starscream, if you get rid of the box i think they wont tax you would they?

Custom firmware(CFW) is pre-installed in PSP if you buy here in Malaysia(except SonyStyle or any other genuine seller of course). In other words, the seller wouldn't even need to turn on the PSP to install CFW because it's already in the machine. Best Buy in U.S, surely has official firmware only and you are highly unlikely to be able to ask the staff to hack it for you, i believe U.S. has strict control on piracy stuff as well.

If CFW is important for you(you know what i mean right?) then buy it back home is a better choice in my opinion. Since you're using a hacked PSP you won't be able to claim warranty if something goes wrong anyways.

Yea, this trick would work. Just treat it as if its one of your stuffs that you brought along for the trip into the country. But you have to sacrifice the box, which is kinda sad if you're the type of people that like to keep boxes of gadgets that you bought Anyway, even at our weak exchange rate now, its kinda cheap. You just have to make sure you're getting the version that can be hacked, which excludes the dreaded motherboard revision TA-088v3, the biggest enemy of homebrews. I'm sure you'll miss playboy21's homebrew shooter then And since the PSP3000 is releasing soon and with the PSP2000 production being stopped, now should be the prime time to get a version that can be hacked before its price hiked up. I think Sony won't make the PSP3000 much easier than TA-088v3. Its now or never!

lol, yeah, just a box sacrifice then you are tax free.

havent touched my psp for 2-3 days now. kinda bored with it..
what am i supposed to do now.. last time was playing prince of persia.. n stuck at that lava level.. damn hard.. damn hard..

Prince of persia series is always very hard to control compared to PC version in my opinion. I just played PoP : Rival Swords on and off, because sometimes its really frustrating with the controls. You have to constantly adjust the camera to do things properly. I'm currently stuck at last level of Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core. Monster are too tough, because I played without completing the side missions. I think reached there with only 5% side missions completed. Guess I have to complete more to collect better items to fight Genesis in the final battle. You can try out Daxter, at least its simpler compared to PoP. Playstation games are meant to be enjoyable and fun, not frustrating

prince of persia nice?

i mean graphic wise.

gameplay like crisis core?

last sentence is the best.
yeah, its supposed to be enjoyable, not frustratingly frekking hard. T_T
crisis core, well. haha. i didnt complete it too. stuck at the last boss battle. that sissy dude who loves poetry.. what was his name again?. tah, dunno dont give a damn no more.
stupid, i want to play games to enjoy myself. not to torture my brain..

@_@

graphics, well, okay. looks like a PS1 game. you can search around for screenshots. gameplay wise, is very linear. im not really a fan of linear games, but well. just play along. got no other game summore.

what other games have you guys finished?

i finished crisis core. the ending is splendid.

god of war , im stuck at the monster at the bridge --" damn hard for newbies like me to finish it

damn. i cant finish the last boss. @_@
idk, i play racing games the most. nfs series, wipeout pulse, burnout legends. other than that, crisis core, god of war, prince of persia, that shooting game i forgot the name, echochrome <--(yup, gotta love this game. hahaha )
i've completed god of war though, just okay. gameplay rocks, but short levels and simple puzzles.

yeah got my psp for god of war, crisis core and tekken.
god of war too bad the story is so short. it would be nice if its longer like crisis core.

i play juiced2 for racing. its good.

yeah2 juiced 2. how come i forgot about that. nice game. love the drift races.
you dont sleep?.

i do sleep. abit later

you dont sleep?

nah, i dont sleep.
i noticed the speakers i added on my psp are producing high pitched sounds when idle. i guess its because the current still running.
still, the capacitors should cut off any low currents. hmm..
too lazy to open again.

if can find speakers that are as compact as the one psp originally uses good loh

juz giv some time to hacker to hack on psp3000 ... ntg is unhackable ...

Yo guys a question from a newb to all the pros around here.

Does having a phat PSP with a TA-82 motherboard with a corrupted idstorage keys warning when upgraded mean that the PSP is hard-modded?

Aw, how much i envy you! I was after the ending too! But to bad I'm separated from the splendid ending by the last boss which is too tough for me, a noob psp gamer. Frankly speaking, I bought my psp to play Crisis Core, coz I would really see how the story connect to the movie Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Nicely done. Stories are strongly connected. I really feel immersed into the character Zack I'm playing. A good one from SquareEnix. toottut89, how did you manage to finish off the boss? Got tips? Argh, now I'm frustrated and desperate for the ending cutscene

In my opinion Prince of Persia series are more to precision gaming, so the character can actually do more acrobatic moves than Final Fantasy. But Final Fantasy rules on the game depth and storyline. And yea, the graphic is beautiful for Prince of Persia. Final Fantasy is great too, but the color setting is more to fantasy color scheme. And god, monster hunter freedom 2 graphics are really superb, but too much loading time, probably the PSP RAM can't hold so much area at the same time, too much detail

Heh finish most of those games alredi (GoW & FF7 still the best!!) except PoP...tak tahan see the graphic
