Updated: PSP 1.5 firmware hacked! Games bootable off of memory sticks!

That list is kinda messed up, Dead to Rights is a new game, Hot Shots Golf is just a sequel, Zoo Keeper is a knockoff of Bejeweled, and Mr. Driller is not exactly new either.

And I think Spiderman 2 (PSP) is a port.

Dead to Rights - Unknown.
Hot Shots is a new game, as it is not a port of a game on PS1/PS2.
Zoo Keeper is a New game
Mr Driller is a new game

Sequals does not mean port/remix. Zoo Kepper being a knockoff? WTF? So all 2D and 3D platformers are knocksoffs of Mario then, right?

Spiderman 2 I THINK is a new game. Ive never played the console version so I cannot tell. Anyone?
 
ok I want to buy a new psp, but I also want to make sure that I get the 1.5 firmware us version so that I can play snes games on it. How do I make sure when I buy my psp that I have the right version of firmware and how do I play snes games on my psp???
 
NesHavok, there is no way to find out on the box. I would suggest buying one from a small retail store where they wouldn't get new shipments daily (Game Rush, Game Crazy, K-mart). If not, try and pick a system WAY in the base of the case, since they generally stack the newer ones in the front.
 
[quote name='THE DARK KNIGHT']Tiger Woods, THUG 2, GTA, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, SOCOM= no good games?

You need to get your head examined. Have you even realized all the things the PSP can do? It plays PSP games, runs emulators for NES/SNES/GENESIS/MAME and more, is an MP3 player for all my music, new movies are being released simultaneously on DVD and UMD, It holds digital pictures beautifully so I have tons of pics of my family and friends, and oh yeah......PORN! Home made biiiiatches!

If you truly bought one I hope you still have it and will explore it a little more than playing f@cking gameboy games. If not, I can easily find you 2 bills for it.[/QUOTE]


Wow i'm surprised you included tiger woods in that list. I'd rather play THUG 2 and Gran Turismo on console considering THUG 2 is bascially the same game and Gran Turismo sucks along with GTA anyways. SOCOM... First person shooter with one analog stick...alrighty then. Final fantasy...06 release, hope tiger woods keeps you busy until then. Sure psp can do alot, and i've already acknowledged the emulators part of it, which bascially means i paid 250 to buy a device that i can play games for other systems, as i sure can't find a psp game (excluding lumines) that grabs my attention for longer than one day.

As for being an mp3 player and storage for pictures... isn't that what my ipod photo is for? Its more portable than the psp too. 6inx3in(?) doesn't really fit the pocket too well. And porn... no response for that as im guessing you enjoy that kind of stuff at bustops or whatever... but it's your life so do what you want. Im willing to leave my porn on my computer.

All in all, psp fails as a gaming machine, and makes for an expensive portable movie player that even uses discs exclusive to the psp. At 20-30 dollars a movie... hardly not worth it considering its dvd conterpart sells for less and works on any dvd player. The 250 price tag doesn't help the psp out either, nor does the countless screen problems. It sold poorly at launch, and its still selling poorly. Sony has even cut down production. The psp is going down the tube, and is going to be discontinued in a year. The concept was good; handheld with console graphics, but sony executed poorly, and so the psp is doomed to fail.

BTW, take a trip back to the 90s, and revisit the fued between the gameboy and the gamegear. Gameboy was a primitive back and white gaming system, while the gamegear was all "hi-tech" with its console graphics (color graphics similar to snes and genesis). What it lacked was a good game base... and look where it is now.
 
[quote name='punqsux']spider-man 2 for the ds is a new game, not a port/remix of anything.[/QUOTE]

Wasn't it a port of a GBA game already released months prior? Ive never played either, so Id assume they just added a few touch-screen ideas to a GBA port.
 
hmmm i never played the gba game but its a 2.5d side scrolling beat em up, and the characters and enviroments are all polygonal. theres 15 stages, and 5 boss fights (mysterio, vulture, and ock 3 times)

anyone play both?

To me you are just proving my point. You can play good games on your console, no shit. The emulators are sick, mp3's and pics on an ipod, thats a whole other device to lug around, and porn on my psp is the best option as it's not going on my work computer and I'm not on my laptop at home very often. I guess this is just a good example of how it is a great device for some of us on the go a lot who can't play consoles as much as we would like and don't already have an mp3 player. I really think you are mistaken in that it will fail.
 
I love how every thread is molested into an arguement about which handheld console has more unique games.

Who cares?

I've dropped out of that conversation, and could care less to ever get in it again.... I would love for the nintendo DS to churn out N64 titles and the PSP to churn out PS1 and Dreamcast games.

End of story.

Me too. So far the game with the worst slowdown for me is Yoshi's Island. For everything else I get used to it.

Its not a hardware modification and its not providing roms. Nothing really illegal about it.
 
I just loaded the NES and TG16 EMUs on my PSP. I just can't believe how amazing the games look and play on the PSP. I have both a DS and PSP and love them both for the unique qualites they bring to mobile gaming, but thanks to emulation I think the PSP will be seeing a lot more use now. I only have the 32mb card now, but was still able to fit about 70 NES and about 10 TG16 games on the card....Splatterhouse on the go is great! Man, I need to get a bigger memory stick!

Stop, just fucking stop. I know what your thinking and it's wrong, this little fight of your's, it ended. If you have a point take it elsewhere, away where I don't have to see it. unless you have something to say about emu on PSP, don't bother posting. I'm looking for info on PSP emu, not some bullshit DS vs PSP shit coming from GF 'tards.

On-topic: Does anyone know if they posted a new version of SNES 9X? Or fixed the Genny emus? I'm getting abit tired of the slowdown and not being able to play gunstar heroes.
 
lol i never said the ds is a good system, in fact ive never even played any game on the ds other than my friend's warioware or whatever, which was interesting at first but soon got boring and definately felt more like a demo disc of some sort than a 30 dollar (?) game. the gameboy was a great system, and i dont really consider the ds part of the gameboy line

all im saying is that i was all hyped up for the psp at launch and fetched 300 to get it with a game, and wow did it dissapoint. ended up only playing lumines, which didnt even need a 250 dollar handheld to play. had to send my psp too sony twice because of screen problems at my own shipping cost. checked the upcoming games list and didnt find a single one i liked (other than midnight club but played that to death on console). used some early nes emulation, but then updated firmware before remembering about 1.51 not being able to use emulators... realized i screwed myself over

in the end, decided to sell the psp ... if it doesnt fail, i guess ill be the unlucky one for not waiting it out, if it does, then at least there wont be any more firmware updates which will give hackers the time they need to turn it into a nice portable nes, snes, gameboy, genesis, gamegear, n64, ps1, etc. emulator, at which point ill consider rebuying
 
if they get MAME, PS1 and other apps running and the PSP dropped to $200 and I could find a way to get it even cheaper, either through trade in deals or sales or just buying it cheap and used....I'd totally buy it just for emulation.

PS1 is doubtful but Mame should be possible eventually - that would be sweet. I'd be content with NES and SNES if they got everything working 100%...

NES seems to be working at 100% for me and TG16 seems to work at 100% at 333. How bad is the slowdown on the SNES and Genesis side? I am dying to get a bigger memory card, but if it's really bad I may hold off until the updates for SNES and Genesis.

The SNES emulator is still pretty slow. Some games run better than others. RPG games like FFIII and Chrono Trigger seem to suffer the least w/ the speed because you can set a few frame skips and x1.3 speed as well as 333 and they run about 85%-90% of the original speed. Action games (like DKC, and Super Metroid) suffer more because you'll notice the slower frames immediately. Not all games work for the emulator yet. StarFox tends to lock up randomly, Zombies Ate My Neighbors doesn't boot; those were the only 2 I tested so far.
 
[quote name='smalien1']Is there a way to do these on a mac?[/QUOTE]

Yup. I forget the name of it, but there is a program for OS 10.4 that splits the emu file.

I'm on a Mac but I don't have 10.4 yet (using 10.3). Check the forums over at pspupdates.com. There are emulator packs posted there like the Kexploit V3.0 pack that has every emulator already split into 2 separate files for you so you don't have to do it yourself. Just place the folders into your PSP memory card and you're all set.

ZAMN works for me, but I haven't tried starfox.
 
so yeah snes? haven't tried it yet. PCengine was fun but now i'm playing around with NeoGeoCD system emu. Full speed with sound effects metal slug 1+2 on my wittle 'ol 32mb card .. screw snes

I have one, but it won't do you much good if you want to run on the PSP. Every emulator I've tried has given me a garbled up screen.

Just incase anyone's wondering, a good running PSP emulator is almost done for the PC. So if you have some UMD ISOs for the PSP you can run them on your PC. Though I don't think we should support piracey... grrr...

Just got my PSP from that CAG deal for 150 bucks...connected it to my computer to transfer a few quick things and saw this update button so guess what I did...then i think oh yeah let me read up on how to put NES emu on this thing...now I'm very sad....

If by covered, you mean argued, then yes it has. But as it stands we have no proof that it does or does not harm your PSP. Some people (like me) Have had promblems with the PSP getting super hot and freezing playing certain games at 333 for extended periods of time. Others have claim to have had no problems so far.

If you play with almost any system for prolonged periods of time, you run the risk of it freezing. Have you ever felt another console after playing it for 5-10 hours?

Kayden's right. There has not been a single reported case of hardware damage to the PSP from clocking it at 333 MHZ, and hell, even the NES would lock up if played for a long period of time. One time, when I was a kid, I left it on all night paused because I was almost at the end of TMNT 2 and didn't want to start over. The next day, it was locked up.
 
By extended periods, I more or less meant 2-3 hrs. :razz:

Okay lets put it this way: there is absolutely no proof that playing for extended periods of time will do irreversible damage, however, setting it to 333 as opposed to 222 will run the risk of more frequent lockups and game freezing.
