IMO too many spoilers within a spoiler tag. If possible avoid using spoilers.

Well, IMO, it'll be very messy if I did not put those spoilers.

Messy -> Bad readability -> Won't read

agreed.
with the spoilers,whoever wants to read the particular section,need not wad through the other text unnecessarily smile.gif

they can just jump to the appropriate section in the FAQ biggrin.gif

the last thing you want is someone asking "what is firmware?" when it is the third question on the list. and the reason for not seeing or reading it,is they were lost in all the jumbled text sweat.gif

which would lead to the same question being asked again,and again,and again.... sleep.gif

Exactly what I was thinking. thumbup.gif

ok ,.my question is when i using my browser to go in the net...
it says "THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MEMORY "...
How would this happen...
...
*
OK, the main problem with this is the PSP's built-in uses the DRAM for caching pages. The DRAM is only 4MB in size, so loading pages with lots of animations/pictures would really be a pain in the ass.

According to here, switching off the caching function would improve the situation.

QUOTE
Suggestions on the web have included enabling, maxing out, and disabling the system cache, but we have still not found a clear solution for memory limit errors (in our tests, turning the cache off has helped in loading intense pages, so you may want to give this a try if you are experiencing troubles.)

I'm sorry if i'm asking a noob question.. I am new to this forum and i tried to search for topic regarding mod chip but i can't find any..

1. Is the mod chip available in market Undiluted Platinum Mod chip?
2. Will they provide you with any installation disc or etc after your get your psp modded?
3. Any thread about mod chip here?

Many thanks in advance!

Q: Is the mod chip available in market Undiluted Platinum Mod chip?
A: Yep, it's available.

Q: Will they provide you with any installation disc or etc after your get your psp modded?
A: I'm not sure about that, but there are installation diagrams here.

Q: Any thread about mod chip here?
A: Nope, modchips are generally not popular here as it involves hardware modifications (e.g. soldering). Moreover, we have custom firmwares now and it serves as well as having a modchip.

By the way, there's no such thing as "n00b" questions in this thread. This thread is for beginners.

this thread's purpose is for n00bs too ask any questions they want.
if any "pro" flames you in this thread,just report him for improper conduct.

as much as alot of people here know alot on PSP,we still dont know EVERYTHING.
so in a way,we're all still n00bs tongue.gif

save for Dark_Alex and his mates laugh.gif

Erm, more on firmware. Any suggestions on what I should add to those I've mentioned?

Homebrew compatibility issues? Do you mean which firmware can run which homebrews?

Maybe you need to tell them the difference between Sony's FW & custom fw.
Let them know the reason why sony wants us to upgrade.

I've answered the two questions by editing one question. Check out So, which is better: V1.50, V3.10 or V3.10 OE? under Homebrew Questions.

So far, I haven't heard of problems on the 2GB MSPD. Not sure about the 4GB MSPD.

Anyone in here used a 4GB MSPD yet? Mind to throw in some info?
