I love my DS and maybe some year when the PSP's hit the bargain bin I will buy one.  However, the only game I would want to play is Initial D and it is Japanese game.

So my question is, will Japanese games play on a North American PSP hardware?

They do with firmware 3.03OE-C

games are region-free.  only movies are region-specific on PSP.  even with official firmwares

and, initial D rocks!

just buy one that is able to be hacked... haha.. i think i saw some refurbished ones at a game store for like $160 o.O... haha

[sneef]

they are ALL able to be hacked, thanks to the latest downgrader.. even TA-086 Motherboards are downgradeable!

As of late any PSP can be upgraded to 3.03OE-C. Any PSP.

Why would we want to downgrade to 3.03? I have always thought that 1.50 was the best :O

Not anymore. Firmware 3.03OE-C is the latest custom firmware by DarkAleX and provides all of the benefits of using firmware 1.50 without the handicaps. Hombrew and ISOs run directly from the XMB without the need to run Devhook. Also all of the latest PSP features work including the web browser, PS1 emulation, game downloads, PS3 connectivity, etc. The very latest game UMDs also work. There is even a way to rip your own PS1 backups using Popstation. Custom firmware 3.03OE-C and beyond is the best solution and any PSP version can be upgraded. The PSP can be downgraded back to firmware 1.50 if needed, but I can't think of a reason why to do so.

I have just sent mine off to be chaned to the custome firmware, should be back today!!!

[sneef]

i hope you didn't pay much, because it's very easy to do yourself..

[fattybumbum]

I think I paid a fair price, I would have bricked it if I had done it myself!!! :lol:

Wow Wrong site for this but if PSP comes down to £99 may have to get one now (Not for PSP games of course)

Movies and homebrew all the way on this thing !

Sneef can you give me a clue where to read up more about how to change psp firmware - I've never read much about them before .....
