Can you buy JUST the PSP from Ebgames or Game Stop retail locations without being forced into buying it bundled with games? I think when it first came they would only sell it to you bundled with games but can you now buy just the PSP harddrive without games?

Yeah, the value pack (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/241869.asp), that's what I got, the bundles just have the psp and games which would cost the same only without tax if you bought them seperately. The value pack does include the sampler UMD disc which is sort of nice to see how the psp handles the discs that it'll use when/if you buy a game or two.

I found this interesting (http://www.pspupdates.com/) about a third of the way down (sorry if I'm a little off, they keep on updating the site) there's a download for some psp backgrounds/icons to put on your computer, you just need to have winzip, winrar (my favorite), etc. to open it and then you right-click and push set as background. (better instructions are on the website) Now your computer background can look like your PSP's! :)

Any way to turn your PSP into a portable TV yet?

586269909[/snapback]

Well the rumors (and picture) are here: http://addict3d.org/index.php?page=viewart...pe=news&ID=7745 But I don't think anything official has come out yet.

With the new version of firmware coming out I heard something about downloading tv shows for a small fee from certain websites would be possible with the browser included in the update, I'd wait and here from anyone that has a psp tv tuner and how it turned out for them, then buy one.

You might want to look at one of my favorite site: www.epinions.com and see if people have any opinions on it so far.

Although I don't plan on buying one if they do come out with one. I have the tv tuner for the gamegear and it barely gets any channel, especially while your moving.

Right now if you have a Tivo I'd record the tv shows and put them on your computer, then usb it to your psp.

Hey I have a real urgent question. I downloaded the psp update 2.0 from here: http://www.pspupdates.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8927 and it's the japenese one. However my U.S. system recognizes it. They also say on the thread where I downloaded it that it should be in english because of the system settings on the U.S. psp. However I don't want to install it and have it all be in japenese and I can't change it back even when the U.S. version comes out. Phew

Bottom Line: Should I install it or wait?

You don't like homebrew?

I'm not saying that, I can already do most of the homebrewed stuff on my computer and I'm satisfied. I got version 1.51 with the psp and then upgraded to 1.52 when I noticed that the best thing that they had online was quake and doom for 1.50. I just didn't want to wait and I really want that browser.

I did and everything works just fine. The update won't change anything to Japanese.

586281695[/snapback]

That's good to hear, but will the U.S. update have more features than the japanese one? Has it been true for the japanese firmware 1.51-2??

Is it translated perfectly? Have you checked every menu?

There's noway to downgrade it to 1.52, I just want to make sure.

Use the arrows to highlight the address bar and hit circle and this will open text entry.

For capitals on the text entry select the lower a/A left button.

I opened the address bar, but circle closes the menu on mine. I'm not referring to like text entry at google. I mean I'm trying to put in something like: www.Article1/something.com. In the address bar text entry it doesn't include the a/A button

I'm even writing this post with my psp web browser!!!!!! Thank you all for your help and criticism. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
