Ok now as far as memory cards go. I see the SanDisk 1gb pro duos going for $100 on ebay. Is that the best deal going?

I wonder how long it will be before PSP games start requiring you to upgrade your firmware to work. I'm betting the firmware upgrades will start getting built into games to try and stop the hacks that are going on. Considering that the PSP sales are sluggish Sony would be better off leaving things alone though.

I tried the NES and Genesis EMU last night....NES ran great. The genesis one ran ok at 333MHZ, but I was afraid to overclock the PSP and fry it. IT did not seem that stable either.
What EMU games do people recommend? NES or otherwise....
Also, Coded Arms is SUPPOSED to make you update your firmware when it ships.

Have you seen sales numbers posted? The only ones I say were from the launch.

Its definitely a 333MHz processor which is currently underclocked to preserve battery power. I also suspect that Sony will introduce a new battery and remove the limiter right before Nintendo releases the successor to GBA.

Blazing Lasers (awesome vertical shooter)
Neutopia 1 & 2 (clones of Zelda)
Alien Crush & Devils Crush (pinball)
Splatterhouse is kind of fun

I don't know why people have such a hard time taking what Nintendo says seriously.

Because Nintendo probably didn't expect the DS to sell as well as it has. Now they have no need to rush out another portable as the DS is more than holding it's own against the PSP (due mainly to each focusing on very different markets).

This image is from the import version of Coded Arms... I guess it's possible they took the firmware update out of the US version.

It's kind of odd....what if you have NO WAY to update your firmware? I don't have a USB cable for PSP-PC. I just copy everything to my memory stick via a MS reader.
If they make the common user HAVE to go out and buy a USB cable or a wireless router, then Sony better give me some money back.
