PSP....

[thai boxer]

Just bought one.....what can be 'done' with them? Modded etc'? Cheap games?

Pro's and con's of doing it?

i take it is a small and lite one because they do all the extra stuff
gps, mp3, movies, internet, photos everything really dont no why people bother with ipods
there is a post with it all in on page 2 on here (games consoles)

If its a new PSP (slim) then they can be a real pain to downgrade/upgrade to custom firmware. I dont think there are any cons to having custom firmware. I use 3.80 M33 on mine so it does every the sony 3.80 firmware does and also allows me to play iso's and game backups.

Is it a slim one? and what firmware does it have?

psp-hacks.com is a great site for info.

Cheers guys. Dont know which one it is yet, bought it on here but havn't received it yet.

Does it matter then? I know nothing bout them really so any help on how to mod them would be good.

The new slim psp's can be modded but it will cost you as you need a pandoras battery and memory card, etc... it gets abit complicated but it is possible.

If its the older type, a fat psp then they can be modded real easy and wont cost you a thing aslong as the firmware is 3.03 or below, even easier if its 2.71 or below.

EDIT:It allows me to backup my games and run them from the memory card which saves battery life

Ive got about 40 games now.

I wouldn't brag, it's not much different to going into Woolies and stuffing a load of stuff up your jumper

My mate can mod the hell out of them. You need a big card tho. Ill find out if you are interested. He sticks all the snes and md and arcade and neogeo emulators on it plus you can `back up` your psp games on card.

Emulators! Emulators for everything!

I've got a GP2X... somewhere. I forget what I've done with it. I think Jen & I have FAR too many gadgets.

Great gadget for retro nutters like me. Mine's been sat next to my laptop for the last 3 months RIP Something fell of the circuit board and i got fed up with soldering it back in place every other day hence i bought a PSP. Will be keeping an eye on the Pandora too once thats released
