Well, it still depends on how you look at stuff. I bought my first PSP1000 when the PSP2000 was originally announced. At that point, the price for PSP1000 is at a high as there is rumours saying how the PSP2000 cannot be hacked and must use UMD in order to play. So, i spent more instead of waiting for the new PSP for the reason as said by you, expensive UMD etc.

However, just barely 1 month after i grab the PSP1000, a CFW was officially announced for PSP2000 and the price started to drop way cheaper than the price i bought the PSP1000. In the end, i got myself another PSP2000 as well.

So in this case, my personal advice is to wait for the CFW to be announced for the PSP3000 (if you can wait for it) and if you feel the PSP3000 is a better device than the PSP2000. Else, then there is no choice but to pick up the PSP2000 now at a jacked up price.



You mean firmware? It varries. Might cost RM10 - RM30 depending on places or sometimes, you can get upgrade for free

owh okay thanks yah!!

Ehhh but now if you look at the 3000 model, in my opinion, the interlacing issue, you know, the scan lines, it makes me appreciate my 2000 even more.

if in long term, original UMD is really costly to buy, but for me i will buy psp 3000 first.. then wait until can crack ..hehe..
cause now psp 3000 is extremely damn cheap.. 750 with 1 free UMD only ...,

maybe half years later, psp 3000 can be crack, then i can confirm the price is more higher than RM 750, and i estimate is around 850~950, when that time buy, then is not worth jor..thats my opinion only..
i work at games shop 3 years already... last time the same situation goes to psp 2000

Hey,upgrades are developed by psp hackers who release it FOR FREE.So you can upgrade it ALL by yourself unless you own an official firmware psp unit as that'll require a Pandora's Battery to hack.If you BUY upgrades,i'd say it'll be totally unfair to psp developers who spend hours and hours in front of their monitor coding the entire custom firmware.They do the work for no payment,but others who do nothing,sell them.

Well, thats one issue that needed to be considered. As in its a long term issue or can be solved in the later batches of PSP3000. Still, its still not worthy to purchase the PSP2000 at this point due to the price.

i see.

hurm,knape korng nye area jual psp mhal sgt??

here,800+ already can get 8gb(i think it fake m.stick but mine still works)-psp 2000

Hey allen96713,i was wondering wether you have original 4GB sticks(Magic gate supported) in your shop.If yes,can you please PM me the price? Thanks man

4GB is not enough nowadays. 8GB will be gud but also still not big enough for me. I bought mine at RM169 which is a M2

its enough if u don't play pirate game and movies

8gb also not that big,if ahem game can only put like 8-10 games

better buy 16gb if have

woah... and here i only got 2x 2gb cards... cant be too greedy..

ermmm i got only one 2G and one 4G MSPD... the ahem version lahhhh.... poor people can't afford buy the ori one.... but still not enough.... planning to get a ahem 8G next month.... if financial allowed then maybe 2....

hey guise how come der r two diff versions for the M2? apparently one has a MARK2 on it whras the other does not. wat does it mean?

http://astore.amazon.com/pspaccessories-20...ing=UTF8&node=5

a question

anyone upgraded from 3.90M33-3 to the latest versions yet?

i am still looking on how to do this

not sure how to reach 5.00 too ...

hey man,u just like me,i already owned 2gb,4gb,8gb m.stick
but sadly the 4gb has broke,if want to play,must insert it with force,but the stick will come out again

Go dark alex website n follow the instruction lo.

i have looked there, its currently

>> 3.71 fatmsmod for 5.00 M33. (Release) (Mirror)
>> 5.00 M33-3. (Release) (Mirror)
>> Popsloader for 5.00 M33. (Release) (Mirror)
>> 1.50 Kernel addon for 5.00 M33

I have all original versions from 3.90 until 5.00 but where are the customs ?

3.90 i can direct upgrade?

need to wait around how long more the 3000 series only can be modded???plan to grab 1 now but scare hav to wait long to modded...the ori game not cheap...

Note : There have been many cases of bricks upon upgrade,so it's up to you to take the risk.Otherwise,it's all good.


Requirements :
1)A phat/slim psp which has custom firmware 3.52m33-3 or any firmware above it.
*Minimum requirement is 3.52m33-3*

Guide

1) First of all,you need to set your kernel to 3.xx/4.xx.You can do so in recovery mode or in your VSH menu (if you have the VSH addon plugin installed)

**Recovery : Hold the off switch for 3-5 seconds,then HOLD R and boot your psp up.Now go to configuration,and click X at the "Game Folder Homebrew" option until it displays as 3.xx/4.xx kernel.Example : On a 3.52m33-3/4 psp,it should show as 3.52 kernel.

2) Download the 5.00M33 installer here

3) Download the 5.00 eboot.pbp here

4) Use your preferred software to extract the 5.00M33 rar file.You should now get two folders (UPDATE and Translate) as well as a readme.txt file.

5) Copy the UPDATE folder and paste it in ms0:/PSP/GAME.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp **

6)Time,for the 5.00 eboot (step 2).

7) Copy the 500.PBP and paste it in your ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp and 500.pbp **

8) That's all,seriously.All you need to do now is to run the installer on your PSP.

** The installer will seem very official like,but don't worry,that's how it's supposed to be like **

9) Remember,once the update is over,PRESS X/O when it asks you to do so or your psp will brick!!

10) What else,enjoy!

does psp supports divx codec or avi video files?

why need avi when we have pmp format

i dun get it...still what if i got avi video?...can it supports?..or need to convert to pmp format?

yes u must convert. psp only recognize pmp as a video format.
tons of free & good converters out there, just google

i juz bought a mark2 8gb from lelong, but the problem is my psp doesnt seem to be able to read it, initially it was 3.90m33-2, n since it cant read, i upgrade it to 5.00m33-3, but it still cant read it, but i tried to read it using another psp(3.90m33.3) it can read, i tried format the ms using that psp n even tried to reset the flash01 of my psp in the recovery there, it still cant read the ms. anyone here face this b4? anyone have any idea what went wrong?

No,not by default.You can use certain homebrew applications to get this video format to work on your unit,but it isn't that good if you ask me.

As chicaman said,PMP format is way better as it's good in quality and it's small in size.Go get yourself a PMP player and start watching it! Just for your information,you can't play this video format by default as well,you'll need to get a PMP player like PMP MOD or something like that.

hey guys can the psp2000 tv-out to all LCD TVs like Toshiba Regza? iz the quality as good as a ps2 and how long can the psp battery tahan this way?

Is that PSP3000 is using a more sophisticated CPU to defeat the purpose of CFW ? [like what happened in PS3]

last yr for the case of PSP2000, not too long after the launch of it, DA alrdy came out with 3.71 M33, whereas this time with PSP3000, DA seems struggling on running CFW on PSP3000. Although PSP3000 has launched a week or 2 already.

There's some ppl mentioned about replacing PSP2k CPU on a 3k mobo, if that's the only mean to run CFW and ahem games, that would be a costly and unviable solution.

psp support pmp?
must have software to play on psp??like the gpsp to play gba games??Pmp mod,gonna google it

hurm,i only know that psp support mp4 and avc or something but the mp4 size usually too big
mp4 vs pmp which is better

PMP is way better.Mp4 is decent though.

PSP doesn't support it by default.Yes,similar to gpsp where a tool is used to get something which is NOT meant to work on a psp unit to actually work on it.

nice, Toshiba Regza's screen ratio is 16:9, the same as the psp's screen. that means if you plug it in, it will be full screen.
graphics wise, it wont look as good as ps2, but definitely better than ps1 for sure. but depends on the game also. haha. tried crisis core on my aunt's tv, the cutscenes were awesome. looks like watching a movie.
battery, well, im not sure about that. i guess the drainage will reduce since the screen is off and the tv is displaying.

you need a Component Cable for it. try googling it. or if youre rajin, check my previous posts some 1~2 months back. i've covered about it.

the problem is, the DA team still needs to decrypt the modules in the 3k cpu.
better you watch this for clarification
PSP Updates

conversation between darkalex and royginald.

and the file is smaller than mp4??must get this one.
can pmp change video size on psp??

i dun like to watch zoom or big screen

i like to watch medium(2nd smallest)

aih.. much more troublesome than cracking the PSP 2000. No wonder PSP2k sells like hot cake and its soon becoming antique
Sony's gonna shoot them in their foot by not allowing HB(ahem games) on PSP. They should learn M$ way, close one eye

I think u got a faulty card. Can your computer read it???

omg shops in the states have already removed all the psp2000 and currently selling psp3000 ratchet bundle and psp3000 core pack.

holy cow... i never bothered to watch videos on my psp so i never knew.. thanks playboy

guys, which one is better? the phat or the slim one? planning to get one soon

Anytime man

It really is up to you.

(Good Stuff)
- A slim unit is lighter,better speakers (different position),faster UMD loading,better RAM,loads the internet browser faster (Very small difference) and a few other stuff.
- A fat unit has a solid feel to it as it sinks in your palms really well,it has Ir support,it's UMD drive is much better and it's capable of running 1.50 kernel homebrew.

(Bad Stuff)

- A slim unit has no ir support,not capable of running 1.50 homebrew (kXploit format),feels plasticky (For some,not me though).
- One might say that a fat unit is heavy,slow UMD loading,slow internet browsing,and a few others.

Basically,it's up to you.Go to a shop,see it for yourself,compare it and buy the one you like most.It doesn't matter if you buy a fat unit or a slim one,they're all just as good.

Ya, my computer can read it. my fren's psp2006 with version 3.90m33-3 can read it, but juz my psp2006 5.00m33-3 cant read it

ah.... u forgot, only the slim can support skype.

I try to connect wireless. In setup, there's an option to enter peap password. I dunno what to put? When i on9 using notebook, the peap password in setting i put "provided for me automatically", in psp, how? Also When use laptop, need to put my user name and password, how to do all these in psp?

hey guys can rekomen me some gal games ma .... other than locco rocco ...

hi, can i know if i buy psp from u.s can i play it in msia?
homebrew is it downloadable games? if yes,den psp from u.s can play homebrew??

katamari, patapon, harvest moon, gripshift, flow, bomberman, diner dash, catch monkey, metal slug... er... by girl games u mean those cute cute freakishly adorable games right?




well
as we see it...
wherever u buy it from, u can play homebrew games

as long as it's a custom firmware.

homebrew is home made, self developed games.

for more info... playboy21~

Alright,homebrew applications/games/flashers/plugins are third party developments made by fellow psp users who have got a decent programming knowledge. (C,C++,Lua,SDL etc).

Homebrew can be played on custom firmware psps,1.50,1.00 and a few other firmwares using HEN,but these days,every psp user (in here) uses custom firmware.Custom firmware is actually the official firmware which is homebrew capable.This means you can enjoy EVERY feature that an official firmware user that can enjoy,as well as run homebrew and other cool stuff.

So now,if you get your psp from US (example),it for sure will have official firmware on it.You can only hack it using a Pandora's Battery which works on some mother boards (Not the newer v3 ones).

Hope that helps you,chernie.

woo can always count on u for the long winded & detailed explanations..

psp now got good games,better buy it now
pes2009!!

i already found pmpmod but can't download it
dunno why
trying to search at download.com..no luck

*psp2006 with version 3.90m33-3 , psp2006 5.00m33-3*
what are all those 3.90m and 5.00m numbers? *very very confused newbie*

3.90, 5.00 means version number

the addition of M33 indicates that it is a custom/modified firmware by people outside sony. M33-x usualy means the X-th revision of the firmware with minor patching

mwahaha
