No if it's not compatable and you cant find games then it isnt lol. Buy a d-link DWL-122 it deffinately works

ok i got a quick question bout the psp, since ive given up probability of getting an ipod mini:

1. psp is usb2 right? how long does it take to fill a 1gb memory stick duo through the psp's duo to the computer by usb2? (exact or estimate from a 512 duo you have)

sub questions:

2. what are the transfer rates of different versions of the duo, i mean theres the sandisk one, sony one, the pro, high speed? omg theres too much out there.

Yes it's USB2, it transfers at 480mbps work it out yourself :o

i just thought of another questions (extra post just incase some of you aint bothered to read the other post)  ;)

how do you carry your psp around? i mean, it doesnt fit comfortably in your pocket right.

You put it in your bag.

here is what i have on mine, the first one is visable when the screen is off, and was there right out of the box. the second one looks like a dead pixel? there's about ten of those on my screen. but these were taken with a macro lens, and they are very tiny. any input/advice would be great.

OMG that is exactly what is all over my screen in about 8 different random areas and they all have 3 dots lined up and spaced apart similarly like that. There is something screwed up at production that is scratching these screens cuz nothing we do would make a scratch or dots like that.

This is so BS.:crazy: I just found 2 dead pixel on my PSP (only visible on black screens).

I hope my warranty at EBGames cover this.... ;)

BTW, how do I get game sharing to work?

A friend of mine just got the PSP but when I went to game sharing it doesn't connect. Ad-Hoc is set on the same channel, also tried on Automatic. Is there something else I should do?

BroChaos, if you can see it when its off its not a dead pixel, maybe dust under the screen.

What you should do is use those images i posted to test the dead pixels and post back using those images

i was using premade black/white/r/g/b images. the dead(?) pixels in the 2nd image show up best on the white screen, but they are always visable when it's on.

Gamesharing is not available on any of the launch titles

In the 2nd pic those do look like 2 dead pixels.

I want to bring a few things to everbdys attention here..

1. If your PSP had a dead pixel(s) in a few months or a year would you all go and return it? I would hope so since SOME of you think its TOTTALY unnaceptable to ever have one. I can understand at launch and out of the box, but i think some of you need to wait and acutally play some games before you return it.

2. We are all stuck on this dead pixel topic but havent considerd any of the other launch problems.

Did anybdy notice the L button sticking?

Anyone else having this problem..it seems to be coming from the UMD bay...what should I do?

OMG..dude..i jst opened up the UMD bay and shook it to see if anything was wrong.. a friggin dead roach fell out.. Im calling sony RIGHT NOW!!

Obviously the roach came from sony's factory or the PSP box...I don;t have roaches in my house.

Im just worried now cause I threw out the box...No way in hell im keeping that around here. this whole thing is disgusting..i dont even want a new psp..i want my money back.

i already said..the roach is gone..I flushed it. Why would I keep a friggin roach on my desk???

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
