IF Games Like GTA is on a non Homebrew Firmware Will You Upgrade?

Tron_Fan No, not at first. I still am backed up a few games on the PSP, plus Shadow Of The Collossus is coming out for PS2 in a couple of weeks and that should keep me busy for a while.

Heck yes!

played the demo and I OWNED it and Ico.

Can't wait for S.O.T.C.

it'd be hard to resist, but i think i'd prefer to keep my options open, and let the hackers catch up

I have 2 psp's and there both set to say 2.00 due to the WAB version changer i will try to play games and stuff on the psp that i used the donwgradr on becuase it was a 2.0 because the other psp had so many settings i was to lazy to add on again and backgrounds from psp persoanlize stored. . .anyway i'll try the trick with the firmwares and if it doesnt work than i'll still have one 1.5 so what? i'll be able to play cool games and keep my homebrew FOREVER! I'm sure this new mysterious firmware wont be soooooooo hard to crack as seeing as we AL thought 2.00 wouldnt get cracked for the most part, and look what happened people!?

Sony can suck it! there being stupid.

well if GTA is 2.0 then of course theres the v3rsi0n ch@ng3r..
if the game was on something higher than 2.0 then we could wait for those brilliant minds to do their thing and get hb and ems to work on the new os..

If I did have the luck to get a windfall, maybe I'd buy a new psp. low income as it is, its such a brilliant little mechanism it would be idealistic to have one for HB and ems, and the other for strictly commercial stuff like umd games and films!

Here's a question... what if too many people wait for a 2.xx hack to buy GTA: LCS...?

Wouldn't that hurt their sells? Why would they want to do that to themselves?

What really sucks for me is that I got a Japan White PSP in the mist of all of this... I wasn't thinking about the fact that I can't play my Kill Bill vol 2. umd movie on it.

Unless there is some region hack... which I don't know about.

I've got 2 PSP's now and was thinking of selling one on ebay... but with all of this chaos I might keep one for my benefit... especially now that I realized that I can't play the umd movies on my white one. UGGGGGGGGGG!!! lol

it shouldn't be too hard, should it? and if they get past the version changer, maybe some launcher could be made to get through the UMD data to the main 'game' executable

But it dosent matter, that is what WAB Version Changer is for.

sure, I'll upgrade my PSP so I can buy and and play one game at the expense of hundreds of cool homebrews, emulators, 3rd party apps, and any "other" things I may want to try out......

are you kidding? isn't this an emu forum? I mean, if I wanted to be a regular PSP user, I wouldn't be here in the first place.....

come on, be serious. even having to buy another psp at $250 is worth it, even if you don't have the scratch. In the long run it is worth it, plus you can sell your pretendo DS and not fuss with the GP32x..........and save the dough for another PSP!
I did!

Compared to the Ipod, the PSP is a joke mp3 player, but for nearly everything else it leads the market in portable coolness!

well, I heard there is a way to play games that require an update without an update and without the version changer, according to what I heard you just have to run a game compatible with your version software or lower, then change it quickly to the game which needs the upgrade and it will be able to run it without an upgrade.

I hope this helps.
