    Sony PSP (GTA: VCS)

    Girlfriend just brought me a PSP and CMR game

    Will be checking on the net, but what are the must have accessories?

    And what cool hacks can be done to it?

    I don’t suppose UMD burners are available?

    Lots of hacks available but only if you have the 1.5 firmware or earlier, not sure what the nz ones come with. I've had mine for about 6 months now, just got 3 games, no accessories. Want to get colin mcrae, but no money. Don't need extra chargers although they could come in handy. They last alot longer than you would think, 6 hours gaming, 8 or more for movie watching and over 10 listening to music. I'd say the only thing you need to get is a 1gig or so mem stick. If you have the one with 1.5 firmware then you can download games off the net and play off there. No burners available yet.

    No UMD burners are going to be made available EVER. Well that's what it looks like at this stage. Remember Sony has a large "Entertainment" division that they're trying to protect, so want you to buy all thes movies on UMD even though you may have legitimately purchased them already on DVD.

    The only option is to get a 512MB/1GB memory stick or cf(?) card. There are quite a few third party apps that will convert your movie of choice to MPEG-4. From what I've read one standard size movie will fit on a 512 card, so I'd definitely go for the 1GB if you can afford it.

    Arstechnica had a good review, including mention of Sony's abyssmal handling of the dead pixels issue.

    I'm entering this post from my PSP.

    Mine came with a 2.0 software upgade which I installed.

    So far it's a pretty cool toy. I think it will be most usefull for those boring family functions like Xmas.

    Shit, that took awhile to type out on the PSP. Don't think I'll be doing that too often.

    Movies look really good and the web browser is easy to use. Looking forward to more games coming out. The new GTA for PSP should be interesting.

    With its hard drive, I believe emulators are available for all the old classic games. Load and play if you like those sort of things.

    I have an article about that (from Craccum I think) somewhere if you want it.

    It doesn't have a hard drive but can take memory sticks. Can get 2gb ones for it now, quite expensive though.

    There is a big scene for running emulators etc. You can get emulators for virtually every console over 10 years old, gameboy, atari, nes, snes... (many others aswell). Best thing I've found so far is a program that you run which will play iso's of games which you can download off bittorrent. I've got about 10 extra games now, pretty awesome . Although you have to be running the 1.5 firmware or earlier to be able to run it. No firmware roll back hacks have been found yet but might be sooner rather than later.

    Yep, downloaded WipEout iso in anticipation of 2.0 being cracked.

    I also heard that a buffer overflow has been found in 2.0 so expect 2.1 soon.

    A firmware downgrader has been released. I have downgraded from 2.0 to 1.5 ok. I haven’t been able to get any of my iso's to run yet. Will keep trying.
