Hi,
I hope some of you guys can offer some advice and help to a complete newbie to the PSP world.
I recently got a PSP on a trip to Japan (I live in the UK), having been assured that games weren't region encoded. While it does indeed seem to play most games OK, I recently found that MACH seems to have the 'X' and 'O' buttons swapped over. Hardly a disaster, but annoying, none the less.
So is there any way I can fix this? I'm on V2.82 firmware, but is it the firmware that's causing the buttons to be swapped, or do the Japanese machines have the buttons wired up differently?
While I'm intrigued by the homebrew world, I'm not a programmer, and I'm having a hard time finding any docs that really give me a good, basic introduction to this. Any pointers, anyone, please? It seems I need to download a whole bunch of different FAQ pages from sites such as this, and try to piece them all together. :confused:
Also, I've just got my PS3, so I'm keen that anything I do to my PSP isn't going to affect how the two are likely to coexist, ie do I need to get the latest firmware to allow the PS3 to work with it?
Thanks, everyone!
:thumbup:
Edit to correct current firmware version (I originally wrote v2.72 instead of v2.82)
