Post by: drohne on February 08, 2008, 11:20:59 PM: fuck, i missed a step making my pandora's battery -- didn't add the 3.60 m33 kernel or whatever, so i can't use it on a slim. and now i haven't got my phat anymore to update it :'(

would any of you be able to do that last step for me if i sent you my pandora's battery and the accompanying memory stick? you'd need a homebrew-capable psp fat. i could throw in a couple psp games or some money for your trouble

Post by: demi on February 08, 2008, 11:36:42 PM: i'd do it but i loaned my magical psp out, so solly

Is my pandora up to snuff?
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 12:40:32 AM: omg it's my personal tragedy in achewood form

i think i might just buy a used psp at gamestop, do what i need to do, and then return it...or trade it back in if it comes down to that

i guess that compromises the elegance of my extended warranty gambit, but i can spend a little money to carry donpachi around in my bag

Post by: T234 on February 09, 2008, 12:41:54 AM: Drohne, can you not hack it AT ALL or what?
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 12:43:40 AM: my pandora's battery setup downgrades to 1.50 -- and you can't downgrade a slim to 1.50. i was supposed to go through one more step of adding a 3.60 m33 kernel to the memory stick, BUT I MISSED IT IN MY HASTE
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: T234 on February 09, 2008, 12:46:27 AM: I got a pandora and a magic memory stick AND a homebrew capable fat right here.

Post by: demi on February 09, 2008, 12:47:59 AM: i would advise not giving your address out to him, drohne
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: T234 on February 09, 2008, 12:50:22 AM: I was gonna give him MY adress and let him ship that thing over here.

Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 12:53:01 AM: i'm reading up on exactly what i need to do right now -- thanks for the offer t234, and i'll get back to you once i've got it figured out. if the process is messy, i might feel more comfortable doing it myself, even if it costs me some money
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: T234 on February 09, 2008, 01:24:30 AM: Yeah, I dunno how to just retrofit the thing. I would just unpandorize and repandorize.

Post by: bagofeyes on February 09, 2008, 01:29:19 AM: So if you buy a new psp slim now you can't just mod it from your computer or something?

Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 01:54:25 AM: well, that was a lot of fuss over nothing -- my slim has firmware version 3.72, and apparently you can't hack anything higher than 3.60. correct me if i'm wrong. anyway, i've got my modded xbox for emulators, and i'll be happy enough to play psp games on my new psp

edit: apparently i am wrong -- i can hack my 3.72 slim. fuckin outdated tutorials. i need to unwind with some metal slug anthology
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: demi on February 09, 2008, 02:32:21 AM: You can hack anything with Pandora, period

Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 03:44:42 AM: hm, it's just occurred to me that vertical-format shooters won't properly work on psp unless they include the option to flip the screen without flipping the controls -- i.e. to play them as sidescrollers. and i don't remember which ps1 games actually do. i'll have to dig my discs out and see.
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 12:40:43 PM: an awesome dude on a psp forum hooked me up with the ms image i needed -- I'M RUNNING 3.90 M33 :punch

now to get the emulators figured out
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: drohne on February 09, 2008, 05:06:37 PM: HOLY FUCKIN SHIT IM PLAYING RAIDEN DX AND DONPACHI ON MY PSP

music doesn't work in donpachi, but both games have got the control options i need, and they play beautifully in tate mode. the slim's d-pad is a million times better than any other portable's. and 2d games look gorgeous when you let them run in their native resolution -- ghosting is much reduced
Title: Re: just got a psp slim
Post by: drohne on February 11, 2008, 12:38:25 AM: used a different program to make my donpachi eboot and now the music works :bow

i need to declare a moratorium on screwing around with my psp until i finish dmc 4
