PSP slim and Lite - My Review

[tarey_g]

Congrats. !!! , for how much did you get it ?

You dont have a charger then its a big problem !

 

[Pathik]

Got it for 5k with a USB charger and Data cable and 4 GB M2. I need a normal charger as I can't keep my PC on for long periods. Even a AC to USB converter will do.

Usb charger is crap, takes too much time, besides your data cable works like a usb charger when your PSP is connected to comp.

Well, wen u connect ur PSP via the USB cable, it automatically charges ur PSP and tat too faster than the charging time taken wen u plug it via the Mains and AC adapter..

Yup, as i said above.. also the charging is faster than the charging time taken wen u plug it via the Mains and AC adapter..

The thing is I am using a generic data cable. Dont know if it will charge faster using that.. Trying it out. BTW loving it. Playing GoW COO and seen a movie.

Doesn't really charge very fast in Data cable USB mode..

Tarey, Ashu, could you post a pic of your data cable and charger?

Mine is this one: *www.qfonic.com/images/products/psp2in1/image01.jpg

BTW, when I connect my PSP using USB, with the USB charging option on, the orange led lights up indicating charging but the battery icon on the top right of the screen doesn't blink. Is it right?

 

[tarey_g]

We have this one.

The data cable i have is the normal mini USB to USB cable that you get with digicams/card readers .

And yes, the way your PSP is charging is normal.

ditto.. i agree..

 

[Pathik]

Got a USB to AC adapter for 100 bucks. Works great and charges very fast.

BTW the original charger costs Rs. 750.

enable the USB CHARGE function in RECOVERY menu.

My MSPD adapter finally reached from DealExtreme.com 1 months after ordering (WTF !) and even bad news is that it is defective (WTF WTF !).

I already have a crap class 2 microSD card from lynx-india.com which they sell mentioning its class 4 (adding to that crap they also have written in the product description that the pack contains some sort of Micro Mate micro reader which i did not get). Now i have a slow micro SD card and a useless MSPD adapter and my PSP is sitting idle in a shelve.

What a waste of money and time.

Well, i was having doubts abt the shipping issues, but the product itself is bad

poor u buddy...

 

[tarey_g]

My friend has the same adapter, and it works fine . May be its just my luck in case of dealextreme.
But the lynx-india.com case is horrible, how can they provide description of a product which is not available with them and send the customer some inferior counterpart !

 

[Pathik]

^ Tough luck. BTW 95% done with God of War : Chains of Olympus. Recommend me some other games. Good ones. No FPS please. IMO they suck on consoles.

Finally got my PSP modded from Palika Bazaar For 100 Buxs !! But m still fearing if anything has gone wrong ... he's loaded the firmware 3.80 M33-5 ( i was literally trembling with fear when he was loading ) .. i had asked him to load the 3.90 M33 - 3 ... is everything ok ... is this CFW stable ?? can i upgrade my firmware to urs guys i.e 3.90 M33-3 ?? i have heard that its better !

Hv u contacted Lynx ppl and told them abt the inferior product.. ??
I think u shud adn also demand tat they either refund the money (wich is highly unlikely) so better ask them for a replacement and u ship back the product to them..

3.90 m333 the stable ?? boss its the MOST stable FW out there mainly bcoz many of us are on that same firmware (tarey and myself) for the past 6-7 months and everygame, every movie, every plugin jus works like smooth butter, u hv to try it to believe it.. if u can get this fw onto ur PSP its best (coz we, tarey and myself) will also guide un if u hv any problems installing stuff on that firmware..

But, also 3.80 is not bad at all.. but i cant really comment on tat (for the obvious reason) tat i hv not used that fw..

But since the modding took jus 100 bucks, then plz go and tell him to load 3.90 m333 into ur PSP...
------------------
NOTE: I hv checked out sum of the older PSPs at Croma, Malad (Mumbai) and (i feel) tat they are the ones which are capable of m0d*ing... Jus a small info for those who are still searching for the older SLIM PSPs...

Cheers n e-peace...

Thnx for ur quick reply bro !! actually i was askin abt 3.80 M33-5 .. is that stable and runs everything ?

Also can't i update the CFW on my own to 3.90 M33 ... m having the CFW files ( 3.90 M33-3 ) ...my main problem is that the modder told me not to upgrade any other version coz it will get the drivers corrupted .. is this true ?

Main cause for me is that whether it is safe to upgrade ( for a CFW noob like me ) or will i end up in bricking my PSP ?

You can easily upgrade to any custom firmware you want.
Although you will need Pandora battery if you want to downgrade.
