any good rpg's for the psp?Follow

Crisis Core was superb IMO.

Both Star Oceans. Disgaea.

I think they remade Rivera for the psp. It was good on the gba, so I'd assume it's good on the psp.

Disgaea, same as above.

I think there might be a few Tales games on the psp, but I don't remember for certain.

I don't think I'd want to trust anyone who puts God of War at number 1, personally.

Did you mean to write this? I think you need another negative in there.

Though that does make ore sense that games would be sorted by popularity there, if they don't do their own reviews.

I just.. uggh, God of War.

Crimson Gem Saga is a generic turn based RPG, it has a skill tree system that you learn with ability points earned through battle. Quest system from town, etc. I played it and it was fairly decent, worth a try. My brother beat it and said it was short and got pretty easy near the end. But then again, most RPGs get fairly easy after you grind a bit.

There's Mana Khemia Student Alliance. RPG with an alchemy synthesis system. I haven't gotten very far with this game, but it seems fun.

Stay away from Class of Heroes, unless you are a fan of old style labyrinth RPGs like Wizardry. I found this game to be horrid and could not even play past the first random battle.

Disgaea 2 is coming out too.

I wish Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep would come out :(

And if you are a fan of Shin Megami Tensei it'll be out soon.

I liked Jeanne D'arc even though I hated the fact that the fights had turn limits. I like playing around during battle too much, and a turn limit really messes with that.

There's Tales of the World, Radiant Mythology. A decent Tales game.

Valkyrie Profile many people liked it, I found it interesting but the whole thing of the Valkyrie Profile games kinda throws me off. My first one I tried was for the DS, and while an interesting twist, I ended up not caring for it too much.

Brave Story, New Traveler. Generic. My brother played it for a while, it kept him busy. But games like this is why it's good to try before you buy. I hear the PSN has Demos of some games available... I wonder if

Phantasy Star Portable is fun if you have a person you can play multiplayer with. I believe it only utilizes direct PSP to PSP wireless connections, not WiFi, so you can only play locally, not of the internet.






There is no reason to upgrade. The 2000 and 3000 models have more memory (64MB instead of 32MB, or something like that) but it's only really useful if you are running homebrew stuff on your PSP, and even then not that useful. The 1000 and most of the 2000 models are easier to modify for homebrew purposes. But all of them, 1000, 2000, and 3000, can be modified in varying ways for homebrew.

If you decided to install custom firmware, not only would you have some of the pretty decent RPG's already listed in this thread, but you would also have access to pretty much everything pre-ps2. Was in a long car ride to a wedding and back today and yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the trip because I had GTA2 and Castlevania: SOTN eboots. I came home with X-COM: UFO Defense, Chrono Cross, and Saga Frontier 2 downloaded and awaiting conversion.

PSP is beyond win.

I think the 2000s and 3000s have TV out.

But really that was never important to me. And I'd rather have a PSP 1000 with custom firmware than a 3000 with TV Out. The 3000, while homebrew capable, is not nearly as nice as the 1000 and 2000, since it cannot be completely modified the way the older ones can.

XD

When you need help for setting up a CFW, come back here. There are a few of us that can help you.
I've never cracked a 2000 model. The only thing I can suggest is if you plan on trying to run on CFW later, to not update your Firmware. It probably is already, but the lower the OFW is, the easier it is to crack (unless there has been some easier hacks found, I had to use a tool to do it).

That is a pretty good guide. You will need the Tool Battery if you are on OFW 3.51+, DX has it for under $7 and S&H is free. I ordered mine through them and it took maybe a week to get to me.

Wint has a good guide on how to hack it too.

And it woooooooooooooooorks~

As this topic seems to be about this, I'm wondering what programs people use on their PSPs to run other games? Currently all I can figure out how to run is SNES, but I'm looking for Gameboy Advance (for Mother 3), Genesis (For the Phantasy Star series), and obvious PS1 (Wild ARMs, Suikoden, etc etc ...) and what I find I'm having problems with. So, if anyone has and has working personally and could do a step by step, it would be appreciated. Especially PS1.

cool, i didn't know about there being a hack for 2000 & 3000 w/o the tool now.

I run snes, nes, gba, and sega gen on my PSP. And then some neat home brew tools/games (I have a Daft Punk mixer. it is kind of neat).

I use the site qj.net (dl.qj.net is the download page).

If you have a Emu working, the set up is about the same for the others. But I'm not sure on PSX, as I don't emu them...I have a modded-psx
