Ghetto Music Boombox
Turn it into an MP3 boombox and let everyone know you own the hottest toy in the neighborhood. Just add this [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. It might not be the loudest speakers around, but it’s portable and looks pretty mean.
Playing Multiplayer Games via the Internet
Can’t meet up with friends to play multiplayer PSP games with? How about playing games with other PSP owners via the Internet. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] is a global gaming network that brings together XBox, Playstation 2, Gamecube and PSP users, in one integrated community. It is software running on your PC, Macintosh or even your Linux router that allows you to play system-link enabled games online for free. Ofcourse we all know the easiest way to do this is to buy a wireless router.
Surf the Internet
The PSP comes with built-in 802.11b wifi capability that lets you to play games with other PSP users nearby. It also connects to the Internet though you can’t do much since there’s no built-in e-mail program or Web browser on firmware lower then 2.0 which does have the built in Web browser. However, the game “Wipeout Pure” contains a basic Web browser. It’s only there to access a single page containing game updates. Here’s a trick to surf the Internet (more or less… you need to be close to a Wi-Fi hotspot for this to work:
1. On the PSP, go to Network Settings.
2. Select Infrastructure mode. Create a new connection and give it a name.
3. Enter the name, or SSID, of the Wi-Fi hotspot and the password if necessary.
4. Select the Custom address setting. You can usually leave IP Address Setting to Automatic.
5. For DNS Setting, select Manual. Enter the Primary DNS 67.171.70.72. This points to a computer set up by Jonathan Terleski, a student at Carnegie Mellon. It replaces the Sony page with a page that has links to Google, Yahoo and other useful sites.
6. Set it not to use a proxy.
7. Save the network settings. Make sure the Wi-Fi switch on the left side of the PSP is on.
8. Fire up “Wipeout Pure.” Go to the Downloads section and select the connection you just created. That should take you online, unless traffic is overwhelming the portal page. If it doesn’t work immediately, try a few hours later. Not all pages will work in the browser, but hey: you have a PSP and you’re online.
Scanning for WiFi networks
Your Sony PSP can scan for wireless networks and provide you with a decent wireless report. From the PSP Home button, you can go into Network Settings, then select Infrastructure, make a New Connection, then go through the settings until you get to WLAN Settings. This is where you simply select Encryption None or WEP, depending on which kind of wireless you’d like to find, then hit Scan. You’ll get SSID, Encryption type, and Signal Strength. Pretty nifty stuff using your PSP as a portable WiFi scanner if you’re deciding if it’s worth taking your laptop out.
Explosive PSP Grenade (Okay here’s a stupid trick!)
The PSP battery lasts about 4-5hrs, but under constant gameplay, you’d get about 2.5hrs or so. The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] let you extend your playtime at half the cost of buying a second PSP battery. However, you can make yourself an explosive PSP if you use this Pelican Power Brick in an inappropriate manner.
Clearly there’s more PSP tricks out there, including listening to podcasts and tracking videoblogs. I’d love it if you could add your ideas in the comments and I’ll include good ones as an update to this article.

It's a nice guide. As for the 1.5 thing...don't forget the Links2 web browser. It's surprisingly awesome! I download MP3s and Mp4s off the net using my 1.5psp and links and then listen/watch em.
