You can convert your own PS1 games into a PSP-readable format, and it's a fairly straightforward process. I use it a lot, the PSP is a great way to catch up on my PS1 games (and being able to put them to sleep whenever I like is a godsend). Yeah, I thought there was a way to do this without hacking it. Isn't it called an eboot? |

I have one from the Daxter bundle. How hack friendly is that? Should be near 100 percent hackable; that's the one I've got (and my brother has). |

Sweet Christ...the ability to play the translated ROM of Innocent Sin on a PSP? Be still, my beating heart! Hmm. I have a ton of PS1 games already, though. If I were to mod my PSP, would I have to track down ROMs for all the bastards? Or is there some way to convert legit releases into something the PSP can use? You'll need popstation (probably want the GUI interface too) in order to convert iso's to eboot format (which is basically a bootable psp program). And yes, you can do this either with an already-ripped iso, or with your own games. It takes some work and a lot of reading up on the subject though. As an answer to Ike, you're still going to have to hack it. Honestly though, as someone said before on this forum, it's one of the easiest "hacks" like, ever and thankfully requires no mod chips, slide cards, or other annoying shit. |

I'm tempted to take you up on the battery sending offer.
Does it matter if I've kept my firmware fully updated? I recently updated it when I downloaded the Dissidia demo.
(My PSP's been 100% legit since I bought it)

I don't know how more modern PSP firmwares handle updating, but I've got an original 1000-series PSP that's hacked up - and while some PSX-to-PSP conversions have issues (Tales of Phantasia with the translation patch, Front Mission 3, and Parasite Eve suffered random hangups), P2:IS has no such things. Stable as hell.

I don't know about other flavours of CFW, but on mine they've essentially taken over the official network update button on the normal PSP menu - clicking it will check for and download the latest CFW, rather than the official Sony patch.

What one do you use, and what're the advantages?
Or or they all basically the same?
Think I'm gonna get a bigga mem duo for my psp and get this kind of thang on.

I must have been tired when I wrote that; I'm actually using the absolutely latest CFW at the moment thanks to that function - what I meant was that I have no idea what the current method for installing said custom firmware is. (I did it in 2005 with the second GTA exploit, circa Firmware 2.71) |

You don't have to make your own eboots for PSX games, I download them from good torrent sources and save myself the work.

As an aside, I went and bought Persona for PSP, only to find out it won't work on my modded psp2000. Caveat emptor; there isn't an update to the firmware that works with the new 5.55 firmware-reliant games, and supposedly the post-5.00 m33 cfw is crap. Ugh.

I heard about this as well. Kind of makes me glad mine is still legit.

I hope the pirate community can figure out how to fix the game, then, because like hell am I going to buy a game that requires me to sacrifice 95% of what I do on my PSP. (No more listening to SID chiptunes while taking a walk?! CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.) |
