[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm damned tempted to get a PSP now, but with all the dead pixel issues and the like it seems like one of those wait and see things, I mean there's no real way that a price drop wouldn't be on the horizon, just the same as newer revisions are obviously feasible.

Somehow I can't seem to justify dropping 300 to 400 bucks ( CDN ) on one of these just yet, though even when I do get one ( Just as certain I will as I am about the price drops and new revs :p ) it'll probably be used moreso for movies than gaming.

Anyways this is just me clearing out my head of PSP temptations. I think I can hold on another couple months with just my DS, Warioware Touched and Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits. ( Which is so damned fun BTW. )

are you looking as closely as possible?  on solid white/black backgrounds?  every single person i know has at least one of they tiny little speck thingy (still not exactly sure what they are).  i bet i could find one on yours :p

Yup, after all the bickering on NW i especially looked during black screens to see if there were any dead pixels, and there arent. Also, i havent noticed any bubbling or whatever u guys are talking about. The only problem i have is that a couple times after exiting and rejoining a game, the sound would go all staticy, but thats about it. After a quick exit and rejoin,

i picked one up yesterday at walmart and found 3 dead pixels and something stuck under the screen, exchanged it this morning and got a perfect one.

are 1gb memory cards in stock anywhere? ive been looking and they seem pretty impossible to find.

south park was great with kenny and the golden psp.

wtf would u need linux on it? lol

how about snes/gba emu

Did you just answere your own question?

I want Linux on it because I want to watch movies and listen to music that's streaming over the wireless link. That way I won't have to bother with a memory stick.

Lets say I scratch up my psp screen good. like I ran some sand paper over it. well can I buy a replacement faceplate? I dident scratch my psp yet. I have had it for one day and have been meticlous about derbis on the screen and it still has tiny(non noticible unless under the right angle) scratches. I am DEFINETLY getting a screen protecter asap. What would happen if I put cleer packing tape on my screen? That would probly be pretty cleer to see through and cheep.

Well... tape is sticky and might leave some residue. The screen protector that I got is like one of those things which "sucks" onto glass.

I just bought me Mercury.

It looks like great fun.

@alan ^

But i heard that they might give us the tilt-sensor, and if they DO make it, they'll sell it as an extra. *sighs*

I sent them an email, but no reply.

It's a UK company so I dont know why they dont make it available at least from their own site.

the psp sold in korea will have streaming video and audio via the wifi adapter, and in hardware it's the same unit, so i bet we'll get some form of it and/or some one will import the network disc that it comes with it and put it on a us psp

i'd say best buy or ebgames. and get their warranty.

one thing that ****es me off about tiger woods. here's my logical though: psp->portable unit->battery life is important!

why have a demo that kicks in after like 30-60 seconds??? this demo spins the disc up, which takes about 30 seconds, and then it starts, and if you want to cancel, that takes almost another 30 seconds.

why not just let it sit at the menu? it will save battery life and time!

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
