Bahamut Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 This just in - there's a working downgrader for even the new PSPs (as in with the most recent motherboards). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStar Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 So, is it still not kosher to say that it's sad the only real reason to get a PSP is for portable emulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomicfog Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 So, is it still not kosher to say that it's sad the only real reason to get a PSP is for portable emulation? GTFO. The PSP has a ton of awesome games that aren't emulation, but you wouldn't be able to comprehend that. Anyhow from my other thread: From PSP Updates: http://dl.qj.net/index.php?pg=12&fid=11922 (Several Vids, but here is one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW4m0gkei9k) And the videos just can't stop pouring in! After the Duke Nukem and Crash Bandicoot PSP videos, we have here now new videos of Final Fantasy VII on the PSP using Dark_Alex's FW 3.02 OE-B. Yep, it does prove to be one fine heaven-sent piece, eh? Anyway, the first one's sent by jkoz over at YouTube.The second video from TheGrandDragon is also on FFVII, this time, on PSP PSX emulation. Now, for those of you kinda lost out there as to how to get it done, you might want to pay more attention to this vid, as it does show what to do to get it running. Although, it doesn't really provide a detailed step by step installation or whatnot. But just the same, you might find it useful. I must admit, it was pretty nostalgic seeing this PS1 classic on the PSP. Anyhow, check out the videos yourself. And then after watching, why be content with just viewing it, when you can play it on your own PSPs? Enjoy! This holiday season just keeps getting better for PSP homebrew users. Obviously, listing all of them would just be considered as wasting time, so I'll get right to the purpose of this post. Dark_AleX has just released the much anticipated update to his earlier custom firmware, 3.02 OE-A. And as promised, the new version will allow you to play your own PlayStation titles, rather than waiting for Sony to release them. The only new feature in this release is the ability to play your own PlayStation titles, so I won't write up a changelog. Secondly, you can only get 3.02 OE-B on your PSP by upgrading from 3.02 OE-A, which means that if you're one of the few who haven't upgraded to 3.02 OE, it's time to do it now! Once you're on 3.02 OE-B, it's best to check out the readme. The instructions for converting your PlayStation games to the POPS format are included in the popstation folder inside the archive. Here is a list of FAQs that Dark_AleX has included in the readme: * Q: My game generated is a lot bigger in size than the same one from the PS3 Store. * A: They use compression. Because the algorithm of compression is not still cracked, compressed isos are not supported yet. * Q: I have my game in bin/cue. * A: Use the bin as the ISO while converting. * Q: I have my game in img/ccd... * A: Use the img as the ISO while converting. * Q: The savegames have the icon of Hot Shots 2! * A: It's normal. Don't worry. The only problem right now is that the emulator isn't 100% compatible with all the games out there. That's something you'll have to wait for Sony to fix. For the full instructions on converting your games to the POPS format, refer to the readme inside the popstation folder. I'm already busy converting my small collection of PSX games to the POPS format. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yeah, there really are quite a bunch of good PSP games out there now, I'm surprised at how many I have missed in the half an year that I lent my PSP to a friend.

[big List] Not to be a jerk or anything, but almost all of those games are either ports or nearly the same as their PS2 counterpart. It might be a good game, but when I can play it on my TV instead of on a handheld and get the exact same experience, I'd rather do that. In all honesty, most people play their handhelds at home, including myself. I'm not buying a PSP for a remake of GTA or Tekken when I can play something superior.

Obviously you don't know too much about which ones are remakes, since both GTAs for the PSP and are brand new. They did make one GTA for the PS2 a year later, but it lacked multiplayer and other stuff. Ports aside there are more than enough great games for me though.

Bahamut Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 So, I finally bought some PSP games - caught X-Men Legends II, the Gradius Collection, and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth for $40 total. The best part? I paid not a dime since I have a $100 gift card to Toys 'R Us from my XBox 360 purchase. Puts me up to 6 PSP games and hopefully counting.

Why are you playing a handheld at home? Granted, I've played my PSP and DS a few times at my house, especially when I was into animal crossing, but the whole point of a portable system is to be able to play it anywhere. For people who like the franchises on the PS2, playing a sequel, port, or new version of their favorite games on the go is the draw of the PSP library.

I blame the lack of public transport in America. I occasionally play in bed, but usually I'll just play my consoles when I'm at home. But a DS or PSP makes an hour long train ride seem like 15 minutes. At the doctor's office waiting for your appointment? Same deal. If I go camping or on a weekend trip I bring it along for any unexpected times of boredom. I even bring it to work for a little gaming during my down time.

Oh I agree, my friend holding my PSP at the moment uses it all the time because he has to take the subway to get into Manhattan a lot. My greatest usage of a portable is waiting at a damn airport for several hours for my flight. It's just that it's hard to get actual portable usage out of it when you spend most of your time couped up studying. Also, I like the convenience of being able to play on my bed with a handheld. For such relatively small space of my dorm room, it just feels nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
