What do you want for the holidays?

Meh, the PSP is too complicated. And how would you actually get the emulators onto the thing? Is it like a mini PC? I thought it was only a mini Playstation (with shittier games), and it plays music and movies too. Why would you want the NES and SNES emulators on that anyway when you can play them on your pc instead?
Just my thoughts... and I'm usually wrong

[Hijuda]

The emulators and ROMs are saved onto a memory stick, I believe. Size shouldn't be a problem, as sticks go up to 1 GB. And I can't resist the temptation to have hundreds of classics at my fingertips, and on the go! and yes, I agree that the PSP has shitty games. The only good one is Metal Gear Acid. But oh well.

I want a new Graphics card, an xbox 360,xbox 360 games,xbox 360 tools ,xbox 360..... i hope papa claus reads my letter

What about v2.5? I saw it on the Sony website, added merely a week or two ago.

No use for homebrew at all, I'm afraid. The downgrader is completely locked out and is rumoured to brick your PSP if you use it on 2.5. If you want a PSP then get one as soon as possible to ensure you get a 2.0 model. From the looks of things it won't be long before Sony start shipping them with 2.5 firmware.

It's good if you help them to help themselfs. Give them tools and education to prosper. Thats what I think anyway.

I agree. The aid must be such that it allows those receiving it to become independent.

But what about what he was saying with the chickens and stuff? With those they are able to have a source of income...a pretty good step in the right direction if you ask me.

On a larger scale, I mean. It is good for whoever gets the money, of course, but helping one family won't stop world hunger, yes?

Of course one person can't stop world hunger. But if you are that one who is receiving help, then it means the world to you. When you look at things in that light, you can either get your XBOX 360 which will increase your well being only marginally, or you could change someone else's life.

psp sucks, theyre not durable at all. mine got run over by an abrams tank, and guess what, it didnt work afterwards. total junk.

but before that, the only good game was ridge racer.

No offence, but it's pretty much a given that things won't work after they've been run over with tanks.

Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX GPU
2gb of 240-pin DDR2 RAM (1gb x 2) with CAS latency under 4 and good timings.
Ninja Scythe CPU Heatsink
Subbeam transparant computer case

I'll end up buying these myself most likely, like the motherboard and CPU I already bought.

[ZeikHunter]

well, my zippo got run over at the same time, and it was just fine. but no, i just dont like the psp. all the sand out here scratches the hell out of the wmds or whatever, and you cant open the case to clean them

yea, i like to keep my WMDs free of sand. so did Saddam, but he had a little bit more of them than me.

i just have a few vials of VX and some depleted Uranium, nothing big...

Fair enough man. I'll also vouch for how carefully the thing has to be handled, gets dirty so damn easily.

No use for homebrew at all, I'm afraid. The downgrader is completely locked out and is rumoured to brick your PSP if you use it on 2.5. If you want a PSP then get one as soon as possible to ensure you get a 2.0 model. From the looks of things it won't be long before Sony start shipping them with 2.5 firmware.

If I do get it too late, is it possible to install the 2.0 software instead of the 2.5? Or does the PSP software come directly installed on the PSP as soon as I buy it? Or is the only way to install the initial software through UMD?

Basically the UMD just provides a further upgrade. For example, my PSP had 1.52 firmware pre-installed but the UMD included the 2.0 upgrade. I'm not entirely sure what version of firmware PSPs are shipping with outside of Europe but I'd presume it's at least 2.0 with the 2.01 upgrade on the UMD. Sadly though you won't be able to downgrade if you get a 2.01 or 2.5 PSP. Sony released these updates with the sole purpose of fixing the exploits in 2.0. There's currently no way to downgrade or run homebrew on 2.01 or 2.5 PSPs.

There's no 2.5 yet outside japan, methinks.

Le' gasp! If you can't run emulators on a PSP, then it's completely worthless! Well, last I saw on Sony's website, they were still shipping out with the 1.52 firmware pre-installed.

EDIT: The website says that as of Oct 13, they were still shipping out with 1.52 hardware. Well, if that fails, I think I can just get a used PSP.
