I would want to get an emulator to play on the psp, but I don't want to brick my psp...

What do you mean? Would it screw up my PSP if I got one?

The risk of bricking while running homebrew is there, just be careful and read the installation guide properly. Most of the time installation just involving copy and paste to the correct folder, but well people like to skip reading the readme duh. I have like 10 homebrews in my psp. Just makesure your firmware support homebrew, like custom firmware M33.

Ah alright, thanks!

Also, I heard in the Japanese PSP you can't play movies, but in the US one you can. Is that true? And can you only play US games in the US made one, and does the Japanese one play all?

Official movies in UMD format are region protected (just like DVD's). So you can't play a Japanese UMD movie on a US PSP (we're talking about official firmwares here. You can change that from the menu of most custom firmwares).
But of course, you can play MP4 ripped movies copied on the memory card on any PSP, whatever it's a US, Japanese or European one.

Games are NOT region protected. You can play any game in any PSP.

Sorry to double-post, but what format should videos be to play in my PSP?

MP4

note: this refers to MP4 files as required by the player in the VSH

* Video Limitation Resolution: 320 x 240 (QVGA), Nonstandard resolutions can be used but are still limited to the 76,800 pixel resolution of QVGA. Codec: MPEG-4 SP (Simple Profile), which has different headers than the more common MPEG-4 formats.
* Audio Limitation Codec: AAC Sampling Rate: 24000hz Bitrate Limitation: 1-768kb/s & 1500kb/s. Any combination of video and audio bitrate that is equal to or less than 768kb/s is acceptable (i.e. 640kb/s video + 128kb/s audio = 768kb/s total, or 300kb/s video + 32kb/s audio = 332kb/s total). The PSP also supports a bitrate of 1500kb/s, but no bitrates inbetween 768kb/s and 1500kb/s.

Cut and paste from somewhere. And this is the tool that I use to transcode avi vids to mp4

I am posting this with my PSP!

How many of you use your PSP internet?

Sev · « **Reply #70 on:** May 15, 2008, 10:27:51 AM »

I've browsed the web a few times with my PSP, but i prefer my laptop so...

Mainly I go online with it to download demos or whatnot.

shadowstar · « **Reply #71 on:** May 19, 2008, 03:22:20 PM »

I use it sometimes, but typing takes forever, that's the only 'downside' to it.

The internet radio is major though

cool_kickin_dude · « **Reply #72 on:** May 21, 2008, 12:07:01 AM »

I listen to the internet radio as well..it's awesome!

wonder if that 3GP converter does all videos?

JTRIX · « **Reply #73 on:** May 21, 2008, 09:00:31 AM »

question --> for the internet radio, are the 3 provided on the net are they only 3 radios?

cool_kickin_dude · « **Reply #74 on:** May 21, 2008, 12:38:16 PM »

I think so..but I think the three are actually skins for the radio and they all have the same stations I believe

herachan · « **Reply #75 on:** May 24, 2008, 05:01:27 AM »

thank you so much for letting us know about the 3gp converter! it works very good!

^ no problem ^_^

About the radio, you also can get a homebrew radio player, freeradio which can play most of the shoutcast radio or any other compatible stream from internet.

Features:

* Shoutcast playback
* Streaming MP3/AAC playback
* Podcast browsing/playback
* Remote playlist streaming
* Web browsing
* Links to both official Sony radio players
* Customizable lists of Shoutcast stations, podcasts, and raw audio streams

Just install and insert your favourite stream into the configuration. I listen to jphip radio sometime using it.

It take forever to load a page with psp

ziggurat · « **Reply #78 on:** September 13, 2008, 05:35:26 PM »

Yeah, if you want to do a serious browsing, use a pc instead.

Oh, my mission here today just one. Guys, go play Disgaea. seriously
