playstation portable

great device - great idea - only getting better now

witht he release of playtv released in australia, PSP sychronisation now means you can access your PlayTV recorded shows AND watch TV anywhere in australia - not too shabby!!!

but

first of all - i'd like to have a little gripe...

PSPGo

it's the newest model slide version of the PSP

the screen is slightly smaller - it has bluetooth connectivity, the battery life is slightly longer, BUT

they don't take UMD's, and games are only available as software for the console.

the guy i know that works at a game shop says - we don't sell them. they are $370 we only make about 10-20 bucks for sale of the console... as opposed to a higher figure off previous PSP models

PSPgo you can only buy software from playstation store...

now - thing i wanna say is - through out australia, people have BOUGHT games from stores, EB, JB, Target, Game, Gametraders etc... sure, sony hav kept a few of these stores in business over the years - but in turn, they have kept sony's game division in business for years

from developer, manufacturer, distributor, distributor, to retail - after middle man after middle man, you pay about 60AUD for a new PSP game

sony hav knocked out the middle men and sell straight from sony online - no case, no manual, nothing, just software...

and still charge 60 bucks??

that's just rude... sony's taking biting the hand that has fed them for years here - i don't think it's fair..

anyway

psp is a cool device - here you can discuss the "did you knows" of the PSP

for instance - did you know that PSP has a GPS receiver peripheral and can be used as a GPS

in conjunction with this - you know how people plug their Ipod into their cars input jack??

well - ps3 play mp3 too... and videos on a larger screen, and you can purchase car mounting units for them too.

so you can use the PSP as a GPS and media control centre while you're driving... then, when you'r done - unplug it and take it to work and play GTPSP while you're working.

discuss!

i need a PSP genius to come and work on mine. it's an original untouched V1.50 firmware version. and I never have upgraded. I was using devhook with some kind of version emulator to play 2.50 games etc. but then I got bored with it and haven't used it in ages. I want to use it again but don't want to loose my original V1.50 firmware. so who is the PSP guru out there??? :(

I really enjoy my PSP because I can play just about any type of video on it. I can rip DVD's and put them on my memory card, use tons of emulators with 1000's of games. The connecting is a bit rough because of the different hacked versions out there, but other then that I would have to say it is one of the best portable devices ever made.

I'm in the same boat, I downgraded my psp then upgraded to a custom firmware version then left it for ages. Now I'm not sure how I can upgrade it to the newest custom firmware. I have looked on a few sites on how to do it and it seems like a pain in the ass, with about 10 different programs and versions needed to be downloaded and installed in the correct order if you want to be able to download and play the newest games.

x3...

You leave these things for a little while and then forget how to undertake updates.

Becomes very time consuming trying to figure out how to update and what firmware is best to use, etc.

yep, that's my exact problem. :( I'm going to take it to one of these dudes who does chips etc and just pay them to "hopefully" fix it for me so I can keep the original v1.50 firmware but still emulate later firmwares so I can play later games. >_<

dude, google PSP Custom Firmware, all the features of 1.5 and the ability to play games that need higher version FW, and you can have iso loaders, emulators etc etc, most homebrew apps don't even need the 1.5 kernel anyways

Haven't touched my PSP in ages, its the old skool 'phat' version. Its got devhook installed but not the latest version. The only reason why i bought it was to play Ace Combat (which is an awesomesauce game if you like arcade flight sims). I also had the trusty CPS2 emulater so i can play those coin-op arcade games like armoured warrior and aliens vs predator.

When i was really into the whole PSP thing, I also used to have a free app called PSPDisp which would allow you to use the PSP as a secondary PC monitor.

My friend connected his hacked PSP to his PS3 and accidentally upgraded the PSP firmware. Now he has to get it downgraded using that battery technique.

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
