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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
