    So i bought a psp...

    can somebody recommend the easiest way to run psp games off the memory card...? and maybe suggest a good firmware. it currently has 1.52

    i dont really expect it to get very much use since im really busy but it will come in handy while on the train.. and i suspect i will be mostly using it to watch anime i ordered a 4gb sony pro duo card for it and probalby will get another not sure yet.

    Ask Lucifus. His PSP runs custom firmware and he tried to get me to crack mine.

    I could spill it out for ya, but it would be better to find out and learn for yourself.
    Here's a good site:

    http://www.psp-hacks.com/

    It has all the info you need, but you'll have to become a member of the forums to use the search function...

    I'd recommend downgrading to 1.5 firmware and then upgrading to a stable custom firmware.

    Snap, Killa beat me to it. Go to that site and check out the tutorials. Thats the best way to go about it.

    How much did you pay for your mem card? I had to pay $120+ for mine. Yours is probably cheap as hell now.

    I got my PSP modifield by my local game store, and I subsequently "upgraded" it myself to the next version through downloading new firm ware, so that I can play the newer games. I can play PS1 isos too, but most of the time I'm just using it to play Sudoku or Gundam Seed.

    if youre on 1.52 you need to upgrade it to 2.00, then downgrade it to 1.5, after that you need to upgrade to a custom firmware (i recomend 3.52 m33, it`s the one i have) once youre in custom firmware create a folder called ISO in the root of your mem card, your games go there, then on the psp go to GAME > MEMORY STICK and you should see the game there

    EDIT: if you need help add me to msn, UChessmaster@Hotmail.Com :P

    I game all night... or I just troll the forums 'till 5 on it.

    The only functioning game I have is the Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops UMD, which is good for passing the time, especially with a wireless internet connection ^^

    Yeah, I could have told you that 2, that when you buy a new psp it probably has the latest firmware on it wich makes the thing impossible to downgrade... Although it will be only a matter of time before they find a way. But you said you have 2 PSP's? What firmware has the other one?

    Today i went to sell a 1gb pro duo card i had bought for my psp, the 4gb one i have is enough for now. So i meet up with this guy (yes, i listed it on craigslist) and we start talking and he offers to downgrade my psp and put on custom firmware instead of paying $15 i was asking for the card that i paid $11 for on ebay.

    So... WOOT! i now have custom fw on my psp i haven't had a chance to research different progs available for it yet... i have some media player but it fails to open up my fairly large 175mb avi files.... about to try more testing in a bit i'm happy though...naruto ultimate ninja is pretty sweet ^^
