Did you see my response about GoW though? From my understanding of the video it looks like the UMD version was 333 right? The video was posted before the release of that game.

Your point on Daxter is valid, however Daxter looks to be from 2006 when maybe the 222 limit was in place? This is completely unfounded but here we go: I would guess that all games since just before GoW are 333! Maybe the limit was lifted for the release of the Slim?

 

the CPU limit was lifted due to a more powerful 2000MAh battery being released. infact the only reason the CPU was limited due to the fact that running at 333 mhz would of killed the battery off too quickly. once the higher capacity pattery was released Sony lifted the CPU limit.

Re: Long live UMD's..

I haven't downloaded a PSP game from PSN yet. I'm still buying my PSP games in UMD, and I think it's a really cool format and I think the actually UMD discs look really cool. But it's more than likely all games or the majority will be released by Sony Playstation digitally via download in the near future.

The best games on PSN are those that aren't available on UMD

Re: Long live UMD's..

And some of the best umd games are not on psn. Sure, i may not really like umds,but i prefer them over downloads. Downloads may have their advantages, but when i pay for some,i like to be able to hold it. It may take up extra space and have longer loading, and i got the 1000 model, but i can live with that. So enough with this psp x000 vs psp go crap. If u want only downloads, by all means get the psp go. And no, i haven't downloaded anything off psn because sony decided not to use ad hoc to connect to internet so can't use my phone as a wifi hotspot

Re: Long live UMD's..

Would Joikuspot work on your phone? I think that can expose phones as wifi hotspots... I wouldn't want to download PSN games over my phone as it seems really slow.

 

If the games were sensibly priced on PSN I would totally buy all my games on there. When I say sensibly, lets say I would pay, hmm, £15 for FTB3, it only cost £18 on UMD.

 

I have a 16GB microSD in my PSP which I am trying to fill but it only has about 1GB on there and most are demos and stuff I would happily move aside for some decent full games.

Re: Long live UMD's..

I got a N95 so Joikuspot will work, but only if sony decides to use ad hoc. Wish they could put this in the next update but highly doubt they will. Once sony drops psn prices and add a better selection,their sales will sky rocket. Till then, i'm fine with umds

Re: Long live UMD's..

I think Joikuspot can actually enable HostAP on your phone? I have definitely tried it against my laptop with my phone and it worked for internet connection sharing there. I am using a 5800. If I get chance to reinstall Joikuspot I will let you know if I can get it working on PSP. I canned it because as I say, 3G is not immense around here.

Re: Long live UMD's..

I tried using my dad's n97, it comes standard with joikuspot. Doesn't pick up, even manually entered it, because it uses ad hoc to connect, not infrustructer. I even check the FAQs. We gota wait till sony decides to let the psp use adhoc for internet. I don't really use 3g. Only when i want to download something quickly. Where you from dude?

UK

 

I tried to reinstall joikuspot to test this out but its saying "install failed" with no log so I gave up

 

I saw an FAQ using Joikuspot for a fedora and it looked from the icons like it was going to be ad hoc too which further made me give up. I guess the wlan "card" in the phones must not support HostAP usually.
