For some reason I cant bring myself to buy another psp game cause of the upgrading (you can downgrade from 2.6 but I heard it takes more ) And I want to keep on emulating. So im just playing gta lc and guility gear x 2 on mine still.
But I sure as hell as been eyeing for a copy mmx maverick hunter.

i took the plunge and upgraded from 1.5 to 2.6 just so i could play mmx ih. with megaman powered up and other games coming- i hated to lose my emus! but i figured if i ever wanted to play another game that was designed for the psp i would need to update sooner or later! and mmx is awesome! but i miss my emus.. oh well-theyll crack it sooner or later..

DJ Max Portable, and also Initial D as soon as it arrives. With Outrun Coast 2 Coast coming in March anyway, it was pretty much a given that I would update the firmware to 2.6. I'm not missing that one just for some emulators with a shit d-pad. Ha ha.

SSX: On Tour mostly. I haven't gotten a new game in a while, I think I should. I'm mostly watching the Family Guy UMDs.

DJ Max Portable, although it only requires firmware 2.0. I also have been watching the Family Guy UMDs. :)

GTA LC is the only game I own for the system. I expect it will take me a while to get through it. I love the GTA games and often spend time doing pointless things like building up my wanted level and trying to get it down again. I am amazed they were able to put so much of Liberty City on to a UMD. I haven't noticed anything missing.

I just got DJ Max Portable and it has been amazing. Any fan of music games that has a PSP should try it out.

I just got Mega Man Mavrick Hunter X. It's awsome!
I've given up on homebrew for the time being. I have to many other ways to play "emus" on the go to care about it on the PSP any more.

Ultimate block party here. Its a fun puyo pop variation. It definetly has addicting qualities. its also 25 buck ;)
I havn't touched my PSP in awhile. I got bored of Kingdom of Heaven and Frantix was only fun for soo long. I do plan on getting Tales of Eternia whenever the hell it's released here.

I had homebrew for a little while, but gave it up for the RSS feeds in 2.6, of which I use a lot. Downloading podcasts is a really great feature for the PSP.
I want to get Ultimate Block Party, the local game store can't find it for me - the bastards.
I have been playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, and Hot Shots Golf lately.
Bust-A-Move Ghost is Europe and Japan only, so I may import that.
The next two I am sure I will pick up are Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code and Capcom Classics Collection Remixed.

I was bored and tried that out today, put on the sampler first and I've been slowly adding stuff. I never thought of trying it until I read you post..Thanks :)

I've yet to buy a PSP game since I bought it in June. Metal Gear Acid came with it which I quickly sold due to it being terrible at best. A friend of mine gave me Ridge Racer so that the only UMD I own. I am interested in Capcom classics collection however and will most likely pick that up when it released.

I don't use mine very often. But i have been playing Burnout: Legends now and then.
Either that or Super Punch Out, by emulation.

GTA Liberty City Stories still hasn't left my PSP since release. It's killing me too because I've got a stack of great PSP games staring me in the face begging to be played. No, that wasn't a joke.

Now i'm playing Pursuit Force, i hated to update, i really want the emulators back. I think i will buy another PSP for the emulators. No, i'm not kidding, and yes, i have thought of downgrading and the GTA loader, but the GTA loader doesn't play SNES games.

I am playing a lot of the following PSP games:
Me and my Katamari
Taito Memories Pocket
Exit
These games are all great fun, but they still don't hold a candle to my DS playing. Brain Age rocks! Keeps me coming back every day.

I got Katamari before I got a PSP. It's been the game i've spent 97% of my time playing. I did play about 20 minutes of Ultimate Block Party today, and the other 4 games have yet to still even be touched.

This man speaks the truth.
Mostly, I've been playing Outrun. Lots and lots of Outrun. In fact, I'm playing it right now.

I've been looking for another good PSP racing game...
I'm curious, how is Outrun?
I'm assuming you like it since you've been playing it, but can you give me some details? Is it ridiculously hard? Graphics? Control?
I got World Rally Championship, and I was pretty dissapointed with it. The controls are horrendous. You can't help but oversteer. It's so bad, you end up ping-ponging your car back and forth across the track. Either your car goes straight, or it's trying to do a 90-degree turn, there is no in-between, and d-pad or analog, the control just plain sucks. What's worse is that you cannot change the controls or button configuration in any way.
I'm so desperate for a PSP rally racing game, I'm considersing importing Colin Mcrae, but I'm scared of wasting another $50.00. Anybody try it yet?

It's great fun. They did a pretty good job of cramming the arcade version's graphics onto the PSP's rendering hardware. Color dithering is a bit noticeable, and they cut corners on some car models to reduce poly counts, and frame rate dips slightly in REALLY busy spots, but none of this makes it difficult to play.
Control might be a little tricky if you're not used to playing it with a wheel or good analog stick, but since most of the game is just "pick-up-and-go" like the arcade version, it's not like you'll be pulling your hair out because of some final championship race. Unless of course you want to do the Flagman Challenge races, but those appear to be fully optional.
I'd say get it, since it'll only be $30 when it comes out here in the US this week, so I'm told.

I have a stock 1.5 firmware also and it does kinda suck not being able to play the newer games. I've been playing a lot of Metal Gear Acid and Gretzky NHL. I'm enjoying the emulators too much to upgrade though, as is my girlfriend. I see her grabbing the PSP and playing Ducktales (nes) when she's bored. I just got a newer PSP on ebay to play 2.6 games. I'm looking forward to playing Metal Gear Acid 2 and Capcom Classics Collection Remixed.
