PSPG, my complete set of guides, is completed and raring to go.

Revision A (BETA) features the following guides:

- Flash and Firmware Introduction
- 'What Does my Firmware Do?'
- Official PSP Firmware Releases And Changelogs
- Compatibility for Firmwares
- Downgrading Your Firmware
- Custom Firmwares
- Homebrew Installation
- CPU and OS modes of the PSP
- All-in-one "Devhook" ISO and Firmware Emulation Walkthrough
- Ripping an ISO Game For Use Under Emulation

At the moment, the guides are complete, but need a bit of sprucing-up before revision B. This does not imply the guides are bad - I've given 9 people pre-release access to the guides, and not one had a critisism that wan't concerning spelling (2 incidents), formatting (1 incident), or HTML errors (1 incident).
The content of the guides is said to be 'Fantastic, informative, proffessional, and easy to use' (as quoted by 'ScrewHighSchool', a tester).

Anyway, PSPG is due for an overhaul soon. Expected new features are:
- Next version of PSPG. (In the works).
- Offline HTML version. (Unlikely)
- EBOOT executable versions for on-the-fly education

(Possible)
- PSPG server change (hopefully).

As you can see, I'm very busy with the site and it's content right now. If you have any guides or tutorials you would like me to write, please say so now, as I won't be adding new ones until the next release. If you would like to make a request, please post with the title 'PSPG GUIDE REQUEST', in this thread, with the body: 'My request: xxx', and then anything else you have to say.

The initial official release should be tommorow or the next day, depending on how fast I can start and finish any guides I'm working on or you guys request.

And as for you guys who said they would be happy to help me with the PSPG EBOOT templates (requires no source modification, only image-editing), I haven't forgotten about you!
If you would like to help, please post here with the post title 'PSPG EBOOT ASSISTANCE', along with your e-mail address and I'll send you the templates as soon as the first release comes out.

So, sit tight! "Millions more noobs will die", as they say in that UK advertisment (It is 'noobs', right?).

Thanks!

Hooray! I've waited for something to point help-requesters to for a little while (look at my sig, it invites noobs and other people to come to me for help), and I've been getting a lot of requests lately (not to detract anyone from PMing or emailing me - please do so if you need help, but only if you're reading this before the 8th of December or after the 15th, as I'm getting the Wii on the 8th, and a week or so is the normal honeymoon period for consoles).

Anyway, make sure to make you guides noticeable in your sig and in a new thread - I'll give them a look and decide whether to put them in my sig too.

PS - If you want a pre-release tester, I'm here.

Dorkdork, I think I'll give you a sneak-preview. You're an intelligent person, and I trust you not to give out the URL. It's just I'd like some-more feedback and testimonials to post on the site.
I'll PM you.

I also don't mind testing and giving feedback

Anyway I'm looking forward to the final release, this will help so many people

PM sent!

I doubt there will be a final release. With the amount of constantly updates hacks and firmwares, It'll need frequent maintenance!

Doubleposted Message Below:

Robkellas, do you want a pre-release review?

Remember, everyone; If you can think of any PSP guides I haven't written, please just say so.

Robkellas · #7 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 01:23 PM

Yeah I would like a preview

pj1115 · #8 (**permalink**) 12-07-2006, 03:07 PM

So, I've given out he URL to a few people, what do you guys think?

I'll allow perhaps one more person to review it before I re-add the password protection until it's released.

Any suggestions? C'mon, I want PSPG to be special on the first release!

Personally I think it is very informing, Well written, But I think the UMD Dumping guide crosses into illegal ISO usage. Is PSPG for ISO's? Other than that, 10/10

IMHO, the more tutorials the better.

^_^ Hope this doesn't mean that people will stop reading mine...

Ah well, at least it is in good hands.
