Lately I’ve been receiving numerous emails with people asking “how do I install the SNES emulator?” or “how do I downgrade my firmware to 1.0?”
To the rescue! Anubislg, from our forums, has written a very in-depth starter/newbie guide for the PSP - covering everything you need to know about the PSP firmware and homebrew applications/games.
PSP Homebrew Installation Guide - includes screenshots!
Update: These tutorials are now also available in our PSP Hacks section or go straight there via these links:

The latest version of PSPE (”PSP Emulator”) for Windows is available in our downloads section or just click here. There are a few minor changes - fonts and mainly a few bug fixes. Here is a screen shot.
Note: PSPE is for testing homebrew applications during the development process - it does not run any retail PSP games on your PC - this means NO Paradox/Dynarox releases.
SNES9X has been updated to version 0.02 and is available to download from our downloads section or you can just click here. This version is supposed to be faster, some background bugs were fixed, better compatibility and runs much better on PSPE (The PSP emulator for Windows).
After digging through many game-related sites, I noticed at gamefaqs.com there’s been some leaks of what appears to be screenshots of Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories running on a PSP. And best of all, some of the screenshots seem to reveal there will be multiplayer action for GTA on the PSP!
Below are the screenshots - you decide whether or not they’re real:
Update: According to the news over at ps2nfo.com - it’s all legit AND the loader will work on all PSP firmware versions - 1.0, 1.50 and 1.51.
“…and the game “loader” will likely be in the form of a BiOS replacement which will work with ALL version PSP units… v1.00, v1.50, v1.51 so don’t worry there guys.”
This is astonishing news, so let’s all sit tight and be patient until more news regarding this topic surfaces.
Update: This just written in Dynarox’s latest nfo, “In a way to admit it , Soon all games will work on V1.0, V1.5. We Need to make some more test. Till then be patient.”
No mention of 1.51.

I was a bit shocked when I first read this, but according to release group, Dynarox, they’re stating in their nfo’s, “In a really near future , a loader will be released to make games work via the memory card.” In which case, I hope is true.
Current games released by Dynarox:
Stay tuned!
sYx66 has brought it to our attention; a brilliant way to utilize the PSP’s image viewing capabilities with Google Maps! I’ve taken a screenshot of Toronto and now I can easily zoom in/out on my PSP finding nearby locations!
We posted on this subject last month, “Derby Time” PSP Browser, and decided that since its been confirmed now we’ll post an update.
From the ps2dev.org forums, Vampire has discovered a new user agent string in Derby Time, thus allowing you to access the browser in a similar fashion as Wipeout Pure. The browser itself does not differ in any way; it will provide the same surfing experience as the Wipeout browser. Now you’re not only restricted to purchasing Wipeout in order to take advantage of the “hidden” browser.
Lik-Sang.com is hosting the biggest and best quality gallery of Sony Playstation Portable pictures we have yet to see. They photographed everything from the box it comes in, down to the silicon its made of. Here are a few sample shots:

DVD Station is apparently going to be offering customers the ability to download films onto their personal media players - including the Sony Playstation Portable! Currently they offer a huge variety of movies for rent or purchase. Users will be able to simply attach their PSP directly to the kiosks or insert their memory stick, with a sufficient amount of space, for an instant transfer.
Currently there are only 14 DVD Station kiosk locations, including one at the Metreon Entertainment Center in San Francisco and New York’s Grand Central Station.
Personally I think this is a great idea and I hope they make their way up to Canada.
