I did read up that you can convert your PAL game to NTCS format, which makes it run better? If not, that sucks, because all my games are PAL.

Also, you'd pretty much have to buy a lot of memory sticks, if you were going to rip the Final Fantasy's. Right? How much do memory sticks go for, that are compatible with PSP?

I guess, the only other thing is that I probably can't get a PSP with the proper firmware to upgrade to Dark Alex's firmware. I heard you can downgrade and all, but is that really safe?

I guess the only reason I'd be looking at a PSP, is for emulating my PSX games (and ones that I have lost and I can't play on my PS2, due to them being NTCS format like Chrono Cross that I imported). And also playing games such as Valkyrie Profile, FF7 Crisis Core, FF Tactics and a few other games.

But if it's RPG's I'm looking at, maybe DS is a better option.
