There are also a few great dedicated rom hacking boards (which I don't know If I can link to, even though they don't share rom files). Googling around will give an easy response.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=966521 Yeah, I've been hopelessly addicted to this stupid game (Class of Heroes) for way too long now. I could be playing better games, like finally forcing myself to grind some in Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time because that game is amazing and the best game I've played on PSP, but no, it's always Class of Heroes... heh.
Dunno. The only time I've seen them, they needed an UMD rip to PC and running a patching program to modify them. I -think- I've heard of some using LivePatch CFW plugin, but never saw one so I can't be sure if they exist.

I know that there's one for Project DIVA Extend, but I don't know if any other PSP games use it so far. I'd be nice to be able to play all fan translations using just UMDs or official downloads from the PlayStation Store.

I picked up psp and some games recently.
I really like the color of that Hannah Montana PSP.
You should, the series is excellent on the PSP.

Oh man, I was digging around my desk at work (of all places) and found that I had my old PSP Go stashed in a box! I had wondered where it went to.
The amazing thing? it's been years and I turned it on and it still had 3/4 of a battery! It seems I paused Burnout Legends when I last played it and picked up where I guess I left off.
I need to go check my PSN downloads now to see what other old gems I can load onto it. It's been so long since I've touched a PSP, excited to revisit my old friend now.

wow, that battery doesn't play.
My PSP-1000 has a way worse battery than that. Won't hold a charge at all...

How is Guilty Gear Accent Core on the PSP? Is it a fairly faithful port, and is it the best of the two Guilty Gears on the system?
I'm getting a Vita, and fancy playing a GG game on it, but because I have a UK account and GGXXACPR didn't come out over here, I'm stuck with the choice of the two PSP titles.

Not a hassle at all. Just change the system language to your preferred one.
Well, circle / X swap is weird especially if you play imports on it, as the swap isn't universal.

Okay cool, just like my vita then, now to hunt down some good games that aren't digital

Yeah, Accent Core Plus is the PSP port you want. The version of Reload in GG Judgement is pretty stripped down. AC+ PSP's sprites are a little more pixelated as a result of being scaled down to the PSP's resolution (like the Blazblue PSP ports, if you've ever played them) but other than that, it's a great port.

So, I started using my PSP more often again. I got Project DIVA 2nd on Sunday:
It's a lot of fun. I cleared all of the song on Normal, and now I'm playing through Hard.
...but my PSP seems to keep thinking that my UMD drive is open, so I get the Home button exit prompt thing randomly in the middle of a song. Sometimes multiple times in a row. It keeps messing me up. It also takes a while for the PSP to start reading the UMD again, so I'm stuck staring at a pause screen a lot. It happened to me just now like four times in a row, and took me like 3 minutes to get back into the game and finish the song, and I messed up a bit thanks to that. Sigh...

I just found my PsP under my bed the other day, so happy. The 1 game I ever had for it: Tekken.

Nope. 2nd is my first game...not counting several PSP and PS3 demos, that is.
I plan to get Extend soon, though...but first, I want to try and make my PSP not keep pausing because of the UMD drive. :/

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Man, I still keep forgetting how much nicer the PSP-3000 is to use than the 1000. I'm playing Brandish on it now and it's really a nice system. It's kind of weird that every time I pick the thing up, I'm expecting to deal with the PSP-1000's godawful d-pad, but instead am greeted by an actually quite good one.
BTW: Brandish is awesome.

It was absolutely horrible.
I loved the PS2 games, loved the anime, could not fucking stand .hack//Link. It seems like it's gonna be good, at first, and honestly I did somewhat enjoy it for like 3 hours...but then it just infuriated me with how awful it got.
Basically, every single battle -- even ones with enemies that don't have a chance in the world of killing you -- requires you to beat the shit of enemies in the same, step-by-step, exact boring way. "But that sounds like all games!" --No, slow the fuck down, I'm not done.
You have to break their armor to even damage them at all, like 95% of the time, and then have to spend even more time volleying them through the air (which might be fun if you didn't have to do it in EVERY battle), concluding with an unskippable cutscene of 30-60 seconds. Like that movie? GREAT! Enjoy sitting through it 2-3 times in every single battle.
I'm sorry, but when easy battles take such an excruciatingly long time, and every single battle requires the exact same strategy through the duration of a 40-hour game, that just isn't fun to me.
I did like the story because I'm a .hack fanatic, but even being the fanboy I am, I could not stand that game.
Loved it.

I mentioned that I saw one of the plugin patches that's supposed to work with UMDs for Extend earlier in the page. I couldn't find anything but a French one for 2nd#, but all it worked on was the saving and home button screens. :/
I don't know French (only English and Spanish), but it'd be a lot easier to comprehend than Japanese.
Ouch, sounds really bad, I'd heard it wasn't that good, but the LE set looks great. I'll probably avoid. One day maybe the original games will get ported to the Vita!
You can find them on GBATemp, I don't know if I can offer more information than that without getting in trouble.

Congrats!! I love my Big Boss PSP3K!
Picked mine up in January, 2012 for the princely sum of $90
Nothing wrong with discussing translation patches.

Damn! Thought I got a bargain at £100 for the above :D
Looking at your previous posts what is the other large Peace Walker box you have? I really should collect all the MGS stuff that is within a reasonable price.

That's the Peace Walker Limited Edition release for NA... came with an art book (which was later included as a chapter in the art book included with the MGS HD Collection LE) and a Foxhound/MSF bandana... seems you can pick them up for about $60 on eBay.
Cheers
Need to hunt down the rest of the Play Arts Kai figures too, have an awful habbit of taking them out of the box though

I think there is a slow-mo fix. If you rip it with CFW and patch the .iso with the fix, it'll run smoothly. There is also a patch to fix the aspect ratio as well if you want to the best way to play it. Sucks, you have to resort to ripping and patching it yourself. People doing what Square-Enix can't (or didn't bother doing)
Actually, not. You can use the LivePatch CFW plugin for that. There should be a thread about the patch with details on GAF.

Anyone know of a decent place to buy a PSP 3000 for new, ideally a western one so I can have X as select? Want to avoid paying through the roof but happy to import.

Even better! Thanks for the clarification. I'm sure others would be interested in this bit of info.

I'm pretty sure there is a GAF member selling a PSP 3000 in the B/S/T for $65 with UMD only copy of Crisis Core.
Edit: Excuse me for the double post, my apologies.
