Any recommended XVid / DivX players for the PSP?

I have some mpg and xvid files I noticed the playback on the PSP using the sample spiderman trailer disc was very good.

The PSP is able to play converted mpg files. Check out the various PSP forums for more information.

A good start is above.

Sorry for being rather THICK here, but now that i have upgraded my PSP to the 3.03OE-A firmware (all works ok), where do i place my game files?

Some are ISO's and some are in EBOOT format. I have looked at various forums, but have got myself well confused with the directories required - i thought this was going to be the easy bit !!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give this noobie... Del

for iso games, make a folder in the actual main area of the psp and put the game in there. For the EBOOT format, place it in the psp>>game folder.

You should be on 3.03OE now...there was another update. It's just as easy to install as 3.02OE

But why? Is there any real benifit? What's new compaired to .02?

Create a folder at the root of the MS and call it ISO. Put ISOs and CSOs in there. For the Eboot.pbp files, you need to put them in the GAME folder, which you'll find in the PSP folder on your memory stick. For the eboots, you'll need the folders they are in, as well as the key files too. So, for say Parasite Eve, you need a Parasite Eve folder with both Eboot and Keys file in that folder. You put the Parasite Eve folder in the GAME folder which is in the PSP folder.

Hope this makes sense.

Compressed PSX games, for starters. 3.02OE-B can't play compressed PSX games - only non-compressed PSX games. 3.03OE can play compressed PSX games, which means you can get more games on your memory stick. Also, it means you'll have sony's latest firmware (3.03), albeit an open edition version of it.

Well my Logitech case came half an hour ago but I am still trying to get into the packaging .. if its half as well made as the plastic its wrapped in then it should withstand a nuclear attack never mind anything else.

Dark AleX has released 3.03 OE-B. What a glorious day this is. Well I thought I would write an article about this after reading asleetasXP post here on the forums. He has commented that this was a super easy install, typical of a DAX release. And now for the changelog:

Patched the firmware to allow decrypted mp4-AVC videos to play at 480×272 resolution.
pic0.png was not shown in psp isos. Fixed.
The speed functions were not dummied after setting the speed. This could cause the few games
that set the cpu speed not to run at the selected speed in the recovery menu.
Changed the structure of the program to have more free ram in game mode, sysmemp.prx removed, systemctrl.prx splitted into systemctrl.prx and vshctrl.prx.

Note: due to the inclusion of pic0.png, the iso cache has changed slightly; as a consequence you
will notice a slowdown the first time you access game menu after this update, just as if you have
modified the iso folder.

Change in docmaker:

A flag that lets increase the limit of 100 png’s to 1000 was found. (this is the real maximum
number of images that support the emulator document.dat reader).
The document.dat’s created with this version, can have any number of images between 1 and 1000,
and they will work in whatever 3.03 OE version.


only run the 3.03OE-B update if your psp currently has 3.03OE-A firmware or you may damage your psp!
