PSP Host Buy Sunflower Collection
Do you need PSP?
Now that everyone advocates rational consumption, let me first introduce some of the most commonly used functions of PSP. If you think these functions are practical for you after reading the introduction, it is not too late to consider starting PSP now. Otherwise, blindly follow the trend and find it useless after buying it. Why pay for it yourself?
Play games: You are overwhelmed by all kinds of games produced by major game manufacturers, and there is always one for you who loves to play games. In addition, if you are a nostalgic person, you can relive your happy childhood on PSP by running various simulators of other hosts (Contra, tank battle, Solomon's Snake, Red Fortress) ... all of which are familiar).
Listening to songs: Support MP3 format audio files, and can display the picture information of songs. Like mainstream MP3 players, it supports most special playback functions. The number of songs you can save depends on the capacity of the memory stick you buy.
Browse pictures: How cool it is to enjoy your favorite digital photos or albums anytime and anywhere on PSP! It can support pictures in BMP and JPEG formats, and support special operations such as enlargement, reduction, rotation and slide show. The number of pictures you can save depends on the capacity of the memory stick you buy.
Watching movies: The official supports MP4-encoded video files, AVI-formatted video files (not yet perfect) through third-party programs, and Sony movies with clear picture quality.
Reading e-books: There are Yan Ruyu and Golden House in the book ~ There is nothing better than reading. When waiting for the bus, taking the bus and having afternoon tea … As long as your memory is big enough, with PSP, you can take a library with you, enjoy the rich e-books online for free, and listen to songs while reading! This is cool enough!
These are the most commonly used PSP functions in our daily use. Of course, PSP's skills are not limited to these, and there are many known and undeveloped advanced functions such as surfing the Internet and remote control. However, the most commonly used functions of ordinary players are not those listed above. Seeing this, I believe everyone has a clear answer to whether they really need PSP. If your answer is yes, please read on, and we will teach you how to choose a satisfactory PSP in detail.
Differences between different versions of hosts in the market
When purchasing, you need to pay attention to the last few digits of the bar code at the bottom of the host (the place marked in red in the figure), which can distinguish the hosts in different regions.
At present, the PSP hosts on the market mainly include Japanese version (the last few digits of the host number are 1000), Hong Kong version (1006), American version (100 1), Taiwan version (1007) and European version (/. The host difference between these five versions is the UMD movie zone code. UMD is also partitioned like a DVD, and UMD movies in a certain partition cannot be played on the corresponding host.
The American version is the first district, the Japanese version is the second district, the Hong Kong version is the third district, the Taiwanese version is the fourth district, and the European version is the fifth district. However, PSP's games are not partitioned, which means that any version of the host can run all the games that PSP sells around the world. Therefore, the game is universal, not limited by different host versions, and players can rest assured when buying game CDs.
Speaking of games, there are abundant resources to crack games on the Internet, but at present only 1.0 and 1.5 hosts can be used normally. PSP has not only a sales version, but also a system version. The way to query the PSP version is to select "Settings-System Settings-System Information" in the PSP main menu, and click OK to see several lines of data, in which the line "System Software Version 1.00" shows the PSP version number.
Since it was released in June 5438+February, 2004, PSP has released seven system versions: 1.0, 1.5 1, 1.52, 2.0, 2.0 1 and 2.5. These different versions of the host have no difference in hardware functions except for some minor improvements in hardware (mainly for the improvement of keys). You must ask, in this case, what version is really the same? No, don't underestimate the difference of this system! On the surface, Sony took pains to upgrade the operating system of PSP frequently because the purpose of these upgrade packages is to further improve the functions of PSP in the hands of players-for example, a PSP with 1.5 can remember the location of the last MP4 movie after quitting MP4 player, but a PSP with 1.0 cannot.
For another example, the PSP of 2.0 has a more perfect web browser and also supports the DIY desktop of the player himself. Behind these fancy functions, Sony's anti-piracy technology is actually hidden again and again. Because the two versions of 1.0 and 1.5 released earlier, players can run all kinds of genuine games and self-made programs from the memory stick after being cracked, which seriously affects the sales of genuine game CDs. Sony was forced to upgrade the operating system of PSP again and again to counter the influence of cracked games on the sales of genuine games.
Not all 2.0 PSPs can be downgraded!
In late September, the version 2.0 system was officially announced to be cracked, and the system degradation became possible! The above picture shows the version information screen after the white version 2.0 host was successfully downgraded to 1.5.
Does that mean that only 1.0 and 1.5 versions of the system can play cracking games? Before September 28th, the answer to this question was yes, but later, some players successfully invented the method of downgrading the version 2.0 system to 1.5, so that the systems of 1.5 1 and 1.52 can also be upgraded to version 2.0 and then downgraded to/kloc-0.
Therefore, if you want to run all kinds of powerful self-made programs on PSP, you must choose any version of the host below 2.0 system (including 2.0) when purchasing the machine. At present, the system above version 2.0 has not been cracked. If you buy a host that can't run homemade programs, you can only spend a lot of money on genuine games and movies to realize various entertainment functions that can be realized free of charge on the 1.5 version of the host.
Attention! Not all 2.0 versions on the market can be downgraded, mainly because the 2.0 system released by Sony in July is different from that released in August. The system version is also 2.0. Only the 2.0 system released in July can be successfully downgraded to 1.5 version! Therefore, unless you are very familiar with the PSP downgrade method, I strongly recommend that you ask your boss to directly help you downgrade the system to 1.5 version when you buy it! Because there are risks in the process of degradation, your PSP may become a device that can't be turned on or run normally if you are not careful!
What's the difference between an ordinary host and a luxury host?
The difference between the regular host and the deluxe host is that the latter has the word "value package".
Japanese PSP hosts sold in the market can be divided into normal version and deluxe version. The difference between the two is that the deluxe edition has more random accessories than the regular edition, such as original protective soft bag, original wired earphone, original lanyard and original 32m memory stick. Of course, if there are more accessories, the price will go up. Generally, luxury hosts are about 200 yuan more expensive than ordinary hosts.
Personally, I think 200 yuan's accessories are more practical, that is, the original wired headphones, because the 32mb memory stick is simply a chicken rib, and the soft package does not fully protect the host. The average player will buy a better outsourcing to protect the host, and the original sling is even more dispensable. Moreover, there are original wire-controlled headphones for sale online, and the price is around 50-80. Therefore, I suggest not to care about friends who spend more than 200 yuan, and simply buy a luxury PSP to save something. Friends with weak economic strength buy ordinary PSP. In view of the mentality that most people are interested in wired headphones, but don't want to spend money on the original package, there is also a compromise, that is, the machine only buys the regular version, and then buys the wired headphones separately. (Second-hand or brand-new products are not expensive, generally around 100 yuan)
Physical store purchase or online shopping?
Everyone may have different answers to this question. I bought my own PSP on Yi Bei. Through the Anfutong platform, PSP agrees to pay after checking that there is no problem. The whole transaction process was very smooth and safe. You may be worried about after-sales service. The author's view on this issue is that as long as you use electronic products normally, the probability of hardware problems during the warranty period is very small. Even if you buy it in a physical store, if the machine really has hardware failure, I believe that there are not many video game points in China that have the strength to repair the host hardware at present, and you have to send the host to a specific place for repair by mail.
In this way, it is actually no different from online shopping. If something really goes wrong, send the host back to the seller for repair. After the repair, the seller will be responsible for sending the machine back to you. Of course, if you choose online shopping, you must find a seller with high credibility and credit certification to buy.
Even if you are not interested in online shopping, I suggest you go to Taobao, Yi Bei and other online shopping platforms before buying a host in a physical store, so that you will know something about the market and won't be ripped off by JS.
Several things that must be done before paying for the purchase.
Precautions when purchasing:
Check whether the host is brand new and make sure that you didn't buy a rework machine or a second mobile phone. The most convenient and intuitive inspection method is careful observation! Because there is no original PSP case for sale in the market, the possibility of buying a refurbished machine is basically zero. Any repaired or second-hand mobile phone, once used, will inevitably leave traces of use. As long as you observe carefully, you will find clues.
There are hidden screws that must be opened when starting the machine under the sticker marked with red line in the picture. If your machine has been dismantled, you will know it here. First look at whether there are scratches on the surface of the host, especially the screen. If the seller posted the screen protective film in advance, he must insist on tearing off the protective film for inspection, otherwise some small scratches will not be easy to find. Secondly, see if there is dust in the gap of each button. As long as it is a second-hand machine, it is easy to accumulate dust in these gaps. To clean it, you must take apart the shell. There is a screw with a bar code label in the battery slot on the back. You just need to carefully observe whether the sticker has been torn off, and you will know whether the machine has been dismantled. Again, look at the transparent L and R keys on the upper left and right for signs of wear. Because these two keys are often used in use, the probability of wear is relatively large. It is also a good way to judge whether the main engine is brand-new by carefully observing whether these two parts are worn or not. Finally, look carefully at the circular metal decorative ring on the CD-ROM drive compartment on the back of the host. This part is easy to scratch, and used machines will inevitably leave scratches here. To sum up, when buying a machine, you must calm down. Don't neglect the inspection because you are excited when you see the PSP for the first time. You know, once things leave the store, it's hard for you to tell your boss again ~ ~ so it's still an old saying: be careful to sail for thousands of years!
Boot check to find out the bad points on the screen.
Check whether there are bad spots and bright spots on the screen. Generally speaking, the bad point we are talking about is that a certain part of the LCD screen cannot display colors normally. When there are red and blue beside it, the position of the bad spot will show the color that should not appear. The bright spot means that the liquid crystal dot always presents high bright color, and the dark spot, as the name implies, means that the liquid crystal dot always presents dark color. In fact, whether it is a bad spot, a bright spot or a dark spot, it should be collectively referred to as a "bad spot". According to this principle, the method of checking whether there are any bad points is also very simple. Just browse monochrome pictures (white, black, blue, red and green) made of several colors on PSP. Carefully observe whether there are dots in each color picture that cannot be displayed or display abnormal colors. It is best to look in the darkroom and find the most problematic point. If you don't have the conditions to carry out the above inspection operation, you can usually see whether a PSP has bad or bright spots when you buy a machine. Bad spots and dark spots can be clearly seen in the normal monochrome menu screen, and bright spots can also be seen in the PSP copyright screen. The method is to select "System Settings" on the far left side of the menu after booting, and then select "About PSP". It will be completely black for a few seconds in the copyright screen, and the bright spot in this state is as obvious as a lamp in the dark.
Of course, no one is perfect, let alone a machine. If the total number of bright spots and bad spots on the screen does not exceed 2 or 3, it doesn't matter, because you won't notice these spots at all when playing games or watching movies. Therefore, if you change a lot of hosts and can't find a machine without bright spots and changing points, you don't have to force it. Even the perfect LCD screen may have bright spots and bad spots after being used for a long time.
Press all the keys to see if they feel sensitive and if there is a problem that they can't bounce back after being pressed. Check whether the keys are sensitive, whether the rebound is normal and whether the power switch is loose.
It's best to put a protective sticker on the love machine immediately after turning it on to avoid ugly scratches on the gorgeous screen.
Ask the seller to post a screen protection sticker for you after the inspection, because it requires certain skills and a relatively dust-free environment, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for novice buyers. The first protective film bought by many novices has become a victim of trial! You know, the price of good protective film is above 50! Because sellers often help buyers shoot films, they are experienced and have a high success rate. If they get a card, they have to change it for you for free. In this way, our buyers save time, effort and money. Why not?
How to choose the most indispensable accessory of PSP-memory stick? Buy accessories around the host.
Playing crack games, watching crack movies, listening to MP3 players and reading e-books ... all of these are inseparable from the support of large-capacity memory sticks. At present, there are seven sizes of memory chips on the market: 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 5 12MB, 1GB and 2GB. For memory chip manufacturers,1MB =1MB =100000 bytes. But for WINDOWS system, = 1048576 bytes. So don't be surprised to find that the actual available capacity is not the exact number written on the outer packaging after buying the memory stick and formatting it.
In fact, the free space of 5 12MB memory stick is about 468MB, and that of 1G memory stick is about 969 MB. You can buy memory chips with appropriate capacity according to your own needs. The capacity of a 3-or 4-minute MTV is about 20-30MB；; ; The capacity of a 45-minute TV series is about120-160 MB; The capacity of a 2-hour movie is about 240-350 MB；; The capacity of an MP3 is about 4 MB; ; The size of the emulator depends on the size of the game ROM. The game size of GBC, SFC and other simulators is generally between 1-4MB. NEOGEO CD games are generally above 100MB.
The capacity of PSP games also depends on the game. Smaller games are only tens of MB, most PSP games are around 200MB-500MB, and the capacity of individual games is even above1g. Everyone should have a bottom in mind when they see these data, right? It is suggested that you should try to choose a memory bank above 1G when economic conditions permit. Because many classic fun games have a capacity of more than 500 megabytes, and some even exceed 1G! Although there are ways to reduce the size of the game by deleting some animations and background music in the original game, the capacity of the memory chip directly affects the refreshing degree of your PSP! If you buy a small memory stick, in order to play new games, you must delete the same interesting old games or your favorite MP3 songs from the memory stick. How painful!
There are two brands of memory sticks available for PSP: Sony and Sandisk. Some players always think that Sony's things are better than SanDisk. In fact, this idea is wrong. As far as memory sticks are concerned, although Sony authorized Sandisk to produce them, Sony itself did not improve the memory stick technology after authorization. Sandisk, a flash memory manufacturer, is very strong in producing storage devices. Through continuous updating, the technical content of SanDisk products can be said to have surpassed Sony's original memory chips.
Experiments show that Sandisk's memory stick completely exceeds Sony's original memory stick in storage and reading speed, but its capacity will be slightly smaller than Sony's. Gamespot's evaluation results also prove this point. Even Sony's high-speed stick is not as fast as SanDisk. In view of the highest cost performance, you don't have to be superstitious about Sony brand to buy memory chips.
Introduction of Sony trademark memory stick
Let's start with Sony's memory stick. At present, the memory stick of Sony brand in the market is extremely chaotic. It is divided into sogo licensed goods, original parallel goods and assembled goods. Suoguang licensed products are authorized by Sony, and there are Suoguang labels on the outer packaging. The quality of this memory stick is guaranteed, but the price is very expensive. The original parallel imports are also genuine, but they have not been formally represented, so there is no warranty. Recently, the very popular assembly rods are not actually produced by Sony, but some underground factories purchase Sandisk chips or defective chips themselves and then sell them on Sony shells. This kind of memory stick is very cheap, but the quality is not guaranteed (the merchant promises to replace it one year) and the transmission speed will not be too high, but some card readers sometimes can't recognize it normally. Whether it is worth buying depends on the player himself.
Let's teach you how to distinguish the original and assembled memory sticks from the appearance:
In terms of external packaging, the picture of the packaging text of the assembling rod is rough, and there is also an anti-counterfeiting logo in the upper left corner, but the packaging of the box is ironed point by point, which means that once it is opened, it cannot be wrapped back. If there is a PSP compatible label, you can 100% confirm that it is an assembled memory stick! For the memory stick itself, if the long red line in the middle of the memory stick shell is printed.
Several problems that must be paid attention to when buying memory sticks.
Sandisk's situation is relatively simple, only licensed and parallel imports, and there are no fakes at present. Moreover, parallel imports and licensed products are easy to distinguish. Pay attention to anti-counterfeiting labels and 800 free telephone inquiries, and you can buy real licensed products. The following is a detailed description of SanDisk authorized products.
SanDisk's agent in China is Shanghai Hongqu, which provides a five-year warranty. At present, the supply of monascus in Shanghai is abundant and easy to buy.
At present, there are a large number of Sony 2G memory chips assembled on the market, and the price is not very expensive. 1 year, the price of the replacement stick is around 850, and the price of the replacement stick in 5 years is around 960. Of course, there are also original Sony 2G memory chips for sale, but the price is almost twice that of assembly. It is said that the storage speed is much slower than the assembly! It is estimated that friends who have no food will not consider it at all.
As to whether to replace the stick of 1 year or replace the stick of 5 years, this is a matter of opinion. In addition to choosing memory sticks, now everyone has another choice, that is, PSP dedicated micro hard disk!
Selection of PSP shell protection equipment
After talking about the memory stick, let's introduce another key accessory-USB data cable. PSP is equipped with high-speed USB data transmission interface, which is convenient for players to transmit large-capacity data between computer and PSP. The quality of USB data cable directly affects the speed and success of data transmission. Sony original data cable has two anti-interference rings, which are of good quality. The second-hand market price is generally around 10-20 yuan. And the digital store will sell 50- 100.
Depending on the degree of recycling, some original data cables sold in stores have only one anti-interference ring or no anti-interference ring, so there is no difference between such cables and assembly lines. But generally speaking, as long as the workmanship is not too bad, the general conference data cable can be used normally. You can ask your boss to give you one when you buy a mainframe. Generally speaking, the store will give you one. After all, changing a repeat customer is not worth a few dollars.
The appearance of PSP is indeed recognized as beautiful, but beautiful does not mean powerful and gorgeous, but it is actually a heart that is easy to get hurt. Anyone who has used PSP knows that small P scratches easily. If you don't pay attention to protection every day, the original gorgeous and dazzling appearance will soon become a cat face. Therefore, it is very necessary to start with the corresponding protection accessories while buying the host! As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle! Spent a lot of money, how to save this little money? Because there are countless protective accessories on the market, it is impossible to list them here, so I just want to introduce some protective accessories I have used online, hoping to give you some reference.
A.PDair's waterproof soft bag
This protective soft bag is waterproof and has a large internal space. PSP can be easily put in after it is fitted with silicone sleeve. In addition, the bag adopts partition design, which makes full use of the internal space, making it possible to accommodate PSP, redundant memory module, UMD disc and mirror cleaning cloth at the same time, and avoiding mutual damage between loaded items. Online original PDair soft package has three colors (black, gray and blue), and the price is between 80- 100. You can choose to buy according to your own preferences.
B.Capdase silicone protective cover
PSP mainframe without protective cover is very easy to get dust and oil stains on fingers. The original Capdase silicone protective cover is specially designed for PSP, which protects all parts of the host to the maximum extent while giving consideration to hand feel and dust prevention, and greatly reduces the damage caused by improper use. The LCD screen and the entrance of UMD CD warehouse are designed to be movable, which is convenient for users to use and can be said to be an excellent weapon to protect PSP! At present, there are two colors (black and white) of silicone protective covers on the market for you to choose from, and the price is between 80- 100. Although PSP didn't lose a lot of luster after wearing silicone cover, it's worth it for Xiao P's lifelong happiness!
Purchase of peripheral products such as HORI and Cadence film.
C.PSP special screen protective film
It is best to buy the screen protective film together with PSP. After all, the screen of PSP is still fragile, and careless use will leave permanent marks on it, which is more harmful than the bad spots on the screen. Players who cherish PSP suggest buying a good screen protective film.
There are original movies and assembled movies on the market. It is suggested to buy the original film, which is much better than the assembled film in transparency and quality, but the assembled film is not transparent enough, which affects the screen display effect. There are two kinds of original membranes, HORI and CAPEDASE, which are good choices with little difference in quality. The price is generally around 50-60 yuan.
Because there are still some technical barriers to crack the PSP system at this stage, if you want to play all the games and watch UMD movie files with a memory stick, you have to buy a genuine UMD game disk as a startup disk. Only in this way can your memory stick play its full role! At present, there are very cheap UMD DEMO CD on the market, and the price ranges from 80- 100 yuan. It's perfect for a startup disk! Friends in need can search on Taobao. In order to watch UMD movies and play all the cracking games, the money is still worth spending!
UMD demo discs are given away as not for sale in Japan, and domestic JS will come in and sell such discs at low prices.
In addition to the above accessories, you can also buy a second original lithium battery or other portable external power supply to increase the endurance of the host. It can be said that as long as you have enough rice, it is impossible to buy all the accessories around the PSP, because the surrounding manufacturers have seen the good sales prospects of the PSP and constantly launched various accessories according to the needs of different players. I believe one of them will win your heart, so go online and pick it slowly!
That's all we have to introduce about the purchase of the mainframe. This article aims to introduce you to some basic knowledge and experience of purchasing PSP. Among them, I refer to the posts posted by many enthusiastic people on the forum, and then deal with them myself. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings and mistakes.
