+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted August 27, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just got a PSP (fatty) and I have to say I wildly underestimated this handheld for way too long! It runs Custom firmware v5.50 GEN-D, and so I have bought a few pre-owned games (wipeout pulse, LBP) and stuck them on the memory card, also got SNES and Genesis emulators. Wondering what else to run on it? I wanna get MAME on there, but srugling to find a decent emulator. Also, for some reason, it will not connect to my wireless - it keeps erroring out (and yes I do know my password, etc). Finally, seeing as its a custom firmware, what CAN'T I do? Updates, remote play, store? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Not sure about your connecting to the Internet problem but as for the Store, I'm not sure if you can still access it by using the plug-in PSNLover. I tried it but it didn't work for me, though I think I did it completely wrong. There's loads of things you can run on it, if you go here there's a few homebrew things you can have a lookie at.

+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted August 27, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yeah, it won't join my wireless - WPA PSK all fine, my iphone and all other devices join just fine! But it CAN see it when it scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with the custom firmware I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKush Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yeah, it won't join my wireless - WPA PSK all fine, my iphone and all other devices join just fine! But it CAN see it when it scans. I had that issue also, but this was.. a long time ago. I'm afraid I can't give you any help other than I'm fairly sure it was to do with an incompatible security standard. Only WPA and not WPA2 or visa versa.. something like that. Trial and error is your best bet there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted August 27, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'll try later. Could do with a network tidy up anyhow! Any decent sites for nice animated themes? Also, is there a better media player? The stock video rendered doesn't play **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPyro Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 WPA on channel 11 and you should be fine. As for games, download Sony's media go on PC and buy games through there, transferring from PC to PSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 27, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted August 27, 2010 i believe there's a version of opera for the unlocked psp as well as some other apps like skype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted August 28, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted August 28, 2010 Well, I dropped my security down to standard WPA last night, and still no joy. Will try WEP and none later, but that's not really a meaningful solution. Bit narked it can't join my network :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Congrats on your purchase. The PSP, hardware wise, is GREATLY underrated. It's an amazing yet under supported gaming device. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
