ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 wow, only a few days ago i was considering getting a PSP, and now i stumble on this... YES! So the psp can actually connect to the internet? I got ADSL, can i connect via cable? Awesome news. Wonder if we can custom colour our valks????
d3v Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 So the psp can actually connect to the internet? I got ADSL, can i connect via cable? No, only through WiFi
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 ok, thanks for the info dunno what that is, but i'll find out!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I know i'm a pain, but i have no idea, and my local retailers are useless with telling me what i want to know, If i buy a Aussie PSP, and Macross Ace Frontier comes out (and probably will only be a Jap release no doubt) can i play it? Or can only USA versions play Jap versions like how the PS3 can share between those 2 regions? I blame Kevin Rudd and the stupid labour party. F'n regions! Edited June 27, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
Mondy Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 ruskiiVFaussie your aussie psp will be able to play the game fine. My old aussie psp has no problem with any games.
KOTUS Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Yep, i'll confirm that as well. An aussie psp can play any game from any part of the world.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) That's great news! Mondy and Kotus cheers mates! *starts to look up prices...* Edited June 27, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie
darkrealmbahamut Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 The thing that is interesting this was actually what pushed me to get a PSP. I can't wait for some game play to appear.

Blame the TV. 60Hz/50Hz is the oldest and most logical regional definition. If you guys had adopted 60Hz NTSC, your PS3s would probably play Japanese and US games. (Honestly, I didn't know that PAL PS3s couldn't play NTSC games)

big F Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Thats why I always buy Japanese consoles because you can usually do more. The PS3 is a prime example with its uk version being neutered when it comes to backward compatability. But it helps when you have a friend who lives there.
lynn2009 Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Watch Impress has an article up on the game. No new information, but some nice pics, especially of the characters. http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20080627/maf.htm Also, there is an official website up at Bandai Namco games, but nothing special yet. http://b.bngi-channel.jp/psp_macross/

LadyLuck® Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) My TVs are all the red/yellow/white connectors.....damn. Graham I think this is what you need... http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=76408 this is a component type(5 cables), I believe there is a composite type(3 cables) My cousin said there are generic types that are sold in HK and Singapore, be sure to ask for a composite type or 2-in-1 type if you are planning to buy a HDtv An example of a 2-in-1 type http://xploder.net/psp/products/191/PSP-to...ding-Cheats.htm Seems you prefer a big screen, I'm a more of a big sreen gamer myself maybe co'z all my life I'm use to it... Anyway the only problem that you may incounter is that, since the resolution of the psp is only 480x272 and it will be stretched on your tv is the video quality might get a little blurry.

JB0 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Thats why I always buy Japanese consoles because you can usually do more. The PS3 is a prime example with its uk version being neutered when it comes to backward compatability. But it helps when you have a friend who lives there. Actually, the UK version was the standard. It was rolled out in America and Japan shortly after the european launch. Europe just got the semi-compatible version first, since their launch was right as they finished the first hardware revision. And the gaming "news" sites made it sound like some evil anti-european conspiracy instead of a global hardware revision. And the system's been revised again since then. NO REGION'S PS3 can play ANY PS2 game now. Most of the time the japanese consoles are, feature-for-feature, identical to the US ones. They're usually pretty close to their european/australian counterparts too, with the variances being largely restricted to what's needed to make them compatible with 50Hz PAL TVs. Certainly the most recent generation has introduced a more complex system, but I'm not really convinced there's a major functionality difference between the japanese OS and the "overseas" OS. Hell, I'd be surprised if they DIDN'T run the exact same OS, with a single byte in ROM telling it which language to default to*. It makes things MASSIVELY simpler if you don't have to maintain multiple code bases. *Sega actually exposed this to the end user, having a very prominent language selection menu on the Saturn and Dreamcast(though it didn't change the regional lockout code, which would've been stupidly awesome). While less obvious due to the wider variety of options, it's also available on the XBoxes and PS2. Speaking of Sega... the Master System was arguably MORE functional outside of Japan. Certainly, the FM music add-on was never made available to the english-speaking world, but we got a built-in maze game! On the other hand, the japanese no-cart demo was fun to look at.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Ahh.. master system.. that's along time ago.
sdf2501 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 And the system's been revised again since then. NO REGION'S PS3 can play ANY PS2 game now. No longer true. In North America at least (and maybe Japan, not sure about Europe though), Sony has re-released a new 80GB PS3 bundle including Metal Gear Solid 4 that can play PS2 games in the region that it was bought. So the 80GB versions with some PS2 backwards compatibility are available again. The 40GB models though still can't play PS2 games.
bluemax151 Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 So would the Jap PSP have somethin over an aussie PSP? Yes and no. My Japanese PSP has additional features but none of these features have support in the US. These features generally require a sort of setup PSP specific WiFi hot spot which of course there are none of in the US. Of course I still have the ability to enjoy it's awesome Blue colour
kensei Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I know i'm a pain, but i have no idea, and my local retailers are useless with telling me what i want to know, If i buy a Aussie PSP, and Macross Ace Frontier comes out (and probably will only be a Jap release no doubt) can i play it? Or can only USA versions play Jap versions like how the PS3 can share between those 2 regions? I blame Kevin Rudd and the stupid labour party. F'n regions! I blame the Labor Party for everything . And F' this movement for 1 laptop per child in Australia, it should be 1 PSP for every child! Anyways' I got around $260 AUD for a PSP (original). How about you? Before shipping. EDIT: I've decided to get a PSP Slim and Lite. It is only $286 AUD shipped for me. That's virtually nothing much more than a normal PSP. From what I gather, the onboard memory has been increased significantly, allowing for faster loading times, and also improves web browsing. I also understand that while lighter due to the reduction of battery size, it still has the same operating time or even longer, all the while having a brighter LCD and also the same interface. I understand though, that it is not as robust as the old PSP. I would love it if it had bluetooth (can't find any info though, and hopes still run high as it has WiFi) so I can connect to my Logitech Freepulse wireless headphones. This will be my first hand held system, and I am surprised at how affordable they are. Edited June 28, 2008 by kensei

So your getting a Jap one? Where did you get it Kensei? I'm thinking i'll wait for the Jap - MacrossAceFrontier special release (wishful thinking), but that's if i can hold out. Apparently the guys at my local EB Games said that there is no problem hooking up the PSP to pretty much any respectable tv. Just need the right cables, bonus!

JB0 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 No longer true.

So the 80GB versions with some PS2 backwards compatibility are available again. The 40GB models though still can't play PS2 games. Semi-sweet! I'm glad to be running on outdated news this time. I imagine I'd wind up tripping on the PS3 semi-compatibility though. Me and the 360 already aren't seeing eye to eye on XBox 1 game selection. But PS2s are a dime a dozen, so the back-compatibility doesn't worry me... yet. Eventually my PS2 will die, like my PS1 before it. And they'll become harder and harder to replace as time goes on. Hell, some day even my SegaCD will die. But it's at least got decent emulation now. PS1 still has a ways to go, and PS2... yeah, let's not talk about that. The fact that my SegaCD top-loader has ALREADY outlived my PS1 from 1999 and my XBox from 2005 is sad enough as it is.

ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 heh heh of course there is more pilots, there is a screeny of Max with TV suit/helm. So i gues that means Hikaru will have the same. Max gets the most apearances, VF-1J, VF-1A TV, VF-1A DYRL, VF-22... Un-lockable TV suits?? I hope there is Macross Zero Valks!!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone please confirm? Bring on Shin! Bring on Roy with 0S reactive!

OK, I also wanna see Mylene, the SV-51, the Konig Monster, Guld, etc. And one interesting thing -- It looks like they've taken the DYRL designs... but then instead of having Max defect over to the Meltran side, they've brought Millia over to the UN Spacy. So it follows TV continuity with DYRL designs! (she's wearing a DYRL flightsuit)
