3 questions about the psp....

[wolfo03]

im buying a psp pretty much just for crisis core, and im getting a used one from gamestop. so my questions were: whats the difference between a slim and the original psp's (besides the obvious), how much space does a game save generally take (im getting a 1 gig memory stick and plan on getting emulators), and is there any way to mod the internal memory of the psp. any answers would be awesome.

well i have both psp slim an fat i like using the fat better for homebrew cause it has the 1.50 kernal.the games saves range from 250 kb to 1000 kb i dont know what you mean by internal memory

*FuFa - No talk about ISOs here.

i was checking out the specs on the sony website and i thought it said that it had a 32 mb memory on the psp itself, without the memory card. good to know thanks

i think internal memory is meant to represent ram. slim loads some games fast coz it caches more data in ram. also i find slim has a better screen, brighter and clearer and its easier to use button combos.

hmm... i see. well damn i wish i was getting me a slim then! lol. which is easier to mod?

That all depends on what MOD you want to do. I prefer the Slim for moding because there is a boat load of space inside for mods... As far as memory, The Slim has 64 Meg of Ram but that’s used only for the Firmware and Cache. All games that you play will save your Save Game Data on the memory stick not the internal Ram.
   However as it was noted before if you plan on running Homebrew the Phat is a better choice because it supports a true 1.5 kernel, but a lot of applications are being coded for the 3.X Kernel now especially the emulators.

Of course this is only my opinion.

I don't know if this is obvious, but the slim has TV-out. The buttons on the slim are raised more (makes it easier to play on), it SUPPOSEDLY loads games faster (there isn't that much difference from my expierience). If you're going for homebrew, a phat is probably a bit better. If you have the money you might want to get a slim, but it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

Most of the emulators are small, its just the roms themselves that take up space. With a gig, you should be more than fine, unless your'e thinking of...

 wasnt going to mod anything too crazy, just have a gold faceplate, a chrome red back, and ultraviolet leds in the shoulder buttons: ironman. what is homebrew? and now im trading a complete for a 4 gig stick lol. my friend said it would be better with a 4 gig cause then ... what did I say about illegal stuff? Do you guys even read the rules? - *FuFa

yes the psp do have internal memory but that is used to store flash files which are needed to run the psp, about the most you can do with this memory is add new fonts/themes/gameboots. The diference between slim and phat is slim has double cpu and ram speed of the phat... but quite clearly the phat is fat meaning more space for mods. plus slim has no IR speakers are at the top of the unit everything internaly is slightly smaller and compressed and the UMD door now manualy opens and there is TV out.

btw downloading games is illigal only use iso if you are making backups of games you legaly own.

[wolfo03]

homebrew games are just games people have made for other hacked psps. There is a crapload of it out there, but a lot of it is crap. Emulators are homebrew.

oh ok thanks!
