ok guys, im about to buy psp. psp slim and lite version. anything for me to look out? i mean wat i need to see before buy? memory? can guide me through? is 4gb and 8gb memory give huge different and what is that for?

sorry for sounds totally stupid as i am completely lost about psp

Well first of all the firm ware lor... if you want to run homebrew you'll need custom firmware. The latest is 4.05m33 i think.
8G of course better then 4G as you can store more stuff in your psp etc mp3, videos and games(if support homebrew).
I read about the newer batch of motherboards, the TA-088 is not pandora able...
so make sure you are running on the firmware you want. Don't ask me how to check as i do not know.
I read it from here, so read on to find out more...

ps: Pandora is used to change firmware usually from higher to lower. So if your psp is not pandora able you might not be able to run custom firmware.

the latest custom firmware is 4.01 M33-2. i juz install it but i dun c any diff with 3.90 M33-3.. any1 knows the diff?

Hi folks,

Any recommendations for a PSP Slim cover? A good one but not that bulky...

can anyone help me resolve my remote play witj ps3 problem..seems its unique case..

v3.90 m33, m33-2, m33-3 .... which version can play PS1 games? I did read about a lot of forums, and this version v3.90 is the most recommended 1

All also can. You just have to add in popsloader.

Not too sure about this. Probably you could Google it up.

i asked another psp owner this morning and he also said the read speed for the M2 is slower. anyone here can confirm?

m2 read speed is 10mb/s .. what are you comparing m2 with ? microsd ? or Mspd ?

hmm, got that fast meh o_O...Btw how did he noe the read speed of M2 cards r slow? how did he actually test it? sandisk m2 cards r much faster if not mistaken..

can play PS1 game on PSP?how eh?

p/s:just bought my PSP yesterday

the san disk website did put some speed information

8GB MSPD reads at 15MB/s while the 8GB M2 reads at 10MB/s.

8gb mspd? which 1? if Mark 2 8gb is possible..it's not possible with normal 8gb or non high speed =/ + those 2 u showed..there is another high speed model if i not mistaken..

v4.01 m33-2 can play iso games? wonder v4.01 m33-2 or v3.90 m33-3 better

Lacus no worries.. when can we meet again?

i'm running 4.01 m33-2 and iso games work fine.

so 4.01 m33-2 is definitely a better choice than 3.90 m33-3, i went to some shops asked ... the firmware they provided is 4.01 m33-2

Want to ask. How play iso videos? I've place the iso movie in the iso\video folder and mount the iso in the vsh also nothing happens.

But really need a UMD in the PSP to play? Or can play with a UMD?

Read some other sites till blur d. Managed to learn how to go to recovery mode.
