[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

I have a question because I lost my manual, why does my Sony DUO Pro 512 MB card show up in the PSP as a 480 MB card, is that because it needs 32 mb for system memory or something?

The formatted space is smaller than the space shown on the box - tricky bstrds

That may have something to do with it.

I picked up a 256 card to goof off with until my 1GB arrives, IF it ever does!

Can somebody tell me what the slide located here (see pic) does?

I only got a Jap manual and it's not much use.

Thanks.

It turns off WiFi (when you aren't using it and want to save battery life). Except I usually forget which direction is on/off (but the system will tell if it's off when you try to connect to the internet).

K, got my psp today! Yay.

But the plug is not the same as what we use in UK, so am i ok using a powercord from like my ps2 into the adapter? The plug given says 124V on it, with 6A.

Would this just fry it or what?

*Edit* On the adapter it says input 100-240V's, well Uk runs at 240V so thats ok right?

Just don't wanna fcuk it up first day.

Lol.

Thanks.

The adaptor works in 100-240 ok, so just chop of the USA plug and wire on a UK one :) Job done :)

Got mine today. has about 6 or so messed up pixels. Should i return it? or is so common that the replacement may even have more?

Now, the usb feature, i enabled it while connected to my pc, is there any software out there that can make use of this feature? Pc recognizes it as removable drive, i can save files onto it, but i can't get anything as far pictures to show. Should there be a specifically named dir/folder for these files, cause only folder/s showing is PSP/SAVEDATA .

You have to format the MS Duo card in the PSP. Once you do that, it creates PHOTO and MUSIC directories in the PSP folder.

As for the dead pixels, you could probably get a return/different model for it. I'm not sure whether it's through Sony or the retailer however.

Formatting did the trick, Thanks!

As for the exchange, EB will exchange it without a prob, I asked before time.

Someone else already addressed the folder question...

Where did you get your PSP? For what it is worth, I have -zero- pixel problems. I got mine at Circuit City and was told I could return it if I had any pixel issues.

Yeah you sure they are dead pixels because it could be dust trapped on the screen causing specks which may look like dead pixels when they are not

So has anyone else tried out the Gameboy emulator yet?

It only works on a Japanese psp with the original firmware, but I was surprised at how fast it was. No sound yet of course, and a little graphical corruption, but very impressive for an initial release.

This isn't a fake. :)

(I need a better tripod, this one couldn't hold my camera completely still)

Seems pointless though, I doubt you going to enjoy playing any game on such a small screen ratio.

I'm wondering if I should grab one of these now, or maybe wait a few months to see if any of the common complaints I've read about are addressed? Dead pixels, lack of stock on 1GB cards, stuff like that.

    • 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
