The Hardware decoders can not play x86 formatted XviD and DivX videos that are played on ones PC, the PSP simply lacks the power too do so (including the Slim). 1.00 does play MPEG-4+MP3 videos encoded in 480x***/4 Sony removed 480x***/4 support in 1.5 for some stupid reason. Alex hacked it back in with AVC support in one of the OE's, and Sony then continued to support 480x***/4 and added 720X***/4

DivX/XviD are not tied to specific CPU architectures, thus "x86 formatted" doesn't make any sense.
The ME does decode DivX/XviD - it's been done (partially) before by homebrew (cooleyes has a sample which will decode a single frame using the ME).
The ME was primarily designed to handle MPEG-4 AVC at 720x480 resolution, but does also handle a variant of MPEG-4 SP.
