Well, I should have put a disclaimer. I am expecting a hardware mod to be released by or shortly thereafter the 3.0 firmware is released and shipped as is on new PSP's.
Just out of curiosity what homebrew apps would you most miss if you were "forced" to update. Right now I am holding out on homebrew, as I am running 2.5

couldnt live without that... so nice to be able to choose between 3-5 games while in school instead of carrying around UMD discs
just wish i had likea 4GB mem stick so i could have like 8 games on it!

I could live without it, but the PSP Universal Remote application is always fun to play around with at school

guess you won't be buying my ghetto mount.
A few companies have "put" one out there.. but they aren't universal.. and most still look like ass.
----------------
I'll upgrade one of my PSP's to 3.0 to see what it's like. Probably keep at least one for homebrew. NOt that I bother running any anymore.

I have no need for GPS, and i dont want to email people "on the go", i'll just ring them.
I realy want a 4GB stick, but i'll wait till Sandisk release one, and its cheap(er).
Post by: HSDEMONZ on February 27, 2006, 04:21:00 PM
I'll have to live with 2gb sticks.
Post by: M3_DeL on February 27, 2006, 05:08:00 PM
I think I am just gonna upgrade for the hell of it. Homebrew just doesn't do it for me, or am I just missing that one app that will give me stains in my pants? What apps am I not seeing that are teh coolorz? nothing that Sony already has or will have???

you mean you would give up running psp ISO's from a memory stick for some new sony upgrades? come on.. what can they offer you that fast loading multiple games at once cant?
lets not forget SNES emu, Genesis Emu, partial GBA emu... doesnt the list go on?
Post by: M3_DeL on February 27, 2006, 11:38:00 PM
As far as ISO's go, I am taking a new approach to the PSP (remember this is just my opinion, obviously not shared by many here due to the nature of "where" we are). With the Xbox I had so many games that I only ended up playing maybe a quarter of what I had. I got bored with games faster, had less motivation to finish games, so on and so forth. I noticed the games I bought I spent way more time playing, enjoyed them more and got more out of them. I plan to keep the minimalistic approach with the PSP. Although the idea of having every game at the touch of a button is cool, I know it won't be as satisfying. Homebrew roms excluded of course. I will use the memory card for video and photos, I really do like the idea of GPS (if implemented right) as long as they put out a decent dash mount with it. I like their browser, and would like to find/start a ring of PSP "Friendly" web sites. It is not like sony is implementing crap for features, they need a good keyboard (wireless or not) for the browser and it will be great for browsing while on the shitter or in bed. Now as far as hardware mods for this, I would definately be interested in trying this out. I liked having different dashes for the Xbox and would like to see what creative minds could come up for this device. Sorry for the drawn out thought....
meh

loading time comparable to xbox from disc to HDD is nowhere near comparable time on psp UMD to MS....
some UMDs take forever to load, im seriously hooked on a couple racing games for psp, namely burnout and ridge racer... and there is seriously no loading time from memory stick... and really all i care about on psp is video and games...
ripped a dvd and converted to mpeg 4, a 1hr37m dvd ripped from 4.36GB to 605MB was pretty decent quality

Is that about the average ratio of rip's? I just got my 2gb so I am getting ready to start ripping DVD's like crazy.
I follow you with the load times and everything, but the temptaion to have TOO many games would be there for me, it is hard to explain. Load times aren't too big an issue with me, my ADD isn't too severe

basically:
use Eazy VCD to convert the dvd straight from dvd drive to mpeg ==> use psp video 9 to convert the mpeg to mpeg-4 and to put it onto your psp !

I'll never upgrade my ceramic white 1.5 until Sony gives me a reason.
What sort of reason would make you want to upgrade? Features? games??

I'll stick to the games available for 1.5 for now, and i dont find those new features that great, if i want to read my email ill do it on my pc
Ok maybe your english isn't that great (for all I know). But I was asking you what features would make you want to change. I understand you don't like the current features. what features would you like to see, or what games?

Me no goody english! Nah man I misread your post, I cant think of anything right now, the homebrew apps pretty much cover everything.
What do you guys want to see in newer versions of psp firmware?
Post by: M3_DeL on March 01, 2006, 09:13:00 AM
Well besides playing backups and emulators (Due to obvious legal issues) what homebrew do you use all the time people? And like blag was asking what would you like to see?
Post by: blagmaster on March 01, 2006, 02:02:00 PM
) What I would like to see is a homebrew for 1.5 which allows you to play all kinds of video formats(like XBMC does for Xbox).

I wish they would just enable that in the regular firmware..
If they do, they'll do it in the form of another firmware update = no homebrew, no games off memorystick(legal backups ofcourse as i would never ever eveer download games
)
