Show off your PSP

If you want to, of course.

Mine.

What's the point in posting a picture of the exact same console that everyone else has?

I think making a list of homebrew or games that you use would be a better idea tbh.

yogi_hughes

Just looking at your picture there and noticed the clear plastic thing on the bottom right. Does that protect the PSP in some way? If so does it come in the standard value pack?

This isn't going to be one of those wierd fetish things like they have on eBay where people take photos of monitors and TVs with their nude bodies reflected in the screens?

Once you find a hack for firmware 2.00, be sure to let me know.

I really, really hope not.

Qz does your games have the English lauguege on em' or not since they're Jap's.

qz

Ridge Racer is mostly Japanese, but you can get by. The manual is in Japanese too.
Lumines is 99% English. Again, Japanese manual.
WipEout Pure is English, since it's the American version.

Franky Boy

I seriously agree with dregin!


This has to be one of the saddest threads to hit boards.
Make one on psp accesories instead.




Qz you scare me sometimes!:)

Fixed for K

Nailz

Oh so it is Multi-national since you can use an American Wipeout on a Jap PSP.
A lasie at Game (or GameStop) told me that you have to work a Jap game with a Jap PSP ect.

She was ofcourse wrong.

Hows about not putting NSFW images up? Link to them if you have to.

qz

Delete the thread then if it'll make you all feel better. :rolleyes:

koneko

Don't. I'll post up a pic of my PSP later when I can find my digital camera.

Hey guys,
Anyone get a PSP with version 1.50 firmware?

Sparky

ive a jap PSP with ver 1.51.

the issue with the games is that all regions will play on any PSP so a jap game will work in a european PSP and visa versa

the only region specific things are the UMD movies region 1 movies will work in the american psp but i bought the jap psp because its region 2 and will play our movie UMD's
the only thing i had to get used to is that X and O are swapped around but only for the psp software not the games.
X=back
O=enter

dregin

I have the 1.5 and it's going to be 1.5 til the cows come home with a big hammer and smash it to BITS!1

madmoe

Same here, there is NO way I am gonna change the firmware on mine ;-)

Board@Work

i have an american psp. how do i find out what firmware is running on it. how do i update it and is it really necessary.

I always thought that the games were region free but when I was in gamestop yesterday they had some Wipeout boxes for the launch in sept and they had a region 2 symbol on the back.. why??

kaisersose77

Go to system settings then system information, something like that anyways, its in the section with battery information i think. And then it tells you the MAC address , firmware version and psp name.

games are definitely region free ( movies arent), probably just says region 2 as i dont think you could play for example against a person with a US version of wipeout while you had a european version of wipeout (over wifi). As the games arent 100 percent the same.

At the moment, version 2 isn't really necessary, but it has a number of extra features not available in 1.50 / 1.51 / 1.52 such as a web browser, the ability to share pictures, customisable wallpapers and more playback options for your videos.
But, if you have version 2.0 you can't have any homebrew or hacks, no-one's cracked it yet! It's recommended for owners with American PSPs not to upgrade to version 2.0 as it voids your warranty, but there will be a US version released soon enough I think.

madmoe

Hi guys,
When I talk about playing games for FREE I mean ISO's ripped from genuine games, nothing to do with regions. At the moment you can only run the ISO loader on 1.5 firmware....this is why it is CRITCAL not to update your PSP. There are loads of ISO's of games on the net at the mo.

Cheers

koneko

This isn't on topic, can it be moved to another thread?

You'll have to excuse the quality of this pic, my phone doesn't make a great camera.

qz

Nice background koneko. What's with the skin? Did you buy it seperate or just deface your PSP?!

koneko

Thanks. The front is a skin, you can get them a few places, like here.

The background is a creepy, I'm pretty sure I got that on DeviantArt, I have a few I use but that one seems to suit the screen.

Nailz

That's cool, so you could take it off any time,is that right?

koneko

They say you can, I haven't tried since I put it on, but it's a plasticy material rather than a sticker so it appears to remove easily.

Nailz

Class!, I might have a go at getting one for my soon "to be" PSP.
I most say, It goes well with your screensaver.

fdevine

This is off thread to a degree, but Firmware has come up....

I got a US vesion of Dead To Rights:Reckoning and used it on my Japanese PSP. The game wont load until you upgrade to v1.5, which is actually on the game UMD.

I'm guessing that some soon to be released European games will do the same.

Nailz

I sure hope not, it's probley that v1.5 of the US, doesn't go with the Jap v1.5.

Ciaran500

With Dead to Rights doesn't matter which region the PSP is from or what region firmware it has as long as its 1.5+

fdevine

I read last night on IGN that upcoming games will have v2.0 firmware on them, which you will have to upgrade to....

kaisersose77

the european launch games just need 1.52 i think

Some company are releasing new psp cases in late september ( read it on some psp site) and teamxecuter are supposedly making some as well. So hopefully there wont be smudges on the case every time u use it. Its not going to say PSP on the case as its a registered trademark. A crystal one like the xbox would be cool.

edit: found it on www.psphome.com

» PSP Accessories : Custom PSP faceplates - Project Asterix

e-linksoft, aka Xtreme Enterprise, have announced their new line of exclusive Sony PSP replacement faceplates. They are designed to replace the standard black (or white if you're in Japan after September 15th) PSP casing with a new colour. This is handy for those who's PSP is badly scratched or damaged.

The hype around the white PSP in Japan has been pretty big, but if Project Asterix lives up to expectations, then the white PSP would, literally, pale in comparison.

"For those who have been awaiting third party companies to launch a replacement faceplate for the PSP, wait no more. Xtreme Enterprise will be launching its latest series of PSP faceplates codenamed ASTERIX come early September. This new product launch ties in with the expected European launch of the PSP in September 2005.

As PSP users have already discovered, the present PSP only comes in black and white (with white available only in Japan). The ASTERIX faceplates will come in a greater choice of colors and at the same time, be available at a fraction of the cost (of the originals). Perfect for those who have faceplates badly scratched by accident or by their pet dogs." (sounds like this guy has been burned by a canine PSP mutilation himself)

Custom PSP Faceplate

The faceplates will initially be available in these 5 colours when the prototypes are released during the first week of September:

Liquid Silver
Crystalline White
Ipod White
Chrysalis Blue
Enchanted Red

If all goes to plan, you can bet that their range of designs, patterns and colours will spread like wildfire. Hopefully we can get a pre-release prototype copy and review it, so stay tuned for that in the near future.

Yoshihiro Releases Version Changer for the PSP - No Need to Update for Games!

"Great news from Yoshihiro and Wab. Yoshihiro has just released a program that will allow you to run games requiring a firmware update, without updating! This program will trick your system into thinking that it is a v1.52 system. When you run the program you will be able to check your firmware version and it will say v1.52. You will still be able to launch eboots from your memstick (such as the version changer etc…), and you can change it back to 1.50 when you are done. This program does NOT update your firmware. It is said that you cannot run the update to v1.52 (although I have not tested this) because the system thinks that it is already 1.52"

Hopefully Yoshi will release a region free movie patch for the euro launch

qz

I heard that Yoshihiro got a little further with version 2.0, can't find the site right now.
