Guys, how to watch youtube video on psp? Running my PSP with CFW 4.01m33. Thanks.

VHunter,you cannot do so using your psp's internet browser.However,SofiyaCat,a psp developer has made it possible to watch YouTube videos on the psp by developing an application called PSPTUBE.

Forgot to ask you guys. What are the must-haves for PSP? Theres so many packages selling and I find some things unnecessary.

Heres a sample package :
1 x Sony PSP Slim & Lite console(Black) - Firmware 4.01m33(Modded)
1 x Battery Pack (1200mAh) *100% original
1 x AC Adapter (100-240V) *100% original
1 x Box & Printed Material
1 x Polycarbonate Case
1 x USB Car Charger
1 x Retractable Charging Cable & Data Cable
1 x UMD Disc and MS Pro Duo Card Case
1 x Neck Strap
1 x Wrist Strap
1 x Cleaning Cloth
1 x Screen Protector
1 x 4 Analog Stick Silicon Gloves
1 x Earphone
1 x Games
1 x PSP Slim Soft Pouch
1 x Sony Hand Strap
1 x Sony Pro Duo Memory Stick 4GB for PSP

From what I see, most important is Battery, AC Adaptor, and Memory Card.
What other things I need? Is the 2 in 1 cable important? I think I'll need it to transfer downloaded files from my comp right?

Again, is the above package enough for me to : Surf Online using WFi, watch movies and videos, and play PS1 Games, and MP3?

Xalvin,it all depends on you.If you think you're a careless sort of a person,you should get the hand strap to prevent your psp from falling down and so on.It's all up to you.

Yes,that unit will satisfy all your needs.No need to worry

congratz lulz.

hehehe,thanks

i dun think this few things is a must in the package... so u can just cut it off the package

1 x USB Car Charger
1 x Retractable Charging Cable & Data Cable
1 x UMD Disc and MS Pro Duo Card Case(only if u have multiple memory card)
1 x Neck Strap
1 x Wrist Strap
1 x 4 Analog Stick Silicon Gloves

hmm there's 2 straps.. what is it?

sony hand strap & wrist strap? same thing?

@Xalvin

why u dont wat those unnecessary thing?
is that about the price? hmm.. all those thing my be needed someday..
at that time u need to buy it too.. if the price not too big just accept it..

hey guys i'm new here.. had a read about bernard and nelson who retails psp consoles. sounds like they're the most reliable... correct?

i should be gettin a console next month when i'm back in KL. which cfw should i get with the console?

thanks guys... everyone's posts have helped me learn a lot about PSP

I want to know too.

I've heard there are many issues on the 5.00m33 not working with PS1 games and other homebrews.
And I don't think I have the balls to try to update the version myself since I don't wanna brick it.

on the contrary, there's this handy little thing called popsloader developed by m33 for psx games support. it can use the .prx files from old firmwares to run psx games (yes you can choose). u can actually choose which version of firmware (starting from 1.5 to 4.01) module to use for the psx games, example : 3.71 may have better support for crash bandicoot, etc.

here's mine.

as u can see i only have the modules starting from 3.00, dint bother getting the older ones because newer firmwares already has some pretty good psx support. i just like to keep them around, just in case

it doesnt really matter which firmware if you're using popsloader for it.

all the homebrew apps i've tried so far are fine. even playboy's trick brick.

and yes i'm using 5.00 m33-3 currently. i'm quite happy with it

but if there's no need to update, don't do it.

Where you get that price?I want to buy also..hehe..

the V3.90 M33-3 is stable than the latter version?

It's not the question of which firmware is much more stable and so on.It's how YOU feel about it.3.71M33 --> 5.00M33 are all decent firmwares. If you tend to play a lot of commercial games,then go ahead and upgrade to 5.00M33 in order to keep up with the updates to play newer releases. If you're a homebrew lover,then just leave it as it is. It's up to you really.
