Solscud007 Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I think that if it is a launch PSP, then it is preset at 1.0....you have to download the firmware updates, so I guess that if they are launch PSP's, then you are all set.Twich 339385[/snapback] no he is asking how can one tell which version a PSP whe they buy it? and without opening the box? I heard soemthing about the serial number

JsARCLIGHT Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 OK, the question on my (and possibly a lot of people's) mind right now: How is GTA: Liberty City Stories? Did I sell my PSP too soon or is it a steaming pile of rushed crap like all the reviewers seem to be indicating?
pfunk Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 shurly a stupid question, but can you play regular playstation games on the psp
Dangard Ace Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 shurly a stupid question, but can you play regular playstation games on the psp 340156[/snapback] Nope. CD/DVD's are too big. You need UMD media games (which are basically tiny DVD's in a plastic encasing). As for me, I love my PSP. Picked up SSX On Tour and Sega Tennis for PSP and I'm playing both games more then I'm playing PS2 Colossus, which I picked up at the same time.
eugimon Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 oh yeah... SSX for the PSP is great fun... I've been playing X-Men II lately and before that I burned through Gundam Battle Tactics which was good giant robot fun
bandit29 Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 OK, the question on my (and possibly a lot of people's) mind right now:How is GTA: Liberty City Stories? Did I sell my PSP too soon or is it a steaming pile of rushed crap like all the reviewers seem to be indicating? 340152[/snapback] Aren't all GTA games rushed out crap? Actually it seems to be getting some really good reviews but I won't be buying it. http://1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3145010&did=1 http://psp.ign.com/articles/661/661082p1.html Lately I've just been playing Guilty Gear XX# Reload and Tenchu Shinobi Taizen for my PSP. Tenchu could use some polish if it comes out in the US. I might go buy Burnout Legends for the PSP but for 50.00 I might as well buy one of the PS2 versions. Armored Core for the PSP is coming out in a few weeks.
Zentrandude Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I am impressed they made it multiplayer capable even with the issues it has. Im not impressed with the 3rd party multi thief auto for the other games (too easy to cheat and buggy)
Otaku-Smeghead Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 so does any one have any ideas on my question. How can you tell if a PSP can play NES rom games by simply looking at the box??
zeo-mare Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 so does any one have any ideas on my question.How can you tell if a PSP can play NES rom games by simply looking at the box?? 341224[/snapback] i do not think you can tell, if i recall you can download a file that can let you downgrade to the proper Ver. so you can play roms. right now I have tons of roms on mine including PC Engine CD games like Dracula X and Spriggan as well as Neo Geo CD, SNES, Gameboy Advance and many others. chris
goldenboy_forever Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Alright guys is there any real real diffrence between psp game and a ps2 game . I have to debate if I should get the game for my psp or ps2. Since a psp game is now 50 bucks. For example the new ssx game that came out is there any diffrence between the psp version and the ps2 version? Are they exactly the same? I'm playing grand theft auto for the psp I like it. Its just like the original for ps2 it also comes with the software up date 2.0 with web browser you use the analog joy stick as the mouse. I also pickup the nyko from frys electronics for 70 bucks. Its pretty cool bulit in speakers that are really loud has bulit in rechargable battery 5hr life span has port for 2 ear phones also charges the psp while it s charging it self(docking station) comes with wires so that it doesn't have to be docking while you play. The bad its one of those rechargable battery that you shouldn't over charge or let is un charge all the way. Say you want to use the speakers on the nyko but its out of battries so you would think that is would use the battery power from you psp but it doesn't. So you have to have some power in your nyko in order to use the speakers. also the battery depleats its self reguardless of useage. So if you don't use it still runs out of battery. usually when you have the ac adaptor pluged in to you psp it still works but say your nyko is out of battery you plug in the ac adaptor you have to let it charge some time or else if you try to use it while its pluged in it still dies out since the out put is greater than the input. very compact just fits your psp so you have to take off your little white wrist strap for the psp. from Rich Edited November 1, 2005 by goldenboy_forever
bandit29 Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 Gradius collection coming to the PSP in Feburary in Japan. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6137102.html Anyone try Sony's new PSP media software? Download is 19.95 and 24.95 for a boxed version. http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/...&FeatureID=8403 Sony should have made this free for PSP owners.

Download is 19.95 and 24.95 for a boxed version.http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/...&FeatureID=8403 Sony should have made this free for PSP owners. 341938[/snapback] Okay now that's just BS. No way I'm "paying" for software that should've been included when I forked out cash for a PSP. I'll continue using PSPVideo9, thank you very much. For example the new ssx game that came out is there any diffrence between the psp version and the ps2 version No idea. I don't have SSX Tour for the PS2. Maybe I'll rent it one of these days. For now, all I know is I really enjoy being able to play SSX on the go.
eugimon Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 meh. the psp was supposed to be a gaming a gaming device first and foremost and a movie playback deal second. Everything else is just a bonus. You don't need that software to access the capabilities of the PSP and Sony hasn't tried to stop the freeware at all so what's the complaints about? No one is making you buy their slow and bloated interface, I certainly won't but it's not like they're the devil for offering it.
bandit29 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) This will make the PSP 10lbs j/k Datel 4GB hard drive Edited November 8, 2005 by dejr8bud
Zentrandude Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 old news, same with the battery. Im noy sure it would be good since its so expensive and so bulky.
cobywan Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 I would rather carry two memory sticks. Although a 20G harddrive would make that tempting. But the buk is detracting.

Black Valkyrie Posted November 8, 2005 Posted November 8, 2005 From magicbox : Super Robot Taisen MX Portable - EB Games reported that Sega will release Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast for PSP in US on March 1, 2006, the latest work of the popular Ferrari racing series.
yellowlightman Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I'm curious as to why someone hasn't made a USB adaptor for SD or CF cards yet for the PSP. SD and CF is waaaaaay cheaper than Sony's Memory Stick.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 there's some group out there making a mulitcard reader for the psp...i think it has cf, sd and regular memory stick slots

JsARCLIGHT Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Just a question for those who know: I'm not sure if someone brought this up already (50+ pages to look over is a tad long to browse) but one of my guys at my office came in this week with a white PSP. He said it was the japanese release. Are these just like the american PSPs? Are there any differences between the two? His display was in all english from what I could tell. I asked him about the AC power adaptor and if it was US compatable and he did not really answer me. It was quite freaky looking, looked like a huge Ipod or something... Anyone here have one of those?

JsARCLIGHT Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Other than that are they exactly alike? I know the PSP is supposed to be "regionless" when it comes to games but I think he said something like it would only play "region 2" UMD movies. Are UMD movies region encoded? I also would think it runs the Japanese 100/ power rather than american 120/... anyone know? I just thought the thing was so freaky... all white... it just looked "wrong". Made me think of the South Park gold PSP.
yellowlightman Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I also would think it runs the Japanese 100/ power rather than american 120/... anyone know? 344344[/snapback] I think Japan is actually 110volts? Either way, it doesn't matter too much. I plus my Japanese PS2, laptop and cell phone into my 120v wall sockets all the time and I haven't had any problems.

My PSP charges up just fine in the US, Korea&Japan and europe
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 (edited) So technically then there is absolutely no difference between the white japanese PSP and the black american one? Edit: other than the color, durhey. Edited November 12, 2005 by JsARCLIGHT

yellowlightman Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Well, there's different regions for movies, right?
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I think the guy at my office bought it just to be different... the other squirrels all have black PSPs. I wonder how the white plastic will hold up over time? Will it yellow? And on the note of UMD movies, who here actually buys and watches them? I don't know a single person who has any, aside from the one guy who got Spiderman 2 with his unit. Oh and I got to play GTA: Liberty City Stories on a friend's unit (the guy who had the white one actually). Wow that game gave me a headache... what is up with the "streaking" that it seams to have? It appeared to me like the image goes ever so slightly out of focus whenever the game screen moves. After a while it started to give me a headache. Can anyone else comment on that? Is it just me?
eugimon Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 Well, there's different regions for movies, right? 344370[/snapback] yeah, europe and asia are one region and the US is another... not a big deal. if you really like the movies you can import them with outfits like lik-sang The novelty of the movies wears off though. haha. just get a 1gig memory stick and rip your own/
TSP Posted November 13, 2005 Posted November 13, 2005 I own a white jap PSP. There is a smal difference between the black and the white one . The square button has been modified a bit.
