My main investment of the week has been a PSP. I've been tempted for some time, and when DevHook came out for firmware 2.71 I was finally convinced. Now you can have a 2.71 PSP (the latest is 2.81) and still run 1.5 firmware via flash. Hence homebrew is quite achievable, an advantage which the PSP clearly won over the DS Lite.

Of course, the requirement for 2.71 did mean buying second hand, so there are a few scratches on the screen. On the other hand it did mean the giga-pack was cheaper than the new base pack, so one can't really complain. The downside is that now I've installed a MegaDrive emulator Polly keeps swiping it to play Sonic the Hedgehog.

So I'm very happy with it, bar Sony's continual attempts to wipe out homebrew. If it had a touchscreen it would be perfect. I've also picked up a few games - Lemmings, which is still superb, Lumines and the ever classic Ridge Racer. Lumines is fantastic, although a little buggy - suspend the device while playing and upon the end of the game it will prompt you to load the profile, overwriting your new high-score and unlocked items. Whoops.

I've also tried the whole one demo available - LocoRoco. Decidedly weird, set to j-pop and lots of fun, although not really what you'd expect on the PSP. Well worth a try though.

My other investment for the week was a Flickr Pro account, and as such I'm uploading all 3.5Gb of my photo collection. Once completed there should be some more of interest there, especially for friends. Stay tuned.
