PSP is multi-featured handheld device. You cant j but

you can also play music and video and run various applications with it.

PlayStation Portable's audio player supports a number of audio codecs,

including ATRAC, AAC, MP3, and WMA, and has the option to be played with

or without a set of five visualizations. The image viewer will display

several common image formats including JPEG, Bitmap, and PNG. MPEG-4

and AVC video formats are also compatible with PlayStation Portable. PSP

is a powerful device not just because of these features but also

because you can customize your PSP with your own style. You can change its

looks, background, buttons, icons and themes. And with the PSPs

popularity, there are many sites out there that compare and share various PSP

customizations. This is possible by using an application that allows

you to take photos of whats on your PSP. More like a screenshot in

computer terms. You cant just share your customized background and themes;

you can also take screenshots of your favorite game. How to do this?

Well, heres a short guide that would get your starting:

1- Download the attachment: 11693_SVCapture05.zi

This software will only run on firmware 1.50 or custom firmware 3.03

OE-C

3.30 OE-A most compatible

2- Extract the zipped file

3- Inside the folder you can see various files, copy capture.prx and capture.ini to your psp's "Seplugins" folder (if it doesn't exist just make a new folder on the root of the PSP called "seplugins" without the quotes)

4- Open vsh.txt or if it doesn't exist, create it by using any text editor and write the following line: ms0:/seplugins/capture.prx If VSH.txt already exist then just add it after the last line

5- repeat step 4 but name the file game.txt and pops.txt (For taking screenshots in a game)

6- Turn off your PSP and switch it back on while pressing R to enter recovery mode

7- Go to plugins and activate all "capture.prx" plugins

8- Exit the recovery menu and Press the note button to take screenshots and L+note button to make an animated gif out of it (to stop press note again)

9- copy __SCE__SVCPlayer and __SCE__SVCPlayer to your psp at X:\PSP\game150

(Where X is the drive of your PSP on your PC)

10- After recording a movie, open svc player and you can watch it there

Here is the summary of controls that you will use:

CONTROLS

Music Button = Take Screen shot / Stop Recording Video

Right Shoulder Button + Music Button = Start Recording Video

Right Shoulder Button + Left Shoulder Button + Music Button = Start

Recording "Advanced Video Mode"

All screenshots will be saved in X:\PSP\PHOTO in BMP format. With this,

you can now express yourself by sharing your customized PSP and your

favorite games. These just conclude that PSP is not only for gaming and

multimedia use but with ingenuity; it can also be a source of art.
