  • When playing music, if you pause a song for longer than a second, then resume, it will actually start playing back, starting a second before the point when you paused the song
  • In FW1.50, when cold booting the PSP, if you pressed X in the right time, it's possible to bring up the Game » Memory Stick menu - however, it would actually be the Video Settings menu.  The Video Settings menu that pops up under Game » Memory stick is fully functional.
  • If you totally disconnect the PSP from power (no AC or battery) for about 12 hours (random guess) the clock will reset.  However, the time is still held if you totally disconnect from power for a short time.
  • If you use the PHOTO viewer, you'll know that it is kinda slow, especially when zooming (takes too long to focus).  Overclocking to 333MHz doesn't seem to increase the speed, and the memstick isn't constantly being read, thus the rendering speed is actually restricted by the firmware, not the CPU
  • Same goes for the Flash player - the firmware seems to restrict the speed
  • Dark_AleX's 1.50 PoC custom firmware loaded PRXs of the memstick (in vsh) fine, however 2.71 SE-C's PRX loading off the memstick wouldn't always work when exiting a homebrew.  This bug remained until 3.03 OE-C, however, it seems that exiting a PSX game will still trigger this bug.
  • For music, the PSP will only bother to look at the ID3v2 tag (stored at beginning of file) and will totally ignore the ID3v1 tag (stored at end of file).  Interestingly though, when playing back the song, if the PSP finds that, at the end, there's a corrupt ID3v1 tag, it will tag the song as corrupt upon completion - flushing the file info cache fixes this.  Any type of "resampling" may cause this not to work, however.  (I found this out when some members of Downgrades were talking about a "MP3 exploit" - obviously this is not an exploit)
  • If you connect the PSP to the PC's USB, and select the Camera option, the computer will apparently detect an audio/mic device.  My PC got BSoD'd testing this, so be careful.

BSoD » Crash » Computer restarts.

Nothing bad - this tends to happen when dealing with dodgey drivers.
wow
that's weird
yeah that's happened to my computer before, cool facts i always had the problem with the mp3 being read as corrupt after the song ended

*edit for more e-pigs to afford a moon ;)
