hey, everybody, i just hacked my brand new PSP

the only thing that sucks though is that i had to hardmod my battery since i dont know anyone with a psp

oh well though, now i can go to walmart and turn off their tv's and change the channel and stuff

Wow....I hate hacking. I do use action replay DS and I use it only for rare things in Animal Crossing, and the occasional Master Ball trick in Pokemon, but that can serriously ruin your system.

I have only once played a friends PSP and was not impressed. The graphics are good for a portable consoel, but would rather play my Game Boy Color:P. My portable consoel of choice is DS. The only two consoels I play are Wii and DS. I do not think I would buy a Psp. How is it?

So you turned your $160 PSP into a $10 television remote just to go to walmart and do something that no one will think is funny and no one will care about. Your parents must be so proud.

Just to clarify, what else can you do with it? Anything? If not, I'm inclined to agree with Woogie here.

well, i can make it emulate an N64 console, Xbox, PS1, GBA, GBC, or Sega (any console).
i can also use it as a phone though my IP
there are many things you can do with a modded PSP.
i can even use it as a wireless 360/wii/ps3 controller

EDIT: my parents dont even know i bought myself a psp.

Well, that sounds much better to me. Cool.

When it stops working/blows up/gets discovered by the police/Sony, you will regret doing that to it. All you've managed to do is make a terrible console slightly less terrible by breaking half a dozen laws (even more if you actually do use it to emulate other consoles). Congrats.

doesnt matter if they find out though. as long as i own legal copies of the game, it doesnt matter wtf i do with my own devices.
i know it voids the warranty, but who cares?
and there are programs to unbrick it even if i brick it

i only use it when i am unable to be at my computer and 360, so i like it
i dont have a phone either, so it makes me happy that i can txt people with it, and access the internet from anywhere.

Definition of a backhanded compliment. Why even bother?

Terrible? Do you have research to back that up or is that opinion?

The PSP isn't plain terrible. It has the best graphics for a handheld and some cool media options: movies, music, etc. Save terrible for the Gizmondo. Of course I enjoy the DS more as it's just easier and faster to pick up and play. Much better for a quick game during breaks.

Not much into hacking but good for you dude.

ahh yeah, the DS is quite nice.
it does have quite a few good games, and the back compatability with GBA games also helps.
the only thing i dont like about it is the damn little pencil for the touch screen that you get with it always seems to disappear i think my little brother has spent more money on those than games hahaha

I think what everyone here is forgetting, is that people who think Psps suck and prefer ds are gay.
Hands down Psp wins everyday, I mean comeon... It can even play ds games, not well I admit but still.
And you never have to pay for games, hack it and get a 4g mem stick.

I modded my psp the old fashioned way a while back. You can do a lot with them such as run ISO versions of games, run AVI format movies (if you have a big enough memory stick), run all sorts of emu's as mentioned above, use in-game prx's that allow you to use cheats in game (to some, that sounds gay, and to others, it sounds great...to each his own), and all sorts of other stuff.

If you have any questions regarding mods for your newly downgraded and hacked psp, hit me up. I have been around the psp scene for awhile, and I am an administrator on one of the more poplular psp sites, although, I admit I don't play the psp very much myself. Good luck with your new toy.

what kind of crap argument is that ?
thats a defintion of drooling zealous cant rub two braincells together fanboy talk
i thought we had stamped that crap out ages ago
so by your defintion i am gay because i like the ds over the psp
you cant even be botherd to back your weak argument up with some facts other then fanboy prattle
no wonder i stay the hell away from video game forums to get away from crap like this

fanboys lol

hacking the psp is really simple, all you need is a pandora battery and a memory card thats it, the original psp mah 1800 battery or any third party battery will do. Its quite amazing how many games you could put on a 8gb memory card. anyway nice to see modders out there hacking the psp.

I have tuns of umd's just laying around taking up space.

its fun to mod the psp
and convert it into a all in one gadget
its like the TES of console
easy to mod

but

crap
because im a future programmer
it will hurt if i see my bloody programs illegaly downloaded
by pricks like Lainge

so I hope karma wont stab my back
