A problem with the visuals on my psp

Sometimes when I turn my PSP on, nothing comes up except for the color background. No date %26 time, battery, folders, etc. My PSP is version 4.01.A problem with the visuals on my psp
Has this only just started happening since you upgraded to a new version?A problem with the visuals on my psp
Stop using outdated firmware, for a start.
Actually, never mind. I got it fixed so please lock this now. Tnx :)

Yes! This is just what has been happening with me, it keeps going in and out o;like that, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

PSP GO is a disaster...anyone agree that ...

I think: OK, they made a psp go which makes it easier to travel around with a console....WAIT? so what the hell is the other psp's for?are they not here to let you have games on the travel? FULL UMD GAMES.OK, there are some full games on PSstore...but face it...you can download games to the other psp's aswell, the difference:THE DIFFERENCE:''Hey, let's make a new, slimmer psp and remove everything that makes it awesome...UMD....let's let people settle with demo's and pretty ass lame games from the PSstore...'' ma gadPSP GO is a disaster...anyone agree that ...
Mmmm, hyperbole; yeah, it's awful being stuck with lame games like FF7 and 8, GoW, Resistance, Daxter, and 200-300 othersPSP GO is a disaster...anyone agree that ...

hmm...I came to this thread expecting to see a little debate about to start over which was better PSP GO or the original PSPs. But after seeing what the OP had to say about it. This thread is doomed to fail, badly.
I own a PSP and I have to say, the PSP in general is a disaster.
Want to know why UMDs suck?1. They're so noisy2. Unless you use Data Install, UMD's load terribly.3. They're brittle4. They easily drain your PSP battery's remaining power5. Read my ''My PSP's UMD Drive got killed by ants!!!'' thread.
I stick with the 3000.
i like my go

2nd time i have noticed you bash psp in this psp forum. i know you hate your psp a lot, why not just burn it? it's ok, i think nintendo DS is a piece of crap, and i would not touch it with a stick, just like i would not touch something else with a stick that comes out from people's behind. if a free nintendo ds was given to me, i would donate it to a kid in need instead to see a smile in their face.
I disagree... I've owned both and I love the GO...
If PSP 4000 or go 2 had a hardrive and playable UMDs that will be perfect
EVERYBODY AGREES! What were they thinking?! Anyway, you're spot on.
[QUOTE=''Shniernan'']EVERYBODY AGREES![/QUOTE]

Apparently not...
I love my Go, I had a 1000 since its launch, and the Go made for a perfect transition for me; as I got to play all the UMD only games that I wanted to play that are not on the store. Also it fits easily in my pockets, while the original psp did not (usually just put it in my bag).

Read my ''My PSP's UMD Drive got killed by ants!!!'' thread.[/QUOTE]Not to mention the UMD drive is extremely cheap/fragile looking . I wish Sony would have taken more time on the design.
I've played on the 1000 model, and I had the 3000 model shortly before getting my Go. And I have to say that the Go is exactly what I had expected to be: a wonderfully convenient handheld capable of storing some of my favorite movies, games, and music, all into one slick portable package! And with having all that in a single device with no plastic cases or UMD's required, made it pretty ideal in my book!
Dude you nailed it, those are the exact reasons why the PSP Go sucks.
Well for someone like me I just can't afford it. I can't afford to pay full price for every game I want. And I think it sucks that I can't trade my games back in when I'm done. It's just way too much money, and yeah. I mean really, I'd rather pay 28 for a used UMD, or even 40 for it new, than 50 for a download
^ ?I don't even think there's a single game on the PSP PSN thats $50

Any good console-to-PSP ports out there? ...

I have Tekken 6, it's fun but bad as a port since it lacks stuff that the PS3 version has and I also have F%26F Tokyo Drift, it's almost a perfect port of the PS2 version but framerate is bad and it's just to glitchy. I do remember someone mentioneda PS2 JRPG ported to the PSP with no problem at all, but I forgot that game's name...Any good console-to-PSP ports out there? ...
Most of the extreme-sport games are great like Tony Hawk and the ATV series are good.On a side note: I thought your PSP broke...
Any good console-to-PSP ports out there? ...
Persona 3 Portable comes out in July :D Can't wait for it. As for other ports, maybe try the Disgaea games.
[QUOTE=''awssk8er716'']Most of the extreme-sport games are great like Tony Hawk and the ATV series are good.On a side note: I thought your PSP broke...
[/QUOTE]It's fixed now, the UMD Drive got replaced.
Disgaea was the successful port showcasing great graphics which were originally on the ps2.
If you like fighting games, then the port of Def Jam will be right up your ally! Haven't played it myself, but I heard it still retains the brutal and exciting fight mechanics from the original. Plus it's only 10 dollars on PSN! :D
I guess you can consider GTA: VCS a port.
The Warriors is a pretty good PS2 port.
[QUOTE=''Emandudeguy'']The Warriors is a pretty good PS2 port.[/QUOTE]I can vouch for this pick. That game is one of the best beat 'em ups since Final Fight!
Not really a port exactly, but Ace Combat X (a psp exclusive) feels like a Ps2 Ace combat (4, 5, Zero).and I think StarWars: Force Unleashed is a good port. The ps3 version is way better, but i got it for the psp for $5 the other day (clearance at Target).also, GTA Vice City Stories feels alot like GTA Vice City on the ps2. It's not exactly a port (actually VCS was ported to ps2), but it's close, like Ace Combat X.Army of Two is NOT a good port however, the demo stinks, and the review says its pretty bad.

Thinking about selling my PSP Go?

I got it for christmas. I have really only played it for about a wekk after I got it and haven't touched it fro a month. The only game I am looking forward to is Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. I msinly used it for the old PS1 classics which can be played on my PS3 as well. Is it worth keeping for the only game I am playing on it now (Final Fantasy Dissedea).Thinking about selling my PSP Go?
Why are you asking us; isn't that entirely up to you?Thinking about selling my PSP Go?
what about persona 3 portable and mgs peace walker? keep it for your on the go needs.
The only games that interest me for the future are MGS Peace walker and KH: Birth By Sleep.
I always regret selling video games/systems.

Have you ever dream of the perfect PSP

I don't really care. My 3000 is fine.Have you ever dream of the perfect PSP
Mine is almost dreamy, GOW PSP slim with 32GB memory stick (photofast CR-5400 + 2 16GB microsds)



Would change the color for an Ice silver, cause mine seems cheaper because of being plain red without any transparent coat.



Either that or a Go with all the features mine has
The perfect PSP? A free one.
Mine would probably be a larger model of the GO with more comfortable controls, more power, a 2nd analog, and no UMD drive.It would also have COMPLETE backwards compatibility.
I think the PSP is incredible already, but there's that empty space on the right that just glares at you and says ''EFF YOU MAN YOU AREN'T GETTING A 2nd ANALOG STICK HERE SO **** OFF''. And it's that sole reason why I don't have one. also i'm broke. ha.
[QUOTE=''Ramen1020'']Mine would probably be a larger model of the GO with more comfortable controls, more power, a 2nd analog, and no UMD drive.It would also have COMPLETE backwards compatibility.[/QUOTE]



How could it be backward compatible if there's no UMD drive?
Im happy with the way it is, next gen PSP will prob change and make it better but for the time being ill live with what i have.
[QUOTE=''gugler990'']2 analogs Not really needed.More power (for graphics and all that stuff) but can still play old PSP games Not really needed, seeing as I won't sell my PSP even if a PSP2 comes out.compatible with all memory sticks Not really needed.Has the compatible for all flash players to watch youtube and stuff Not really needed.Has more hotspots you can use from Verizon At%26t Boost Etc or Internet USB's so we can go online anywhere I'd love to have that.Can record games you play and post them online Good idea.more indestructable Not really needed.ANT PROOF after reading the other thread lol ant proofAble to pause games to go to XMB A nice thing to have.data doesnt corrupt after downloading a game online Not really needed.able to buy all games directly from PSP I thought we are able to do that already?

No I'm happy with my PSP 3003 it has everything I need and if I want to watch videos on youtube on my PSP I can just use remote play on my PSP with my PS3.
My DREAM Perfect PSP is...-> 12 Hours Battery.-> FREE INTERNET (No WiFi required)-> Ofcourse, Flash Player, (FARMVILLE IN PSP! YEAH!)-> 16 GigaBytes-> Can RUN .EXE FILES! (Oh YEAH!

    hello, i have a question , i have the psp go and i bough a game at ps store right and downloaded so i want it delete from the psp so i can get more space and download more games what happen if i delete from the psp game folder stil in the ps store!about shopping games
    I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you are wondering if you can re-download a previously purchased game, then the answer is yes. You can also use the free Media Go software to back the game up to a PC so that you won't have to download it again, thoughabout shopping games

    Use Media Go, like they said before, it's easier to backup your games, movies, etc. It's best to buy through Media Go too, the download times are a bit fast than that of regular wireless.

    First call an exterminator, then se f you can exchange it somewhere.
    Can you please explain in more detail just exactly what happened? It might help to know all the facts. Did these ants literally rip the drive apart? Or did they just dance around for a while inside the drive? It might just be that the lens needs cleaning or something.

    Pour out a can of Coca-Cola next to the PSP, but make sure the device is kept at a safe distance. Next, open up the UMD Drive. From there, just wait. Within an hour, all the insects should be out of the system and all over the soda. And it's here where you can choose to exact vengeance upon them!Hope that helps. :)

    Yay! My PSP got fixed! ^_^It turns out that a few wires got cut and that some parts got loose due to percussive maintenance.So it turns out that I broke my PSP while removing the ants :P
    Well at least you got it fixed xD;; I had ants get into my PSP once when I left it on the floor next to my bed during an ant infestation :P But there was only a few then.
