hello, i wanna ask that will my psp play any UMD VIDEO?

or must buy only UMD Video with specified region code?

how to know my psp falls into which region code?
*

UMD Video is not region free so u only can play it on a PSP with the specific region.

QUOTE(WikiPedia.org)
UMD Video regions

    * Region 0: Worldwide (in-flight-movies, cinemas, ferries, etc.)
    * Region 1: United States, Canada, U.S. territories, Latin America
    * Region 2: European Union, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland, French territories

Hey guys! I think I'm the newest addition to the Malaysian PSP owner community!
I just got my new PSP slim from Nelson today.
And it was awesome! Already transferred Dead Fantasy HD into my PSP for viewing pleasure!
Anyway I got a question here.
When I asked Nelson whether I can play games more than 5 hours, he said the battery life can last only as long as 3 to 4 hours.
But can we use the theory of the laptop and its battery work here?

My friend said it's easy to solve the problem.
Just take out the battery and insert the power supply into your PSP while your playing your games.
This way you won't charge the battery while playing games and you are provided constant power supply and gaming for as long as you can.
Just wanna ask whether this method is usable or not?

Kindly reply, anyone who knows. Thanks!

Hey man thanks for the 'advice'?
Can somebody answer my question seriously?
If we can game during the charging of the PSP battery, doesn't that mean it already solved the PSP battery life problem?
We can game on the PSP for as long as we want this way right?
As long as power is constantly supplied to the PSP with or without the battery?

I need help. I just bought an original Hori Screen Protector and when i stuck it on the screen, I notice a small streak from top to bottom of my left side of the screen just wouldn't stick and bubbles (in a line from top to bottom) appears.

Thinking that the protector was defected, i unpeeled it and turn it around and restick it, only to find the same result. This means that my screen, on the left side is probably no even or so.

Has anybody exprienced this and managed to rectify it? Please advise.

where u bought it?. are u sure u got the original n are u sure u bought the right version?. from what i know, slim n fat use different size of screen protector...

?? But I'm sure Nelson told me it would not do the battery good.
Also I found 2 contradicting answers on yahoo answers regarding this issue.
Look at the best answer on both questions.

This one says the PSP can be played using only power supply without the battery.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...5AAshRJl&show=7

While this one says without the battery, the charger will damage the system.

Anyone tried CFW 3.93 by Mathieulth?

QUOTE
While waiting for the next custom firmware coming from Dark AleX and Team M33, there's one based on the official Sony PlayStation Portable firmware 3.93 that surfaced which appears to be a functional alternative. Only known as CFW 3.93, it's said to be rooted in M33's work and gives credit to usual CFW contributors.

To kick things off, here's the changelog provided for CFW 3.93

* Uses the 3.93 kernel
* Implented all the original custom firmware features.
* Ability to use the normal recovery inside the XMB by pressing the HOME button:
o When in the recovery, the system is suspended, and you can change all options directly.
o All options work immediatly, there is no need to reboot (even the Slim's USB charging option)
o Ability to make a Pandora battery from the recovery, read and restore the EEPROM, etc. Providing that the motherboard supports it.
* Ability to hide the MAC adress in System Information, if you do so, the MAC will show visually as all 0's.
* Ability to save the savegames in normal format, rather then encrypted (only functions in March33 and Sony NP9960 mode).
* The native 3.93 pops isn't as good as the previous pops, therefor I hope the popsloader will get updated to support 3.93.

We're yet to get a hold of any confirmation pertaining to who made this particular custom firmware, but Dark AleX and Team M33 received recognition together with Hellcat's Saveplain plug-in. Mathieulh also supposedly agreed to publish this CFW 3.93.

And for the USB 2 in 1 power refill and data transfer cable, it says we need to turn off the power of both the psp and the PC or laptop and then turn on the PC again in order for it to charge.
Will it do any harm if I plug in the power refill into the PC USB port when the computer is still on?

Also another funny question.
How to undo the crystal case from my PSP?
I want to take out the battery but there are no slots on the crystal case for easy taking out.

Anyone know any good shop that can put CFW on my OFW (3.80) slim psp-2001 in Penang Island?

Would be good to know the good shops for when I go back to Malaysia in July.

Could you also list the price I would expect to pay.

thanks for help.

LOL you asked the same question as I did yesterday.
You can check the answer in the previous page.
But there can be contradicting answers.
Yes, you can play the game while charging it.
But of course logically speaking, it won't do good to the battery life I think?
It's best if you take out the battery first if you wanna play using just the power supply.
It all depends on whether you want to prolong your battery life or not.
If I were you, I will not play the psp while charging.

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?
I have a mm3-3.80 version psp, and i play a game call "warlock", when i play half way then will hang at there. Is it need to update for that firmware or any way to solve it ???
juniorpop
QUOTE(DFlo @ May 4 2008, 03:25 PM)

Because the battery will have to input and output power at the same time if you're playing while you're charging.
Whereas if you just charge it without playing, the battery will get a clean charge without having to output the power supply.
Oh well that's what I think so what the heck..

To make firmware 3.80/3.90 works like cfw 3.71 m33


Copy and paste :

Patch to load 3.71 fatmsmod in 3.80/3.90 M33
The purpose of this patch is to load the fat memory stick driver of 3.71 in 3.80/3.90 to make memory stick reading work better.


Note: fatmsmod of 3.71 usually works better because it has a better cache system, and usually reads on bigger blocks.
(in some things is worse than 3.89/3.90 like sometimes reading more data than needed - lazy prediction -).

A question...

Is there any way to install timemachine v0.1 on slim psp without pandora battery? unsure.gif
