There are quite a few people on this board (myself being one of them) who have PSPs.  Some use them for modern gaming, some for classic gaming, and some for both.

I have a silver PSP 2000

I got mine the day it came out. Although, I rarely use it. (To be honest my mom bought it for my siblings and I) I used to use it for homebrew but my brother updated to official firmware without letting me know. (I have a Pandora setup though, so I can revert it)

I have a couple games but yeah, I really don't use it that much.

I use my DS Lite and CycloDS Evolution for homebrew and stuff. The addition of the touchscreen allows for some pretty good games. :)

lol, since i can mod and un-brick PSP's, all of my friends gave me their PSP's and let me to do the job.

and do you guys know an APP called the "remote"? you can turn on the nearist TV around you by pressing a key on your PSP(only works with PSP-1000) !!!!!

and i know another APP for the PSP, i don't know the name, but it's pretty much a proto-type. what it do is that, you could turn off the nearist street-lights around you by connecting your psp's infer-red port to the street-lights, but i bet it only works on the phat PSP( PSP-1000). since this is "bad for the society, i've tried to tell my self not to always think of this APP!

and there is apps for the NDS???

I have one of the PSP 3000s.  I like it pretty well (been playing a bunch of Chessmaster on it lately) but I'm still partial to the DS myself.  The larger game library really helps and alot of the Nintendo exclusives (Professor Layton & the Curious Village!!!) are some of the better portable games coming out this generation.

You really should Mod your PSP, although the Moding process is not free, but after you Mod it you could download FREE complete games in the file of .iso, or .cso.
and you could get free apps for your PSP like installing Windows Vista or XP on your PSP.

Blech, the R4 is not a very good choice. Go with a CycloDS Evolution, it's the best flashcart on the market. ;)

But the R4 doesn't get new firmware updates, right?

Post by: LocalToast on April 28, 2009, 01:47:10 pm
I'm pretty sure the "official" R4 development team stopped working on it. You can find a lot of knock-offs, but if you want killer support and great features, go for a CycloDS. ;D
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??

The R4's firmware is periodically updated, but there is no requirement to upgrade.

I picked up my PSP once again and charged it and all but I'm wondering what to do with it. I downgraded it to firm 1.5 last year and never got into updating it to the hacked firmware that'll let me play ps1 games and iso images among other things. Can anyone help me out on what to do? which updates to install and maybe a tutorial on how to upgrade my psp? Thanks!
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: kirayamato on May 09, 2009, 09:43:33 pm
okay, i'll help!

1) did you mod your PSP using a pandora battery?
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: satoshi_matrix on May 09, 2009, 10:36:25 pm
Sweet. I am in the EXACT same boat. I have a 1.5 PSP capable of running emulators through the use of the old "two copies of each file" thing circa 2006. I would love to update my PSP but require guidance in doing so.

And no, I've not hacked it using a pandora battery. my psp is the actual 1.5 original firmware.
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: FamicomFreak on May 09, 2009, 11:49:38 pm
no I didn't hacked it with a pandora battery. I did a mod with some files etc etc. but then I mod it back because it wouldn't let me upgrade to a later custom firmware and I would try to update it again but then I got a ds and forgot about my psp lol.
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: kirayamato on May 12, 2009, 07:47:30 pm
oh, if you want to mod any PSPs, you HAVE TO HAVE A PANDORA BATTERY!
if you mod it with some files, that means you may have been fooled,
after you mod your PSP with the Pandora battery, you could install the emulators

That may be the case for some people, but for those who still have ancient firmware you can still do it via other techniques. For example, I downgraded mine using the Lumines exploit.

It's been a long time since I've done anything with PSP homebrew (almost 2 years), but the sites I remember using frequently were:

http://dl.qj.net
http://forums.afterdawn.com
http://www.dark-alex.org

Those forums have plenty of tutorials. The last site listed is the site belonging to the guy who basically created CFW, so you'll find the latest firmwares there. Also, the first site mentioned provides a good number of homebrew/official firmwares if and when you may need them.

what do your PSP have for the XMB?? and is it custon firmware or is it original?
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: FamicomFreak on May 18, 2009, 11:05:47 pm
well mine started with 2.4 but I downgraded to 1.5 so that I can do the custom firmware upgrade. I'm lost though...
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: Byron on May 19, 2009, 02:55:03 am
It's been a 1.5 since the day it was made. I'm not sure what you're asking me about the XMB, though. There's nothing special about it, as far as I know..
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: kirayamato on May 19, 2009, 12:22:14 pm
Oh, because the newer the firmware it is the differnt the XMB it is. Cause there will be improvements on the programes, like Internet radio,Sony Internet store...ext.

Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: satoshi_matrix on May 21, 2009, 12:01:01 pm
I've heard (and seen on ebay) something called the pandora battery and a specifically formatted memory card bundle that can change the PSP (fat or slim) firmware into any other version at a touch of a button. Anyone know if this is true?
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: manuel on May 21, 2009, 05:43:49 pm
I don't know how easy it is, but many people use that pandora battery to do it, so yes, it's true.

Unfortunately there's no such device for the PSP-3000. I would so much want to play Super Famicom stuff on the PSP. The SNES emulators for DS are all crap.  :-\
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: kirayamato on May 21, 2009, 09:17:20 pm
lol, i have tons of thoes Pandora batteries and some magic memory sticks at my house, cause i normally mod people's PSP's and give them Apps and Programes, like emulators.
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: satoshi_matrix on May 29, 2009, 09:27:07 pm
I just recently updated and modded my PSP 2000 with pandora, I've now got firmware 5.00 M33-4.

Would anyone mind hooking me up with some killer apps and emulators? my email is satoshimatrix@hotmail.com. If you don't want to send them personally, can you provide me with some links? I'm also sort of clueless on just how to install homebrew on my new PSP. I have another PSP too, but thats still 1.50 and requires the dummy duplicate file structure.

Here is what I know I'm interested in. If you recommend anything else by all means please hook me up.

I'm looking for something I read on wikipedia that allows you to play PSP games on non-progressive scan tvs as well as boost the resolution when they are played on progressive scan. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.

I'm most definitely looking for stable, reliable emulators for :

PS1
SNES
Genesis
GB/GBC
GBA

priority in that order. I just really want to check out being able to play Playstation isos on the go. Anything else like I said, I'm open to if you suggest it. I'm really looking to unleash the capabilities of my new PSP to new heights.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I was only able to get the Super Nintendo PSP emulator off you. It works perfectly, but I'm still looking for NES (with FDS support ideally) GBA and most of all, PS1 emulators. I'm just not sure on how to set up PSP emulators as many are out of date and give instructions for PSP 1.5 and the early 2's. I tried to download one NES emulator but I couldn't get it to reconize any roms, rendering it useless. So yeah if youc an help me out again I'd be happy, even if you wrote up a general tutorial that would help a lot.

I'm sure you could but he specifically has the JNES v6.0 emulator on his psp. If I remember correctly, it's something about a battery hack?
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: nohara3 on July 04, 2009, 11:10:15 am
I have a PSP as well. I bought it because I could modify it to play emulated games as well as PSX games, which is amazing. The only problem is that SNES emulator kind of stinks because it has trouble running certain games, especially games that contained a special chip (MegaMan X2-3, Star Fox etc.). There are GameBoy, GBA, SNES, Genesis and Master System, and PC Engine emulators for the PSP and those are just to name a few. This is the about only potential I saw in the PSP, because the system lacks goods games. Most of the good games for the PSP are remakes of PSX or SNES games (or even NES!). The only problem with the PSP is configuring each PSX game with different poploaders. It takes some time to find one that works 100%, and sometimes you have to go to one version for a certain part and then switch back (especially difficult was FF7). The battery hack you do is called Pandoras Battery. I just bought one because I didn't want to spend another 50 dollars on a real battery that I could never use again. The PSP will only run and install Sony certified software, so the battery allows you to bypass this security feature and install custom firmware, which allows you to run emulators and PSX games as well as PSP isos.
Title: Re: Who Has a PSP??
Post by: satoshi_matrix on July 13, 2009, 06:45:01 pm
Okay! So now with nohara3's help. I've got PS1 emulation running perfectly on my PSP. Here's my question for folks who've already done that: do you know of a resource website where you can find the individual game components like scaled icons and game specific wallpapers? Popstation has you make your own, which is fine, but since a lot of people would be doing this, I figure there might be a resource for this stuff. Anyone?
