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.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
