you will be asked to install usb drivers once the PSP is turned on , install the usb drivers provided in the 'LibUSB' folder for this package. If you are using 6b bit version of windows install drivers from 'LibUSB/driver_x64' folder.

4. After the driver had finished installing, restart your PSP again and run a game (while still connected via USB).

5. Now go to RJ Lite 0.16 folder and run RemoteJoyLite_en. By this point you should now see your PSP screen via the PC's monitor.

Enjoy !

well, congrats on ur new PSP..btw if it has got the latest mobo the TA -088 den u cant mod it, leave the cfw...
any previous version will do like TA -085

also, plz i advice u not TO mod ur PSP (even after knowing abt ur motherboard model if tat is moddable) so better u spend Rs.200-400 and get it modded from a reputed shop in a better city to prevent ur PSP from bricking (making it NON functional)...

H

^^^ thnx and how do i find ot the mobo ver?

i modded myself , it is easy . i can make pandora battery from normal battery also . useing a software , but to initialy mod i needed datal tool. now i am on 5.00 M33 . i got pandora battery for 800 bucks and i have peace of satisfaction that i can even recover my psp if it is bricked or anything like that.

J

Well, I am on 4.01 M33-2. The guys on pspmods forum say that 4.01 M332 is a stable CFW while 5.xx is not. So I am not upgrading anymore.

I also installed light mp3 player, must have app for PSP.

^^Yup.

BTW, I just played Midnight Club LA. Pretty impresive racing game with good grafix and gameplay.

H

@shri had downloaded that file yesterday.but i cant do it cuz i dont hav any frnd who has psp with cfw running so cant get these file:

Next step must be done on a PSP homebrew capable (with CFW). If you don't have it, ask someone else to do this step and give you the resultant files.

- Copy the GETIPL folder to PSP/GAME. Get the 3.90 and 4.05 updates, and put them onto the MS root with the following names: "390.PBP", "405.PBP".
- Run the GETIPL app from your PSP homebrew capable, and it will create a couple of files on the MS root, called "ipl390.bin", "ipl405.bin".
- Connect the PSP via USB, and use the "msinst" program that its included on the pack to install the 3.90 IPL on the MS.
- You must do it this way: "msinst E E:\ipl390.bin", being "E" your PSP letter on your PC. Program will ask you to confirm it, press

just now read that psps with TA-088v3 mobos ship with ofw 4.xx as these mobois cant boot older IPLs.so i think mine sud be a TA-088v2.
i'm googling also if some1 cud point me to a tut as to how i cud install cfw on a TA-088v2 mobo that wud just gr8.

thnx.

Now playing PUZZLE QUEST-CHallenge of the Warlords..

really awesome game, thanx tarey_g for recommending me this game..

^^ Welcome , It will soon become repetative though, so you have to play it with patience. I kept it as a side game which I played when I got got bored of the primary game on PSP.

J

PSP itself is my secondary console. Reason is that there are not too many immersive games on PSP. Mostly they are Arcade style game with no story or character background, etc. But thats the typical portable game style which PSP pulls off in a great manner. Sure, there are games like God Of War : CoO and FF series which got me immersed

.

@ tarey:

well yaa i agree to u, infact u knw wat i hv kept my side game as ?? well its FIFA08 n 09 lol..i got bored with pipemania, coz u hv to be really quick else the fun is gone..

To everyone: Happy Diwali !!

To everyone: Happy Diwali !!

S

@Ashu,How do I install the plugins?
As for Spiderman,IT IS TEH SUCKA!

Happy Diwali to all!

Well,

1.) Search for a plugin wich is compatible for ur type of FW

2.) When u hv d/loaded the plugin, u will always get sum folders in the plugin, out of wich ONE OF THE folders WILL always be named as "seplugins"

3.) copy all the contents(all the FOLDERS) of the plugin into ur PSP's root i.e the place in the mem stick where there are folders like PSP, ISO etc etc..

4.) then boot ur PSP in recovery mode (switch OFF the PSP after transferring the plugin folders in the root of the PSP and switch it ON by pressing the R trigger and then Sliding the ON button)

5.) once in the recovery mode, scroll down to >Plugins and there u will see an entry named as <your_plugin_name>.vsh and the status of this plugin will be <disabled> coz u (for the obvious reason) hv not yet enabled the plugin (silly me..lol..

)

6.) select the plugin entry adn press X on ur PSP, to enable the plugin, EXIT out of the the menu and out of the recovery mode and let ur psp restart in normal mode..

7.) depending on the type of plugin u hv installed and enabled, it will vbe activated on ur PSP (read the readme provided with the plugin tat u hv d/loaded) for more instructions..

Which earphone do you guys recommend for the PSP?
EP630?

^^Go get it !!

H

got the psp modded at last.

^^Congo

H

^^^ thnx.

^^ Congrats, good that your PSP was moddable.

^^

swear.. else he wud hv been stuck midway..

-----------

btw playing Puzzle Quest-Challenge of the warlords, really addictive..

H

^^^ yup thnx guys.
even i was worried that if i got TA-088v3 mobo then i'm doomed.

also is it dangerous if i install .ctf themes?

its NOT at all dangerous (out of cautionary range)

if u install ctf themes..

btw, ctf themes kick ptf themes ass, anytime of the year.. coz not only it changes the display of the PSP but it also changes the icon sizes, animation of icons (on certain ctf themes) and it looks relaly cool..

btw, if u wanna use ctf themes here is an general explaination to install any plugins.. quoted from my above post:

Well,

1.) Search for a plugin wich is compatible for ur type of FW

2.) When u hv d/loaded the plugin, u will always get sum folders in the plugin, out of wich ONE OF THE folders WILL always be named as "seplugins"

3.) copy all the contents(all the FOLDERS) of the plugin into ur PSP's root i.e the place in the mem stick where there are folders like PSP, ISO etc etc..

4.) then boot ur PSP in recovery mode (switch OFF the PSP after transferring the plugin folders in the root of the PSP and switch it ON by pressing the R trigger and then Sliding the ON button)

5.) once in the recovery mode, scroll down to >Plugins and there u will see an entry named as <your_plugin_name>.vsh and the status of this plugin will be <disabled> coz u (for the obvious reason) hv not yet enabled the plugin (silly me..lol.. )

6.) select the plugin entry adn press X on ur PSP, to enable the plugin, EXIT out of the the menu and out of the recovery mode and let ur psp restart in normal mode..

7.) depending on the type of plugin u hv installed and enabled, it will vbe activated on ur PSP (read the readme provided with the plugin tat u hv d/loaded) for more instructions..

Cheers n e-peace....

^^Nice.... was looking for something like dat. I have instaled many .ptf themes though... including one Slipknot

.

^^
thanx, but i hv always been using ctf themes..

ptf themes are a thing of the past..

ptf themes suck.
@kpower
Can you post screenshots of the slipknot theme.

^^ here u go with the slipknot theme

Cheers n e-peace...

I have been using default PSP theme since last one month, got bored of ctf themes and the default theme acts fast.

btw the best ctf theme i have used till date is 'clear xmb' . Try it

H

currently my psp is on cfw 4.01 M33-2.whenever i'm trying to play POP:Revelations, the games starts,the loading screen comes,then the psp hangs and restarts.
is this a fw prob?sud i update to cfw 5.00 M33-3?

S

^^
IMO you should.
The other reason maybe that you .cso or .iso is corrupted

POP:Revelations runs on 3.90 so it should work on 4.x , get your game replaced.

^^ yup, agree to that, i also think the gmae file (iso or cso) is corrupted..

guys, its been a long time since this thread is lying dead, kya bat hain, itna sannnata kyun hain bhai ??

kisi ne koi naye games buy kiye kya ?? aare bhai log, kuch post karo..

^^Playing God of War Chains of Olympus again..... never get tired of it

.

^^

atlast sum1 replied to my SOS call. .

how many times hv u played this K ?? i m playing Puzzle quest currently..

I am playing nothing , haven't touched the PSP after diwali break

.
Work, what the f! .

^^ ooh.. poor lad..

BTw on my way back from diwali vacations, i saw three movies in train

Kung fu panda
The bank job
Superbad

Still 24% battery was left ,i am impressed with the battery bkup.

^^

wich batt are u using ? ?the same 1200mAH that PSP S&L originally has, right? ?? so how come the battery drain still shows 24% remaining inspite of watching 3 movies ?? :O:O is this normal for the batt. to last so long .. ??

@tarey_g;
Do you convert the movies yourself for the PSP? If yes which s/w?

^^Its something like PSPVideo Converotr 09...

I use Magic Video Convertor.

One more is there called WinAVI MP4 Convertor

Another one albeit a paid one is Xilisoft Video Convertor.

I have used PSPvideo 9, Xvid4PSP and what not... But it takes about 5-7 hours to convert a 700MB movie. Does it depend on system config? What are the average times you guys spend on movie conversion?

BTW my config:
AMD 64 3000+
512MB RAM
240 GB HDD
Win XP SP3

^^Yup, it solely depends on system config. Mine takes hardly 25-30mins.....

omg, 5-7 hrs for converting a video for PSP ?? sh*t... :O:O ur config is better than mine and my s/w takes jus 15 mins to convert a movie for PSP format..

I hv Win XP PRO+SP3+Vista transformation pack
2 GB DDR-I RAM
Intel P-IV 2 Ghz..

@ tarey_g waiting for ur answer buddy...

Cheers n e-peace...

S

i started using this pspvideo9 since last week and it has been working well though converting 700 mb does take around 20 mins ...enjoyed heroes season 1 and 2 and prison break after converting.have stopped using laptop to watch movies these days actually

In btw guys great to see psp fans on the forum - have been scratching my head real hard
to install cfw on ma slim. only problem have no pandora battery around and no fat psp.
was wondering if someone can help me here !!!!

can't wait to have my ff8 on psp !!!

any pointers ??

shri said:

IMHO it has probably to do with the settings you are using for conversion.
going with default settings without enhancing video(the quality is still decent) it took me round 20 mins for a 700 mb file on an intel core 2 duo xp sp2.

^^

welcome to the PSP fan forum..

well, i dnt think anyone here has a pandora batt.. but wait a min,... i think maxdemon (the user with this username) has this stuff.. so wait a day and he'll reply in this thread and help u..

also, wat game are u currently playing ??

btw, so are u on an OFW (official firmware) ??

im on CFW 3.90 m333 and currently playing Puzzle quest..

---------

Yup, i agree to ur point wherein u said the default setting for converting vids for PSP..

i think he must jus be applying alot of enhancing techniques and hence the delay..

hey ! thanks for the reply Ashu !
I got the method of making Pandoras battery but the hitch is to play my games i will again have to revert to normal.So having a Pandora (good name for da battery -how did they come up with it ? Reminds me again and again of Pandora's Temple stage in GOD of War - Real fun to beat !!!! Any suggestions for a good game in that category ? ) battery around and a cfw enabled psp makes it a real breeze.

Trying to catch some good samartian in Bangalore

Would be fun !
How about a small meet up ? we used to do it quite frequently on another forum .

In btw i have got ofw 5.xx running on my psp (i know iknow - i intentionally upgraded it from 3.95 , found out that dark alex alreaddy has the corresponding cfw out !thyought what the heck ! we will experiment with the latest !!!
Playing Ridge Racer 2 , finished around 80% (Had fallen in love with R4 when i played it on PS1 8 years ago ! Loved the tracks ,loved the music -always felt r4 brings a style to racing games that no other ,feels like you are driving in some beautiful locations with some gr8 music playing !

HI, Sry for the late reply .

I am using the standard 1200mAH battery, I saw three English movies(not long hindi ones) so total play time was roughly 5 hrs. I played the movies on lowest+1 brightness level (night time, higher brightness is strain on eyes) and had underclocked the xmb cpu settings (not very low or the movie wud become choppy, but i think the battery power was saved this way).

For video conversion i use PSPVideo9 or Xillisoft converter, and i convert movies to best settings for video and audio with full resolution 480x272, no compromise on quality

. Does not take much time , 5 hrs to convert a movie is insane , check the compression settings you have done.

@ashu, looks like you are stuck with puzzlequest

.

I am having hard time Defeating Lord Bane, that is the last fight and i am not still through it , so stuck on 99%

Reinstalled the codecs. Now PSPVideo9 is showing an estimated time of 59 min to convert a top gear episode (1 hour in length). Not bad. Not bad at all...

And bought a Sony MDR EX32LP In-ear earphone. Awesome sound.
Rs. 1090 at Sony Center.

any1 played Tom Clancys' End War?
heard that it aint that good a game.

Well, im in mumbai, so meeting with u personally wont be possible..i guess..

Also, the Pandora batt is NOIT named this way by Sony (i hope u must also be knwing this), its probably a glitch in the batt. wich was found by sum geeks and hence they named it this way.. but yes i agree its a cool name this.. Pandora

For good games like GOW, well its unique in its own category, (we all knw it)

, but yes if u like tactical shooters, then the SOCOM series and Syphon Filter series of games are a real blast, but the GOW type of games wud be the PRINCE OF PERSIA (POP) series..

btw, u shud also try out sum lesser known titles like Puzzle Quest too, they are awesomely addictive..

yup, i TOTALLY AGREE with ur take on the RIDGE RACER series, i too think they jus ROCK man..

hv played Ridge RAcer 2 (for the PSP) and they are jus satisfying and gr8 tracks too..

thanx for the screenies..

yup, EP 630 are also based on the same lines , infact the part where SONY is printed, is it hard ?? coz the EP 630's that similar part is soft silicon rubbery type..

but, yes it looks good, dunno how it sounds, as never used them.

Ya that part is made of hard plastic. Its comfortable though. Can wear them while sleeping. Doesn't hurt.

@ashu and Girish !!!
That's some list guys!!!

I feel like i opened the pandoras box !!!

in btw spiderman 2 is an an action adventure if you are talking about the genre!
But gotta say it's one of it's kind when it comes to swinging !

Guys any good link for an ebook reader for psp ?

@ashu,
I haven't tried any lyrics plugin. You can search qj.net for that. gaming sites are blocked in my office (obviously

)

^^

yup, no wonder... but will surely search at that site.. btw installed the latest version of Hold+ (its version 3.3) so now hv cxmb, screenshot, music and hold+ plugins on my PSP..

any other plugins apart from there are u using tarey ?

---------------

@ shercheeta: buddy, for an ebook reader i used IR Shell (a sorta app for the PSP, but got really bored with it)..btw "bookr" is an ebook reader plugin, it really didnt work on my cfw (3.90 m333) even though it claimed to be runnable..

search for these...

The PSP 3000 is out. INR 9440 only. Will get it after my exams.

^^

but, its NON moddable...

@Pathik, bad idea at the moment.
First thing its unmoddable so far (as ashu said)
Second thing is that 3000 has very bad interlacing issues ( Link )

^^^ the psp3000 has been modded by 'royginald'.though modding it wasnt as easy as with the 1k & 2k models.
the mobo is a TA-090.wat he did was he change the procy of the 3k psp with the procy of 2k psp.then downgraded the fw.the rest was he was able run homebrew apps and iso/cso games.the -ve side was that display and sound doesnt work (he was using it with his monitor),the reason being that the pin-out 4 the display and sound r diff for the new cpu.
he said that it'll be completely hacked very soon.

lol, when i read this part, i was overjoyed.

But sadly thats not a hack which is very feasible,i read abt that on QJ, you need a proccy of old PSP ! hehehe...

Haha!. But I still have 3 months left and by that time something good should definitely come up.

BTW what are the current rates of the PSP Slim at Ninja? Modded.

^^

well, afaik, NINJa still sells NON MODDED a.ka original PSPs at the official price adn to get it modded, u hv to pay an extra Rs.250 and he'll mod in front of u after removing the PSP straight from the official SONY packing..

but yes, this said,,... it was only wen the older PSP 2000 were available (with the old mobo) and i got it the same way as i said above..

i.e Rs.8990/- for the then OFFICIAL price of PSP S&L + Rs.250/- for modding my PSP to CFW 3.90 m333 (wich was the latest at that time)..

-------------

Yup, i agree to gaurav (tarey_g) as that hack on the new PSP with replacing the mobo is jus not such a breakthru in the modding world, it was simply a case of NEW CAR fitted with an OLD ENGINE..where the horns and headlights jus giv problems all the time..
--------------

to all: guys, any new games (not new in terms of release date but jus different games) for PSP tat any one of u hv tried ?? haven't GOT sum PSP games since a long while..

so sending out this SOS to all (girish, tarey, max_demon and everyone else too)

Breaking News

PSP 3000 finally, inevitably hacked !!

Hacking the PSP has long been a popular pastime, but the 3000 model has proven a tough nut to crack. Don't pop open the champagne just yet, though, Sony -- Datel has revealed a special battery peripheral called the Lite Blue Tool that boots the handheld console into service mode, where downgrades to earlier, cracked firmwares are possible. Of course, most older PSPs could be downgraded without any additional hardware and you only needed a battery like Pandora if you failed the idiot test and bricked your system, but be patient, pirates totally legit homebrew types -- Rome wasn't burnt in a day. Lite Blue is priced at an affordable

kabaddi, kho kho & kite-flying coming to PS2/PSP in 2009

Indian site dnaindia.com is reporting that Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) will launch PS2 and PSP titles that feature traditional games such as kite-flying, kabaddi and kho kho. The titles will have rural settings/backgrounds and there are also plans to take the games into international markets. They are set to hit India in March 2009.

quote:

SCE has outsourced the development of these games for Sony PlayStation (PS2 and PSP) to Hyderabad-based Gameshastra and will launch them by March 2009. It will also launch two quiz-based games on general knowledge and engineering, developed by Bangalore-based Candela Software.

Another Hyderabad-based game developer, Aurora Technology, is already developing the Hanuman-Boy Warrior game. All these games are in the beta (test) stage at the moment. SCE has laid down a roadmap to encourage local game developers, who are also less expensive than developers in other countries.

“SCE has formed a special team in London to provide technical support to developers and will also give them loans to buy the equipment required for developing these games. Sony is committed to sourcing development work from Indian companies,” added Bose. The company has set its eye on 40 other developers in India.

yup, i was also playing this game extensively, b4 moving on to KILLZONE LIBERATION

One thing to you both..

I am planning to buy a psp very soon... can u guys compile everything that has been discussed..the updation..downgrading...codecs..players.apps...games played...all the useful info in the FIRST PAGE.....

It be very useful rather than going through each page

Not a bad idea , but it requires time.
Hopefully someone can do that. I will append it to the first post , or you can ask any member having admin rights to do that.

Watching SlipKnot Disasterpeices concert on my PSP and magically it looks better than on PC. I think its bcoz the resolution of PSP screen is less and the video's is more and therefore it looks for crispier and DVD-like. Whatever it is, its fun to watch all nine of them headbanging up and down in DVD quality

.

@ashu
actually the game is like that. the game is about killing aliens and stuff. the weapons are really great.that password thing is true, you need to find the common number in two rows of number to hack the doors to open it. i haven't played it much so i cant tell you more.
coded arms, nfs undercover, daxter added

@tarey_g,the game surely seems to be mind-blowing,gonna try it very soon.Visuals are greeat.I got NFS Undercover for PSP but just can't find the right plugin for screenshots for 5.00m33

Completed SF Logan's shadow 9/10

.

@sunny, I think taking screenshots is a default functionality of the Sony 5.x firmware. You dont need any plugin for that anymore.

ok googled for it and found this, its upto devs to include Screenshot functionality in their games.

The new firmware also includes hooks for developers to implement a screenshot function in their games; the feature will only work in games

@ashu coded arms its not like both the games its a different game, but the controls are just like syphon filter.played nfs undercover, i dont think this game is any better than the previous ones. nfs carbon

wn the city was way better than this.
btw i made my bettery pandora yesterday.

S

@Ashu,very similar to the previous games.Controls are somewhat good but the game's boring.Graphics aren't very good either.

^^

thanx sunny and girish for ur views guys..

will be getting NFS UC by today evening.. and Coded arms maybe by tomo..

dude i have a phat psp the battery is 1800 mah. yesterday i was playing undercover got bored after the first area, LA is wayyy better.

Ok, guys

Feast ur eyes on the game---> NEED FOR SPEED-UNDERCOVER ("NFS UC" to be used throughout

this short review by me) for the PSP from EA SPORTS-- It's in the game....

First of all, having being played the previous 2 game titles from the NFS series,

1.) NFS Most Wanted
2.) NFS-Underground Rivals

on the PSP by me, these versions of NFS lacked sum serious controls features and the game was marred with really bad, infact aweful in game car controls. The controls were so so soft that even the slightest of motions on the analog stick wud send the car RAMMING (bangind/ scraping off its body) along the sides of the race trace (the street circuits)..

START OF NFS UC: The start of NFS UC begins with u (the player) at the wheels of a car and cops behind u, so u jus hv to drive well to move out of their sights on a broad (well NOT so broad, as the PSP screen is small..lol..) highway...passing thru a swarm of cars and other vehicles, basically jus get ur @$$ out from the cops grasp.. simple..lol... here is the screenshot (below):

*img7.pictiger.com/357/17412670_th.jpg

AREAS TO RACE: NFS UC has 3 locations (atleast this is wat i was able to figure out from the in game map) to race in and player starts from the SUNSET HILL location in career mode. (screenshots below):

Overall map of NFS UC:
*img7.pictiger.com/bd2/17412662_th.jpg

Map of one of the areas of NFS UC:SUNSET HILLS:
*img7.pictiger.com/3d7/17412642_th.jpg

RACING MODES: NFS UC has Circuit, Sprint, Outrun, TAKE-out-the-cops (dunno wat is eaxctly called, but this is my name given to this mode, wherein we bang Cop cars jus as in the PC version of NFS MW)...

CONTROLS: Well, in NFS UC, the controls are NOT really over the top, but yes, its been a lot more improved as compared to its predesessors (NFS MW and NFS UG Rivals).. and this time, in NFS UC, its day time racing
(atleast till the point where i hv played, i.e
Game Completed: 6% of the on going Career mode with,
Bounty: 16,440 and
Cash: $28,650, this after purchasing 2 new cars apart from my already owned car in game)

Also, the use of Slow mode (to slow down time while nearing a difficult corner or to dodge cops in tricky situations) is really a helpful thing, as i used them 1st tiem in this game and was really impressed with it.

The L trigger is for NOS and the R trigger for Hand brake, it is really responsive to make a U Turn

jus wen the cops get hot on ur tails..nevertheless, u can always choose ur control settings from 3 options (in the options menu)

GAME MODES: So, this game has a Career Mode, Quick Race mode and Multiplayer mode the many features wich are basic to every title of the NFS franchise, so nothing special to talk about.
I am currently in the Career mode and here I hv started with the SUNSET HILL (main area, out the 3 available main areas for racing), each sub-area (areas withing the main area SUNSET HILLS) has 3 or 2 or jus 1 type of racing modes where u hv to win to advance (unlock) further sub-areas in the same main-area.

Start of the Career mode with a cut scene (not decent graphics even)..
*img7.pictiger.com/e6a/17412666_th.jpg

Overhead camera jus b4 start of the race:
*img7.pictiger.com/2a7/17412672_th.jpg

Overhead camera jus b4 start of the race:
*img7.pictiger.com/ea9/17412673_th.jpg

In-game race screen..
*img7.pictiger.com/927/17412664_th.jpg

U can jus try and Win races in the sub area to really OWN the subarea or really go out there and DOMINATE
(by always having the biggest lead in timing while in 1st place of a race) i.e WINning with the biggest margin of time will make u DOMINATE the race and if u DOMINATE all the events in that particular sub area, then u DOMINATE that sub area.

SOME OF THE CARS OF CAREER MODE: screenshots below:

Nissan:
*img7.pictiger.com/fe6/17412651_th.jpg

Pontiac Firebird:
*img7.pictiger.com/9fd/17412654_th.jpg

Ford Mustang:

One of the Police cars encountered in-game while driving and the screen turns blue, same as in NFS MW (PC version):
*img7.pictiger.com/ebe/17412658_th.jpg

CAR UPGRADES: THere are Performance and Visual upgrades, the 2 types of upgrades available in game

for the Car...
Performance Upgrades has: Engine, Handling, Chasis, Turbo and Nitro upgrades (from level-1 min upgrade wich also takes a small sum of ur winning money to upgrade to level-5, the MAX upgrade)
Visual Upgrades has: Body Kits, Spoilers, Hoods, Rims, Tint, Paint, Vinyls,

SOUND TRACKS: The sound tracks included in NFS UC are really good, i mean some of them were NOT

at all liked by me (im not gonna mention wich ones, as many ppl wich jus pounce on me hearing this..lol..) but

im surely gonna mantion my favs for this.. wich were:

1.) The Formula of Fear
2.) Tempest (both the vocal as well as the instrumental versions of this same song)
3.) High velocity
4.) burning fence
5.) The warning... etc.....etc....

Also, if u hv ur own mp3 (placed in ms0:/MUSIC) folder, then u can make them play in game.. (i added sum Mike Oldfield, Delerium and Chicane songs) : D

TRACKS: the in game tracks are largely open and really wide high way kind of roads very much like those of NFS MW (PC version) so making the car burst out with full Nitrous will really make u feel the KING OF SPEED.. : D also wen at high speeds, the in game camera really shakes and in turn gives a real sense of thrill of driving a car (with level-1 Performance upgrades applied).

IN GAME VISUALS/GRAPHICS: Considering the PSP screen being really small, this time the graphics are really not up to the mark, cars really look choppy, the cop cars looks like its hired straight from sum outclass boring film, sum kind of really low budget crap..looks like the recession thing in the US has also affected the PSP gaming and graphics industry...lol...
The graphics are NOTHING much to be talked about, but each car really handles gr8 wen Performance upgrades are applied...

Overall, this is NOT the best of NFS titles to hit the PSP, but still its better than the previous titles of NFS...... : )

===============================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================

Hope u guys liked my review and atleast it was worthly of an applause, be it even the smallest of applauds (if not the loudest)..

I hv NOT gone by the book (reviews given by gaming sites) and hence its my 100% original review of this game.. comments are welcome... : )

===============================================

Cheers n e-peace....

Well done , i can't see the pics you have added in your post because the image host you have used is blocked in my office.

i started Call of Duty on PSP , boring so far. Also playing Resident evil1(PS1) on PSP, which is far more entertaining

^^ thank u for the appreciation..

btw, i hv used pictiger to host my images..

also Got Field Commander for the PSP... havent played yet..

great review of a faltu game.what kind of game is field commander and please do mention the controls. playing daxter now.great game playing it for the second time.

^^

well, thanx for the comment..

btw, field commander is a turn based strategy kinda game, gamespot gave it a 8.4 score.. so lets see how it is...will try it today.. : )

Awesome Review Ashu For NFS UC ..... Played it on PC and it was totally crap , lukin frwd to play it on my PSP after i get that modded

^^

thanx buddy, yup i agree there is NOT much to speak abt NFS UC.... as the similar game was NFS MW.. im jus hoping to get the PC version jus for the graphics and cars and tracks.. nothing exciting abt the game modes..

------------

Btw played FIELD COMMANDER.... if any of u guys hv played a turn based strategy game then i must admit wholeheartedly that this is the BEST and i mean THE BEST and TRICKIEST turn based strategy gmae for the PSP./.. play it and then only u can believe it..

although plz DO NOT expect crisp graphics for this game, the emphasis is more on the turn based strategy rather than the game's graphics..

if any one of u hv played MGS ACID (on the PSP) wich contained moving the lead character, Snake in steps of 3 to advance thru the game, then this game FIELD COMMANDER is relaly based on those lines...

I knw this is a really different genre of PSP game... (like say Puzzle quest was, wich combined puzzle+rpg elements to get a cracker of a game title for the PSP)...

Get it modded... wait... err I dont think you can mod a PSP-2004.. but I can be wrong. Ashu8888ashu8888, shed some light on this please.

^^ u can get the PSP-2000 modded ... no prbs. in doing so !

BTW , Ashu , Gaurav Or Pathik , have u ever shopped online and that too like from eBay US or like Amazon.com ?

He has a PSP-2004

Psychosocial wrote:

well mine too says model: PSP 2004 and i got it modded perfectly fine bro.. so it always doesnt mean that PSP2004 are un moddable..

To davidboon:

buddy,. ur PSP a.k.a PSP2004 seems to me (as it is on a OFW 4.01) MAY BE non moddable (as of now).. well im jus speculating this...

as in the USA version of PSP2004, they come loaded with OFW 4.05 (wich has the non moddable mobo the TA 088 v3 remember, all the numbers in the adjacent said mobo is required to term it as a NON MODDABLE mobo)and urs is OFW 4.01

Also, Sony Worldwide as well as Sony India said tat all PSPs after or in the month of Sept, 2008 will come with the new mobo a.k.a the TA 088 v3 (wich is simply NON MODDABLE PSPs..)

SO wen did u buy ur PSP ???

but WAIT.... (heres a life line for u)....try this...

Have a a look below the battery (not at the back of the battery but at the place where ur battery is placed on ur PSP and look on the psp console, theres this date code, what does yours say?

to give people an idea, if its the same as someone elses and its been cfw'd then you are fine, well in theroy anyway, cant hurt to check the date code thingy..

Mine says this ---> DATE CODE 8B ..so I modded it and installed CFW.. so check it and answer here..

Well, i hv just made purchases from ebay.in (the indian site of ebay) and NOT from the US site or Amazon for that matter.. so cant comment on that.. maybe u can ask the ebay.in ppl via email abt how secure it is to buy stuff from their site based at US..

-------------------

Cheers n e-peace...

-------------------
-------------------
EDIT: EDIT: well, I think the PSPs with OFW 4.01 hv the NON moddable T-088 v3 motherboard...

NOTE: (the 'v3' is important in TA-088 to term it as a NON MODDABLE mobo)...

but...DavidBoon also check out that DATE CODE tat i told above... and lets pray for the best... (but i still doubt its a non moddable PSP...

)
---------------------

----------------

Also read this below:

TA-088 v1 - This comes out with the 3.71 firmware. You can not softmod a P**dora Battery with this motherboard. However, this mobo can be h@ckd if you have a P**dora Battery and a Magic Memory Stick.

TA-088 v2 - This comes out with the 3.90 firmware. Same as TA-088 v1. However, this motherboard can only be h@ckd with the P**dora Battery and the DC7.

TA-088 v3 - This comes out with the 4.XX firmware (where X is the any number). This is the worst of all the motherboards you can get. This motherboard can not be h@ckd

............ so.... !!! hmmm.....

but...DavidBoon also check out that DATE CODE tat i told above... and lets pray for the best... (but i still doubt its a non moddable PSP... )
---------------------

Correct, PSP's with 4.01 firmware in the market have T-088 motherboard. my friend got PSP yesterday and had to pay 9700/- for a moddable PSP having 3.xx firmware by default. The PSP with 4.01 firmware was available for 8800/- .

BTW, in needd of a urgent info, i am going to order this 8GB memory card,
*www.lynx-india.com/products_pictures/Sandisk%20Memory%20Stick%20Pro%20Duo%20Ultra%20II%208GB-L.jpg
pls tell me if there will be any problem. All those who have 8GB mem cards in their PSP , is there any drawback of using it?
URGENT HELP NEEDED

!!!

^^Buy it and tell me if you have any problems... me needs something like this too

.

^^ Great ! you want me to be the Guinea pig

.

Anyways Urgent help needed , I have no memory card at the moment hence PSP is of no use until I get a new card !

@ ashu888
on the box its written that the psp was manufactured on october 2008

so does that meant its unmoddable ???

and the code written is
DATE CODE 8C

Arey Someone help me with my Query !!!!

.

somebody help me too
does any one know how to put 1.50 addon for 5.00 m33-3, whenever i try to put it formats psp's flash memory and i cant play multiplayer anymore.

@ ashu888
on the box its written that the psp was manufactured on october 2008

so does that meant its unmoddable ???

and the code written is
DATE CODE 8C

Well since,
1.) ur DATE CODE 8C (is different from mine, 8B) also,
2.) the PSP purchased by u is in the Month of Oct,2008 (wen Sony themselves announced that all PSPs will be REPLACED by the newer (non moddable) mobo the TA-088 v3 from the month of end Sept,2008
3.) also, it has come installed with OFW 4.01 (mine was with ofw 3.71)
--------------

All of these things really point to jus one possibility, tat ur PSP is unmoddable..

-----------------
but...!!!! there is one last confirmation tat u need to make..so read on..

See the bar code sticker (it will be a white colored and square sticker roughly of the size of 2"x2") on the PSP box there must be sumthing written like this way (below):
PSP-2004 PB
220-240V
G
<then a bar code> (with a sequence of numbers below the bar code)
<then another bar code> (with a 2nd sequence of numbers below the bar code)

THe info (is from my PSP Box) and it means: (line-by-line explaination as given below)
1st line: the PSP is PSP-2004 (model is 2004), PB=Piano Black (the color of the PSP in the box)
2nd line: the PSP requires/works on a 220-240Volts
3rd line: the letter "G", this denotes PSP Slim Series will have the letter "G" or higher..
4th line: a bar code (not meant to be decrypted) as it will make no sense.
5th line: another bar code (not meant to be decoded either) for the same above reason.

NOTE: If u hv a letter "C" rather than a "G" on the 3rd line, it will surely mean that u have a NON MODDABLE PSP with a TA-088 v3 mobo so plz check and post ur result..
--------------

This info SHUD be copied and pasted on the 1st page of this thread with the heading: Getting to know if u hv got a non moddable PSP... tarey.. do the needfull buddy...

(hope many of the guys here will agree with me on this..

AFAIK , there's no prbs with the compatibility of PSP with 8GB MS Pro Duo ... My brother's having the original Sony Memory Stick inserted in his PSP !

BTW , how much is this one costing you Gaurav ?

@ ashu888

I have the following information on the box

PSP-2004 IS
220-240V
G

so can i mod my PSP ??

^^

Hmm.... now u hv got me scratching my head...(confused).. u sure its mentioned as "G" and NOT as "C" ??

btw, really nice color, IS (Ice Silver)

well, u can try modding BUT DO NOT try it urself, take ur PSP to a modder, he will try modding it using a P**dora Battery+MMS(magic memory stick)... if ur PSP can be modded, the modding with be done in less than 2 mins..else if the PSP is NON moddable.. the P**dora battery+MMS will jus NOT respond... (so no fear of bricking ur PSP)..

But yes, please as a sincere request, take ur PSP to a modder... u'll be charged a bare minimum of Rs.250/- (if at all the PSP gets modded) if not, then u DO NOT pay him the money.. as simple as that...

btw, from where are u ?? Mumbai ?
--------------

To all reading this: Guys fyi, PSP comes in the following colors..:
1.) PB: Piano Black (this is wat i own, looks really good)
2.) IS: Ice Silver
3.) DR: Deep Red (this is wat i wanted actually, but jus cudnt find it

)
4.) MG: Mint Green
5.) CW: Ceramic White
6.) FB: Felicia Blue
7.) RP: Rose Pink
8.) LP: Lavender Purple
9.) BY: Bright Yellow

@ ashu888
i am from orissa .

I see, so i think there is a LEAST possibility of u finding a professional Modder to Mod ur PSP...

u will hv to atleast reach calcutta, Delhi to get it modded...

I hope u hv read all my replies regarding the PSP confusion...

All the best mate..

@ashu888
I purchased the PSP from a SONY authorised showroom in Bhubaneswar .
It cost me Rs 8750 . In the box i got the PSP and a charger with a couple of manuals .

me too did some research and found out psp with 4.01 oe not moddable, but you should really check with a modder.
btw somebody help me too, to install 1.50 addon for 5.00 m33-3.

The above queries leave me in confusion and tension too .... my PSP came with OFW 3.90 and is a PSP 2001 .... is that one moddable ?

only the newer versions of the psp slim are non moddable.

Ooh i see... well better take ur PSP to a modder and check it.. as it is even if u and I were sure that ur new PSP was moddable, u wudn't hv tried modding all by urself.. isin't it.. ??

BBThumbHealer said:

Well dont worry dude... jus check my post in the previous page (where i hv said in detail abt the DATE CODE and the BAR CODE thingy) and check for urself and post it here..

Btw...since u got ur PSP with ofw 3.90, u must SURELY hv a TA-088 v2 mobo wich is (a really good news for u) is TOTALLY Moddable..

I myself got the PSP 2004 with ofw 3.71 (wich simply means it has got TA-088 v1 mobo) wich is ALSO moddable, the only exception lies in the v3 mobo

guys.. anyone knows the price of psp-2000 and psp-3000. I'm confused coz when I search on net I found that some sites says 14K and some says 9K. and I've visited local stores but they've only psp-2000.

PSP 3000 - MRP Rs. 9,490.
PSP 2000 - MRP Rs. 8,990.

Thanks bro... I didn't know that sony is providing prices on their official site..

I surf the link you've provided and compare both the PSP version. But there is no much difference. Is it better to go for PSP 3000 in only 1000 bucks more? is it possible to upgrade firmware in psp 3000 to play ISOs?

PSP 2000 will be phased out and will be replaced by 3000 model. If you had gone through some of the previous posts you would understand that 3000 model is not modifiable (no custom firmwares) as of now. And you may be unlucky if the PSP 2000 model currently available has an unmodifiable board. Go through ashu888's posts for details.

better buy the psp2000 over the psp3000 as the newer psp 2000 and 3000 aren't moddable. psp 3000 has shorter battery life, screen issues.

monster hunter freedom,wtf,nfs underground rival added.
will be getting tomb raider anniversary soon.

Hi all,
I am having hard time finding a original 8GB MSPD. Please suggest me a reliable online shop or any shop in Pune from where I can get the card.
I checked www.lynx-india.org, they have quoted Sandisk MSPD Ultra II for 2700/- but they dont have it in stock currently.

^^

well buddy, here also i enquired for teh same (8 gb sandisk MSPD) and all the shops tell me tat we don't keep that capacity in ready stock but if i order, they will get them for me.. so basically even i hv to still confirm the price..

Btw, added

Currently studying for my Java exam and on PDFs on my PSP using the bookr plugin

I am now looking at the alternatives, as suggested by a friend I am gonna try Micro SD to MSPD converter with the PSP. If it works the i will buy 8 Gig Micro SD with the Adapter.
I hope it works well ,coz micro SD will work with my phones too.

^ How much is the adapter costing u ? BTW , Sandisk MSPD is available for Rs. 2750/- in Nehru Place.

I read on maxconsole forums , ppl are using MSPD adapter with SD cards and it works fine . One of my frind has that adapter , I soon hope to test it and post the details here.
If it works properly then bye bye to MSPD format

. SD is standard.

Adapter will cost 350/- approx

^ Gr8 ... it will be a gr8 boon for us then ... will surely dump the expensive MSPD over hell lot cheaper MicroSD !

^^

swear..

waiting for tarey to find the answers..

btw, any screenshots of how this so called adaptor looks like ???

You dont need screenshots , It looks like your MSPD

, coz it has to fit in your MSPD slot.

Ok this is the adapter, available on dealextreme
*www.console24.com/images/_psp_mspd_adapter.gif

The micro SD goes inside the adapter.

Head Over Here :::::: Link

Isn't This just Great ?

and costly

, 800/- for just the adapter

OOh thanx for the screenshot gaurav..

and for the link.. BB..

----------

Well, im ready to pay 800 bucks for the adapter.

coz micro SDs are at a fraction of a price as compared to MSPDs... but now i already hv 1+2+4+4 GB of MSPDs...

Cheers n e-peace...

WTF? 0.4kg? 400 gms?

BTW, Ashu, Tarey, you guys using 4.01CFW?

No , me on 3.90 M33-3 , all my plugins and applications are compatible with 3.90. if i upgrade i will have to go thru the headache of finding compatible plugins again.
I see no point upgrading the firmware atm.

BTW any idea of the price of a modded one in Ninja? any CFW will do.

Old PSP's are nearly out of stock, so these shopkeepers are charging more for old PSP 2004 models. my friend got one from Pune for 9700/- modded.

BTW , Pathik , nice to see u after a long time ! U hardly post on the forum these days

Y So ?

I think the Lynx Guy is charging a bit high for the adapter , will go to Nehru Place after my exams end in December end and enquire ( or rather buy ) it if it's cheaper over there

Pathik said:

BTW, Ashu, Tarey, you guys using 4.01CFW?

nope buddy, me too on 3.90 m333 and as tarey (gaurav) said below the hassels reqd. of compatible plugins.. im also sticking with the same cfw..

yup, gav (gaurav) im wit u man...

the plugins tat i hv it on my PSP with cfw 3.90 m333:
1.) Screenshots plugin
2.) Hold plugin
3.) Bookr (for reading pdfs)
4.) Music plugin (for listening to music in game+with hold plugin)

yup agreed to u totally man...

(tell me wenever u plan to upgrade ur cfw, as i will also do it tat time only)...

Pathik said:

well all the older PSPs (PSP 2000 with the moddable ta-088 v2 mobos) are out of stock or are close to getting outta stock, so if there are any few left in the markets, the ppl are selling them at abit higher prices...

btw.. here are tips to make sure tat u DONT accidently BUY A PSP wich is NON MODD@BLE:

a.) Ask wich firmware (a.k.a official firmware) the PSP has installed? Tis is the 1st step to confirm u buy a PSP wich can be modded later..if the sales representative says this:

OFW (official firmware or jus firmware) 3.71 then be happy as this PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v1(version 1) wich can be modded easily and hence ur PSP can be modded easily..
OFW 3.90 then again be happy as this PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v2 wich can be modded easily and hence ur PSP can be modded easily..
OFW 4.xx (where the xx may stand for any number like eg: 4.01 or 4.05 etc..) then PLEASE be really carefully as PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v3(version 3) wich CANNOT be modded AT ALL and hence ur PSP CANNOT be mo*ded in future

but if the sales person says that this is the only PSP (comin with 4.xx ofw is available, then nothing can be done abt mod*ing)

b.) the 2nd thing wich u shud check.See the bar code sticker on the BOX of the PSP (it will be a white colored and square sticker roughly of the size of 2"x2") on the PSP box there must be sumthing written like this (below):
PSP-2004 PB
220-240V
G
<then bar code> (with a sequence of numbers below d bar code)
<then anothr bar code> (with a 2nd seq of no below d bar code)

THe info (is from my PSP Box) and it means: (line-by-line explaination as below)
1st line: PSP-2004 (model is 2004), PB=Piano Black (the color of the PSP in the box)
2nd line: the PSP requires/works on a 220-240Volts
3rd line: the letter "G", this denotes PSP Slim Series will have the letter "G" or higher.. (this is important as u'll read later..)
4th line: a bar code (nt meant to be decrypted) as it makes no sense.
5th line: another bar (nt meant to be decoded) for same above reason.

NOTE: If u hv a letter "C" rather than a "G" on the 3rd line, it will surely mean that u have a NON MO*D@BLE PSP with a TA-088 v3 mobo so check it.

c.) 3rd step, tell him to open the cover where the battery resides, jus ask him politely
Have a a look below the battery (not at the back of the battery but at the place where ur battery is placed on ur PSP and look on the psp console, theres this DATE CODE, what does yours say?

Mine says this ---> DATE CODE 8B ..so I mo*ded it and installed CFW.. so check it,
if it is 8C, then it may be a non mo*d@ble PSP

BUT out of all these 3 points (a,b,c) the MOST IMPORTANT point wich will let u CONFIRM 110% abt ur PSP being mo*d@ble or no..is to see the OFW (official firmware) the PSP comes with... if it is 4.xx (sa said in point a.) then DO NOT buy it PLEASE..

===========================

this will be a really good info (above) for many a ppl..

hope i was clear in explaining the various things...

Cheers n e-peace....

Got hands on Adapter , will test it today

.

From where? Cost?

^+1 ... Hurry Up Gaurav !

^^ +1

im licking my fingers already to see the results and also the screenshot..

btw did u guys read my section of:
tips to make sure tat u DONT accidently BUY A PSP wich is NON MODD@BLE:
in my above post ??

..... (no comments tats y asking

)
--------------

Cheers n e-peace...

Tested the MSPD adapter with 4GB microsd. Works flawlessly

.
I 'felt' that PSP boot up was little slow (maybe). Everything else just felt fine, music, video, games, etc etc.

Final Verdict - Go get it

, I am ordering the Adapter+ 8GB microSD .

btw, any good place to get original 8GB microSd ? I think it will be easier to find this one rather searching for 8Gig MSPD.

Price for the adapter is approx 300/- , some one tell me the price of 8 GIG micro SD, 4 Gb is available for 600/- approx.

^^
wooooohooooooo
FINALLY ..

btw, from where did u purchase the MSPD adapter ?? and for how much ?? (coz my only concern is the adapter) the Micro SD i can get it anywhere...

also, the price of the Micro SD is really mouth watering...(600 bucks for a whooping 4 GB)....

also, gaurav, how do u transfer files onto the Micro SD ?? by being it plugged into the PSP slot itself and using the PSP in usb mode( I prefer this way only, plz tell me if this works or no) ?? or u using any card reader ??

Use any means, a card reader or thru PSP. I used PSP for transfer. Flawless.
i don't own any MSPD adapter right now, I got one to test from a TE forum member (we work in the same company, i came to know that a week ago

).
He got his adapter from dealextreme.com .

Awesome news man. BTW give a link of that adapter na.

dealextreme is blocked in my office

, so cant provide you the link. Adapter is also available on lynx-india but its a dual micro sd compatible MSPD adapter, costs 800+tax+shipping . The one i am using is for 300/-

^^

so u too purchased the adapter from dealextreme.com ?? right ??? plz provide me with the link (so tat even i can make the purchase).. actually im so excited tat in this excitement, i Dont wanna search on that site..jus want a direct link from u... lol..

---------

Cheers n e-peace...

Dude, i have not yet purchased it , i even dont know the link. I have requested my friend to purchase it for me . I have access to internet only in office and dealextreme is blocked here

.
My order is not placed yet, It will take min 15 days to ship.

btw 8Gb micro sd is 1,132/- excluding shipping and tax at lynx-india.com

*www.lynx-india.com/index.php?productID=1145

Deal Extreme MS Pro Duo Adapter Link

I Personally feel that Rs. 800 at Lynx India for the adapter is quite high .... So will search it elsewhere !

Ya 800 is very costly, inform us when you find a good deal.

BTW , i m lukin for the PSP TV-Out Cable too ! Are they easily available and wat do they cost arnd ?

To BB:

Well, i had posted many screenshots of tat AV cable (TV cable).. in this thread itself..along with the price (Sony as well as non branded maal too)... sorry a bit lazy to search the prev pages..

but about the prices, the Sony one (with 3 cables) costed around Rs.1200 where as the Non branded one (with 6 AV cables) costed approx. Rs.700/- (both with gold plated pins)..the Non branded looking better than the Sony one..

Is any customs duty charged on products shipped to India ?

I bought it on 9-12-2008 and it can not be modded

so exchanged it with a OLD PSP 1000 series (phat/fat one) with modded firmware 3.90 M33-3 (New one for OLD one :???:

)

Dont knw whether i did the rt thing or not, but this OLD one looks good (ice white color) and plays every dam game I put in its 4gb memory card..

So far tested....NFS, God of War, GTA liberty city and vice city and some more....all run smoothly...

Also I need to get a good charger for this...any pointer in hyd please and the cost of it...or any online shop which really delivers goods to Inida.

Good Day

The new had letter "G" and inside its says "8c"...so i guess no piracy supported
Sony is not selling old ones now, and I guess they are selling PSP 2004 just to confuse us.

Thanks for the post, sure it will help someone.

well mine too says model: PSP 2004 and i got it modded perfectly fine bro.. so it always doesnt mean that PSP2004 are un moddable..

To davidboon:

buddy,. ur PSP a.k.a PSP2004 seems to me (as it is on a OFW 4.01) MAY BE non moddable (as of now).. well im jus speculating this...

as in the USA version of PSP2004, they come loaded with OFW 4.05 (wich has the non moddable mobo the TA 088 v3 remember, all the numbers in the adjacent said mobo is required to term it as a NON MODDABLE mobo)and urs is OFW 4.01

Also, Sony Worldwide as well as Sony India said tat all PSPs after or in the month of Sept, 2008 will come with the new mobo a.k.a the TA 088 v3 (wich is simply NON MODDABLE PSPs..)

SO wen did u buy ur PSP ???

but WAIT.... (heres a life line for u)....try this...

Have a a look below the battery (not at the back of the battery but at the place where ur battery is placed on ur PSP and look on the psp console, theres this date code, what does yours say?

to give people an idea, if its the same as someone elses and its been cfw'd then you are fine, well in theroy anyway, cant hurt to check the date code thingy..

Mine says this ---> DATE CODE 8B ..so I modded it and installed CFW.. so check it and answer here..

EDIT: EDIT: well, I think the PSPs with OFW 4.01 hv the NON moddable T-088 v3 motherboard...

NOTE: (the 'v3' is important in TA-088 to term it as a NON MODDABLE mobo)...

but...DavidBoon also check out that DATE CODE tat i told above... and lets pray for the best... (but i still doubt its a non moddable PSP... )

slow ppl, i have ordered three days ago and still my order status is pending

on the other hand DealExtreme has shipped the adapter already and it will reach in 7-8 working days according to them.

No, I played on Ad hoc mode , means no need of wifi router. You just PSP's within range and you can start playing multiplayer. Supports upto 16 player in multiplayer.

@girish, we only had COD as common game that day so played it . Will try some racing game soon.

@ashu multiplayer can be played through adhoc(psp to psp direct connection) or infrastructure mode(through wifi router). i am using huawei WA1003A adsl router that came with bsnl connection. no idea about the price.
@tarey
i dont think there are much games supporting 16 players. me and my friends dont have any tension about common games in our psp. we have adhoc file transfer application. we send the games through wlan before playing.

What is the speed of the file transfer? i have that file transfer thing in PSP but never tried.

@ girish

thanx for the info buddy..

i get around 300-400kbps

^^ buddy, the wifi router tat u own, does it allow u to surf internet as well as d/l stuff (torrents) easily ?? or is there any MAJOR fluctuations (coz of disturbance or any such factors) ??

Also, do u hv a PPPoE/PPPoA type of BroadBand connection for ur wifi???

Ashu, wait. I can help you with the dealextreme thing. Wait for 2-3 days. Ll tell you soon.

@ashu
You can surf internet,but ive never downloaded anything from my router.btw torrents on psp suck.i have a pppoe type broadband.

girish.g said:

Slow !

@ Ashu , if u can wait , i'll be goin to Nehru Place at the end of this end coz my exams wd get over ... if u wish i can enquire the adapter there for u .... I think it will be cheaper over there !

One more thing , Transcend sells the MicroSD bundled with the adapter , Chk out this link ( See At Last For Prices & Product No. ):::: Transcend Adapter

U can thus contact Transcend Distributors in Mumbai and purchase it from there also , Here 's the address link

The bundle will cost u the same as Gaurav got it for coz assuming price of a 8GB MicroSD to be arnd Rs. 1200 , u get the bundle for Rs.1400 thus getting the adapter to cost u only Rs. 200 /-

Hope u r getting my point & it helps

tarey_g said:
Slow !

What did you expect?

girish.g said:
What did you expect?

I expected the same, that's why I don't find it useful to transfer hundreds of MB's over ad-hoc. for small files its ok.

btw, you and your friend have lot of patience

BBThumbHealer said:

Is it microSD to MSPD adapter or microSD to SD adapter, its generally the later one . Last time when i bought Micro SD card i got SD adapter with it and its of no use in case of PSP

.

btw, nehru place is the best place to get the adapter and other things. Its the biggest and best computer market in Asia.

btw, this thread passed 777 posts

tarey_g said:

I will surely wait for ur visit to Nehru place.. and wait for ur next reply abt the adapter..are u too planning to get the adapter for urself ??

and thanx for the transcend site, yup at the very bottom of tat site, this is mentioned..:

MEMORY STICK PRO Duo Compatible Card
1GB microSD with MS PRO Duo adapter TS1GUSD-MS Rs.373.6
2GB microSD with MS PRO Duo adapter TS2GUSD-MS Rs.452.6
4GB microSDHC with MS PRO Duo adapter TS4GUSDHC6-MS Rs.686.5
8GB microSDHC with MS PRO Duo adapter TS8GUSDHC4-MS Rs.1445.9

I jus wanna knw tat the last two (4GB and 8GB) are the same ones along with the MSPD adapter tat everyone is talking abt here ?? I mean shud i buy them ?? (If BB is not able to find them at Nehru Place) ??

I will still wait for BB to reply..

-------------
Also, is the micro SD and micro SDHC same formats for the micro card ??? i dnt think so, plz confirm

wat i believe is tat SDHC is better than jus SD and also smaller in size than the SD..

I hv found these 2 pics: (Not intend to buy it from a site other than India) but jus wanna confirn tat these adapters look exactly the same (with the ones sum ppl here are having)..

SDHC means Secure Digital High Capacity , 8 GB card is high capacity.
Just ensure that you buy a Class 4 card or class 6 card (I haven seen any class 6 card yet). The one I am using is class 4 .

Class 4: 4 MB/s
Class 6: 6 MB/s

^^

thanx for the clarification gaurav..

Btw,. shud i buy the transcend MSPD2microSD adapter ??? as in this below i think its a good deal..

4GB microSDHC with MS PRO Duo adapter TS4GUSDHC6-MS Rs.686.5

OR

8GB microSDHC with MS PRO Duo adapter TS8GUSDHC4-MS Rs.1445.9

Waiting for the stuff sucks

, lynx guy is very slow, he shipped the product 8 days after I had ordered and made the payment. The adapter from dealextreme is also not here yet, its coming from US so i expect min 15 days.

All those ppl who have doubt about the speeds of micro sd, dont worry. I am using a 4GB Micro SD card since last 15 days and everything works like it does on MSPD

.

btw, completed COD yesterday, avg game. 6/10 .

so u getting ur adapter from Lynx-india or dealextreme???

coz even im planning to either get it from lynx-india or T'cend's MSPD adapter..in a week or so..

Thanx a ton buddy !

guys i have a small prob i need help with,

see had just got my PSP and found that while storing music or videos or music my psp can only detect the files present till the depth of one folder.

ie. if suppose i have my music files stored in a folder which in turn is present in another one, my psp is not able to detect it, the farthest it will go is on folder

MUSIC/VIDS --> flder-->music/vids files [these can be read]

MUSIC/VIDS---->folder--->folder2--->music/vid files [Not able to detect]

I'm running 3.80 M33-5 .......whats the problem?

There's no problem. Thats the limitation of PSP firmware. You just have to live with it. Or use LightMp3 application.

^CRAP! and what abu for videos?

I use PSPlayerMT

BBThumbHealer said:

added mach and medievil resurrection.
mach is a great game,really addictive.

Me being a new owner am experiencing some problems with the psp. i'm not able to install light mp3 and such softwares. i would be gratefull if some would could guide me through the steps and tell me abu the various other softwaress. i had heard tht thr psp could be modded to extreme extents....i want to discover it all. i'm using 3.80 m33-5 firmware.

^^

Are u still on an Official firmware?? if yes, then u need to get ur PSP m0*ded and it will hardly cost u more than Rs.200/- to get a cfw installed...

Also, to install any plugins onto ur PSP, plz look into the readme of every plugin and make sure that the plugin u d/loaded MATCHES EXACTLY with ur firmware version or atleast supports ur firmware...

@ashu, napster is already on CFW 3.80M33.

@napster, download the applications compatible with your version of firmware, these are generally .pbp files, place them in PSP/GAME/AppName/Eboot.pbp

^^ ooh, thanx for the update gaurav..

btw, did ur adapter thing reachd u or no ??? I still havent planned on buying tat thing..

memory card has reached , i have my friends adapter with me but i have not yet got a chance to test it. I will post a small review in 2-3 days.

Hey SilentHill, plz tell me sum other mode of payment yaar other than a paypal.. i may take tat adapter from u...

Man this is ridiculous.
Just checked out PSP 2004 [moddable] prices at Lamington Road.No one's selling them for less than 11K.
While 3000 is for 8.4K
Now one can only wait till there's a crack for the 3000.
BTW, how bad is the 3000 screen?

i checked the 3000 yesterday......its for about 8.5 here in delhi.....

can anyone tell me the advantages it has over the 2004?

^^

PROS: better screen brightness than the 2004 version, (atleast this is the only thing wat i knw)

CONS: Cannot be m0d*ed, hence no home brew...

Cheers n e-peace...

I just went to the market today to get a mem card...the shopkeepers there are saying that the crack for the psp 3000 will be there very soon....what say?

@ Napster , if u wish to buy the PSP 3000 only , then i'll suggest u to wait !

Good news for Pathik and other who are planning to buy new PSP.

PSP-3000 finally screams 'Hello World,' homebrew to assuredly follow

by Ross Miller, posted Jan 5th 2009 at 10:21PM
The notoriously-difficult PSP-3000 model (also known as PSP Brite) has finally been hacked, this time without the need for a downgrader tool. MaTiAz's "The Sparta!!!" exploit was allegedly discovered after overwriting the player's name in a GripShift save file with "this is spartaaaaa..." -- with 57 a's tacked onto the end -- and is now available for download along with a new SDK. It's said to work with PSP firmware versions 1.52 through the current 5.02. The Hello World proof of concept video is after the break. Welcome to the homebrew community, Brite: we've been expecting you.

Thanx for the link bro, my purchase is a bit in abandon state..as i really need a Portable HDD now.. so lets see wen the lucky day for the adapter comes..

Guys what's the average battery life you guys get? on a full charge? answer fast...

Also what accessories did you get with the phone?

^^ phone ???

Well, the average battery life i get on my PSP playing games is 6-7 Hrs and while watching movies is approx close to 7 hrs..

*psp. What accessories? I am getting a USB charger / data cable. Did you guys get a normal charger as well?

Normal charger is available with the PSP pack.

Battery life ,

Games - 3.5 hrs approx
Video - 6.5 hrs approx
Music - 10+ , you can increase it if you use light mp3 or some powersaving plugins.

i get more than 3.5 hours on full charge at low brightness. and about 1.5-2 hours multiplayer(ad-hoc)

Got a used PSP. Slim 2004, 5.00 M-33.

Its awesome. Welcome me into your gang, guys.

thats great. welcome to the club.

Any idea where to get a PSP charger in Mumbai. Fake will do. How much will it cost?

Congrats. !!! , for how much did you get it ?

You dont have a charger then its a big problem !

Got it for 5k with a USB charger and Data cable and 4 GB M2. I need a normal charger as I can't keep my PC on for long periods. Even a AC to USB converter will do.

^^ Congrats for your purchase pathik .

Usb charger is crap, takes too much time, besides your data cable works like a usb charger when your PSP is connected to comp.

Welcome to our gang..

also, is ur PSP M0*ded ??

Btw, sorry cudnt reply to ur PM as was sick..

Pathik said:

Plz, do not go in for fake yaar...dnt take chances with the console..

Well, wen u connect ur PSP via the USB cable, it automatically charges ur PSP and tat too faster than the charging time taken wen u plug it via the Mains and AC adapter..

tarey_g said:

Yup, as i said above..

also the charging is faster than the charging time taken wen u plug it via the Mains and AC adapter..

Cheers n e-peace....

The thing is I am using a generic data cable. Dont know if it will charge faster using that.. Trying it out. BTW loving it. Playing GoW COO and seen a movie.

Doesn't really charge very fast in Data cable USB mode..

Tarey, Ashu, could you post a pic of your data cable and charger?

Mine is this one: *www.qfonic.com/images/products/psp2in1/image01.jpg

BTW, when I connect my PSP using USB, with the USB charging option on, the orange led lights up indicating charging but the battery icon on the top right of the screen doesn't blink. Is it right?

We have this one.

*www.vgamepsp.com/images/PSP-AC-Adaptor.jpg

The data cable i have is the normal mini USB to USB cable that you get with digicams/card readers .

*www.liquidware.com/system/0000/0016/USBmini_thumb.jpg

And yes, the way your PSP is charging is normal.

^^

ditto.. i agree..

Got a USB to AC adapter for 100 bucks. Works great and charges very fast.

BTW the original charger costs Rs. 750.

^^ co
ngrats...

Is ur PSP M0*ded.. ?? and u are on wich FW ?

Yep. Modded. 5.00 M-33. And its a 2004.

enable the USB CHARGE function in RECOVERY menu.

My MSPD adapter finally reached from DealExtreme.com 1 months after ordering (WTF !) and even bad news is that it is defective (WTF WTF !).

I already have a crap class 2 microSD card from lynx-india.com which they sell mentioning its class 4 (adding to that crap they also have written in the product description that the pack contains some sort of Micro Mate micro reader which i did not get). Now i have a slow micro SD card and a useless MSPD adapter and my PSP is sitting idle in a shelve.

What a waste of money and time.

^^

Well, i was having doubts abt the shipping issues, but the product itself is bad

poor u buddy...

My friend has the same adapter, and it works fine . May be its just my luck in case of dealextreme.
But the lynx-india.com case is horrible, how can they provide description of a product which is not available with them and send the customer some inferior counterpart !

^ Tough luck. BTW 95% done with God of War : Chains of Olympus. Recommend me some other games. Good ones. No FPS please. IMO they suck on consoles.

Finally got my PSP modded from Palika Bazaar For 100 Buxs !! But m still fearing if anything has gone wrong ... he's loaded the firmware 3.80 M33-5 ( i was literally trembling with fear when he was loading ) .. i had asked him to load the 3.90 M33 - 3 ... is everything ok ... is this CFW stable ?? can i upgrade my firmware to urs guys i.e 3.90 M33-3 ?? i have heard that its better !

Pathik said:

U wanna try horror?? then definately play
1.) Silent Hill-Origins

3.) Final Fantasy-Crisis core VII (dubbed in short as FF CC VII)
4.) Daxter (fun loving arcade like monkey ruled mayhem..lol..)
5.) WRC (world Rally championship) The best controls of a rally game on PSP

There ae many more tat i hv tried myself (close to 70 PSP games )

so jus tell me wich genre/type u wanna play and i will recommend u sum really awesome games...

Hv u contacted Lynx ppl and told them abt the inferior product.. ??
I think u shud adn also demand tat they either refund the money (wich is highly unlikely) so better ask them for a replacement and u ship back the product to them..

3.90 m333 the stable ?? boss its the MOST stable FW out there mainly bcoz many of us are on that same firmware (tarey and myself) for the past 6-7 months and everygame, every movie, every plugin jus works like smooth butter, u hv to try it to believe it.. if u can get this fw onto ur PSP its best (coz we, tarey and myself) will also guide un if u hv any problems installing stuff on that firmware..

But, also 3.80 is not bad at all..

but i cant really comment on tat (for the obvious reason) tat i hv not used that fw..

But since the modding took jus 100 bucks, then plz go and tell him to load 3.90 m333 into ur PSP...

------------------
NOTE: I hv checked out sum of the older PSPs at Croma, Malad (Mumbai) and (i feel) tat they are the ones which are capable of m0d*ing... Jus a small info for those who are still searching for the older SLIM PSPs...

Thnx for ur quick reply bro !! actually i was askin abt 3.80 M33-5 .. is that stable and runs everything ?

Also can't i update the CFW on my own to 3.90 M33 ... m having the CFW files ( 3.90 M33-3 ) ...my main problem is that the modder told me not to upgrade any other version coz it will get the drivers corrupted .. is this true ?

Main cause for me is that whether it is safe to upgrade ( for a CFW noob like me ) or will i end up in bricking my PSP ?

You can easily upgrade to any custom firmware you want.
Although you will need Pandora battery if you want to downgrade.

Didn't like PataPon much.

Trying out Prince of Persia Revelations soon. Burnout Legends is ok, NFS UnderCover is good.

Call of Duty: Roads to Victory's controls suck.

BTW how do I shut the PSP down and how do I get it to sleep. IT happens randomly in my case.. Short presses always get it to sleep, but long presses sometimes shut down and sometimes make it sleep. Any fixed method? I don't have the manual.

What conversion software do you use guys?? PSP Video9 videos are too bug. So is the case with PSP Magic as well.

Also list all the plugins that you guys use.

Just updated to the latest. v5.00 M33-4 . Working great.

Any way to play XVID/DIVX on PSP?

In 5.00 M33-4, there is a "Shutdown Device" option in the menu. (Press 'select' button)

Well, as tarey said tat its easy, but yaar y u wanna take a chance ???

Kuch gadbad ho gayi toh ??

Also, (as u said in ur prev post) tat modding costed u jus Rs.100/- naa ??? so yaar u can always spend one more Sau ka note and get urself a 3.90 m333 fw..

tarey_g said:

Yup, rightly said..

But i still prefer to take my PSP to a m0*der and get the PSP upgraded to a higher fw in future (if need be)..

Well, Patapon is a 2d (sideways) kinda game wich many ppl loved adn sum didnt..btw after reading ur above reply it seems tat u wanna try out the games wich were released for the PC platform as well..and NOT exclusively for the PSP..

But, yes everybody has different taste.

Yaa COD sucks, but if u wanna try the BEST and i mean the REAL BEST and the REAL BEAST of a game of Tactical Shooting then close ur eyes and jus get these following games...

1.) SOCOM Fireteam Bravo
2.) SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 2
3.) SOCOM Tactical Strike
4.) Killzone liberation (an isotropic and top view kinda shooter game)
5.) Syphon Filter-Logan's Shadow
6.) Syphon Filter-Dark Mirror

If graphics, gameplay and awesome controls are wat u crave of, then the above titles will surely get u moving.. believe me..

-------------

About the s/w I am using for converting movies for PSP, well i use "ImTOO Video Convertor"

Also, the plugins tat i hv on my PSP are as follows:
1.) Screenshot plugin ver1.2 (for taking in-game screenshots as well as any type of screenshots of the psp)
2.) Hold ver3.3 (to make the PSP play MP3 files while its being in HOLD a.k.a SLEEP (and NOT shutdown) mode, really saves the battery power)
3.) Bookr 0.7.1 (for reading PDF files onto my PSP, i use it to go thur my Adv Java Dumps (mock ques) wen im travelling

)
4.) Music.prx plugin (for listening to my fav mp3 songs while playing a game IN PSP)

Cheers n e-peace....

@ Ashu , problem doesn't lies in the fact of spending Rs 100 bux more , but i really don't like to go to Palika coz its arnd 1 hr from my house easily ! That's why m askin ..

I really didn't like the 3.80 M33-5 coz i got used to sum of the nice features in OF W 5.00 like the Sleep timer and other small options ... now they are absent in this CFW ....
can't i just upgrade to the 5.00 M33-4 ? are the basic plugins ( like Bookr , Hold , CXMB Themes ) easily available ??? Please recommend !

^^

i see... hmmm..... (lemme put on THIS time, my thinking cap)

Well, all those plugins are AVAILABLE for the FW 5.00 (but u'll hv to search for them on google)..

Also, u can migrate from 3.80 to 5.00 (google for that) but wat i wanna ask is, tat u still wanna m*d ur PSP all by urself ?? pplz say its easy.. but if i were u i wudnt hv taken any chances..

The place of the m0*der from my house is like 2 hrs but i'll stiilll go to him if i was supposed to get my PSP modded...

@BB, If its already modded, you can easily upgrade the FW in 2 mins.

Thanks Ashu.

BTW you giving the SCJP? When?

i'm back to 5.00 m33-4, had 1.50 addon put on 3.90 m33-3 then it gave some problems and i couldn't play multiplayer and stuff so i upgraded to 5.00.
expanded my collection to 92 games,playing shawn white snowboarding now.give it a try it is a great game.
btw killzone liberation sucks, the camera and gameplay are not that great.
try chili con carnage, great game, not like socom, it doesn't have any instance of stelath, all tod phod.

Yes its easy, just read the read me properly.

Didn't like Shawn White Snowboarding much.

And Bookr doesn't work on 5.00 M33-4.

^^ Thats why we are still on 3.90 which has many compatible plugins/apps .

Pathik said:

Once you have a CFW, upgrading to a higher version is as easy as opening a game.
1. Download the CFW (say 5.00 M33-4) from dark-alex's website. (232 kB)
2. Extract it into ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/
3. Download the OFW (5.00 original) from anywhere, rename the file to 500.PBP and place it in the same folder (26.5 MB).
4. The folder should now contain 2 files - 500.PBP (original firmware) and EBOOT.PBP (custom firmware)
5. Disconnect your PSP from the PC, run the program (Game-->Memory Stick-->PSP Update ver 5.00). No need to connect to Ac adapter, battery need not be fully charged.
6. Follow the instructions. Dont turn off or interrupt the process. It will be completed in about 5 mins.
7. Reboot (May happen automatically). Done!

Downgrading to a lower version of CFW (also initial moding) needs a pandora battery.
I dont have much idea about this.

Hope this helps...

^ Thanks man.

Working great...

Thanks guys for all ur support n motivation

... Finally m too on CFW 3.90 M33-3

Now can i have a list of all the exciting plugins with their download links for my CFW ... m also lukin for sum interesting Custom Themes ..

Need a better video conversion method. Tarey, Ashu, Shri, BB, list yours.

^ I use the Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate For conversion to PSP Format ... doesn't takes much time and quality is good too !

Guys , i m unable to get the CXMB Plugin to work .. actually when i enable that ( using Recovery Mode ) , automatically a Vista theme get applied in addition to my other custom theme ... like the icons of the two appear simultaneously ... i have transferred one CTF theme to my Theme directory but the theme doesn't shows up in the menu ..

Can any one help ...

Also , while surfing thru the net .. i came across the Recovery Flasher plugin which allows to downgrade to any other CFW without use of Pandora .. is it reliable ? anyone's tried it ??

Yup, many of the plugins are not updated to support 5.00+ fw so hence the problem..

I think the version of Bookr tat u were trying to use and the latest too was Bookr ver0.7.1

For the cxmb, plz try and disable the plugin from the recovery mode and then try again.. also make sure there are NO ptf them in the THEMES folder (not tat they will interfere with the ctf ones) but still..

If u still are annoyed, jus format the MSPD (wen it is inside ur PSP) after taking a backup of ur savegames profiles (u dnt wanna be playing all those leves again) and see wat happens.. i think tat shud eliminate the conflict completely..

There is a music.prx plugin for the PSP (google for the same) Wich will let u listen to songs (even while playing ur game on the PSP) and also there is this very useful HOLD plugin (ver 3) wich will let u listen to songs after switching OFF the PSP to a standby mode by the help of the HOLD mode (put the PSP ON/OFF switch in reverse/down mode) to get ur PSP into HOLD (sleep) mode (wich is NOT OFF mode)

I just switched over to PSPVC 3.41 (pspvc.nswardh.com). Pretty simple to use, doesnt confuse with a lot of options and settings. Conversion speed is decent considering my PC config (AMD 64 3000+, 512 MB RAM), but with dual core processors it should be much better.
But mostly I download converted videos. Check your pm.

^ Thanks. I don't mind the conversion time but most of the converted videos are bigger than their normal DIVX/ XVID sizes. Any way to reduce that without hampering the quality,?

Set the video bit rate to 500-600 kbps. Audio 96kbps 44.1kHz sampling. And of course, lower the resolution.

Good News ,
I dissected the faulty MSPD adapter that I got from Dealextreme.com with blade, repaired it and put it together with cello tape again, and now its working fine

!! .
Only problem is that the adapter got fat as i applied brutal force to rip it apart and some amount of thickness is due to the cello tape, but i somehow managed to fit it into the PSP.

Playing Pursuit force Extreme justice.

^^ lol..

i was certain tat u wud be resorting to such tactics after wating ur @$$ long duration to get it shipped at ur door step..

Actually i have tried disabling the plugin more than once but no respite from the problem .. But yet to format my MSPD .. Also , where should i keep my PTF files like u have suggested ? Shall i create a new folder for PTF files within the same themes folder and place 'em over there ? By this way , CTF files will remain in the themes folder.

Also , can u guys suggest a nice Music n Video player for PSP ?

Guys , i m unable to get the CXMB Plugin to work .. actually when i enable that ( using Recovery Mode ) , automatically a Vista theme get applied in addition to my other custom theme ... like the icons of the two appear simultaneously ... i have transferred one CTF theme to my Theme directory but the theme doesn't shows up in the menu ..
Can any one help ...

Also , while surfing thru the net .. i came across the Recovery Flasher plugin which allows to downgrade to any other CFW without use of Pandora .. is it reliable ? anyone's tried it ??

Can u ppl recommend one nice Music n Video Player for PSP ?

1.download the cxmb for your firmware,copy th cxmb and seplugin folder to the root of memory stick, enable it from the recovery menu, subfolders in the theme folder are not recognized by the system
2.that must be hellcats recovery flasher, i have it but didn't try it yet.
3.for music - lightmp3 and for video - ultimate psptube

@tarey_g how is the game??

Finally formatted the MSPD and also removed each n every PTF file from the Theme folder and just left one CTF file ... still not the CTF Themes show up in the Theme menu of PSP ... like earlier too , enabled the CXMB plugin from the Recovery menu... CFW is 3.90 M33-3 .. got the CXMB plugin for my CFW from qj.net..

Guys please help me out ! Literally m bored of the old PTF themes ...

Pursuit Force is good timepass, story is ok. Driving and the acrobatics while driving are fun.
Worth trying

did you copy the cxmb folder with the seplugins folder?? have you downloaded cxmb for your firmware?

Yeah downloaded the CXMB plugin from QJ.net for CFW 3.90M33 ... pasted the CXMB ( it has a Support Folder and CXMB.prx file ) and SEPLUGLINS (vsh files ) folder to MSPD root ... when i enter the recovery mode , the CXMB plugin gets successfully enabled too ...

i just can't figure out what the problem is ! Please help me buddies ...

BBThumbHealer said:
Thanks Ashu !!

Actually i have tried disabling the plugin more than once but no respite from the problem .. But yet to format my MSPD .. Also , where should i keep my PTF files like u have suggested ? Shall i create a new folder for PTF files within the same themes folder and place 'em over there ? By this way , CTF files will remain in the themes folder.

Also , can u guys suggest a nice Music n Video player for PSP ?

Installed Bookr , Xplora And Hardware Interface Alarm Plugins to my PSP.

Haha ... As Ashu said , it was expected Congrats dude

Well, all the themes files (.ptf or .ctf) go into the THEMES folder

ALso, for a Music plugin, u can search for "HOLD" plugin wich will allow u to listen to songs even wen the PSP screen has ben switched off, its like a power saving tool, a gr8 plugin..

@Ashu , thanks a ton bro .. finally got the CXMB working ... m loving the eye candy of CTF too

I got the nes,sega,ps1(popsloader) emulator from QJ.net . There are many available but if you want to know which ones i am using then you will have to wait till tomorrow as i will have to chk their names in PSP.

But you can go ahead and try the new versions , its easy.
www.pspupdates.qj.net

How do we get the Music Plugin & Screenshot plugin to work ? i have enabled them both in the Recovery menu ... but when i browse through the games menu , music stops automatically instead of playing continuously ...

Also what are the key combinations to take the screenshot ?

Plz name ur own plugins (as i took the cxmb and many other plugins as well, from u itself long time back) and jus a few days back forwarded the same Cxmb to BBTHumb as well..

Wat this does is, tat we all guys here (on 3.90 m333) will hv the EXACT same plugin files and hence troubleshooting will be a lot easier (as BB found out for the cxmb)

Well, I hv NOT tried the music plugin (even thou i hv enabled it in the Recovery menu..

)

For the screenshot plugin(if u are using all the same plugins as given by me), the shortcut key is the Music note button, wen u are playing a game and want to take a screenshot, jus press the music note button once,

BUT, beware, sum games DO NOT support the Screenshot plugin and the GAME might freeze causing u to hard reboot (to remove the battery from the PSP and reinsert it again..)

HV u tried the HOLD plugin ???

Hi all,
Really great discussions going here...

I need somebody's help.I had purchased PSP 2004 with 4.01 firmware in oct,08.I can't afford to buy UMD for each game.I contacted few shops in pune and delhi for cracking my PSP.Everyone is telling me that 4.01 firmware crack is not available.

Plz tell me that anyone having knowledge about where to go for cracking PSP 2004(4.01 firmware).Guys,Plz help me .

Any shop in Banglore or delhi will do.

Thanx in advance.............

^^

ur PSP CANNOT be m0d*ed i.e cr@ck3d..so u are left with nothing to do with ur PSP....I hv already and many times written in this thread abt how to make sure u NOT buy an unm0d*able PSP,

exchange your psp with a moddable one. my friend bought a sep 08 psp 2004 that too cam with 4.01 CFW. imo your psp is pretty hopeless.

i think many ppl have made this f***ing thin clear that psp's wth 4.01 firmware cant be modded or hacked then y are u trying to modd it even dark alex couldnt do it.

ur totally wronge(ok.. partial) here, dark alex has already invented the HEN CFW for new psp-3000 but it needs to be activated with that GRIPSHIFT umd every time the psp is restarted. we already saw the video of that on youtube. the reason y he is not releasing it is because sony would patch it if he releases that kernel mode of exploit. besides he will release it when he successfully manages to patch that HEN in flash 0 just like pandora battery do.
any one who wants that GRIPSHIFT UMD just PM me as i have that.

dude how much for the umd?? does that mean homebrew support for psp 3000 and non moddable psp 2004

S

its for Rs.3000+shipping (dont tell me its high)
and yes it means hombrew for psp-3000 & 2004
i have checked it myself with the first hombrew game PONG for psp-3000 & psp-2004 with the US version UMD.
i got both US as well as EUROPEAN version.

what about game iso??

iso

.

The hack is accomplished if you have the gripshift 'UMD'.
Purchasing gripshift won't mean that you can play your ripped UMD game images on PSP. It potentially allows PSP-3000 systems to run homebrew.

dude i m not wrong as i only said psp 2004 cant be modded if u know how to modd then u shld know pandora battery runs on psp 2004 but as psp 2004 dont read ipl's from memorystick u cant modd a psp 2004
and i know dark alex has released homebrew for psp 3000 but u cant categorize them as modded psp's as they dont fully function as the one's with cfw installed.(still u might know that psp 3000 neither reads ipl from memory stick nor does it recognize pandora battery's serial 0XFFFFFF it only recognizes 0X000000 which resembles to tahat of autoboot battery)

ne1 who wants their psp modded and stay in gurgaon or delhi can PM me ( of course except psp 2004 or 3000)

he has already invented a HEN CFW for these new psps but he has not released them as of now.
what i have heard is that they are working to crack the security of ipl of new psps with the help of that gripshift exploit so that they can dump it thereby providing access to the pandora ipl on these new mobos.

i think wt raghav means is that cfw for psp is not released and he is not talking abt it being made.

anyways... hey pals i would like to know who on this site has that GRIPSHIFT UMD and how many. i had 5 initially but i sold 3 of them on EBAY US site for approx $70+shipping per umd.
so at present i have only one EU & US version UMD. i will keep one with me for cracking psps in future in my city.

wb (welcome back) buddy..

Yup , have enabled that but as said above , configuring its use ! Do we only have to press down the Hold buttons , rest it works on its own ?

Yup, once u hv enabled that plugin (from the recovery menu), then wenever u wanna hear to any song, jus play the song and then make the PSP go in HOLD mode (So tat the PSP's screen switches OFF but u can still hear to songs and jump to the next song as well..

It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 60MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode. LEDs are flashed once in 30 seconds so that the PSP is not mistaken to be powered off.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.

While the PSP is in hold mode, if you first hold down the Select button, you can use the following buttons: Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Vol+, Vol-, Start.

eg: Select+RTrigger=next song..so jus experiment with the key combos..

M too playing the NFS MW and NFS Undercover !

Today Morning , when i powered it on nothing happened , i thought it was out of battery therefore , i just plugged it onto AC Power and immediately a BSOD came up and i was just stunned ..... it askd me to press "O" button to exit .. i did that and PSP came back to normal ... But still wondering why it had happened ?

The only thing that bugs me in the default music player of 3.90M33 is the absence of a Sleep Timer ...

I think its present in 5.00M33 but don't want to leave this CFW ..

Seems Like The Only Option Left .. But yesterday , i experimented the same but this time nothing happened and the PSP played the music fine and went into sleep mode accordingly as set.

The only thing that bugs me in the default music player of 3.90M33 is the absence of a Sleep Timer ... I think its present in 5.00M33 but don't want to leave this CFW ..
Any other alternative to my solve my problem ??

BTW , Got two new player One's PMPlayer & The other one is Xandu's Media Player... Checking 'em out and will post the results !

u can create ur own p@ndora battery and creating mms is an easy task

Guys,I've got a spare battery and wanna make a pandora battery but need some help.
1.Can I make it with 5.00M33 firmware?
2.What is MMS?
3.Can you guys provide me with a tutorial if it isn't against the forum rules?
4.Are there any chances that I'll brick my PSP?
Thank You.

^^
as a request to everyone

, can this modding and p@nd0r@ talks be continued via anyother means rather than posting this here openly ( khullam khulla...).....

hope u guys knw wat the other means are.. so plz resort to those and keep this thread clean of all these things..

S

ONe more querry,is updating via network update safe for CFW? I mean can it get screwed that way?

^^ its safe, but read the manual abt the precautions tat u need to hv while updating FW online, i.e the battery shud be 100% and so on..

To p!e:

yup, the game is nice buddy, but as tarey said, nothing beats the GOW in graphics and gameplay, not even the POP series on the PSP..

To Teray: hey buddy, seeing u after a long time ! whr hv u been these days ???
I was busy building my Killer gaming rig these days.

I have been too busy, recession time ppl. Gotta work harder

Next game i am going to try is Mercury meltdown.

Hello everybody,
I am Manish from Mumbai. Have been a silent reader for a long time.
I just wanted to ask whether is it worth buying a used PSP (phat/slim) now, since the price of "rare" PSPs have gone up to almost 12-13k. Even though PSP-3000 may be h***ed one day, its interlacing issues seem rather scary.
Also let me know what things to watch out for in a used PSP. I only know about the dead pixel thing.

Thanks in advance.

^ Buying a used PSP for 5-6k is the best thing to do. I got one about a month back.

Well, apart from the Dead Pixel thingy, there is noting else to worry about...

make sure, the PSP u are buying (a used one) is NOT fresh but it is loaded with CFW.. (Wich is but obvious) ..

also, try to get a used PSP SLIM rather than a Fat one.. (jus for the looks point of view)..

^^ sorry ashu, i didn't get time to upload the popsloader compatible to 3.90

. I will soon do that with a small tut so you dont have to dig for it here and there.

^^

not a problem gaurav..

take ur time , i appreciate u writing that info to me..

Anyone has game saves of Midnight Club LA Remix after full game completion?

sorry, im not the one..but u can get game saves from pspiso.com

bro.. PSP with modified CFW is not available. sony has replaced all PSP to unmodified FW. BTW you can purchase second hand...

Ashu, congrats. What was the total damage?

by friends buying new psp 2000(TA-88v3) or 3000 series and coming to me for modding . but unfortunately they go with sadness . unfortunately they havent asked me while purchasing . and price of "rare " psps are going upto 12k-13k even secondhand

I wont sell mine even for 12k

. I hope the new ones get modded soon and prices come down.
PSP is a 70% PMP and 30% Portable gaming gadget for me .

Cheers n e-peace....

Sorry all for hijacking the thread

.

@Ashu, thx for the input , but i could not completely understand your problem

. Can you please explain.
I have made modifications in my code and made a Firefox extension instead of the greasemonkey plugin for it. So you wont need greasemonkey plugin from next time , just add the extention to your firefox addons and its done, and yeah i have added some new features too. I am still testing it before i provide the link for it on the thread. I will try to include the fix for your problem too (so please explain it).

and please post in the official thread for this so others wont have problem here.

Edit: Ashu i think i got your problem , please try the same after disabling the plugin . I htink its the problem with the forum itself, i disabled my script and still i could not see my post updated on the thread. Please confirm this, if its a folum bug, then i can not help

.

thanx for the reply buddy.

yup, will try disabling the script and see wat happens..

try out RESISTANCE RETRIBUTION its awesome dude, and also try out PRINNY which is a platform game.

well, does the game.. MLB 2K9 work on 3.90 m333.. ?? I got it but its NOT working.. os any ideas.. ??

hello everyone... i am new here... :razz:

from mumbai...

my english is poor so please try to understand me..

i wanna buy a new ppc... (4 my 10 year son) for his birthday present...
1) so guys pls. help mi out and suggest which one 2 buy and from where...

2) i visit croma ... there is price of the new 3000 series is 9700/- is it ok or its higher side...

3) and let me know for every game, i have to buy new cd? and what its cost appox.?

4) is there internal memory or have to buy memory card... how much GB memory card supported? and what the cost?

Thanks in advance....

2.) Croma has the 3000 series of PSP SLIM AND LITE, wich is jus NOT moddable... they had the 2004 series PSP a few months back wich was priced at 8990/- and this one was moddable.

3.) DO NOT waste ur money on UMDs known as Universal Media Disks (they are mini DVDs for PSP usage ONLY)

instead, buy a 2004 series PSP wich can be m0dded (at lamington rd., grant rd east) and then u can insert games into the memory card (MSPD=Memory Stick pro duo from sandisk) and then let ur Son play it..
the approx cost of UMDs (PSP game DVDs) is from Rs.999 to 1699/-

so its a costly affair.. (i had written a full explaination on HOW TO find out if ur PSP is moddable or no) so plz search the first 10 pgs of this thread)

basically, if the PSP comes with 4.xx firmware, its a NON moddable PSP (containing a non moddable ta008 v3 motherboard inside it, so DO NOT buy that)

look for PSP's with 3.xx firmwares...

(though they are hard to find in the market as Sony Worldwide and Sony India replaced all those moddable 2004 PSP's with the newer PSP 3000 models

4.) U get Sandisk's memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards wich can be inserted into the PSP's card slot (located at the side of the PSP) and the price of these cards are as follows (jus an approximate pricing plz.. )

1GB MSPD (Sandisk) -------------> Rs. 700/-
2GB MSPD (Sandisk) -------------> Rs. 1200/-
4GB MSPD (Sandisk) -------------> Rs. 1500/-
8GB MSPD (Sandisk) -------------> <no idea>

(guys correct me if im wrong on the pricing part)

and a max of 16GB is support on the PSP...

absoluely agreed , w'out a doubt..

New firmware is out :

The latest official PlayStation Portable firmware from Sony has finally made it out of the paddock and into the wild. That's right folks, you can now download and update your PSP to firmware 5.50. Here's a quick look at what it brings:

* XMB Information Board similar to the PS3's
* Unregistered browsing on the PlayStation Store
* Create and access sub-folders for music, videos and photos
* Internet search for games directly from the XMB
* Free trial for two Trend Micro Internet security services

source :*pspupdates.qj.net/PlayStation-Portable-firmware-5-50-now-out/pg/49/aid/130571

I think i will finally upgrage my FW because of the third point.

^^

thanx for the update buddy..

bte, since u (and me) are on the same FW 3.90 m333, will the update be possible from 3.90 m333 directly to 5.50 ?? plz post ur steps (wen u upgrade ur FW) ..

sure

5.50 or 5.50 m33

M33 obviously

. DA never disappoints.

thanks for the review bro good job

Waiting for DA to release the CFW.
btw PSP2 details are also out :

*img.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/130630/pspls_qjgenth.jpg?558720

Here's what PSLS pretty much confirmed and concurred with as "facts" from that post:

* UMD is dead. Sorry folks, UMD IS dead, they got this one right
* Touch Screen. PSPWorld states that this is a given as this seems to be the trend the industry is heading towards. Well Sony boasts it s Like No Other and that is the truth, Sony doesn t follow trends, it sets them. There will be NO touchscreen in the next PSP.
* Monstrous Hardware Specs If that were the case, it WOULD be the PSP2, and the next PSP is NOT the PSP2, it s not the PSP-4000 either. In fact it s something entirely unique.

As for the fiction in them:

* Release before Christmas 2009. We don t know an exact release date, but it s much sooner than anyone is expecting. One thing we are sure of is that it s definitely Going to be before Holiday 2009.
* Internal HDD. If UMD is dead, how exactly does PSPWorld think we are going to get our games on the new PSP? Sure Sony could pack in some form of memory stick with the new PSP, but that isn t practical. As Dave Perry has mentioned in the past, look for some type of solid state memory on board. It will also take some form of removable flash memory.
* Phone included. They got this one right also, but it wasn t a hard guess. There will be no built in phone in the next PSP, however you can always use Skype.

And then they leave out some more intriguing teasers, the ones that would probably fall under Sony's "We don't comment on rumors" press release bin, if they ever had one:

* Sliding Screen. They call this fiction, and unfortunately we cannot comment on this. We have to leave it at that.
* Dual Analog Sticks. Nope, not happening, at least not until the PSP2 which this isn t. Adding a second analog stick would alienate the current PSP lineup, which is going to get much more robust later this year. A lineup, that will play just fine on this new PSP, which is based on current PSP tech.

And again, it ends with that all-too blatant banner to head to the E3 for more.

@ tarey: thanx for the update on the new PSP buddy, lets see how much of this is fact and how much MORE is fiction..

Btw, a sliding design PSP wud be gr8 minus the dual analog sticks (coz then it wud jus be like a PS2 or a PS3 controller in hand..) and yes, i snt want any fone feature in the new PSP, i jus want the PSP as it is now (jus like a PMP and a portable gaming device)..

------
also,... hv u updated ur fw.. ??

@BB: buddy, hv u updated ur FW too. ???

DA has not yet released the new CFW, Sony has made some changes in new FW and hence it becoming difficult to hack, but not impossible as DA says.
We will have to wait a little longer this time.

Try Advance PMP Player ... Dunno whether we can play DivX in the PSP .. It surely plays the XviD and MP4 by its default provisions.

and how to install a app in psp??

Just place the the downloaded folder containing eboot.pbp file in ms0:/PSP/Game ! It will show up in the memory stick under Games menu in the XMB.

Site Ain't Working

Its working now , was down for maintainence... best site for PSP downloads !

If any problem still persists , get back here ... Happy to Help

One question

Can I use a Magic MemoryStick as a normal MS... I mean to store Data and ISOs, etc ?

i also like manga and anaim

Ok, here is sum news or say rumour (i'd say more of a news than a rumour) abt the new PSP2 launch maybe in Sept,09'.....

I dunno if we want UMD less or with-UMD types PSP2's but wat this news says is that the new PSP's a.k.a PSP2 will hv a slide-up like feature and wich invariably means a slightly bigger PSP screen..

see this ---> *www.gamespot.com/news/blogs/rumor-...4429/umd-less-psp2-due-by-early-november.html

also, news is (for all SOCOM fans like me too)

tat Socom FTB3 will be out by end of this yeawr (b4 christmas) wooohooo...

(as per the video interview of gamespot with the SOCOM head team designer)..
