anyway to auto search for a hotspot through wipepout?

[xdyingforitx]

ihave saved hot spots where i can connect through the wipeout browswer with the fugimax DNS, and it works great, but i was wondering if there is a way i can open the wipeout browswer and autosearch for a hotspot so everytime i want a new one i dont have to save it in my connections, if anyone has any ideas or accomplished this lemme know, thanks guys

[cody]

okay i just figured this out...

open the download screen in WP and it will show all your saved spots...
press direction button up and you will see new connection,..
scan from there.. find a good spot with no WEP...
save and you are done!

Firmware, what you should know, and need to know.
For starters, Firmware is what you could call the PSP's OS. The firmware contains such things as the MP3 Player, the Photo Viewer, and other features found on your PSP. The PSP's Firmware is stored on what's called a "Flash Disk."

Now, when Sony finds bugs, or flaws in the OS, they release new updates and upgrades to the firmware. There different firmware versions.

What do the different Firmware Versions mean?
A lot. At this time, only PSP's with Version 1.0 and 1.50 Firmware can run what's called "Unsigned Code." What does this mean? It means that Version 1.0 and 1.50 PSP's can run all the Home-made applications and games you can find here on the site!

Here's an example of the encryption: When you boot up a application with version 1.0 or 1.50 using KXploit , the PSP says: "Oki doki." But when you boot up an application with ether version 1.51, or 1.52, the PSP says "Oki doki...you want me to run this? What's the secret password?" If the program doesn't give the PSP the password, then the PSP wount even fully start the program, and it'll boot you right back to the home-menu.

Why doesn't someone just crack the password?
Because it's in 128 bit (maybe more? Not sure on this) RSA Encryption. What's this mean? It means it's a royal pain in the arse to get the password. Royal...royal...pain, if not technically impossible (I don't know much about hacking passwords, so I MAY be wrong on this one. Laughing )

So how do I know which Firmware I have?
Just goto the PSP's main menu, then goto the following menu's: ~Settings ~System Settings ~System Information


Then you should see where it says: System Software Version x.xx (The x.xx will change, depending on what version you have, of course)

WHA?! I can't run anything! I have Version 1.51 or higher!
That's right! Trust me, you're stuck on the same boat as a LOT of people. But that doesn't mean you have to give up hope! People across the entire GLOBE are working towards getting home-made applications to run on Version 1.51 or higher. ^^ So just stick in there. The PSP hacking and modifying genre is still in it's infancy.

So why not just do a roll-back on the Firmware?
Unfortunatly, at this time, no one knows how to perform a roll-back on the PSP's firmware. Hence the real main problem. ._.' That's one of the common goals that everyone's trying to reach.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, What Is a UMD Disk?
The Universal Media Disc is Sony¡¯s proprietary technology that works exclusively on their PSP handheld gaming console. With 1.8 gigabytes of storage capability, a universal media disc would be a great medium for consumers to store large amounts of their personal data to use on the PSP. Although Sony hasn¡¯t announced any plans for recordable universal media discs, this would be a great opportunity for PSP users.

The outside of the universal media disc is protected by a hard shell with a small portion of the shell cutout to allow for playback. The disc is approximately half the size of an actual CD. The universal media disc¡¯s 128-bit encryption keys works alongside the PSP to create a secure environment for the disc¡¯s content. That will please developers and studios who are desperately trying to protect their work from piracy.

The UMD Specifications:
Dimensions: 2.5¡± width x .16¡± height x 2.5¡± diameter
Weight: .35 ounces
Disc Diameter: 2.36¡± (60 millimeter)
Maximum Capacity: 1.8 gigabytes (single sided, dual layer)
Laser Wavelength: 660mm (Red Laser)
Encryption: AES 128bit
UMD Audio: MP3, ATRAC3Plus, PCM, MPEG4 AVC



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, What is this Memory Stick Duo?
The Memory Stick Duo, which is slightly smaller than the competing Secure Digital format and roughly ¨ø the length of the standard form factor, was developed in response to Sony's need for a smaller flash memory card for pocket-sized digital cameras and cell phones, as well as Sony's PSP handheld game console. Memory Stick Duos are available in all the same variants as their larger cousins: normal ones limited to 128 MB, higher capacity Pro Sticks (called Memory Stick Pro Duo in the Duo form factor), with and without High Speed mode, and with and without MagicGate support. There's also a simple adapter (often sold along with the Memory Stick Duo) which allows a Duo to be used in any device that can accept its larger cousins.

The Memory Stick Duo/Pro Duo Specifications:
Transfer: 160 Mbit/s (20 MB/s)
Minimum write speed: 15 Mbit/s
Maximum write speed: 80 Mbit/s (High Speed Pro Duo)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, What is the PSP it self means?

What IS It?
As its name suggests, the PSP -- or PlayStation Portable -- is a smaller, lighter version of Sony's PlayStation. It's as powerful as the PS2 and it has a built-in screen and speakers so you don't have to plug it in to anything to use it.

As with the full-size PlayStation2, which can play DVDs and audio CDs as well as PlayStation game discs, the PSP is more than just a gaming handheld. The PSP plays games in UMD (or Universal Media Disc) format, but UMD format is also used for movies and other audio-visual content, and the PSP can pay those, too. And if that isn't enough, the PSP can also play audio, video, and still image content off of Memory Sticks (Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo are the compatible formats).

Unlike the PlayStation or PlayStation2, the PSP comes equipped with Wi-Fi, so you can connect with other players wirelessly and, if your firmware is version 2.00 or higher, get online to browse the internet. Sony has also announced an add-on camera and a GPS device for use with the PSP, expanding its capabilities even further.

What Does It All Mean?
Basically, what all these fancy specs come down to is a kick-ass handheld gaming machine with amazing graphics for its size, that can also play movies and music, display photos and image files, surf the web and, with every new firmware release, even more cool stuff. Phew!

As for whether or not you should buy one . . . well, you'll have to decide for yourself, but I've never regretted buying mine.

Now, I told you everything you need to know. So those pesty questions everyone ask?

How you put music on your PSP?
Ok, Here are the steps to download music to your PSP...

1.)Connect the PSP to your PC with a USB cable. (about $10: buy a USB cable for your PSP)

2.)Press the "home" button on the PSP (it's a tiny button to the lower left of the screen) then use the left-right directional buttons to find "Settings", then the up-down buttons to find "USB Connection" on the PSP.

3.)Press the "X" button (you got it, the round button with the "X" on it) and your PSP should display "USB Connection".

4.)In a moment or two your computer should tell you that a new USB device has been connected, then show you a new generic hard drive, usually E: or F:

5.)Click on the drive letter that corresponds to the PSP unit.

6.)Now create a new folder on that drive and name it "psp".

7.)Within the new "psp" folder create another folder, and name it "music".

8.)Copy your desired mp3 files into the new "music" folder.

9.)When you're done copying your desired music tracks, press the "O" button on the PSP to get out of USB connect mode.

Now you're ready to go! Use the left-right arrows to move to the music area, then the up-down arrows to find "Memory Stick". Chose that folder by pressing the "X" button again, and you should be able to find all your favorite music!

Note! That the PSP running older firmware (firmware is the "operating system" of the PSP) does not support any Windows Media formats i.e WMA & WMV, so any music you have in that format must be converted to MP3 before copying to your PSP. Fortunately, Sony's very own Image Converter 2.1 can convert all your music with a very simple GUi and will then also manage all the measuring and transfering for you too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet on PSP? How you use it?

You are definitely not alone in your quest to get the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) device successfully connected to the Internet. In fact, it's hard enough that this is probably one of the most common questions I see here at PSPHome.com, so I think it deserves a long, full explanation. If you follow along step-by-step, I'm sure you'll succeed.

First off, you need to get to the main menu from wherever you are on your PSP. You can do that by pressing the Home button, a tiny button just to the lower left of the screen.

Now you'll want to move left (pressing the "<" button) until you get to Settings, then down (pressing the "V" button) until you get to
Network Settings:



Now you'll have two choices: "Ad Hoc" is when you want to connection two PSPs together with any sort of Internet wifi base station / access point involved, and "Infrastructure Mode" is when you connect to your local wifi device. The latter's what we want:



You'll probably only have the one choice of New Connection, but if you don't, choose it anyway



First option is to specify a mnemonic connection name. The default here is "Connection 2" but yours might be "Connection 1", or similar. I recommend you actually enter a different name so you'll be able to remember what location works where.



To enter a new connection name, press the "X" button and you'll get to the "keyboard" screen:



When you're done struggling to enter your selected name :-) move to the green "Enter" box and press the "X" button. Now you'll be ready for the big important step: a Network Scan:



If everything's working well with your device and you've turned on the WLAN switch you'll see the following status message:



Hopefully, you'll see at least one network listed, if not more. If you don't see any networks, then you're out of luck. If the only networks you see have some sort of security setting, either WPA or WEP, then you must know the security password to access that network.

Once you're ready, the next step you'll want to take is to select an access point:



In this case I'm going to select Steve Hardesty since it's the strongest network with the Security setting of "None":



Now you'll have a chance to confirm your security setting from the different choices. Notice that the default is just about always the correct choice, which you can select by pushing the ">" button again and again:



Now you can also step right past the Address Settings:



You'll get a confirmation screen that shows all the settings you've specified:



Press the ">" button again, and you'll be able to save your settings:



That's what you'll want to do: press "X".

Now, the most important step in the process - to Test Connection.



You'll most definitely want to do this! Press "X" to start the test...



If something's wrong, you might end up seeing this:



If you do see that, then try moving closer to the wifi access point and rerunning the test, perhaps that'll fix things. Otherwise, try a different network connection.

Hopefully, however, you'll find that your connection works just fine:



If you've gotten here, congratulations, you're online!

Let's just quickly test it by going online and checking the latest news. Again press Home but this time use the ">" button to move all the way to the right, then "V" to go down to Internet Browser:



Since you've already specified a connection, it'll use that:



Everything should work just fine, and you'll either get to a blank page, the default page for your Web browser, or the page you've specified as your default. In my case, it's Google News:



That's all you need to it!

Today many people got new PSPs, and some also don't know how to put movies on their PSPs. I am a newbie too, and i've spent a day for searching some techniques. There are a lot of file formats such as AVI, RM, Divx, MPEG etc., and movies must be converted to mp4 format to be used on the PSP. This guide will tell you how to convert and transfer movies to PSP.


CONVERT MOVIES TO PSP MPEG4(MP4) FILE
~Click the file below~
1.)Download a powerful Software.(I Perfer to use I'm TOO PSP Video Converter. It's the best one I every used) and install it

2.)Open the application and click "Add" to select files you want to convert or drag them to your app.

Figure 1:


3.)You can see the "profile" (for select the output file formats) click this and choose the right format you want to convert. Moreover if you use ImTOO PSP video converter you can set different formats for different files. e.g. select "mp3" for one file, select "PSP MPEG4 Video(.mp4)" for another file.

Figure 2:


.Then you can modify the file setting if you wish, and you also can keep the default one.

Video:
Video size:368x208, 320x240, 160x112
Bit rate:768,512,384Kbps
Frame rate:29.97fps, 14.985fps

Audio:
Sample rate:24KHz
Bit rate:64,96,128,160Kbps

Click "Save as" button to give your file a proper name.

Figure 3:


5.Select the output path for your files.

6.Click "Encode" to convert the files.If you want to convert all selected files, click "Start Ripping"; and if you want to convert a selected file, right-click the file name and select "Encode Selected Items(s)".

Figure 4:


Now, you've already converted *.avi(...) to *.mp4 files. Next,you should transfer those files to your PSP.

TRANSFER PSP MPEG4(MP4) FILES TO YOUR PSP
1.Select "PSP Video Manager"(Tools->psp video manager).

2.Click "Browse" button to select the files(mp4) and click "Copy" or "Move" to transfer your PSP MPEG4(mp4) files to your PSP.

Figure 5:


Generally speaking, some software also support clip or segment conversion. It means you can convert any segment at your will. For example, set "start time" as 00:04:30 and "duration time" as 00:02:10, then you can get a segment from 00:04:30 to 00:06:40.

Figure 6:
Start Time:00:02:00
Duration:00:01:20


Okay, You are all done. Enjoy your movies on your psp

Nice guide for the newcomers, but you can downgrade (roll-back) any firmware up to and including 2.8 through one of several different downgrader apps.

TA-82 hardware version PSPs running firmware 2.71 or below can now also be downgraded.
