Finally! A decent PSP game! Atleast this one isn't a rehash or console port like 90% of the games released. Sigh. Ive had the same 6-8 games since the system launched, and NOTHING except for Death Jr. excited me this year.

GTA looks excellent, but man I'm really getting burned out on GTA. After San Andreas I don't know if I want a PSP version. Death Jr to me is the game to get, but I have no doubt GTA will fly off the shelves. Expect huge Xmas sales of PSPs with that title on the market.

Namco Musuem looks great too as they are adding 10 additional games for the US release (I was considering buying an import from Frys...but I can wait)

bahgee

Any idea what the 10 games are?

Just a heads up for those of you who are still running v1.5, there will be information released this Friday to run programs (emulators mostly) on v1.5 PSPs. Note, if you have already upgraded to 1.51 or 1.52, it will not work.

Being the dumbass I am, I upgraded my 1.0 to 1.5 and can't go back. Hopefully this will work so all won't be lost.

Is there any program that will convert Quicktime files to mp4?

Gizmo

Actually, its tomorrow (apparently)

The hack requires you to switch out memory sticks. This means that you need two memory sticks (this also means you finally have a use for that tiny stick you got with the Value Pack ). Basically, the hack is run on Memory Stick A, it will start loading and then stop. At this point, put in Memory Stick B with the app and games, and it will start loading again. And yes, it does work on v1.5, so everyone can now run homebrew programs on their PSP.

As soon as I get home, I'm dling the NES emulator, and possibly the NeoGeo.

ChrisHicks

this is cool news. please let us know when you get it up and running and if it was easy to do.

works fine, too bad the only worthwile stuff is NES...I want some GBA and SNES Also kind of a pain to swap cards as fast as possible while it's loading

ChrisHicks

who has the best instructions on exactly to do this?

joshd2012

MOD NOTE: You know better than to post links like that. -namja

DJ_Longfellow

Wow, pretty neat.....so, any good deal IN-STORE on memory cards lately?

namja

joshd2012 and others:

Please do not provide info/links to emulations. That's a big no-no. You guys should all know better than that. joshd2012, this is an official warning for you.

Emulation discussion is not allowed here either.

But we're allowed to have weekly "MAME" competitions where somebody actually publicly hosts illegal ROM sets for many to download?

Interesting.

Josh H

I guess MAME is somewhat different as those are arcade games which are pretty much dead.

One could argue the SNES/NES are dead as well, but I guess you have to factor in that Nintendo keeps porting them to their portables, and even moreso in the future with the pay downloads on the Revolution.

Or then again maybe no mod has noticed that the MAME threads involve hosting downloads rather than just scores being posted.

joshd2012

Of course, its very easy to forget how there are fan created games for these emulators. That combined with what was mentioned above shows something odd is going on with these forums. Care to explain yourself namja?

It's fun to pirate MAME, I don't feel as guilty because so many people are doing it. But i'm not going to ask the companies if its legal to download and play their games for free, that's just silly .

joshd2012

You asked... they give:

Now you can play homebrew PSP programs without swapping memory sticks. Simply create two folders on the same memory card the way they direct and it works perfectly. MAME, NES, SNES, NeoGeo, and TurboGraphix all on your PSP with plenty of other applications. Enjoy.

And just to appease the mods: I am talking about homebrew MAME, NES, SNES, NeoGeo, and TurboGraphix games which are made by fans with no copyright issues.

Any release date yet on the Namco musem?

DRG

Have you (or anyone else here) actually tried these to see if they work?

ChrisHicks

I'm doing the non swap method right now. its pretty easy to setup as well. the only thing I have running is NES though.
