Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need

a hacked psp
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Himu on January 09, 2008, 04:11:15 PM
1.50 firmware is the surefire bet because all of the emulators and stuff work with that
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Mupepe on January 09, 2008, 04:15:56 PM
a hacked psp
hmmm    i'll do it if i can't figure it out!  plus i can send you some kisses too

1.50 firmware is the surefire bet because all of the emulators and stuff work with that
is there a way to tell the firmware before i buy it?
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Himu on January 09, 2008, 04:17:50 PM
used or new psp? new psps come with 3.71 firmware. However, with a pandora battery you can downgrade it to 1.50, allowing you install custom firmware, thus enabling you to play emulators

I don't even know what a pandora battery is.  Tell me what i need to do then, demi.  please

Himumu: where do i get a pandora battery? 

Edit: and it will be a new psp
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Himu on January 09, 2008, 04:24:48 PM
A good battery to get is the Max Tool Battery. It's essentially Pandora.

You can apparently find it at stores but I've never seen it.

Try here instead:

http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/MAX-Power-TOOL__PSP18.aspx

You can do that, or make a Pandora battery yourself, or find someone with an already hacked psp, make their battery pandora, and put that battery in yours, allowing you to downgrade.

oh wtf are you serious?  that's too much fucking work
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Himu on January 09, 2008, 04:47:57 PM
yeah that's why it'd be best to simply send it to demi (:bow) or just buy the pandora battery
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need

I'd happily get rid of my haxxxd PSP fat for a slim. I've no use for the thing as it is, but no reason to give up what it has.
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Mupepe on January 09, 2008, 10:57:37 PM
Pandora solution doesn't downgrade to 1.50 - it installs the custom firmware you tell it to (currently 3.71M33, I think). You can't downgrade a Slim to 1.50 because it doesn't have the hardware in it that is required by 1.50. Most homebrew still in development is being recoded for later firmware though.
that's good to know.  i couldn't find that damn battery.

I got the daxter bundle with

FFT
MGA 1 and 2
Splinter Cell Essentials

and the following UMD movies...

Alien
Ong Bak
Mirrormask

:bow   

Im going to pick up some of the games mentioned here tomorrow and play some FFT for now.

What are some accessories I should get? :)
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: RevenantKioku on January 09, 2008, 11:04:16 PM
It still comes with the cloth pouch and the wiping cloth, neh? Those are all I've needed for my PSP in the past, shit is it almost 3 years already?
Title: Re: getting a new psp tonight, tell me what i need
Post by: Eric P on January 09, 2008, 11:06:48 PM
the only accessory i ever bought (not counting mem card) was the pelican hardcase but that was for the fat.

i didn't get any cloth pouch or wiping cloth.  that's bs.

i just checked out the web surfing.  i definitely like that i can save images to my card that way.

i never put videos or anything on my first psp so i'm a bit distinguished mentally-challenged that way too.  Besides having a card reader in my pc, how do i do it?

Good ol' Sony. Cutting costs wherever you can.
Got a USB cable? Plug your lil' bitch in, go to the Settings tab and select USB mode.

I still haven't tried movies on mine! Which formats does it play natively (3.71M33) and what's the best converter for other formats?

well i haven't put any movies on it that way.  Mirrormask was UMD.

But I downloaded some program called IMtooPSP and it converts all my stuff directly to the psp :)
