New options for the PSP Slim |
Ó
The guys at Kotaku just received their PSP Slim (or PSP-2000 for those who want to get more technical), and they have noticed some new options available for the latest version of Sony's PlayStation Portable.Under the system menu, there are two new USB-related options available, namely the UMD Cache and USB Charge. UMD Cache lets users minimize UMD reading; most probably this option minimizes loading times as well (we hope!). As for USB Charge, the name says it all - you can now charge your unit with a USB cable.
Since the PSP Slim can be connected to television screens, additional options are now available so users can tinker with the display settings. The Switch Video Output lets users toggle between using the television or the PSP screen, while the TV Type option lets users switch between 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios.
The Component/D-Terminal Cable setting lets users choose between progressive and interlaced display output. Finally, there is a Screensaver option which enables users to set the timeout of the screensaver from 0 to 15 minutes.
This update is just one among many, and you can count on us to give you more news as they come. Stay tuned!

I bet the new fw gets cracked in 24 hours. can't wait for this. gittin one on day one, again.
1st
hopefully m33 can rip the screensaver from the new firmware and make it compatible with oldschool psp. it sounds interesting.
I can already charge my PSP with the USB cord I got.
I think they meant through the usb port, not the extra side-cable that you plug into the charging plug
Screw all that..
Does Pandora work ????!! Thats the first damn thing you should have reported.
if they reported that shipment number 2 would be pandora-free, i'd rather that people shut up and find out on their own so we can all get hackable versions.
what does the UMD cache have to do with the USB?
"...new USB-related options available, namely the UMD Cache..."
how are they gonna report on whether pandora works or not if no one has one they're unreleased
Wow. Hopefully someone will rip that screensaver thing for the old one. Cuz im not getting a new PSP until thy me a REAL NEW ONE
The video shows that the normal battery does fit in the PSP Slim and was powered on!
If they reported, and it worked, it would increase the chance that Sony would patch the Pandora's Battery.
from Joystiq found all this stuff out at E3 when he "borrowed" one of the PSP slims
to the idiots wondering about the screensaver...
it is to protect your tv screen from getting burn-in while the psp is connected.
fools.
The guys at Kotaku, the guys who found these hardware changes out about the PSP Slim, found out with a PSP Slim Sony sent them.
LCD screens dont suffer from burn-in
Yes LCD's Do not get Burn in. So having a screen saver on a psp in my idea is just sony trying to take up space inside the flash. Its POINTLESS to have a scree nsaver on a psp.
Im first, hahahah noobz
, jk lol
sounds great, I cant wait to get it
I already knew all that... all these "new features" are old news... big news is to answer "does pandora work?" or at least "do all the leds turn on when the battery is inserted?". If the battery does not work, but the leds turn on Dark_Alex said that there is a big chance that it work then.
idiot
IT'S A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME GUYS!!
You certainly don't know about televisions. Yeah, it's true Plasma screen TV's burn faster when the pixels are projecting the same image but LCD television does burn out (just leave a comp connected for like 12 hours or more and when you watch television normally on it you'll see the pixels worn out a lot.
Pandora doesn't fully work.
When tested, it made the LED flicker, but didn't actually boot fully to service mode.
Still, it means that it's doing something and surely with a bit of tinkering we'll all have Custom PSP Slim firmwares!
(Can't remember where I read it, sorry. Otherwise, I would have provided a link).
actually, on my psp, with the music visualization with the black screen and the color trail that goes into bright white dots on the screen, it screwed up my screen. there's dots all over my screen now. i can't really see them most of the time, but like when i press the home button while i'm playing a game, the grey yes/no screen, it's super ugly.
dude if you want money to buy this wen it comes up...
i sugest saving up NOW
u can do so easily through this
http://xrl.us/CCrate
Does the slim have faster wifi?
i heard it can stay connected stronger ovr a longr connection
i herad it has 3 Di.cks. and...it uses them to walk around and ***** yur mom when yur sleeping............im gonna turn that feature off.., my dad told me to,
lol, yea it is it charges through USB port not the power port with USB end...but same idea though, except there is a option to turn it on or off in the settings, and i did a tad of soldering so mine charges with the USB port
the ppl who write the stories here, get things messed up all the time..i doubt its in the USB option. Also these news were really old news, but i guess its cool for some ppl that didn't know it yet
i donno about faster, but since it got more ram, i guess u can load up more crap instead of the browser keep bugging u u have low ram.
is homebrew capable on the psp slim
...Simply stunning.
Hey got here and get 80$ a day!! http://c$shcrate.com/327927 and refer anyone for over 100$ a day. At least try.
but is the tv out merely a firmware thing? with cables that will fit the body shape of the old psp and the right custom firmware can we get the tv out working?
frankly, if we can do that, i'm gonna wait until my old psp breaks before buying a new one.
I'd like to know if the firmware and next firmwares updates will be the same for both fat and slim psp.
you have read it in wikipedia.
ive seen it there, they say pandora jigkick works with slim psp.
but since its too early and sony knows about this now for sure, there is a chance that the next batch of psp slim in production maybe patched.
the first batch of psp slims is too late to patch so early psp slim buyers maybe buying something rare/brew capable like in a few months until proper crack is made to counterattack the patch that sony will make to prohibit pandora.
also there is a problem if you downgrade your first batch psp slim, there will still be no available custom firmware to install that is specific for psp slim use, therefore will be forced use old psp-100x firmware which doesnt have psp slim functions such as TV output and lots more.
anyways if the new psp slim custom firmware comes out, i'll be rushing out to buy psp slim because its darn hard to play brave story on the heavy and small screen psp-100x. my 19" hdtv is eagerly awaiting hacked psp slim or AAA ps3 games, whichever comes first!
19" is hardly hi-def mate
Thats one Beautiful Feature, i hope they bring out a FW update for the old PSP so it can do that too!!!
well i heard mother f..ucker has like 30 god damn di..cks. if you take the cover off you can see them growing out of the battery
high def is in reference to resolution
not screen size
19" maybe small but it still may be HD capable
PC monitors for years have been displaying HD on as little as 15"
I hope they'll make a custom firmware fir this new psp slim.
The tv out means nuthin... u can use your psp in conjunction with your ps3 already
STFU saving up now my ass, youre a *****ing *****...***** off
the tv out means a lot to me as i don't have a ps3, and i travel a lot. it would make my psp a really good media option whenever i found myself near a tv.
and no, i do not want a ps3, cos all my cash has been sunk into other costly projects at the moment. bearing this cash situation in mind, i would obviously be over the moon if all i had to do is change my firmware again and buy a cable.
There are CRT and plasma HDTVs which do suffer burn in.
I wonder if pandora will work here too.
everyone else here already knows the answer to that!
can you play psp games and watch movies on your tv right now? No!
it's hardly the showpiece he's dressing it up to be!!!!1oneoneoneoneone one
