Everyone knows the DS isn't in the same league as the PSP graphically. So you are an ass. :rolleyes:

[sundayx Veteran]

i thought they were. i mean, theyre being released at the same time and they are competing. -_____-" whattt. so nintendo is trying to win purely with the duel and touch screen? okkk. but take a look at nintendog. the graphics potential is there.

Actually DS was aimed at the older croud but we all know how thats going to turn out with Nintendo :p

It's been a busy day for PSP hackers, as a great deal of progress has been made in deciphering the groups of servers the handheld uses as it connects to the outside world. Among the discoveries posted on one random Geocities site that will probably be down by the time you click on it: an "update image" (about 14.5mb zipped) found on a site named dj02.psp.update.playstation.org.

This update image, as it turns out, is a PSP executable and boots up as a "game" if you transfer it over the PSP via memory stick. This update has a full install procedure and everything, although the EULA attached makes mention of the PS2 hard drive and the update itself crashes the PSP's internal software. Most interesting, though, are the new features this update promises in the install program:

Voice text reading

SonicStage music/news transfer (SonicStage being an iTunes-type program from Sony)

Calculator

Voice chat

Three PSP internal games

PSP mail software

PSP word processor/spreadsheet software

PSP web browser

PSP scheduling software

Bugfixes

The update file is off the playstation.org site now, but mirrors are available here and there.

The "word processor/spreadsheet" bit sounds like a bit of placeholder humor to me, so I imagine this is probably a test file of some sort. Still, it's important to have something to dream about, isn't it?

Nice

also i found some info on the cpu specs etc.. The host CPU block will also contain a security sub-block designed to protect data and help prevent hacking the PSP, its games, or the stored data.

[Amnesia]

i dont know if Dazzlas review mentioned this (or if its a known fact) (since I may have overlooked it during my excitement) BUT that little round disc underneath the Directional Pad is an analogue stick! I thought it was the speaker! Turns out there are two grooves on each side of the PSP (total 4) for the speakers.

I found that out by mistake.

First I thought the console was damaged because it was raised. WHen I checked all 4 units I bought they were all the same so I thought it was fine.

Then while playing ridge racers I swivled it and saw that I was able to control the car smoothly.

Thats great! TWO ways of controlling! (pardon the enthusiasm)

note: the above installation is obviously in Japanese, but will it work if my settings are in English. Has anyone confirmed that it actually DOES install? I mean it could be he just made fake pics and then just displayed them on the PSP.

[sundayx Veteran]

known fact sorry.

edit: and reviews claimed that the analogue stick position is not optimally placed. can cause fatigue to the thumb if used too long? well there is certain uncomfort.

Well...I:m sure it wouldn't matter if the stuff is in english of j since there seems to be native support in the system software itself for both, the big question is that statement that it crashes teh psp's internal software....I'd like to know more about what that means (i.e. crashes because it's overwritten, psp still reboots back up....)

also, thats a lot of software for such a short time, considering the psp doesn't run on a known os...although I could be wrong...

methinks the software over writes the firmware to a non usable state :wacko:

9 hour marathon on Ridge says otherwise :p

[Amnesia]

i've been using the stick for a while now. Doesnt annoy me at all.

I'm just worried of getting dirt in the grooves.
