psp charging

Unless you have a slim with custom firmware installed, you will not be able to charge via USB and do anything else (games, movies, surf, etc).

Oh really? I know you can buy special usb adapters that have an additional power plug on them, but I was under the impression that you had to enable usb mode to charge.

Same here I have to enter usb mode in order to charge, which effectively renders my PSP useless while it's charging.

Orange light is on where the green power light usually is.
 
thanks for the replies. I was worried that it was a stupid question and that everyone was going to say they both take the same amount of time. :)
 
I checked and my PSP Slim DOES charge via usb even while watching videos or playing games. It is a 3rd party usb cable with the power cable connected to it.
