You can get an 8gb pro duo card off of newegg for around 50 bucks now, not bad.

I just want to download games to my PSP and play them off memory stick. Legally, of course.

I see a PSP bundle is coming with a 4GB stick in November for $199....no game included though.

You can get a 4GB stick off of amazon for 30 bucks now. I actually found an 8gb for 48 on amazon, not bad. 16GB sticks around 100 but I'm reading they don't work well with PSP right now. Perhaps a firmware update is needed. I think I'll bite when I can find a 16GB stick for 50 dollars.

I had traded in Ratchet, so getting it again is kinda neat i guess. Its a solid game but more of the same. I need change I can believe in from that series. I dont plan on storing much so my old 4 gig stick is fine. I just thought it was cheap-o of Sony

qj.net's PSPupdates site. There is no "PS1 emu" BTW. You just get the PS1 game, convert it (or download it already converted) and play! Also fuck that shit, get NJ's MVSPSP and CPS/CPS2PSP emulators, STAT! Portable Neo-Geo and CPS dude!!

The new CFW for 5.0 should be out in a few days.

AFAIK you can get it at "T-Zone." Ask for it, it's behind the counter.

BTW, what's this I hear about the PSP-3000 having interlacing problems and visible scanlines?

I have yet to try one yet.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #84 on:** October 16, 2008, 10:36:21 PM »

if you turn quickly, you can see faint interlacing artifacts on the edges of polygons in high contrast situations. it's not nearly as distracting as ghosting, thankfully, and the only 2D game i've played where it was even slightly visible was sonic 2.

gradius generations is a revelation on the thing

-- Plug PSP into TV via standard composite cables
-- Activate TV-out mode
-- Start PSone game
-- Marvel at the fact that you now actually have a portable Playstation that outputs video just like a Playstation

So I installed CFW 5.00 M33 and played an official PSN Store PS1 game...it's full screen, all right...but blown way up and most of the screen is cut off. There seems to be no way to adjust this.

Damn, PS1 games are the only ones that work with composite cables on the PSP 2000. Maybe someone will find a better hack this time...the old one is not working anymore for me under the new firmware.

Yup, I got the new CFW that was released. Really slick interface and it loads incredibly quick. I wish they would pay an inkling of attention though of what content is on available. I downloaded the Resistance PSP trailer only to find that it was a trailer being played on a PSP, thus only displaying the footage on a whole square inch.

It's what I hear. I know someone who got one and says the ghosting seems non-existent, but then the scanline issue takes its place as the "new ghosting." $:-\$

Holy crap, I thought the shots on the left were from the 2000!

But since you can turn the color mode to the same setting as the 2000 model, it doesn't really matter. Use the new setting for the games that look good with it is all. Still not getting one until they are hacked though. If I get one, that is.

I did pick up the new stamina battery today. When did these come out? It says it extends PSP 2000 and 3000 series' battery life by 80%.

What's the mAh rating on it? I'm pretty sure the slim battery I bought earlier this year only had a 40% bump or something. If there's a new one, I want it.

bork · « **Reply #105 on:** October 18, 2008, 12:37:20 PM »

2200 mAh. It's the same size as the old 1000 series batteries and comes with a new battery cover that makes the right back side stick out a little bit. I like this because it lets my 2000 fit comfortably in my old 1000 series Logitech case (with a little padding for the left side)

Could just be Sony marketing bullshit then. These are definitely new as they list PSP 1000/2000/3000 on the box. Guess I must have missed the original release earlier on. I thought these weren't out yet!
