PSP3000

psp3000 - A built-in microphone is added to the left side of the PSP logo

- The steel ring on the UMD cabin is made more delicate.

-The previous HOME button has been changed to the Playstation labeled button.

- The screen of PSP3000 will be brighter, and the disadvantage of the old version of PSP2000 that it can only use component or D terminals with progressive scan TV output pictures has been changed.

-PSP3000 measures 169.4×18.6×71.4 mm and weighs 189g, which is completely unchanged from PSP2000.

-The newly launched PSP3000 console is now available in two colors: Dazzling Blue and Sparkling Red

- The latest new colors of PSP3000: dazzling yellow, emerald green

Sony senior sales manager John Koller talked about many advantages of PSP3000 in an interview with the media: such as improved screen, New microphones, value bundles, etc. John Koller explained that this is because the PSP3000 uses a brighter display, but the use time will remain the same.

●The difference between psp2000 and psp3000

SCEE announced the latest model of PSP "PSP3000" at the German Game Conventon 2008 in Leipzig, Germany. The new version of PSP3000 has the same functions as the old version (PSP2000), and the appearance is basically the same. The real changes can only be counted in one place: the microphone, other LCD improvements, the home button becoming the PlayStation logo button, and the enhanced video output function. It's like talking nonsense. However, by announcing the PSP3000 at GC instead of E3, Sony was forced to go to the wall, perhaps to prevent cracking.

Although the sales volume of PSP consoles in Japan has been higher than that of NDS for a long time since MHP, this momentum has been successfully overtaken by DS again recently, not to mention that throughout the world, DS It sells much more than the PSP.

Changes in PSP3000

●LCD is brighter:

Although the machine itself does not add more brightness levels, officials say the new LCD has physical anti-glare Reflective function and has shorter reaction time. In other words, you can now play games and watch movies without any hindrance under direct sunlight, and you no longer have to endure the pain of smearing. The only drawback is that the screen has horizontal lines. Sony officials say this is a feature of the 3000 and not a malfunction.

One of the biggest improvements of PSP3000 is the screen. The new screen will have higher contrast, faster response speed, and wider color display range. The new PSP will be able to restore the quality of movies and photos more naturally. The new LCD has anti-reflective technology, allowing users to see the images on the screen more clearly in bright outdoors. In addition, on the back of the console, there is a clear comparison between the PSP2000 and the PSP3000: the ring on the back of the PSP's optical drive is noticeably thinner on the PSP3000.

●Better TV output function:

I believe many PSP players still prefer the TV output function of PSP2000.

Although we have had some solutions before, such as the video output plug-in called FuSa, as an unofficial solution, both the video output quality and the game effect are greatly reduced – after using FuSa , you will find that PSP games become so slow that you will wonder if you have downclocked the CPU to 111MHZ.

Regarding the new TV output function, Sony’s official statement is not so clear. It just specifically states that it now also supports ordinary interlaced TVs, and supports S-video, AV-video, component and D-video game output. However, it is difficult to judge whether it still only supports component output lines/D terminal lines as before.

But there is one thing that is more worrying, because the hardware specifications of PSP2000 are almost exactly the same as those of PSP3000. In fact, as a method of cost control, it is impossible for PSP3000 itself to add new hardware to increase costs. . So it's likely that video output improvements will be achieved at the software level alone. Judging from the official screenshots of PSP3000, PSP3000 will have an XMB interface that is different from PSP1000 and PSP2000. It has been determined that the initial version is 4.21, and the US version is 4.20. There is no official upgrade file to download, but when it is upgraded to 5.0, 2000 can also appear in the same background waves as 3000, but it will not have the unique functions of 3000. Like 1000 and 2000, they are also upgraded to the same version, but 1000 will never have Skype, USB charging, UMD cache and other functions.

●The microphone hidden next to the PSP logo:

This may be the only change that makes people interested, as the official version of Skype Pocket Edition and Go! Messenger Supported. Now you only need a PSP host to make VoIP calls in places with WIFI signal coverage, or chat directly online. However, online chatting must wait until it is cracked, because the official has not added this function to the system.

Note: Go! Messenger is an IM software running on the PSP platform. Go! Messenger users support real-time voice chat, text chat and video chat (requires camera support). Skype Pocket Edition is a PSP ported version of the PC software of the same name, through which you can make ordinary phone calls, but Skype Pocket Edition does not support text chat and video calls.

And when the PSP3000 has a microphone, maybe in addition to making phone calls and chatting, we can also see more games like "TalkMan" using the microphone function in the future. Imagine playing in the game How does it feel to yell loudly at the PSP in the process and unleash the strongest attack move? However, in fact, there are already headset combinations on the market that support PSP2000. In terms of microphones, the advantages of PSP3000 are not so obvious.

Note: The TalkMan series of games is the first series of software for PSP to use the microphone function. Through the microphone hardware bundled with the game, the sound input function can be realized on PSP1000 and PSP2000.

●The appearance of the steel rim＼HOME＼SELECT＼START and other buttons has been changed, and the direction key ○□△×key area has been recessed.

●In fact, the appearance has basically not changed much. , that is, the edges have become straighter. In the past, many PSP2000 peripherals can be used on PSP3000 without any problems, such as silicone cases, protective boxes, and crystal cases, but now there are 3000 peripherals.

● About PSP3000 standby time

About 5 hours of game time has always been the most difficult problem to avoid for PSP. In fact, before the launch of GC2008, the US FCC had already released a test report for the PSP3000. The report showed that the battery model of the PSP3000 was the same as that of the PSP2000, both PSP-S110 with a capacity of 1200mAh. The report also disclosed two other types of batteries. Battery specifications, one is a 1800mAh large-capacity battery, the game time of 3000 is the same as that of 2000. The parameters of Type 2000 and Type 3000 are the same, and there is no substantial change in weight. It's a bit difficult to compare just by looking at the appearance, but in actual hand feel, the PSP3000 is a bit smoother than the PSP2000, but the edges are designed with a 1000° right angle.

[Edit this paragraph] PSP peripheral products

■ UMD introduction

UMD is SONY specially designed for PSP The developed multimedia storage medium - Universal Media Disc, has a maximum capacity of 1.79GB-1.8GB, a capacity of no more than 1.8GB but a diameter of only 6cm. And because the UMD disc and disc sleeve are inserted into the PSP for gaming (referring to MD's approach), the possibility of UMD disc wear is greatly reduced.

Currently, UMD discs are only in read-only format and use 128BIT AES encryption technology. All UMD discs are produced exclusively by SONY and the technology is not leaked out. There is only one UMD disc production line in the world. It is worth 120 million. I believe that it will be a period of time in the future. There will be no UMD bulk discs during the period.

Specifications: 60mm diameter optical disc, 660 nanometer laser diode, 1.8GB maximum capacity (double layer), 11Mbps transmission rate, AES encryption system, unique disc ID

■ Memory Stick

MS (Memory stick) is a memory card launched by Sony in 1999. It is commonly used in Sony series products, such as Sony notebooks, Sony digital cameras, etc. It can store UMD game archives and MPG4 movies. With MP3 music etc. There are 32MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB is under development (looking forward to it). There is now a Memory stick High Speed ??version. It is a high-speed version, with a maroon appearance and the words HIGH SPEED under the ms logo. At present, most high-speed memory sticks in China are assembled sticks (not original), but with the improvement of assembly technology .The quality of the assembled stick will not be much different from the original stick.

■ Games

You can run UMD or save it to Memory Stick Duo. (ISO or CSO file) PSP-specific format games (requires system cracking).

PSone games (i.e. PlayStation original games, need to be converted).

Homebrew game (requires system cracking).

And play emulator games such as GBA N64 SFC through self-made programs (system cracking is required).

You can watch UMD or save it on Memory Stick Duo. images within. (Images saved in Memory Stick Duo.) The playback format can be MPEG-4, AVC, AVI, PMP.

Playback method: Put MP4 files directly into the video folder. AVI and AVC need to be renamed. PMP needs to install a playback tool.

■ Music

You can listen to UMD and music saved on Memory Stick Duo. (Music saved in Memory Stick Duo) file format must be ATRAC3plus. MP3 and WMA ATRAC3plus (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding 3 Plus) new product also uses ATRAC3Plus advanced compression technology, allowing sound to be processed with high performance while maintaining high sound quality. Compression; depending on the file size and compression effect, you can choose to compress to a compression ratio of 256, 132, 105, 66, 64 or 48kbps. If you choose a compression ratio of 256kbps, you can compress music with similar CD quality.

■Video

You can convert video formats through PC and store them on PSP Memory Stick Duo card. Supported formats are MP4, MP4-AVC (H.264), H-AVC (480P, H.264), these three are officially supported formats, and the suffix is ??MP4. Through third-party self-made software, a video format with the suffix PMP is supported. This format has been updated many times to the current PMP-AVC-AAC (i.e. H.264 video encoding, AAC audio), with a maximum resolution of 480*272 , the most widely circulated on the Internet. Other formats such as RMVB and AVI can already be played through homemade software, but the effect is not good and they are still in the testing stage.

■ Pictures

You can browse and browse pictures saved in Memory Stick Duo through PSP. (Pictures saved in Memory Stick Duo.) The picture format can be JPEG, GIF or BMP.

■ Internet access

You can browse the web through the Internet browser that comes with the PSP by connecting to the wireless router. It supports WIFI but does not support Bluetooth. (The version requires 2.0 and above). But it requires a wireless hotspot (or a magic card). At present, domestic wireless hotspots are not popular (except in Beijing). However, more access points can still be detected in more prosperous downtown areas.

■ Crack< /p>

Early PSP cracked games were implemented through boot programs such as Booster's Device Hook. Games can be played via ISO images on memory sticks.

Since the homebrew program can only run better on the 1.50 system, the system version has been downgraded in order to play the cracked game.

Usually, in order to better run cracked games, etc., it is necessary to flash a controllable homemade system (OE/M33) for the machine.

The current cracked system can already perfectly run all the functions of the genuine system.

The difference between OE and M33 is that OE is more stable, but supports fewer games. Now there are also fewer For human use, M33 is not as stable as OE, but it supports many more games than OE. And now the instability problem has been basically solved. Therefore, M33 is much more popular than OE.

Due to Sony's modification of the motherboard, As a result, some motherboards with model number TA088-V3 cannot be cracked temporarily, so please pay attention when purchasing. Except for the TA088-V3 motherboard, all motherboards can be directly upgraded to 5.00m33-6 with a magic battery.

Homebrew software is now available for 3000, and it is not far away from being completely cracked. The available firmware is Davee's ChickHen

■ Video output

In the new version of the PSP 2000 model, Sony has improved the PSP on the basis of the 1000 model. In addition to making the machine In addition to being thinner and lighter, the most prominent highlight is the addition of video output function. This makes the PSP, which is already very suitable for audio and video playback, even better.

First of all, there is no doubt that a video output cable is required to output the PSP to a TV or monitor. Currently, there are four types of video cables supported by PSP: component cable, D terminal cable, S terminal cable and VGA cable. Among these four types of cables, the component cable and the D terminal cable are the best. However, the D terminal cable is an interface with a limited range of applications. It is currently only used in Japan, so it has no value for players in non-Japanese regions. Therefore, it is recommended that players purchase component lines when purchasing. The second is the S-Video cable, and the last is the VGA cable. Generally speaking, for ordinary display devices, you may not be able to see the difference between these types of cables on the PSP (but you can still see the degradation of quality with VGA cables). For users of home computers, you may be very aware of the differences between these types of cables. Picture quality difference. But this has nothing to do with PSP. We can ignore it.

Secondly, for output content, component lines and D terminal lines are the best. The following are the differences between several cable pairs for PSP content output.

Video cable normal screen MP4 game homebrew image quality

Component cable support support support the best

D terminal cable support support support the best

p>

S terminal cable support, support, no support, need to be supported by homebrew program, good

VGA cable support, support, no support, need to be supported by homebrew program, poor

Note: support from homebrew program is required. The output line cannot enter the homebrew program when the video is connected. You need to enter the homebrew program before outputting to the monitor.

■ Camera

A handheld game console for enjoying fun at any time: PSP is not only a handheld game console that can play games, listen to music, watch movies, surf the Internet, read e-books, and play emulators anytime and anywhere It is a fashionable digital handheld device, and it can also have digital video and photography functions immediately.

When paired with editing software, the PSP dedicated camera can support JPEG still image photography with a resolution of 320×240~1280×960, as well as JPEG still image photography with a resolution of 320×240~480×272 and 15~30fps per second. Motion JPEG dynamic image photography, in addition to general photography functions, will also provide static time-lapse photography, surveillance photography, frame photography, as well as dynamic intermittent photography and frame photography and other special photography modes.

The photos or videos taken will be stored in the MS PRO Duo memory stick, and can be browsed, edited and processed with theme effects through the built-in functions of the software, allowing players to customize the photos or videos themselves. The video is added with various transitions, special effects, graphics, music and sound effects to create photo albums or theme videos, etc., and can be output to a PC for viewing (photo format is JPG, video output format is AVI).

■GPS

PSP dedicated GPS global locator

PSP dedicated GPS global locator parameters (model PSP-290)

Receive Signal frequency 1575.42Mhz (L1 band, C/A encoding)

Receiving signal mode channel 20

Receiving signal sensitivity -153dBm/-140dBm

Positioning update time About 1 second

Positioning accuracy 5m (2DRMS, -130dBm)

Dimensions about 45×41×17mm

Weight about 16g

Contents GPS receiver and storage box

GPS-290 is a GPS global positioning device (*1) launched by SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment) specifically for PSP use, and 290 is its number. Following the PSP's dedicated camera, the GPS global locator will once again expand the world of PSP. From practical tool software and some game ideas that may have been impractical in the past, PSP's dedicated GPS global locator will make more impossible possible. Although the PSP can also use other GPS devices (*2), the official GPS-290 is easier to use, and its price is undoubtedly advantageous compared to ordinary GPS receivers.

The appearance of the PSP-specific GPS global locator is the same as that of past microphones and cameras. It is connected through the USB interface on the upper part of the PSP. The upper transparent acrylic panel serves as the antenna receiving function, and there are screws on the left side for fixation. .

*1: GPS stands for Global Positioning System. Established by the U.S. Army, Sea and Air Force in the 1970s, it can provide accurate positioning, speed measurement and high-precision time standards for most areas (98%) of the earth's surface. The system consists of 24 GPS satellites in space; 1 main control station, 3 data injection stations and 5 monitoring stations on the ground, as well as GPS receivers as user terminals. At least 4 of the satellites are needed to quickly determine the user's location and altitude on the earth; the more satellites that can be connected, the more accurate the decoded position will be. (Civil positioning is currently free)

The GPS system has the following advantages: all-weather, not affected by any weather; global coverage (up to 98%); high-precision three-dimensional speed and timing; fast, time-saving, High efficiency; wide application and multi-function; removable positioning; unlike the dual-star positioning system, the receiver does not need to send out any signals during use, which increases concealment and improves its military application efficiency.

*2: When using other types of USB devices on the PSP, you usually use a DIY GPS connection cable (requires players with strong hands-on skills to operate), and then use the cable to connect other GPS devices for use on the PSP. Unofficial GPS requires using unofficial programs to observe maps or positioning

[Edit this paragraph] Thorough analysis of hardware

■ Thorough analysis of PSP hardware

High High-performance CPU and DRAM embedded in the CPU core

In order to make the PSP's 3D performance close to the level of the PS2, SONY equipped the PSP with two R4000 CPU cores. R4000 is a RISC (RISC) developed by MIPS Technology Company Reduced instruction set) processor. The PSP CPU Core processor frequency of one of the two R4000 is 333MHZ. It has a 128BIT system bus (note: that is, the connection bus with memory or external circuits), through which it communicates with the Media Engine and Main Memory, Graphics Core1, 2, VME (Virtual Mobile Engine) and DMAC [DMA is the abbreviation of Direct Memory Access. It means "direct memory access". It refers to a high-speed data transfer operation that allows direct reading and writing of data between external devices and memory, that is, without going through the CPU and without requiring CPU intervention.

The entire data transfer operation is carried out under the control of DMAC-Direct Memory Access Controller. In addition to doing some processing at the beginning and end of data transmission, the CPU can perform other work during the transmission process. In this way, most of the time, the CPU and input and output are operating in parallel.

Therefore, the efficiency of the entire computer system is greatly improved. Its role in the PSP is to connect the CPU to the Optical Disc System and I/O devices to read and process the Optical Disc System and I/O devices. O devices (such as handles, display screens, U** and other interfaces are all I/O devices)] connection. PSP CPU Core1 integrates I-Cache (the specific capacity of the instruction cache is unknown), D-Cache (the specific capacity of the data cache) Unknown) and FPU, VFPU (Vector Unit). Among them, the 3D computing power of PSP CPU Core mainly comes from the two vector units, FPU and VFPU, and its floating point computing power has reached 2.6GFlops (with 3D-CG Extended Instructions- The value when the 3D extended instruction set is involved in the work), which has reached the floating point operation amount of P3 733 (this is the case when the SEE instruction set is added, the value is 2.93GFLOPS (SSE)). Many people say that the PS2 GS supports There are so few special effects. Why are there so many unsupported special effects in the game? It’s actually because of EE’s FPU and VUO+VU1, which makes EE’s total floating-point computing power reach 6.2 GFLOPS. The PSP’s VFPU is equivalent Based on EE's VUO+VU1, even though Graphics Core does not support many special effects, it can rely on FPU and VFPU to achieve unsupported special effects. Many people say why it is not supported in Graphics Core, because the current technology has not yet allowed the GPU to do so. The ability to simulate special effects, even nVIDIA's GeForce series or ATI's RADEON series, only programmatically controls its inherent special effects. For newly added special effects, such as the new DIRECTX version that adds new special effects, it must be updated to support this DIRECTX version. graphics card, and game consoles cannot be replaced every 6-8 months like PC graphics cards. Moreover, although the floating point operation of GPU is higher than that of CPU, it has limitations. Therefore, SONY's choice is still very wise - use a CPU with high floating point operations to simulate special effects.

The function of PSP CPU Core is to perform 3D operations such as early polygon generation and simulate some special effects. The core integrates 30MB DRAM main memory, which can accommodate more polygon data and high-resolution textures. The main memory bandwidth is 2.6GB/sec. The PSP CPU Core uses its 128-bit bandwidth bus to connect to the DRAM, giving full play to the PSP CPU Core's ultra-high performance (note: although it is embedded test memory, it still needs a bus to connect it). The advantage of embedded memory is that the CPU can directly access the memory, reducing memory response time and providing high bandwidth. The other R4000 is called the Media Engine. As the name suggests, it does media decompression, sound and I/O management. etc., instead of doing 3D calculations. So it cannot participate in 3D calculations. Many websites say that two CPUs can work together to perform 3D calculations, which is wrong. Because it does not integrate FPU VFPU (it does not rule out that I misunderstood). Its frequency is also 333MHZ, and it shares a 128BIT front-side bus with the PSP CPU Core. It is embedded with 2MB DRAM and has a DRAM bandwidth of 2.6GB/sec. It is mainly used as a media decompression buffer and audio memory. It is used to complete the decompression of MPEG4.

Graphics Core

The accumulated experience and mature PSP Graphics Core

In order to make the 3D function of PSP more coordinated, SONY has The PSP is equipped with the same number of GPUs as CPUs. Graphics Core 1 is mainly geometric operations.

The above are all the data of 3000. If you want to buy peripheral products, it is recommended to buy genuine products from major manufacturers such as Beitong and Noire
