I never use my PSP anymore. I saw the website about turning it into a PDA. I also saw the psp hacks website with homebrew games. Other than using it as a Skype phone I don't have many ideas.
What useful things have you guys done with PSP's?

Re: PSP Home Brew
I heard the psp is on it's way out, and that's a shame, there's some powerful hardware in that thing, I honestly love my psp and use it everyday while i'm taking the bus to work. Once you get around to installing the custom firmware it's nothing but old school emulation from there, i have a 8 gig stick on mine and have the following emulators.
sega genesis / sega cd
nes
gameboy advanced
Super nes
I also have the cables that i can connect the psp to my lcd tv. it's crazy.

Re: PSP Home Brew
To be fair, the PSP will basically do three things well. Games, videos, music. If you're looking for something more it won't really work that well for you.
And turning it into a Skype phone requires you to be connected to a wifi network anyway, so it's not that great of a feature.

+1 to custom firmware. It's well worth the little trouble that it actually is to install it.
Re: PSP Home Brew
I'm just now getting time to play with the PSP tonight. What are some decent home brew games I should have on my list?
Re: PSP Home Brew
The PSPs official Sony supported life may be ending soon, but its new life as a portable mecca of emulators and awsomeness is just starting. Hackers will be sucking out every ounce of coolness PSP in the coming years. Something Sony was too stupid to embrace. Support for the PSP as a open development machine should have been done years ago. Instead they tried shutting down homebrew support. It proved to be a very dum decision. DS development is easy and cheap hence why developers flock to it. Embracing homebrew would have made the PSP even cheaper to develop for. Their greed is what made the PSP a failure not the hardware. And its a damn shame, they could have pushed the platform to its limits by supporting open development or at least been friendlier to the homebrew community.
