PSP Go FAQ

[Dogg Thang]

Thanks Joe. It is nuts that there's no way to reorder the games.

[Brad]

Does anyone know if there's a way of organising my games on a PSP Go other than deleting them all and copying them back on in the order I want them?

Also, any case recommendations? I got one of those leathery type ones that it actually clips into as if you're supposed to play it with the case still on but I find that awkward and it adds more bulk than it needs to. Any good slim cases?

I've got one of those too. Once the right hand tab snapped off I find it much more useful as I can now pop the PSP in and out more easily lol. I also seems to provide a fair bot of protection; important considering the ludicrous price of the PSPGo!

Thanks Joe. It is nuts that there's no way to reorder the games.

Doesn't the OS order the games by the FAT32's filesystem modification dates? Perhaps you could put a textfile in each directory or something and then update each text file in order of how you want them to appear.

Might not work, surely you'd think there would be a 'sort' option on the triangle menu or something. bah.

[J0e Musashi]

Explain ye Shane.

Triangle only gives you two options. By date, and some odd expiry date thing. None of which are much help. You'd have thought they'd sort out an alphabetical one like PS3 really.

For anybody who is importing one of these and is wondering about charging it from the mains, all you need is a standard UK power lead. They used to be really common don't seem to be used as much now, looking online they seem to be called C7 Figure 8 cables.



The AC adaptor that I got with my US version (May be different different depending on the region) has these ratings:
Input - 100v-240v
0.2a
50/60Hz

That doesn't mean anything to me apart from knowing that the UK & US are safe to use it. I don't know if there are any regions which supply electricity but if you live in one of those places then you probably already know.

I picked up a UK PSP Go at the Weekend, I have a completely different PSU setup. The manual shows 2 types of PSU. 1 uses the kettle cord as shown, my one is a UK plug socket to USB block then you plug the USB cable straight into that, no kettle cord bit. Makes the Charger cable about the length of my arm >_< No play and charge from the mains for Mike

Screen = Fabby doo
Sound = adequate, but I think the DSi offered superior audio quality but that was chip music.
Battery Life = a great big ruddy BOOOO! 3 hours ish ain't great for on the move, but USB charging should mean it's not too bad to get access to a charger. Could even use a laptop to charge it if need be lol.

As a console, the comfort it offers over the PSP and DS/Lite/i is incredible. It's the most natural feeling handheld I've used and I like the gimmicky Sensme music application they've added (think this is on the other PSPs too).

Just need some more pennies now so I can get a few full games for it.

[wakka]

It seriously has three hours battery life? lol wat

[Brad]

I played Gran Turismo for 3 hours on the bus journey to Eurogamer Expo. Ad-hoc wireless with my mate. The battery was near death by the end of it though but this is with wireless on.

The battery can be replaced it seems. Not easily but it's not soldered, just a wired connection with a clip.

[MikeRox]

It certainly needs a better battery life IMO. But other than that, I put it up there with the GBA SP+ as a near perfect handheld.

[Dogg Thang]

The battery life is indeed pretty pants. And I'd say personally that I think it's a long way off being the perfect handheld. I find the nub position to be very awkward. Playing WO Pulse is much more comfortable on the 2000/3000 model. And, oddly, I think the d-pad may be ever so slightly worse than the last model - playing Street Fighter results in much more missed moves. At least for me.

But I love the size, love the weight, love the screen and games that just need basic use of the d-pad and main four buttons feel great on it.

[Brad]

I prefer the nub position and think the D-Pad is waaaaayyyy better than any of the non go models

[J0e Musashi]

I'm not sold on the pad TBH. It's as though it's on rapid fire mode. I find using the browser extremely difficult with it.

TBH I think I prefer my 3000 in general. It's got a bigger screen, the controls are better and are better placed, and it has a UMD drive.

[Brad]

Where did you get all your Go accessories from joe?

[J0e Musashi]

You mean the bluetooth headset reciever and converter cable adapter that I put the pics up of in the headlines thread?

Some guy called Mike. I first came into contact with him via eBay in 2004 when he sent me a PSP-1000. Ever since then I've dealt with him directly for anything PSP-related ever since.

My stuff isn't here yet, which is Stupid postmen.

[Brad]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Those accessories appear to be vaporware to google searches!

[Del Boy]

If i was to sell my Go and obviously delete all my details would the buyer beable to play the games that are on there?
