I guess there's a need to distinguish between homebrew games and your legally backed-up games.

For homebrew games, as long as your PSP can support homebrew (V1.50 or custom firmwares), then there's no need of a UMD whatsoever.

For your legally backed-up games, yes, some older custom firmwares or firmware emulators need a UMD to run inside to load your legally backed-up game inside your MSPD.

I hope you can see the line between homebrew games and your legally backed-up games.

You're at V3.52 or V3.52 M33?

The shop says? Why don't you check it out for yourself by yourself?

XMB -> System Settings -> System Information

There's a way. Get PSPFiler and change the file locations on-the-go.

Situations:
Your gf's not here. Another chick's photos stay in MS_ROOT/PICTURE/.

Your gf's here. Run PSPFiler, change target chick's photos to MS_ROOT/ANOTHER_CHICK/

Upgrade to custom firmware (latest is V3.52 M33-2) and you can play original UMDs. And you can also play your legally backed-up games on your MSPD.



Anyways, just to directly answer your question: Nope, newer UMD games require newer firmwares.

The seller didn't give wrong information. Just lack details.

He's asking about sound quality lah bro.

Does this mean that those fellas are virtually selling custom firmwares under the name Kickstart?

Wow.. Speechless..

Thanks for pinning up this thread.

Thank you.

Erm, there's a 100% way to spot a reconditioned (but sell as new) PSP but there's no 100% way to spot a totally new PSP.

Thing to look out for: serial numbers.

Check the serial number on the PSP and the serial number on the box:
- if both are not the same, then it's confirmed that it's a reconditioned PSP.
- if both are the same, it might not necessarily be a totally new one too (it might still be a reconditioned one).

As for dead/stuck pixels, maybe you can create a white image and a black image at 480 x 272 pixels and put them in your MSPD. Then, when testing the console, insert your MSPD and use the XMB photo viewer to view the white and black image.

(A quick recap: A pixel consists of 3 colours; Red, Green, Blue.

A dead pixel is a pixel which doesn't have any of those [hence, 0] colours working.

A stuck pixel is a pixel which have one or more but less than three [hence, 1 or 2] colours working.)

So, to check for a dead pixel, you should use a white image. If you can see black spots, then that's a dead pixel. Similarly, to check for a stuck pixel, you should use a black image. If you can see bright spots, then that's a stuck pixel.

System Settings -> System Information

You should see the system's firmware there.

On the PSP, it's located just below the Home button.

See here:


Erm, not really. Go for trusted dealers, such as Bernard Moh or DjiNn.

Hang in the middle of the game? Or while exiting?

The rule hasn't changed.

Just go from V3.40OE to V3.52M33. You don't have to go to V1.50 first.

ChottoShot is for Japan while Go!Cam is for Europe (and the rest of the world).

The answer is yes, as long as it's a UMD, it'll run.

And yep, as akachester stated up there,

He mentioned games.

Whoops sorry, misinterpretation.
