Software and Hardware -> PSP help...

Mobile phones aren't on a WiFi connection. Since they are phone lines, they use that to connect to the internet. Kind of like dialup. I've never used a PDA, but I know a laptop needs a connection. Wether it's wired or wireless, you can't pull internet out of the air. Same goes for the PSP.

Unless you show me a laptop that pulls internet out of thin air, then I will continue to say, it needs a hotspot. It needs to be around some sort of connection.

No, it isn't pointless. It's for those that NEED multiple connections, like me. Why would you want your WiFi to reach way out across the city?

1. That would be a bigass antenna.

2. ALOT of people would be stealing your internet.

Every hot spot you go to will have a short distance of WiFi.

Besides, if you plan on playing games online, you'll want that WiFi.

Ok, for your answer, I'll need an answer myself. Do you have a broadband internet account and a wireless router?

Windows 98 doesn't have the right drivers that support the PSP. I'm sorry, but I don't have what you need. If you want, you can hit up http://www.thepspnation.com/forums. They will be glad to help you.

I believe it's mp4.

Check out this program:

It pretty much takes any video file and converts it into a complient PSP video file.

I knew about WEP (Didn't about WPA, but I don't have 2.0), I just thought it was worth a shot since one of the links I posted mentioned it as a possible solution.

Just so you don't waste your time, don't bother messing with your LAPTOP in order to get your PSP to work. It has NOTHING to do with it. Unless, of course, it's getting internet fine. THEN you should try and check the settings on it and just copy them over to your PSP((when I say this, cause I know someone will ask the question, I mean MANUALLY do it, you can't just zap them over)).

The PSP supports WEP, and even WPA((but it's glitchy I here, Sony has to work that out)). So, he should be fine.

If you don't know how to set up that stuff, then this will be fairly difficult. For starters, check the manual first:

Look under Settings and Network Settings in the Manual Chapter listing. I don't know anything about your wireless router so it's hard to go into any more detail.

Yeah, In the GAME folder, make a folder called UPDATE and put the EBOOT.PBP in there. Make sure you have atleast 50% power and the power cord is plugged in and run the update.

This web page explains how to update your PSP: Disregard the fact that it says 1.52, it'll work with 2.0

Just save the eboot file you got from the Japan PSP site into the Update folder on your Memory Stick.

Move the cursor over the text input feild and click X. The keyboard will appear on-screen.

Open WHAT file?

Yes, I've ran into that problem. Normally I try again and it works. Hasn't happend recently. Make sure your router isn't encrypted or password protected or anything. Make sure your PSP connection settings are correct. Usually, using automatic settings work pretty good, but sometimes you need to input things.

Through the Japanese site, as they STILL have not released the NA update((was suppose to come out Monday)).

Ignoring the warning in the red text. Scroll down and click the button that says Update With Personal Computer. Then scroll down a bit and you should see a button that says "DOWNLOAD". These buttons are in English, oddly enough.
