Hi guys, I wanted to ask which PSP is more worth it to buy, is it from
SOny authorized seller, or FROM normal shops where can be easily found at SG Wang, Lowyat and ect which doesnt provide Sony's 5 years warranty.
Actually I know nothing much about PSP and Im not interested at all to buy
a PSP previously. But suddenly my lil sister asked me to buy for her
birthday on mid of December.

As for me, money is not an issue. Ive checked SOny Style website and
the current price for PSP Slim (PSP-2006) is rm799.

I wonder what will be included in the box?
And, If I were to buy an original PSP Slim from SOny Style,
could I play the PSP games that can be downloaded from internet without modify anything or downgrade the chip?
And If I buy the UMD original games(the one that looks like catridge) which normally costs about rm100++, can I copy the game into the PSP memory and play the game from the memory instead from the catridge.
Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks in advance..

basically I don't recommend to buy from Sony-MY. RM799 is just to chop vegetable head, compare with Singapore and HK, their PSP Slim price is around RM600+ after conversion to MYR. If you stay at JB then can go Singapore to buy, then mod the firmware here and it's still cheaper than RM799.

One noobie question, when I transfer my songs into the Music folder, how do I make the cover art appear on the PSP slim when playing the album/ songs? Because I have one album where the cover art appears but the rest does not. Any setting, or any specific naming convention for the cover art? By the way, i'm using CFW 3.71 m33-3.
*
if it can be seen on Vista, then it should be seen on PSP too
ahh... u can implement a custom image as album art with mp3tag

what about the sound output quality? bass ok or not?

bass not that strong... still lose out to walkman phones

The speaker is small, and I can't hear spoken voice-overs in games / videos properly using the speaker even when the volume is set to max. The only way to overcome this problem is to use a pair of earphone. Sound quality via earphone is acceptable for me.
*
it's games dependent, some games will produce very loud sounds when turning on to maximum volume, while some games is really too soft in sounds.

hi, i want to get a handheld console soon,still cant decide PSP or NDSL, but that not the point here

i never play/touch a psp before, i want to ask, do i need to pay to play multiplater game with psp?
or do i need anything extra to play multiplayer game.
i read a few thread and i found something about KAI and ad-hoc game, what is that?

sorry guys... noob here
*
if you are those judge graphics and sound quality over the rest, PSP has the superb handheld hardware, 333mhz CPU and 166mhz GPU all fit into your pocket thumbup.gif

it's FOC for online play, but only few titles offer the online internet play

KAI is to let you play with other players far away, via the internet, but using ad-hoc mode in the psp.

u ll have to be in a wifi hotspot area in order to play psp online

Hi guys,

I heard from a friend saying that the 8GB aren't so stable in the PSP. Is this true? I'm planning to get an 8GB card soon. Please advice.
Thanks.

as of now, not sure there's any firmware that supported 8 GB yet.

Hi ,
em, why so many ppl are getting to get Slim PSP?
slim good then phat one?
i'm owner of PSP1000 fat version with3.71 m33 firmware , compare with slim version nothing much then fat , just duble ram and video output even u know when 640x840 pixel appear at min 21 inci Tv , dammm worst image sampai xde mood playing game , For the ram ... i think now does't have any game that required higher ram, if game maker do so .. that make the phat going down and phat one jadi kazanah je .xkan ade ko

hmm i thnk for now on..... FAT one is ok already , maybe 2 , 3 year change to slim , and price go down also hehe

*
Slim do have better buttons, especially the analog stick, u wont know it unless u have your hands on it
Also the relocated speakers produce more better stereo, means it's easier to discern which sound is from left which is from right

PSone can..
maybe sum hacker can make ps2 games into PSP

1st of all, u need an 8 GB mspd
a PS2 DVD game would cost around 4 GB
and also PS2 game is much more complicated than PS1 games, don't think that PSP CPU can handle it

Thanks for the reply. biggrin.gif Okay, I will just charge the battery since I heard it takes approximately of an hour time to get it fully charged? Fat's battery on Slim? sweat.gif

Yeah, hope I can get it on my hands once my exam finish on 2nd. biggrin.gif
*
it's slightly more than an hour i think... but you ll see the power LED off when the batt has fully charged
to use fat's batt on Slim u ll need a special battery cover, not sure it's on retail yet now...

actually PSP Slim and fat...both also having the same standby/gaming time, my experience is it won't go more than 4 hours in intensive gaming, running at 333mhz @ mspd. The batt life is even shrinking if running UMD sweat.gif

I understand that point. biggrin.gif
As I am not a hardcore gamer for now, not sure after I own a PSP. tongue.gif
Any games suitable for females? blush.gif

However, guys if I may ask will 8GB MSPD make the psp lag? Or I should just stick with 4GB? hmm.gif
*
not sure whether the firmware support 8 GB yet, but because 8 GB would have to use FAT32 format, unlike 4 GB which still can use FAT16, thefore 8 GB will be slower.

games ah... PSP games mostly focussed on killing people one tongue.gif
apart from that left only musical, puzzle, racing, simulation...

actually for gals, NDS is more suitable...

Well, I love racing and simulation games. biggrin.gif Puzzle too. Hey, musical? This sounds interesting. biggrin.gif
Wow, thanks for the list. I will look into them when I got mine soon. biggrin.gif

I love GTA and NFS series. wink.gif

walao... girl loving GTA laugh.gif

btw since u like violent games, upcoming God of war chain of olympus is a great play, for RPG there will be Crisis Core... both games will released on march

musical games, the current hottest is patapon, english version will out in end of Feb

there is one game worth to try too... Killzone: Liberation, although it's short but it's fun to replay the same mission many times to unlock stuff, and it can be played online too

can the psp's 333mhz processor decodes the 720p media? if it is possible, i can use my ps2 to watch hddvd and bluray already.
*
i think not, its only supports up to main profile only... which is up to 480p @ 500kbps
heck even a 480p video with 700kbps video bitrate it also won't play... that's weak

Guys, I recently bought my new PSP Slim from japan. Its firmware is 3.72. How do i install 3.71m33 onto it? I understand that i need to downgrade to 1.5 first but i require a pandora battery. I also found out some forums where they say only fat psp batteries can be pandora-ed. And also i am not sure whether the pandora battery can be used as normal battery again.

The most crucial pain is that i have been told that the latest battery is pandora-proof. And, to make a pandora battery, i need to unsoldier certain pins of the chipboard which i do not wish to do unless necessary So, how do i overcome this problem. Please help. Thank you.

i dunno where ur location is
but if these stuff seems too complicated to u, and u re in kl, go for bernard moh or sce's shop
think they ll offer reasonable price for flashing firmware, avoid those sg wang shops lah...
