Just a small Poll

If you answered yes well good for you!

If you answered no please state why, There is many good emulators/homebrew apps (Even two Nintendo 64 emulators in the works) oh also a mac emulator (Please dont pile on me)

You can review all these at

If you dont have a PSP, i recommend you getting one before sony wipe out all the hackable ones and try to rule the world...


We do need some good applications/homebrew/emulators to be made and ported so if any really good C programmer that has a PSP and is willing to pitch in well why not give it a go? There is lots to be done!

I voted yes.

the PSP my wife got recently was purchased purely for watching video content we convert, not to mention the assortment of homebrew utils.

I installed this nice wifi scanner, and its good just to whip out and see what you can see. Saved bring along a laptop in some situations. Handy nonetheless.

The snes emulators aint bad either

Yeah i agree. You dont look as suspicious when you want to use an unprotected Wireless internet service :P

Would be more fun if the 2gb duo stick would turn up my wife bought, it will be a week tomorrow or was that today since it was sent registered post from melbourne.

My wife uses it at the moment to play some snes games I put on it.

We managed to find a value pack model with E code, and thus downgraded it. Some salespeople didn't really understand, but I just kept asking to see the REAL box to confirm what version it was.

Ah well its their own problem

YOu have seen the new N64 emulator have you? Its starting to pull along well.

I was looking at that, and might have to install and test some stuff out.

i answered no cause i used to manage a few EB games stores and still have a lot of mates working there who get cheap games.
i just buy the games off them cheap or borrow the newies.

i really havent read that much into homebrew, might give it a look.
you need firmware 1.0 or 2.6 right?

1.5 ideally.

Moving to technology/gadgets section: the orange sofa is for NON TECH threads.

Had one and sold it as it just didn't do it for me.... Some of my fav MAME games ran really SLOW on it.

Bought it to show clients video, but went for a laptop (again)

I did like Ridge Racer on it

Mame is being worked on now FYI

Most games are running at full speed

what's some of the homebrew sites you guys use.

i've had a look at: http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk so far.

i'm running 2.0 and need to downgrade, any tips guys?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(wally4000 @ May 3 2006, 01:46 PM) [snapback]168785[/snapback]</div>2 reasons.

1) I have several games that required updating the firmware
e.g. GTA:SA required updating the firmware to 2.0 i think it was
Then newer games such as 'Megaman Maverick Hunter X' and 'Exit' required version at least 2.5

2) WPA-PSK support for wireless networks was only usable on later firmware (I forget which version actually impemented WPA-PSK and actually worked). Some games now (such as 'Exit') offer downloadable content that gives you heaps more gameplay.

I tried homebrew stuff at first... but personally I prefered having the ability to buy the many games I get cheap off eBay.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(CaptainComic @ May 8 2006, 07:24 PM) [snapback]170726[/snapback]</div>There's a whole bunch of homebrew apps that have come out in the last 4-5 months, that let you play some 2.0- and 2.5-requiring games, with more and more titles all the time being enabled to do this.. I've done it successfully with GTA, straight off the UMD

but i can understand not caring much about all that and just wanting to play the newest games.
