MotorStorm: Arctic Edge is not a pretty game - and not just because, like its big console cousins, it's concerned with rough-and-tumble racing through perilous terrain in angry, roaring machines.
No, MotorStorm's PSP debut simply isn't very good looking. Vehicles are boxy, their deformation patterns strangely triangular, details a tad smudgy.
I really would like a Motorstorm game like this for the PS3. There's a serious lack of ice and snow racing this generation.
I would play this, but you know...firmware :X

Gran Turismo is going to use OFW 6.00. There's speculation that the hackers are waiting/working on that and skipping 5.55.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying out Tales Of Vs. and Motorstorm. I have Tenchu 3 shelved waiting for an update, too.
Dunno if Dark Alex will do another update, but rumor has it the GEN team is getting 6.00 ready.
I'm pretty sure Tales of VS has some sort of protection on it, not just the firmware hurdle.
Ok, have a 6.00. Yay; can play demos now. Tempted to import Ys now. Will wait and see if you can buy from JPN store or if it has a data install option.

How do you buy stuff from the Japan store? Finding prepaid cards online is always pricey...
Should I get a new psp if there's not going to be a 6.0?
Once all PSP games have a data install option, I don't care about custom firmware anymore. But until they do it's still a big deal for me because I refuse to play PSP games with load times after years of instant loading for everything.
So, GT PSP sounds like a mess. It still looks ridiculously good for a portable game, and the racing is supposed to be GT4, and there are something like 800 cars and 50 tracks...but no career mode. All there is to do is quick race, time trial, drift trial or license tests. No online either. What's worse is how you buy cars. Every day the game lets you buy a car from four manufacturers; if you want the Bugatti Veyron, you have to wait for a day that Bugatti is selectable. And all races get you is money, not cars or anything else.

And all races get you is money, not cars or anything else.
The second issue, which is actually not quite as debilitating (but still annoying), is that the game runs on a calendar system and on each day you can only buy vehicles from four manufacturers. Every two days these four choices change to offer up new cars to pick from. So, one day you might have Honda, Toyota, Mugen and Daihatsu, whereas two days later you might be able to pick from Ford, Lamborghini, RUF and Mitsubishi. Note that you have no idea what manufacturers will be available when, so you can't say, "Oh, Ferrari will be available in two days." It could be 100 days for all you know. Also, even if a manufacturer is available on a day, you will only have access to a limited number of its vehicles at any given time. By my count, you can purchase about a dozen at a time at most, though you might also only be able to choose from one or two cars. So when Lamborghini or Ferrari does eventually show up, don't count on being able to totally stock up as your selection may be very limited.
There is no “Career Mode” included within. Instead you choose from one of the 35 tracks or any of their variations (different configurations of some, and reverse mode on all,) and work your way up from Class D to Class A on each. You start with 100k credits, which is nice because you can pick-up two or three cars right out of the gate

Holland's largest specialised retail outlet, Nedgame, has decided not to sell the PSPgo this October. And, the shop explained to Eurogamer Holland, there are a handful of reasons why.
The hefty price-tag of €249.99 being one of them. That's €80 more than the PSP-3000 costs, a difference Nedgame believes the new handheld does not justify - the smaller screen is picked out as an example.
A more telling reason is the lack of a UMD drive. That means Nedgame cannot sell games for the PSPgo, which is where retailers make the most profit. And, as downloadable games will be tied to PSN accounts, trading and swapping will fast become a thing of the past.
Nedgame also mentioned its discomfort at Sony creating a monopoly on the software sold on PSPgo.
Eurogamer Holland goes on to point out that Nedgame are not the only Dutch outlet to boycott Sony's new handheld.
Eurogamer Spain has also heard rumblings that retailers there may do the same.
What's Yoshihiro? Some kinda crack?
If so, why would you buy either game, regardless of quality?
What firmware do Persona and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 need?
:bow PSP internet store :bow2
I've seen posts saying Tales Of Vs. works.
I tried converting Tenchu 3 Portable, and it worked! Too bad after playing it, the controls are kinda wonky and I'd much rather play Tenchu 4 instead. :lol
So I really don't have time to get into this Yoshiro complicated stuff, but can you just take an iso file, expand it, run the yoshiro thing, repack it, play it on 5.50GEN? Also has anyone tested if these patched versions work on M33 5.00-6? I'm kinda afraid to upgrade to 5.50 cause every so often I read somebody bricking theirs in the transition :X

PSP has Shinobido if you want good older style Tenchu. Acquire :rock
Wait, so the crack actually works on the internet versions? I thought that Lyte said that it didn't. ???
Tried looking into this. It's way too complicated since you have to run the decryptor from the PSP. Obviously less complicated if you have the UMD or are using an already patched version, but for Japanlame games no one gives a shit enough to patch them and distro them. :\
