The LBP PSP General Info Topic

Taffey is right, if you buy a cable for your PSP-2000/3000 make sure it has five plugs. I wasted my money on a 3-plug one that only seemed to be able to display the menu before getting a five plug one that allows you to play games. Also, I think there is the slightest delay in the audio. Nothing big, but enough to mess you up when you are playing Patapon.

Does anyone know if there is an option to make your own in-game pictures? They might have an export to Memory stick option if they do.

I can't tell by the screenshots so far, but I am pretty sure that there are two half planes between actual planes.

Now I remember I originaly had a 5 cable one, but it didn't work, either I was clueless on how to do it (and must've thought it didn't work cause its not HDTV).

Also for the TV downstairs (where my PS3 and Capture card is) I had to attach a RFU converter (or whatever its called, curse my memory, that TV has only one hole, and the converter made it 3, with the red,yellow and white holes)

Video out using the 3-plug cable with my Go works great, including playing games. I've been playing Gran Turismo PSP on my full size TV this way for the past couple weeks. Add to the mix the Go's ability to use a PS3 Bluetooth controller, and it's just like having another console.

So anyway, in-game still and video capture should be a snap, provided of course you have a Go and the proper screen capture setup.

Those are some of the main reasons I wanted the Go, but in the end I just did not have enough money to get it, so I just bought a 16 gb memory stick.

I do not know if my PSP cable will work with a non-widescreen TV, since I have not tried it. I will test it out later today to see if it works.

EDIT: Works just fine, but I think I see where you messed up. Go to the connected display settings on the main menu of the PSP, make sure it is set to progressive scan.

Also, a five plug plug converter will only work with 5-holed input. I am not sure if they make a converter for that, but if you want to search for one I believe the 5-holed input is called a D-terminal.

Added a HUGE amount of stuff. I've added links to the LBP PSP diaries over on LittleBigWorkshop and i've added new interviews and videos that I've found.

[Darth J464]

Could you add some info about the merchandise to the front page? Like how there is a PSP case for 1000-3000 coming out with a plush sackboy, or that there is going to be a strategy book that contains walkthroughs for both the PSP version and the GOTY version.

For those of you interested I collected all the impressions of the PSP version of people who played it at the Eurogamer Expo and summarised them here.

Yeah, I got the same impressions when I played it. I didn't get to do create mode very much (I was playing on an early version and it crashed after I tried to lay something down). I can always go back and cut out the holes I need. Do you know if the corner editing tool is locked to the grid also?

[Syroc]

I don't I just summarized all the impressions I could find and added my own thoughts every now and then.

Added a new preview on gamespot

Down to 2 weeks!

I'm guessing (sad but true) people on the interent are gonna wind up pirating it and uploading vids of it before the real thing comes out, which will wind up posted on LBPC. If this does happen, its probably gonna be as bad as the whole leaked water video incident.

Oh by the way (hoping this doesn't lead the thread off topic again on connecting PSP's to TV's )

I finally figured out why games couldn't work on my TVs (which was why i couldn't record). On PSP 2000's, Composite cables (the 3 plug one) won't work for playing games on TVs (and most capture cards and TV's can only use Composite). But my Dazzle could also use S-Video cables as well. So I could either import a S-Video PSP Cable (they're only available in Europe) or get a PSP 3000 (all cables will work on TVs, and Capture Cards). I decided to go with the latter, since my old PSP, has gotten quite a beaten over the years (UMD drive makes loud noisees when running), and I could keep the old PSP as a backup or give it to my brother for Christmas.

But now I'm all set up to record LBP PSP videos
I did a sample video to test out the quality

Are we gonna have Community Spotlights for the PSP too?

Cool! BTW, how easy is it to install and use a capture card? I am thinking that I might get one eventually.

[JKthree]

Installing it on the computer is a cinch, just like how some flash drives have software for running it. Connecting it to the system is the tricky part, cause you gotta get a whole bunch of connecters, cables and Y-adapters. And it seems there's a bunch of ways too. But the general idea is to have a Y-adapter split it up so there's 3 paths: 1 goes to the Capture Card (which is attached to the PC or laptop), 1 to the TV, and 1 to the Game system (for the PSP you can just plug it the PSP cable directly to the Capture Card, but some software that comes with the capture card only has it on a very tiny screen, so you are better off just connecting it like how i mentioned above with the 3 way)

And it seems there are many types of these cables used so if you don't watch it you might waste money. Try watching a bunch of Youtube videos and see (thats what I did, but i watched a whole lot to get it all right)

Okay I think I've said enough (don't want to drive this thread off topic again)

Perhaps I'll add a thread in the tutorials section bout capture cards in the future (can i do that?)

[ARD•]

PSP is the easiest to capture, you can do it with a USB cable and everything else is software.

You'll need to be on M33 or some other custom firmware though.

[Darth J464]

Eh, I don't really want to have anything to do with custom firmware.

[ARD•]

Suit yourself, but you're missing out on a hell of a lot.

Added a video I found of the intro level and the new development diary and a link to a review.
