"New PSP owner question and answer thread"

I've had one for a while, if you want to know something, I might be able to help :).

You need this software (Sonic Stage 3.2) to transfer atrac3plus files to your PSP. I'm using 64kpps and it sounds amazing. I have 157 files on my PSP taking up 289Mb. Bullet had 83 files on his taking up 480+Mb. Atrac3plus is definately the way to go.

And this (PSP Video 9) to convert and transfer videos, it even supports the AVC codec added by firmware 2.0 (which your new European PSP already has on it):

And this to rip DVDs

You need to change the settings to create a single VOB file for PSP instead of 1Gb chunks, then convert it with PSP Video 9.

Tabbed browsing:

While in the browser and viewing a web page, hold square and push R or L to move to a new tab. You will see a band of red, blue and yellow at the top of the screen, these show which tab you are currently on.

To open a link in a new tab, hold cross on the link instead of just pressing.

While holding square and you can use the analogue stick like a mouse.

I'm a bit out of loop with the release tomorrow.

Any big names like Gran turismo or something similar being released tomorrow?

I've got Lumines and Wipeout.

To be honest, nothing else out yet tickles my fancy, except maybe Ape Academy if it's a game actually designed for a handheld. Mercury looks decent enough too, but that's another puzzle game.

Namco will be releasing Tales of Eternia (from the same series as Tales Of Symphonia), which I quite fancy.

Then there's GTA, which I'll be getting when it comes out.

I'm avoiding the MGS game like the plague.

Unfortunately i just bought the ones that got the best reviews at US launch, so now I'm stuck.

I have to say I like the look of the one where you can jump from car to car, and the turnbased MGS game looked fun to me too but apparently it's crap.

Hooray, the only 3 people on here tonight.

Bonus, what games have ye got and what would you recommend apart from Hot Shots Golf, Lumines and Wipeout?

I clean it when I can see the screen becoming duller due to the dust.

Probably more often than necessary though.

I wish my PC was faster, it takes so long to convert these files.

Meh "PSP scum".

Oh and hello by the way. ;)

I've seen people who go really over the top and use wax and crap like that.

I only clean it when I feel guilty with all of the smudges or when someone else impurifies it with their filfthy hands but that's just me being obsessive compulsive.

I don't need to wipe mine all that much.

I use laptop anti-static screen wipes on it though.

And the PSP scares me with it's need of constant wiping.

I'd turn into a wet lettuce if it ever got scratched.
