[Definitive] Sony PSP Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok, quick question to all the current PSP owners here;

Does your UMD door not sit flush with the back of the PSP?

I need to know if it's a widespread issue, or if it's just mine, as the door does close fully, but sticks up on a little on the side opposite of the battery compartment and it makes for a less than comfortable time during longer gaming sessions.

Mine sticks out too, but on the side closest to the D-pad. Hasn't affected anything and no dust gets in but I always fear one day it'll spring open and the UMD flys out :huh:

Alpha2004, don't know who that's intended for, but if you're talking about the EBGames PRP warranty, it's better to exchange it within the first 14 days so you don't use up the PRP (it can only be used once).

thats my point. chances are your screen will come with a dead pixel, so wait a few months, and get a new psp, with the issue possibly fixed.

Is there really any advantage for having the Sony one compared to the Scan Disk one?  Besides it saying Sony on it?

IIRC, the Sony ones have a higher transfer rate...but nothing you should notice on the PSP.

That would use up my PRP, this way I can just keep exchanging within the 14 day period for the new PSP until I get one with no/barely any issues.

Don't know if this has been mentioned, but DELL is selling Sony 1GB Memorysticks at $95.

for you U.S. people, with the new dell coupons today, you can get em for $80 total, but you have to buy 3pcs. luckily 2 of my coworkers have psps :)

not to be noob, but just making sure - how do u know whether u get dead pixels, and whats the bottomline on dead pixel policy

You should be able to see them if you knock the brightness down, they are usually only visible on dark backgrounds.

Dead pixel policy, 'most' stores will give you a new PSP if yours has dead pixels, it's always best to enquire wherever you are going to buy your PSP, as policies will no doubt change depending on where you acquire it.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
