About Me



My names Dan. I live in Melbourne.
I love gaming, and I love guitar, though I don't get as much time to do as much of either as I'd like between working and living.

I'm a Graphic Designer, I love my Metal.

I've got some of my art and design work up here.



I've also got a few T-Shirt designs online too, check it.






I'm also part of a podcast, a very unofficial one. Made by Aussies for Aussie Dtoiders and other Dtoiders who like to listen to Aussie Dtoiders. Check that shit out.

That's about it.

My psp dillema solved, thankyou Dtoid!

I did it. Downgraded my PSP to 1.5 so I could use homebrew.

Admittedly, I wasn't that impressed at first, the idea of snes and nes emu's isn't anything too remarkable, but then I stumbled upon something that has had me glued to my PSP for the past week, the CPS2 emulator.

It's fucking awesome. I'm getting the chance to play all of these games that I've either never had the chance to play in arcades, or it's just been so damn long I can barely remember what they were like, plus I'm discovering some unreal games i didn't even know existed like Armoured Warriors and GigWing.

For everyone that suggested that Homebrew was the way to go with the PSP, thankyou!

Now the thanks is out there, I've got 2 questions that I've been unable to answer through my searches, and I'm hoping that Dtoid might be kind enough to show me the way once more.

1. As I've had to downgrade my firmware to 1.5, is there any app that I can download to allow me to continue to play my PSP games that require software upgrades, or am i just doomed.

2. Are there any other emus or apps out there that are likely to bring me as much happiness and joy as the CPS2 emu?


As a final note, I'll say that I think I'm now addicted to Super Puzzle Fighter. I never played it before lastnight, but then I figured that I'd give it a quick go, and then 2 hours of my life just dissapeard. oh my god.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Try googling about Dark Alex's new custom firmware. There are tutorials out there thatll give you step-by-step instructions on how to do it. The custom firmware guarantees you to access the latest apps made by the homebrew community.

Download ScummVm for your PSP. It will let you play most of the old LucasArts adventure games. (Excluding Grim Fandango and Monkey Island 4)

Alright man, you'll want to get your PSP running 3.90M33. What this means, is that A) You get all the features of the newest firmware, B) You can play all your new games and C) You can also run PSX games on the thing.

So first of all you'll want to upgrade to 3.52M33 Guide can be found here: http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-firmware-discussion-253/t-guide-installing-352360-m33-custom-firmware-get-help-here-114268.html
Then you'll want to go up to 3.90M33, guide here: http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-firmware-discussion-253/t-guide-installing-390-m33-custom-firmware-get-help-here-includes-150-add-on-134053.html

If you any other questions, feel free to drop me a PM.

The only sad part is that you can't experience ALL arcade games. Thanks for my new blog topic btw!

take maccas advice, QJ is your number 1 stop for all downloads relating to PSP

Also bookmark PSPmod.com as it has live chat and an awesome forum if you ever have any problems or want to know any specifics.

Glad you decided to join the ranks of PSP Homebrewers :D

Now find a buddy with a PSP and AD-HOC mode your emulators and play some multiplayer roms yo!
