@ ikebana - you can connect the psp2000 to non-HDTVs, thing is games run at 480p so you need a progressive display for them, all the other functions can work in interlaced mode so run on SDTVs fine.
what the psp needs is some more decent games.

Good Day
Just wanted to share my new experience.
If your system fails to run due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other important system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Simply boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run “attrib -H -R -S” on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Run “Bootcfg /Rebuild” and then Fixboot
Cheers,
Carl
