N00biest Things You Ever Did With a PSP

[masterelite9]

Me? Upgraded to 2.71 thinking that would make homebrew work. (currently 3.10 OE-A')

[Gizmo356]

Updated.

[getdustin]

I tried to put a prx into the flash zero and try to make it work there instead of putting it in seplugins. It made it a partial brick but i fixed it.

[Triv1um]

Was this ment to be in ps3 forums?

[masterelite9]

Was this ment to be in ps3 forums?

Not really. I meant to put it in the PSP homebrew section, but mistaked PS3 for PSP. :p My bad.

[Triv1um]

Oh by the way the noobiest thing ive done with mine was take it apart and forget how everything goes back. haha

[gunntims0103]

noobiest thing i ever did with my psp was try to set up devhook on 3.10oe_A'. It ended up a partial brick. I did it 3 times, each time ending in brickage. I recovered every time :). Im back on 3.10oe_A'

[-Xandu-]

Nothing much since I studied everything about the PSP before I even bought it ;).

[ICE]

didnt know about homebrew so i upgraded to 2.71. i found out about it and downgraded a week after the downgrader was released.

3.03 OE-C

pretty much what i did :)

no n00bish things mmk

[Mark30001]

I bought a 1.50 firmware PSP and upgraded. I didn't realize until after that I was missing out on some homebrew, so I complained about dead pixels and received a new one.

Then my smart self upgraded again to 2.71 and was stuck for months :mad: till there was a downgrader. :cool:

[UchihaSasuke]

Mines was trying to make daedalus work when i was 2.8

xD

[axlthehero]

i have to say the noobest thing ive done is pull the battery out when i was downgrading from 2.80, because i was going on a trip and obviously couldnt downgrade in the car. i thought that if i left it it might burn an image in the screen... :D

[devdj]

the first noobiest thing i did when i got the my psp was upgrade my 2.01 to 2.71 then 2.80 and finally waited patiently for downgrader now i'm at the slightly disappointed 3.10 A'

[Cloudhunter]

My noobiest thing?

Don't have one, I was never a PSP noob :p

[xg917]

i studied everyhting about homebrew and downgrading and everything before i bought my psp but i went kinda crazy wen i got a custom firmware. but luckily i have a new psp. and i mite ""fix"" my old psp *shhhh* its a secret. lol

when i was in recovery mode i toggled flash0 and the disk space was full, so i deleted everything and put my back up flash0 stuff that i backed up to my computer. then i disabled usb flash0 and tried going to the xmb but nothing came up, so i turned off my psp. turned it back on and no recovery menu, no backlight, no memory stick light flashing. then umd wouldnt spin when i started the psp with a umd in. i landed with the biggest brick ever.

-N008y ;) lmao

[cptwaggawagga]

mine was that i tried to do a mod with the umd door cover and it broke..so no im stuck with some first aid tape holding it on

[krazykarl]

I update to 2.81 b/c I couldn't wait for a new dh or se/oe fw and I just HAD to play Metal Gear PO

[UchihaSasuke]

I feel you on that one, Metal Gear was one of the best games I ever bought

Same here.

Though without telling a long and involved story featuring the stupidity of Amazon, I managed to get my PSP for free :thumbup:

[Man]

Iv been following the scene since the memory stick swap expliot, lmao, lets see you dam noobs remember that ! Then i upgraded to 2.0 for grand theft auto, not the noobish thing yet, then, i was higher then a kite, and i deleted my Vsh resource file in my Flash0, and thats it, i fixed it, and love my psp.

[Gizmo356]

Dropped my psp.

[joshisposer]

Back in the older days where back ups had to be loaded onto an emulated firmware, i tried running an update off of it, it almost bricked my psp, but luckily i had the actual disc when the update froze, so then i popped the disc in and finished the update. Actually, i think this was before it was emulated, idk. but i downgraded back to 1.5

Man, i remember the swaploit. That thing f'ed me up a bit. It didn't work with my memory stick too well. That was when 1 gigs were like for the rich peoples at over like $150. I sort of remember Hello World but i didn't quite understand it at the time with 1.00. My psp has taught me quite a lot...

[Cap'n 1time]

Sold my original DreamCast in 2001 and had to buy another one 2 years later. I am so ashamed.

[halojames]

[Prasoc]

@ the last two posts: you cant do anything

the most stupid thing i have ever done with my psp (well my old one) was i have a 1.5 and i flashed a font, but instead of using the program to change the .ttf into a psp font file (.pgf?), i just renamed the font file and then flashed it. it resulted in a half-brick, non-recoverable :(

[pt9087]

Back in the day of 2005 i put the umd upside down in the umd drive, when i first got my psp it was 2.00 then downgraded in january 2006.

[Cap'n 1time]

As for PSP, I lost my thumb stick... It fell off.

[Milotisx]

up until like two months ago... everything. I upgraded aaaaall the waay tooo shfifty five. No wait, I mean 3.00 and now I got my bitchin 3.03 oe-c

[Milotisx]

Oh wait the noobiest thing was I tried totake the disk out of my first psp umd. by cracking it. Oh and I've lost four thumbsticks

[DarknessCyShadow]

Me?

Gods let me think...

I...

Uh...

Oh right. I updated to 3.00 back before the downgrader. Felt like a moron waiting for the DG to come along all that time. Can't even remember WHY I did it...A sudden lurch of spontanious stupidity...

Buuuut then I downgraded it and now have Dark Alex 3.10a running about like a headless chicken on there...

[SnesR0X]

I bricked it, then un-bricked it:)

[johnston829x]

1.i was putting in a new lcd screen and i (1)broke the clip that holds in the cable to the backlight
(2)electricuted myself

2.i super glued my analoge stick on because it kept falling off

3.when i first got my psp(christmas 05) i updated to 2.6 not knowing anything about homebrew. then i updated my 3 other friends psp's...a couple days later we found out about homebrew...

[The King]

the stopidust thing i have done is buy a psp and a usb cable
first without having a computer
second with no memory card
third withouth knowing how to put music on my psp
fourth i had firmware 1.0

wat ya thing

[SpooForBrains]

3.when i first got my psp(christmas 05) i updated to 2.6 not knowing anything about homebrew. then i updated my 3 other friends psp's...a couple days later we found out about homebrew...

Same as me. Well, I knew about homebrew, but I didn't, at that point, have a big memory stick, or even a USB cable. The limitied reading-up I had done led me to believe that I would be able to downgrade to run homebrew, so I did a network update to 2.6.

Fool, fool fool. Got GTA eventually and ran Dgen, but without kernel mode most homebrew wasn't a pleasant experience, so I kinda left it until I found out about the downgraders and custom firmwares.

[steve520]

I was really dumb when i bought the only thing i knew was it played games and i didnt even know how to put music and on it so then i upgraded to 2.71 thinking it would work but i did research and discovered how much of a dumbass i was

[parkermauney]

Either asking sony why homebrew wouldn't work on my psp, or intalling a theme without backing up.(Which eventually led to a brick.)

Actually that was 2 days ago.

[potatoman]

updated for video rss support, then to 2.81 cause i thought that security updates were to stop people hacking into my psp. (2 yrs ago)

[White_Hawk_UK]

I shamefully admit that I attempted, with my pathetic soldering skills and no appropriate vision aid, to install my own UP chip...

*BRICK!* :eek:

Harsh dude...

[zeritooverride]

The noobiest thing I did was get a pink psp for my girl knowing that I wasn't going to be able to downgrade it. Had to use it for a week because she took mine, good thing the 3.03 downgrader came out a week later! and I had a GTA copy around!

[Video_freak]

Uh at first I didn't get how homebrew worked, or what it was at all. :P

Then I asked people and they kindly helped me. :)

[scrish]

noobiest thing I ever did was upgrade to 3.03 as soon as I got it home and plugged the charger in then 3.10 then 3.30 and now 3.40 waiting for downgrade

[MattZani]

Nothing N00Bish really, im on 3.4, but i knew all the facts like not having homebrew.

a few friends thought UMD's came out of the white case, one actually broke it!

Matt

[AvengedSevenfold Fan]

Lets see....well first i thought I had to update, because when i tried to run Smash GPSP, it had a corrupt error message. Then I thought downgrading was an easy run through no need to check process, and forgot to put in the 1.5 dump when I tried to downgrade my 2.6. But i told sony my psp just turned off when i was updating, so guess what? new free psp!

[dhraad]

...i thought sony updates were cool.:(

But i'm better now.

[b_simpson1999]

i got quite a few really reading the others lol

1.)Buying metal gear acid 2 (quite cheap) thinking it was going to be like metal gear solid.

2.)Upgraded cos i didn't know about homebrew till 3.03, but thanks goodness for 3.03 downgrader now on 3.40OE-a and loving homebrew.

3.)Thinking the thumb stick was a speaker, but had no book.

4.)I lost my thumb stick... It fell off. but i put it back on.

[sonikku88]

Upgrading to 2.50 from 1.52. All the guys in my class with PSPs made fun of me. =[

Doesn't matter now though, because they all got rid of their PSPs from lack of interest. I'm currently running 3.40 oe-a.

[mastersho]

Fed it to my dog. now she plays Super Mario World all the time.

[TeenDev]

the noobiest thing I ever did was not buy one....

[White_Hawk_UK]

Fed it to my dog. now she plays Super Mario World all the time.

Yeah, I hear those canines are able to handle emulation pretty well if you have the right breed. Never try to use a charger on your dog, though..!
`O.o'

[mike03$$$]

the noobest thing i ever did is the first day i got my psp back in the christmas of 2005 i upgraded to 2.60 then later on found out about homebrew through internet.

[JKKDARK]

N00best thing I ever did: I bought a PSP

[jason215]

Nubiest thing i did was deleting some flash1 or 0 files "dont remember" what files to clear up some memory ^^

dam i felt dumb when my psp didnt boot up....

Thank god for the Recovery menu ... ;) Thnx DA

[Memento]

the noobiest thing i ever did was downgrade it on the day it couldn't be downgraded...

[ryan2006]

lol i almost bricked mines the day i got it!, i was downgrading 2.0-1.5 and i wasnt sure what i was doing and i ended up taking my battery out(i dont even know why lol):confused: and i thought i had bricked but it was ok in the end

[Chameleon]

got stuck with eloader ( which is pretty cool) because i upgraded my 1.5 to play GTA

[White_Hawk_UK]

Surely, if you can use eLoader, you can downgrade??

[blackrave]

The eLoader for 2.80 came weeks, if not months before the downgrader. ;)
I haven't really done anything stupid before .. I've always studied the ways of things before I've embarked on something risky. I was really scared when I downgraded from 2.60, though. :p

Holy crap, is that some kind of magic8ball picture? I couldn't make it out, i got close, but no. :(

[enderandrew]

That looks like one of the old code/spoiler fields I'd see in print. You'd have to get a pair of special lens that filtered the image so you could read the hidden text.

[White_Hawk_UK]

Took me a while to see it myself, but it is a magic-eye picture; blown-up to 1440x279, it suddenly became clear to me. :p

Won't give away what it is... *conspiratorial wink* ;)

Two syllables; first rhymes with knack; second sounds like wave... hmmm...

[parkermauney]

Ah.

It seems to be some kind of bird. Maybe a raven? :D

[White_Hawk_UK]

But t'is no such image... ;)

noob me when i opened my psp
