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

For those in the UK Play is currently doing a new sale, and there's some pretty decent PSP games in the mix: click 'ere. OK, so some of them have been around a little while, but I've picked up the Powerstone Collection and am thinking about nabbing the SFA3 Max (at £10 a pop who can complain).

I'm currently running the old 3.03 OE custom firmware.

Can somebody tell me which is the best custom firmware to install, I want to play FF:CC so I might as well update.

I hear 3.90 is the latest, hows the PS1 emulation and PSP ISO emulation on it? Is it stable or would you recommend a lower number version?

My psp randomly freezes on some games, like whenever i try to start Tekken, it would load up til namco then the psp will turn off then you have to turn it on again after that it will work, anyone experiencing this problem?

What should I install then 3.71 m33-4 with popsloader?

Hey all, just picked up a PSP yesterday.

Got the Daxter bundle along with MGS Portable OP+, Crisis Core and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology.

Tales and Crisis seem fine, as does Daxter, but for MGS... I dunno, I might return it since it was used & not much emphasis on Stealth this time for some reason).

So, generally the games recommended in my journal entry on my purchase were Loco Roco, Lumines and Wipeout. Anything else worth picking up? I would
say God of War, but I heard it was only like 5 hours long.

MGSPO+? That's just extra missions for the original MGSPO. If you can, get Patapon. It's cheap and fun, what more can you ask ><

I really wanted to like Patapon, but it gets very repetitive. Pick up Final Fantasy Tactics; even if you have it for PS1, you must play it again.

If you can find it, I found Kingdom of Paradise to be immensely fun, I really like the setting. It's an earlier PSP release and the cover art is horrible, but it's a really good game underneath.

Both Megaman Powered Up! and Megaman Maverick Hunter X should be picked up as well. They're 3D remakes of the original Megaman and the original Megaman X titles, respectively. MMPU has a ton of content, including a level creator, and something like 10 unlockable characters including Proto Man and Roll. MM:MHX has a bonus OVA you can watch to see the events before MMX, and beating the game will unlock Vile as a playable character and he's much, much different than X.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is anotehr must-have port of a PS1 game. The new CG scenes are amazing, and the game itself is top notch. Jeanne d' Arc is a really cool cel-shaded strategy RPG that isn't quite as hard or deep as FF Tactics, but because of that it's a little more fun to play (for me anyway, since I suck at SRPGs). It was also done by Level 5.

God of War: Chains of Olympus, while short, is an excellent game nonetheless and it does still have the Challenges to add some extra playtime in, plus the additional difficulty modes. Wild Arms XF is another SRPG, but set in the WA universe. Like Jeanne d' Arc it's not as involved as FFT, but it's fun and has some cool features in it that are worth exploring. If you're a WA fan, it's a worthwhile purchase.

Oh, the Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters game, if you haven't played it on the PS2 (it was recently released for that platform) is also really good, again for fans of the series already. It's a good pick-up even if you're not familiar with the series too.

My first PSP game was Metal Gear Ac!d 2 and it is a great game. Its card based so you cant really expect the action of MGS but it good fun none the less.

Also, if you can get your hands on it, DJmax Portable is one of the best reasons to own a PSP. Music game, and one of the best I have played.

- If you like hack 'n slash RPGs, you should definitely try Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts or Monster Hunter Freedom.
- Crush is a really neat and innovative puzzle game where you can change the level from 3D to 2D (and vice versa).
- In Every Extend Extra you take control over a ship that you self-destruct on command, initiating sometimes massive chain reactions with other objects with the resulting shockwave, often destroying enemies or large bosses. Try the free PC version first and see if it's to your liking, it should be easy to Google.
- Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a enhanced 3D remake of Rondo of Blood and as a bonus, includes the original Symphony of the Night. It involves playing as a vampire killer on the hunt for Dracula. Lot's of undead too.
- Burnout Legends and Burnout Dominator. Excellent racing series with a lot of crashing and damage involved as the core gameplay.
- Hajime no Ippo: Victorious Spirits is one hell of a boxing game based on the manga of the same name. You need to import this one but it's totally worth it and completely playable without any knowledge on the Japanese language. Challenging story mode and simple control method. Think of it as a boxing game with super moves, but with more realism added.
- Lemmings, the remake of the original by Team17. Guide the lemmings safely from A to B through ~120 levels. Action puzzle game, very very good.
- Worms 2: Open Warfare. Popular artillery game series featuring worms fighting each other with crazy weapons. Addictive gameplay and has a strong online following. Though I cannot find many games with the ingame browser, you can use XLink Kai instead to find lot's of them.
- Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception is a action flight-sim with excellent story and gameplay. If you like flightsims, this is the game for you.


That's about it but i'm pretty sure I left out a lot of games. Highly recommended.

Well, I didn't care for Portable OPs as much as I thought I would, so I switched that out for MMX: Maverick Hunters.

Thanks for the recommendations so far, I'll keep them in mind for later.

nobody talks about crisis core?

Kimchi, have you considered making a help thread elsewhere, since you've gunked up every God forsaken page in this thread with your insipid questions? Alternatively, have you tried reading any of the plentiful resources that exist on this here internet?

Just, y'know, askin'.

Y'know what, fuck it. I'm cropping your shit.

This is probably OLD news, but I didn't know about this until I got th new issue of PSM yesterday. Apparently Sony snuck a firmware update in around December that let people be able to play PS1 games on their PSP through remote play via the PS3. Like I said, I didn't know about this til yesterday (might have known about it if I kept tabs in the thread here. :\ )

There's some lag between it, I guess since it requires you to have WLAN turned on and you basically play wirelessly, but I'm enjoying reliving some of my older games this way instead of having to stare at the TV screen and fall asleep in the chair. Been playing Xenogears and FF7 that way.

Anyways, I thought it was cool at least and sorry if it's something that was already known. :|

Heh, it is a little old. You can actually play almost every PS1 games off the memory stick, assuming the PSP has been hacked with a custom firmware. It's a little better for poor people like me without PS3s, or just want to play PS1 on the go.

Question, what games for the PSP have good multiplayer?

I'm about to buy the crisis core bundle slim PSP for Europe and am wondering can the firmware be modded to play games off the stick.

Is it possible to make a pandora etc... so I can enjoy dark alex's stuff?

I have an original psp fat and battery.

You wouldn't be able to make Pandora yourself. You'll need someone else with CFW, or you can buy a Datel Tool Battery.

^ Aside from that small fact, though, I think any firmware [PSP is region-free] can be downgraded now using the Pandora methods. Then you can install your CFW and play away.
