Q: My PSP is displaying error message "80410A0B" and now I can't get online. Even the WAN light will not turn on. Please help me, my mom is going to kill me!
A: Your mother's murderous intentions aren't something that we can help you with on PSP Fanboy, but we can help with the other problem. The 80410A0B error is one of the more common errors that plague the system, and it happens when the onboard networking memory of your PSP becomes corrupted in some way. The best solution is to restore system settings. Go to Settings -> System Settings -> Restore System Defaults. This will erase all of your saved network data, but your system should work fine afterwards. If not, you will have to have your system replaced. Contact Sony's support department here.
Q: If one imports a Japanese PSP, how does one charge it? Will a US charger plug into a Japanese PSP?
A: The AC adaptor on the PSP is universal. Feel free to import at your whim.
A: It's coming in September. However, if you didn't get an e-mail from Sony informing you of that, you will most likely not receive the demo.
Q: Recently, I was searching the internet and came across a site that said that the Go!Cam's US release date is in August. Is this true?
A: Incorrect. The Go!Cam currently does not have a planned US release. I wouldn't be surprised to see it come out in America before the holidays, but there isn't an official release. Wait until E3 for an announcement -- if there isn't any, you may want to import the camera. You can also use English-language photo editing software by downloading it from us.
Q: Any tips, guides, or links for simple HTML/CSS coding for the PSP browser? I'm curious how to code to scroll left and right.
A: Your question is a little unclear. You can simply use standard HTML and CSS for your PSP. If you want to make sure it fits on your PSP, remember that the screen's resolution is 480x272: make sure any tables and images you use will fit in that parameter. To scroll left and right with the PSP, hold down Square and use the D-Pad or analog stick to move the screen.
Q: When I went on Sony's American website and looked up the PLAYSTATION Store, I saw some PSX games for PSP that you havent reviewed (Hot Shots Golf, Crash Bandicoot, etc.). Are you still reviewing these games for the rest of us?
A: All of those games have been reviewed by PSP Fanboy. Check them out here. There is one game we haven't reviewed yet: Wipeout. I've been playing a good deal of it, and I honestly can't recommend it: Wipeout Pure is so much better.
Q: I was wondering if PQ2 and Crush were alike? Because they both seem like something where you push blocks around and get to the exit by the way you describe them on the site. If they are alike which do you think is better?
A: It's true that the two are puzzle games, and both are excellent. However, they are very different. Crush uses an innovative dimension-smashing feature, which has you manipulating 3D environments by turning them 2D. Although Crush is a shorter game, and doesn't include a level editor, it comes highly recommended with a PSP Fanboy score of 9.0. PQ2 is also a good game, but Crush is the better option.
Q: Does the new demo site, demos.pspfanboy.com, have a mobile version where you can download the demos straight to your PSP?
A: Not yet. It's something we will be working on for the future, however.
Q: How do I convert videos into MP4 format?
A: Use a video conversion program, such as PSP Video 9 (which was recently updated).
Q: My Flash player is disabled. How can I enable it without internet access?
A: Both WMA and Flash support require wireless internet to access. If you have a homebrew-enabled system, try installing Dark_Alex's custom firmware on it. Then, fully turn off your system by holding down the power switch. When turning the system back on, hold the R button and it will take you to a menu, where you will be able to enable the Flash player. If you don't have a homebrew-capable PSP and want to activate Flash, you must find a wireless spot. If you have a Starbucks near you, and firmware 3.30 or above, you can use their internet for free.

Q: What store sells the best PSP games for the lowest price?
A: Our Deal of the Day features are usually the best way to keep in the loop about cheap PSP games. For the most part, games will cost the same everywhere. However, experience has shown that Circuit City and amazon.com both appear to have the most deals on PSP games and movies.
Q: Is it possible to downgrade a 3.50 firmware PSP?
A: No.
