Ultimate mobile surround sound:
Use the following instructions to play your PSP games and movies
with the ultimate surround sound. You will need a FM modulator, a
cable with a male stereo 1/8" headphone connector at one end and
split left and right RCA connectors at the other. The red wire with
the inline fuse goes to your car battery or switch. The ground wire
grounds to the frame. Set the cars CD or tape deck to the FM
frequency that is on the modulator, which usually is 88.7 or 89.1.
Plug the RCA connectors from the cabe into the RCA jacks on the
modulator. Plug the headphone end of the cable into the PSP. Turn
on the PSP. The PSPs sound goes through your cars antenna. No wires
are required hook it up to your cars head unit. Your games and
movies sound will now play through your cars stereo speakers.
Charge from PlayStation2:
Get a USB cable that includes a charging cable normally used to
charge your PSP through your PC. Plug the cable into the USB port
on a PlayStation2 and the other end into the PSP. Turn on the
PlayStation2. The orange charging indicator on your PSP should
light up.
Full screen wallpaper:
If you have firmware version 2.0 or greater and are using a picture
as your wallpaper, use the following trick if you have space to the
left and right of the screen that the picture does not cover. To
get rid of that space, go into the "Photos" section and view the
picture you want to use. Zoom in on it until the picture takes up
the entire screen, then press Triangle and choose "Set as
wallpaper". When you exit back to the main menu, your picture will
now take up the entire screen.
Listen to music without having to stay on the
icon:
Press Select after choosing a song. It will remain playing on your
main screen, so you can go and look at your background or go to
games as the PSP still plays the music. However, if you click on an
icon it will stop playing. If you click again, it will go into the
selected icon.
Soft reset:
To reset a game, hold L + R + Start. Some games will take you to
the title screen and others may take you to the main menu.
