On a 3000, you simply need to run the ChickHEN software each time you use your PSP to run homebrew software, correct? No "magic memory stick" or Pandora battery required? As far as I can tell it's more like: 1: if your firmware version is below something like 5.5 then you can use ChickHEN (mine is latest so no go) 2: even if you do use ChickHEN it doesn't do :files:, it's really actually really for homebrew, where homebrew is not a codeword for :files:

So in order to run emulators or other custom software, the firmware has to be below 5.5 or the psp has to be used in conjunction with a "downgrader", then?

I doubt you can really use a 3000 for any custom thing worthwhile at all, and I don't know if downgraders work on the 3000. Edit: VVV ok. I looked into it a while back and I established that I can't use a downgrader on my firmware VVVV. redreader fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Feb 5, 2011 |

If your 3000 has below 5.03, you can run chickhen and then install a version of GEN-C for all your cfw needs. Plugin support is a little flaky, but otherwise it works fine. If you don't, you run TN's stuff and go from there. You will have to reinstall every time you turn your psp completely off, but otherwise you're fine.

No need for the reliability issues anymore. There's now a signed ChickHEN. If you're insane, there's also a downgrader for 3000s to set you back to 5.03.

I was outnumbered 2 to 1, could barely damage them, and there was a monster that could attack every water tile if you stopped in the water. The escort mission was brutal. You have to break people out of jail and escort them to the exit. The boss fixated on an old man and I could not taunt him off. It took every healing item I had to keep him alive until I could kill the boss. The job system itself was nice, though most missions made it so if you didn't have a certain class it would be impossible/very hard.

I finished that and saw escort and figured the mission after that would be another horrible godawful trope of gameplay and gave up.

I thought it was the best SRPG I ever played, though admittedly it was pretty hard at the beginning. There are a lot of classes and a lot of skills, and it was the first SRPG that I actually felt the combat system stayed interesting and challenging as the game went on, despite getting some really sweet combinations of skills. It definitely requires you to have certain classes in a lot of battles, but it usually makes it really clear which ones you needed ahead of time, and there is no penalty from switching to a new different if I recall correctly. Nor is there a penalty (besides your time) to restarting a mission.

Ever since the PC97 standard was set, holding the power button has almost always been the command to turn off electronics that have a sleep mode. They sure hosed that up, thinking that holding the power button to turn things off would be intuitive. It's 14 years later and still a hell of a lot of people haven't figured it out. edit: it's nothing against you qxan, I just think it was a spectacularly bad choice in human interface design, one of the worst in history.

Anyone else having PSP games piling up? I've got Knights in the Nightmare, Yggdra Union, Peacewalker, Shattered Memories, and Valkyria Chronicles II on my PSP Go, none of which I've even opened, and I'm going to be buying Tactics Ogre and The 3rd Birthday in the next couple of months. Not to mention the half-dozen PS1 RPGs I have loaded up. I think at this point I would give up my PS3 before I gave up my PSP. I hope the PSP2 has a lot of internal storage.

Yea I'm definitely feeling the backlog strain. I'm currently working on Prinny 2, and still have Yggdra Union and Knights in the Nightmare to play. I'll probably be picking up Hexyz Force, and I'd get a few more from this sale if it wasn't for the fact I have too many other living expense or gaming financial obligations this month.

The pile has grown to include Persona 1, Crimson Gem Saga, Final Fantasy IX, Hexyz Force and Riviera so far. (nevermind LBP/Ratchet & Clank/SOCOM that came with the system) Finances permitting I'll probably pick up Valkyria Chronicles II, Jeanne d'Arc, Phantasy Star Portable 2 and Ys Seven shortly with Tactics Ogre, Dissidia 012, Vagrant Story, Xenogears and Valkyria Chronicles III all coming relatively soon. On the upside, it's one hell of a way to kick the MMO habit.

I was going back and forth between Knights in the Nightmare and Radiant Mythology. I still have Crisis Core, Yggdra Union, Dissidia (gonna give this another try before the new one comes out), and No Heroes Allowed to dig into. Oh, and DJ Max Fever when I'm in the mood for a rhythm game. On the PS1 side I was playing Vagrant Story for awhile but I've entirely forgotten what I was doing in that. Alundra and Arc the Lad remain untouched on my hard drive and Castlevania Chronicles I've only made past level 3 so far. That all got somewhat sidetracked after I picked up Gladiator Begins and been plinking away at that all week. It's a fun game when the AI isn't pinballing between an arena wall and their sword. E: Almost forgot, there's also the Capcom Classics Collection games and KoF: Orochi Saga when I don't feel like making progress in anything else.

Unless you like really, really generic RPGS with terrible characters, I'd avoid Hexyz Force. While there's some innovation in the weapons and magic systems, the dungeon exploring is just terrible. It's pretty grindy.

^^At $15 even if it's bland that doesn't bug me too much, it gives me something to grind on mindlessly while I'm out. Okay, I take back thinking Prinny 2 is easier. Never EVER EVER play Sakura as the 6th stage. With how some of the platforming is set up and how the game handles making enemies harder as you get further in the game, it is frustratingly improbable. I used up only 70 lives on the first 5 stages and then on this stage alone so far I've used around 100, and I'm still not to the boss yet. The first Prinny had some points that were challenging but solvable, but this stage, gently caress it.

SixOhSix posted:Prinny 2 I'm glad I had someone warn me before I started the game, since he was going through them roughly in order left to right. So I went right to left, starting with Sakura. I lost the most lives between the two final bosses, even on easy mode. You need a crazy level of button mashing skill to beat the last boss, my arms hurt for a few days after I finished the game. Plus since normal mode compared to the first Prinny's normal mode has taking one less hit...I dropped down to easy on stage three, I think, and I didn't regret it. Zyklon B Zombie posted:Anyone else having PSP games piling up? Luckily I've only have four to finish (Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters which I've had since I got the drat thing, Hexyz Force, Yggdra Union, and Sakura Taisen 2) but I've also got Trails in the Sky preordered and a ton more on my wishlist.

I have so many long-rear end games still to play on PSP. It may not be the most successful system ever but if you like JRPGs of an at least middling quality  Sure wish Media Go would let me buy Valkyria Chronicles 2 without throwing up an error message every single time! Gosh Sony you're doing a really good job of encouraging me to find other ways to get these games. Well done! e: and it's specifically that game. I've bought other games since without any issue.

So I just bought a PSP-1000 with Prometheus 5.5 installed on it from a Goon and had a few general questions about the thing. All I bought was the PSP-1000 itself. What else should I look at getting? I was browsing online and was surprised at the volume of PSP accessories that existed. Particularly I'm looking for a good charger and memory sticks, but is there anything else I need? I see in the OP it recommends the MicroSD Adapter, but are there any particularly good MicroSD brands out there that people found to be cheap + reliable? Likewise, my PS3 controller cable seems to work for USB Mode and data transfer, so I guess I'm set in that regard?

I can't comment on chargers, but I have a sandisk microSD card in my phone and it works great. I've been meaning to update the OP as there are MicroSD-> MS Pro duo adapters that are cheaper on dealextreme. The PS3 controller cable is just a standard USB cable, so it works fine. As for other accessories, I don't think you really need anything else. I had a case for my 3000, but I really didn't like it, and it would be hard to find them for a 1000 now, too.

For my 1000, I had that Logitech Playgear plexiglass case at first, but it was humongous. I later got this leather/metal flap that just covered the screen and hung off the back when actually playing. It was good enough to protect the screen in my bag and considerably smaller. edit: They don't sell mine anymore, but they've got great deals on better stuff for the 1000 model: http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=429&t_mode=cat

I am really dumb as bricks when it comes to this sort of thing, so please ignore me if this is stupid. I'm trying to set up my laptop (XP) to be a wireless access point for my PSP. Is this even possible, or am I fundamentally misunderstanding everything about how wireless and computers even work? My house internet is not wireless, so I'm connected with an ethernet cable and hope I can use the internal wireless as an access point, if that's even something that exists and is possible. I poked around Google for awhile but didn't seem to get anywhere. I was able to create a wireless point (or so I thought), but it just says "not connected" and the PSP doesn't seem to see it when scanning. Entering it manually doesn't help either. Should I just spring for a USB wireless adapter or something? Sorry I am very dumb and if someone can point me in the right direction at all you are a saint.

What's a good protective case for a PSP? I had one of those sock things made out of wetsuit material which came with the PSP and had the Monster Hunter Freedom Unite logo on it but that's worn off after being in my pocket for so long and it's a bit annoying putting the PSP in and taking it out of the case. What I'm looking for is either a case which is easy to put the PSP in and take it out or a case where I can still use the PSP while it's in it.

So P3P looks really intriguing, but as someone who rarely plays RPGs (and hasn't played any other game in the series), would this be something I could get into? I know some RPGs aren't particularly user-friendly with people who aren't big fans of the genre, and I'm not sure if this is one of those.

Aww yeah, Gladiator Begins is going a lot more smoothly now that I don't suck at parrying. Managed to kill off some royal lady's husband in combat and got access to her secret wares.  The special fights that took place while trying to get her on your side were fun if frustrating at times. Now that's over it's back to the more mundane events, but hopefully it'll start getting fun stuff again after my rank goes up some more.
