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

If you buy the $200 set up, you can get a 32 MB card from EB Games or GameStop for only $10. So ultimately you're still saving a good chunk.

Actually though, if you're not gonna pay $250 for the system, get a refurbished/preplayed one. They're $180 ($190 w/ card) so you end up saving $60 off the value pack.

Firmware 2.7 is out, and includes a Flash plug-in for the browser.

2.7 is also required to download and play the free Loco Roco demo that is out now. The game kicks some serious ass, but I just can't give up my Snes9x, ScummVM and LUA homebrew.

As of now, there is no exploit to enable homebrew on a 2.7 firmware PSP. This is a warning.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm also tempted to upgrade my PSP for all the fancy features, but I'm not sure I want to give up being able to play NES, SNES, Genesis, etc games.

I haven't really checked the homebrew scene in a while, though. Have they found a way to make SNES games run less choppy? The only games that ran perfect for me were NES ones.

Whatever things are running at right now is probably the best they will end up being for quite some time.

With the latest Snes9x TYL (0.3), I can play almost all games with full speed even on 2.6 firmware via Fanjita's GTA eLoader. I hear it runs even faster on 1.5 with kernel access mode.

2.7 doesn't really bring a lot of useful new features, actually. I hear flash support is very basic (supports only Flash 6, so no fancy animation, games or video) and choppy, the web browser still has annoying memory issues and the podcast features and RSS support was already introduced in the previous firmwares.

Mega frown~my GTA copy arbitrarily decided to stop working, thus eliminating emulation. I keep getting a "disc cannot be read" error which pops up after like 15 minutes of trying to read it. It was working fine two weeks ago but when I decided to play recently, and it magically acquired scratches or something from just sitting the case

Off to rebuy a copy soon :@

Except that for the same $299 price, you can get a $199 PSP and a $99 2GB memory stick. Unless they changed the Giga Pack price since I last heard of it...

Hmm GTA LCS is awesome, now i use homebrew but i need to ask, Whats a working Snes emulator, and does the normal roms work?

Normal roms work...a working snes emulator should be on the compatibility list at Fanjita's Place, since those are specially tailored to the PSP.

Is no one happy about Tekken 5: DR hitting the PSP? The game looks like it's shaping up pretty well. Granted, it would be better off on the PS2, but I can't wait for it! Especially, the customization mode. In the arcade (in Japan at least) you needed to pay $3 a month for a Tekken.Net subscription in order to modify your character.

I'm gonna check it out from work and see if it's worth a buy, and if it is then hell yeah. But I wanna try it first. It does look good though, especially for Tekken fans.

Namco, when're you gonna bring Soul Calibur to the PSP? ; ;

Argh, there's going to be a Death Jr. 2 and Coded Arms sequel on PSP... Original IPs or not, these games sucked.

I'm guessing that if Tekken does well enough, it could come. It'd be nice with Wi-Fi!

Thanks to MG:PO or whatever, I will soon have, like, three games for my PSP. What a justified purchase. Boy, do I feel bitter for buying it.

So was there any PSP-specific E3 news other than MGS Portable Ops?

We already knew about the forthcoming PS1 emulator, so what was the big news for PSP owners?

Big news? Didn't you hear about Brooktown High: Senior Year. Huge. I want it, at least.

According to Gamespot, Tekken 5: DR on PSP looks pretty close to the PS2 Tekken 5, which was pretty damn good.

Also, Vice City Stories was announced, if you're a GTA fan.

Lame year for the PSP, save the Portable Ops.

Ugh, dear LORD did you see those screens?



Here I was hoping it would be some localized version of Tokimeki Memorial or something like that, but instead it's some 3D ugly-ass Western trash.

I'd probably have more fun playing a flash-based dating sim over at Newgrounds than this. Even Sprung for the DS had more appealing graphics.
