WTF? 0.4kg? 400 gms?

BTW, Ashu, Tarey, you guys using 4.01CFW?

nope buddy, me too on 3.90 m333 and as tarey (gaurav) said below the hassels reqd. of compatible plugins.. im also sticking with the same cfw.. :)

yup, gav (gaurav) im wit u man... :D

the plugins tat i hv it on my PSP with cfw 3.90 m333:
1.) Screenshots plugin
2.) Hold plugin
3.) Bookr (for reading pdfs)
4.) Music plugin (for listening to music in game+with hold plugin)

No , me on 3.90 M33-3 , all my plugins and applications are compatible with 3.90. if i upgrade i will have to go thru the headache of finding compatible plugins again.
I see no point upgrading the firmware atm.
yup agreed to u totally man... :cool: (tell me wenever u plan to upgrade ur cfw, as i will also do it tat time only)... :)

BTW any idea of the price of a modded one in Ninja? any CFW will do.
well all the older PSPs (PSP 2000 with the moddable ta-088 v2 mobos) are out of stock or are close to getting outta stock, so if there are any few left in the markets, the ppl are selling them at abit higher prices...

btw.. here are tips to make sure tat u DONT accidently BUY A PSP wich is NON MODD@BLE:

a.) Ask wich firmware (a.k.a official firmware) the PSP has installed? Tis is the 1st step to confirm u buy a PSP wich can be modded later..if the sales representative says this:


  • OFW (official firmware or jus firmware) 3.71 then be happy as this PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v1(version 1) wich can be modded easily and hence ur PSP can be modded easily..
  • OFW 3.90 then again be happy as this PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v2 wich can be modded easily and hence ur PSP can be modded easily.. :smile:
  • OFW 4.xx (where the xx may stand for any number like eg: 4.01 or 4.05 etc..) then PLEASE be really carefully as PSP comes with motherboard TA-088 v3(version 3) wich CANNOT be modded AT ALL and hence ur PSP CANNOT be mo*ded in future
but if the sales person says that this is the only PSP (comin with 4.xx ofw is available, then nothing can be done abt mod*ing)

b.) the 2nd thing wich u shud check.See the bar code sticker on the BOX of the PSP (it will be a white colored and square sticker roughly of the size of 2"x2") on the PSP box there must be sumthing written like this (below):
PSP-2004 PB
220-240V
G
<then bar code> (with a sequence of numbers below d bar code)
<then anothr bar code> (with a 2nd seq of no below d bar code)


THe info (is from my PSP Box) and it means: (line-by-line explaination as below)
1st line: PSP-2004 (model is 2004), PB=Piano Black (the color of the PSP in the box)
2nd line: the PSP requires/works on a 220-240Volts
3rd line: the letter "G", this denotes PSP Slim Series will have the letter "G" or higher.. (this is important as u'll read later..)
4th line: a bar code (nt meant to be decrypted) as it makes no sense.
5th line: another bar (nt meant to be decoded) for same above reason.

NOTE: If u hv a letter "C" rather than a "G" on the 3rd line, it will surely mean that u have a NON MO*D@BLE PSP with a TA-088 v3 mobo so check it.

c.) 3rd step, tell him to open the cover where the battery resides, jus ask him politely
Have a a look below the battery (not at the back of the battery but at the place where ur battery is placed on ur PSP and look on the psp console, theres this DATE CODE, what does yours say?

Mine says this ---> DATE CODE 8B ..so I mo*ded it and installed CFW.. so check it,
if it is 8C, then it may be a non mo*d@ble PSP


BUT out of all these 3 points (a,b,c) the MOST IMPORTANT point wich will let u CONFIRM 110% abt ur PSP being mo*d@ble or no..is to see the OFW (official firmware) the PSP comes with... if it is 4.xx (sa said in point a.) then DO NOT buy it PLEASE..

===========================

this will be a really good info (above) for many a ppl.. :) hope i was clear in explaining the various things...



Cheers n e-peace....

Tested the MSPD adapter with 4GB microsd. Works flawlessly :D .
I 'felt' that PSP boot up was little slow (maybe). Everything else just felt fine, music, video, games, etc etc.

Final Verdict - Go get it :D , I am ordering the Adapter+ 8GB microSD .

btw, any good place to get original 8GB microSd ? I think it will be easier to find this one rather searching for 8Gig MSPD.

Price for the adapter is approx 300/- , some one tell me the price of 8 GIG micro SD, 4 Gb is available for 600/- approx.

wooooohooooooo
FINALLY .. :D:D

btw, from where did u purchase the MSPD adapter ?? and for how much ?? (coz my only concern is the adapter) the Micro SD i can get it anywhere...

also, the price of the Micro SD is really mouth watering...(600 bucks for a whooping 4 GB)....

also, gaurav, how do u transfer files onto the Micro SD ?? by being it plugged into the PSP slot itself and using the PSP in usb mode( I prefer this way only, plz tell me if this works or no) ?? or u using any card reader ??

Use any means, a card reader or thru PSP. I used PSP for transfer. Flawless.
i don't own any MSPD adapter right now, I got one to test from a TE forum member (we work in the same company, i came to know that a week ago :D).
He got his adapter from dealextreme.com .

Deal Extreme MS Pro Duo Adapter Link

I Personally feel that Rs. 800 at Lynx India for the adapter is quite high .... So will search it elsewhere !

BTW , i m lukin for the PSP TV-Out Cable too ! Are they easily available and wat do they cost arnd ?
To BB:

Well, i had posted many screenshots of tat AV cable (TV cable).. in this thread itself..along with the price (Sony as well as non branded maal too)... sorry a bit lazy to search the prev pages.. :D:D

but about the prices, the Sony one (with 3 cables) costed around Rs.1200 where as the Non branded one (with 6 AV cables) costed approx. Rs.700/- (both with gold plated pins)..the Non branded looking better than the Sony one.. :)
