Do you want to watch TV on your PSP?

There are two ways that I found out you can watch TV from your PSP. One is with “Location Free Player” and two is with TVUPlayer on PSP. How do these work?

Location Free Player will act as a server. You need to buy this unit to hook it up to your home portal/router and cable. After that is done and ready to go, then you need to configure the setting on Location Free Player on your PSP, under Network menu. I think this is the best choice to watch TV anywhere you have your PSP, and have Wi-fi access.

For TVUPlayer to work on the PSP, you will need to install some software on your computer and one in your PSP with Homebrew enable. (Hacked PSP). You need a VLC Player, TVUPlayer computer application, and PMPVLC009 for the PSP. What this basically will do is stream TV channels from internet to your computer, and then stream from computer to PSP. Please Check Out This Site For More Detailed Explanation .

HOLD IT!!! this post is not yet over. I know another and more practical way to watch TV on the PSP. This way is by just adapting a TV Turner called: “Sony PSP 1-Seg digital TV Turner” (compatible with PSP Slim Only) One small thing though, these are only available in Japan as I hear, but can someone else who is not in Japan get it, even if its pirated? Maybe, Ha!

Hopefully Sony won’t leave the rest of the world behind, with this great gadget. It would be great if it was also launched in the United States too. I for one would buy this for my PSP without a second thought. Yet another function that would plus the PSP over any other handheld device in the world.

Comments? suggestions? welcome!! ^_^

PSP Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII (Review)

Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII is a role playing game (RPG) for the PSP. I started playing this game just a few days back, so I will retract to talk about the story, because as you can see also in the video, I still have not finished the game, just starting. I will add more to this post as I find out more about it, playing it.

Do I like it so far? Well, yes but there are some things that bother me about the game. The cut scenes and voice acting is superb, as well as graphics of the very nice detailed 3d model characters. The main character is Zack. Who the hell is Zack? If he indeed was a character in FFVII I really don’t remember. Nevertheless He is there and a few of our unforgettable FFVII characters, like for example, Tifa, Sephiroth, and Cloud.

The battle system is very unique and we also see similar elements, like using materia, and limit breaks. The battle system is real-time, so there’s no waiting and taking turns,just press the buttons as fast as you can, or else you are just wasting time and getting hit by your enemies. It is not my preferred way to do battle, but maybe it will get interesting later on, when I am ahead in the game. I think I got used to controlling a bunch of people when doing battle, but so far, Zack has been the only one doing any kind of battle.

I am interested to hear what anyone has to say about playing this game, feel free to leave a comment here and give some feedback. That is all for now.

PSP Gradius Collection (Review)

Are you into shooting games, then you will like Gradius Collection for the PSP. For me, it is a little monotonous. I mean, I can play it for a certain period of time, but not too much because it bores me. I don’t mean to give this a bad review. I just think that this collection is practically the same games with a little modification, and has nothing to look forward to.

One thing noticing about the game that bugged me was that it is not so good to keep collecting speed. See, the more speed you have the harder is to control. If you tap up for avoiding enemies, then boom you crashed on the ceiling of the screen. Ha! Not everything here is at lost though, if you save the game where you are, with lots of weapons attached, and die, you can load the game and be at that same place, with all the equipped weapons. That is what I am doing to get to end of the game, haha!

I really suck playing this game as you can see on this video. Loading game is my only option to stand a chance. lol!

PSP Guilty Gear: Judgment (Review)

Guilty Gear: Judgment is a 2d fighting game for the PSP. This game is actually 2 games in one (Judgment, and X2 The Midnight Carnival). You choose at the beginning of the game which you want to play. They have similar character selection, with the difference on the options of play. X2 The Midnight Carnival has Arcade, M.O.M, Multiplayer, Vs CPU, and Survival. Judgment has, Story Mode, Survival, and 2 player co-op.

I played the Story mode, and I think it’s the most fun for me; it is a platform game in which you got to beat many enemies up, going to different stages. Some on which there will be a boss at the end. Watch out, because these are hard.

Ok I like this game, but not as much as some other in the fighting genre.

Are You PSP Crazy?

Sony's PSP has revolutionized the way we look at portable gaming. The Playstation Portable is the greatest handheld game device up to date. No handhelds can do the kind of media the PSP can do. In terms of quality in games, viewing videos, sharing pictures, playing tunes, and browsing the internet, the PSP is the leader in my book.

The game library for the PSP is growing, and growing every day; thus making it a richer handheld device. There’s got to be something interesting on the PSP out there for even the pickiest game player.

I got my PSP two years ago and still love it like the day when I first bought it. I would not trade it for any other handheld game system. I can say for sure, I give it a daily usage, to get myself entertained when there is nothing better to do. Nice to know I have it ready on the go, or just as an alternative to playing my PS3 when I am indoors.

I have many games stored in my PSP. Being able to play Emulators is without a doubt one of the best things that happened to the PSP. Yes, I am PSP crazy. I have even replaced my attention I had for my PS2 to my PSP. I have been on the internet finding out more about it, reading reviews, news, gossip on what is happening, new applications being develop, and more stuff. That of which makes me think, I am not the only PSP crazy here, but also all the ones who develop homebrew games, for example, and of course all the players who have the passion for the PSP’s capability. Haha!

How To Transfer Music Files To The PSP

Transferring music files to the PSP is really basic, and easy to do. I would not post this here, because I assume everyone already knows, as I have had my PSP for quite a while, and think everybody has, but as of lately, I have seen the increase of people getting a PSP for their first time.

Ok, what is needed?

1. PSP any Version, any Firmware

2. Computer with music files in it (MP3)

3. PSP USB Cable (The ones with a regular USB Connector on one end, and Mini-B connector on the other end.)

4. Memory Stick already inserted to the PSP

Procedure:

With the PSP USB Cable, plug in both ends to their perspective connection end. On the PSP main menu go to the “Settings” Menu and Choose “USB Connection” on the list, should be the second one from the top.

On your computer you will be notify that a removable disk have been added. Go to and open My Computer, and open up the removable disk recently added which would be the PSP’s memory stick. Browse and find the MUSIC folder under PSP folder (If not there you can create one). Drag and drop all the mp3 files there. Once done, press the terminate connection on the PSP, this is usually "O" button. Unplug it from the computer. You should now have mp3 files on your music menu on the PSP. Enjoy!!

PSP: Spelling Challenges And More (Review)

Who says you can’t play PSP and not learn how to spell? Spelling Challenges And More proves that it is possible; much like Alpha-Bits cereal teaches how spell while you eat, ha!

Educational games like this are rare; it is different from the rest of the violent action, puzzle, sports, fighting, and role playing games. That is what makes it good and entertaining.

As of the level of difficulty, I haven’t played it much, but I am at level 28. There are 100 levels in all. I don’t consider myself a good speller, and missed some words that are relatively easy sometimes (as you can see on the video).

My recommendation is if you are a parent; buy your kid this game, because I think kids could actually improve their spelling by playing it. Who knows, your kid could become a Spelling Bee Champion with the help of this game.

Spelling is not all you do here, there are other games that teach you about how to identify, verbs, nouns, and adjectives. As you keep playing the game and get good scores you earn dollars (not real ones, just in the game) which is just a way of keeping score. It is fun learning experience for me, because now I know how to properly spell words I wasn’t really sure how to spell before.
