ISO file is image file for optical disc and the disc we are refering to is UMD.

CSO is the compressed version of ISO aka Compressed ISO, it doesnt really compress by 20%. It depends, some ISO can be compressed more than 50% while some less than 10%. It depends on what type of game and what is the content of the ISO.

Of course CSO still works, however if the game involves too much of 3D graphics and high framerate like NFS Carbon, Ridge Racer, the gaming experience will be different, loading slower wont kill, jerking will kill the FUN of the game. Starting from FW 3.80 and above, there is a change of MS reading in Firmware causing some slow down in loading and slow down in CSO reading where it jerks like Ridge Racer, Prince of Persia etc. Thats why DA released 3.71 fatmsmod.

But the best is still umcompress it to ISO.

so far i've not experienced any jerking... but then again i don't have ridge racer, only been playing juiced 2

im a newbie that want to buy a PSP
any recommendation and the price for it?
recommended to get a used PSP?

I recommend to u wait for awhile,do not buy now.

Its is because SONY gonna release new bundle set worth of your pocket.

The new bundle PSP 300k comes with 2 (unknown but great) games with price around $199 (RM 800+ maybe)

If you dont want to wait u can get Ratchet & Clank bundle because they offering FREE God Of War games!

yeah...better wait...
i just end up buying a ps3 first...
will buy psp after the price going down...

is it good to get psp 3000?

where ? more info please ..
is it from sonly style malaysia ?

now i also confuse whether wanna buy or not...
im not to say very rich..
planned to get second hand version... as long as it can play any games then im okay with it

now the mod-able PSP 2000 prices has been jacked up like hell, they are now selling from RM900 till RM10xx also got. PSP3000 is a tad cheaper but it's unmoddable at the moment,

if you are the usual malaysian gamers which is "budget oriented" type, I suggest go get a used PSP 2000 which is moddable, u can get one at around rm6xx

Okey,last time Sony want to release bundle set PSP 300k plus with Rachet & Clank + 4gb memory stick but canceled at last minute due to interlancing problem.

Now,Sony urge want to sell their product by giving up FREE God Of War games with same price of old bundle

sifus,

i have a problem with loading the games onto the the memory stick even though the games are is cso. & iso format. The funny thing is that the games that were loaded into the memory stick by my dealer, when i copy into my laptop and try to load in into the same memory, it just can't play. I'm confident i save in at the correct ISO folder in the memory stick but still it doesn't work. i've even reformat the memory card and try to load, still same problem but when taken it to the shop to load, its working fine. What's missing here?

btw, my software version is 3.71 M33-2. i don't think it the card reader that the cause of the problem. Pls help or adv????????

Many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
