Really easy to set up these days, too. I love having my Go in my pocket listening to music, then being able to resume a save-state marathon Gran Turismo race once I'm on the subway, then pause it again and go back to music as I walk the rest of the way to work.

I still have my modded PSP-1000 kicking around, but I literally have not turned it on once since getting my Go ages ago. What kind of battery life does your Go have with the playing music and all? I've never timed the battery life on mine but I swear it's way below what it should be. I hate how it only has 3 bars on the battery icon  , I can never tell how long I've been playing or how long I have left but it always seems to hover around 2 or 1 whenever I do end up looking at it.

Got remote joy lite working reasonably easily. Sucks about the crappy framerate though. Makes it sort of.... useless.

Same for me, I'm trying to access my US account that I made while I lived there, but now I'm living in Taiwan. I basically can't change my password or anything either since the account management website is always under maintenance even though the PSN news and game are showing up on my Media Go Homepage. I'm sure it has to do with Sony being prevented from restoring service in certain countries(such as Japan)until they have proven to credit card companies that they are not loving incompetent anymore.

Well, it looks like PSP isn't entirely dead yet as Aksys is determined to run it until the end. Aksys has announced, so far into their Anime Expo conference, that Fate/Extra is coming to North America this year. In a simultaneously shocking yet disappointing announcement, Aksys has defeated Sony America's decade standing No Visual Novel policy by announcing that Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom is localizing. It's... a visual novel dating sim about pretty boy samurai. gently caress!

Policenaut posted:Not gonna lie, I was hoping for Tale of the Last Promise and Steins;Gate There's definitely quite a few more interesting PSP games out there. Final Promise Story, however, is an Imageepoch self-published title, so it probably falls under that exclusivity deal they have with NISA. And conveniently enough for everyone, NISA has gone on record saying they probably won't be publishing anymore PSP titles. But, besides that, wasn't Last Promise fairly poorly recieved?

Rinkles posted:But, besides that, wasn't Last Promise fairly poorly recieved? Most of the reviews I read of it basically complained of a dark storyline that wasn't very original and the first person battle system (because people like looking at characters). The difficulty is mentioned to ramp up pretty fast and gets Wizardry/Etrian Odyssey-like pretty fast. It's basically supposed to be like a hardcore Wizardry clone with heavy JRPG tones and dark visuals, but people expected a more animeish and accessible JRPG from the trailers. I was really interested in it because the art style and theme looks so cool, but its just kind of disappointing that it and some of the other good "end of lifespan" PSP JRPGs (i.e. Grand Knights History) won't localize. I'm glad at least we're getting Persona 2: Innocent Sin, even if I'm not going to buy it until I get a Vita.

From how you describe it, it's certainly more interesting than it seemed at first glance. Innocent Sin is probably going to be the big western PSP swan song, but I'm hoping the Vita will extend the viability of PSP games to the extent that there'll remain a slow trickle of PSN localizations. My faith's now mostly in XSEED and Aksys.

I bought both a week ago for the PSP. I have a huge backlog problem but I played most of SO2 but something happened and I quit. I played a translation for SNES and thought it was ok. It was like 12 years ago but I thought the 2nd one was great with an addictive crafting system (Although I think you could break the game with it if I recall correctly)

SO2 was hilariously easy to break, but it made up for it by flinging disgustingly broken fights at you in the post-game dungeon. When every random fight presents a very real risk of dying and losing all of your progress, poo poo gets ridiculous.

My favorite part of SO2 was when you reached the theme park, where I remember was when you could get the materials to start using Counterfeiting and was able to make Forged Metals, which gave you a free level up. Just remember going in, buying tons of materials, making like 8-9 of them in a shot, and pumping people up.

Q&A on Wired with Xseed regarding the process behind localisation: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/07/xseed-games/ edit, of particular interest to this thread: quote:Wired.com: Because I have to ask, is there any word on whether you guys are going to tackle the rest of the [Trails in the Sky] trilogy?

well, if i interpret Admiral's post right the issue is that CS allows for switching the UMD while ingame, which the PSP doesn't know how to do with images. Maybe in CS you can go back and forth between things and just have to swap the UMD. If this is really just an implementation detail of the virtual drive, it could be pretty impossible to resolve.

Yeah that could potentially be pretty iffy even if loading between boots from different virtual UMDs could be a possible work around. It'd be great if Falcom could integrate the interface emulation themselves, binding the two UMDs into a single mega file. That is if the size limit isn't hardcoded into the PSP, and Sony's willing to accept it. Although from the past coding support Falcom gave XSEED, or rather didn't (Trails doesn't have quotation marks, because XSEED didn't have any dedicated programming staff of its own) that's probably not gonna happen. The only other 2 UMD release I'm aware of is Final Fantasy Type-0 (formerly Agito), the upcoming FF spinoff. It's relatively high profile so it might motivate Sony to create a solution.

Been playing Legend of Heroes: Trail in the Sky since people here were talking about it and I loved Grandia. Really getting the Grandia vibe. I just find it a bit weird how people are really surprised that the (adopted) brother and sister aren't totally in love with each other.

He was also adopted in an unofficial manner at an age where both of them are around middle school age with both of them remembering the event clearly. The story also goes out of its way to show that they act like normal friends with each together usually and that she was going through puberty when she realized her feelings. This isn't the kind of incest garbage where they used to think that they were related at birth while secretly developing feelings for each other and then DURP, in the ending they discovered that there were only adopted siblings and can safely continue. Nobody is dumb enough to recommend that kind of game or story here.

My psp only seems to charge off a flat/empty battery, if I plug it into the proper charger. I have a usb->psp-power-socket charger, which seems to work IF there's already some kind of battery life in my psp. I'm at work, looking forward to gym + psp later and it seems my psp battery is dead and the loving USB charger is not charging my psp. Is there any fix for this or something? Otherwise I'll just have to plug it in when I get home.

So I have a question. I bought a PSPGo at launch, it being the first new system I had bought since the PS2. I loved it and still do, and have about ~20 games stored on its memory disk. I created a PSN account and everything. Fast forward to 4 months ago, when I bought a PS3. Having forgotten all about my PSP PSN account, I made a new one. Went back to my PSP a few days ago and realized my mistake, figured I might as well link the two profiles together. Done, but now it says all of my PSP games cannot be played. I'm assuming that's because they were bought on my other account? Stupid, I know. But I have two accounts on my PS3, and any games bought on one can easily be played on the other. Is there any way to transfer my PSP games from my old account to my new account, or at least be able to play them again without going back to the old account?
