I haven't touch my PSPs in ages... Why can't they enable trophies for the PSP games? That would be awesome, grinding on the go!

They won't add trophies because of CFW.

Hey, i don't mind sticking to the official FW if there are PSP trophies... Before people shout about the point of achievements/trophies, please don't. It's pretty much like asking why people collect comic books? Why people want to get rep'd? Why people care what other people wrote on-line...

You asked, I answered, that's how it works. Read this article @ Joystick about why Sony says no to PSP trophies.

I think you took my post the wrong way 713tex... there's no ill intention there. I was trying to shun people away from posting comments like "what do you need trophies/achievements for?" "Geez, can't you game w/o scores?" "It's not like you get anything from achievements..."

5 years and still no good games on it? I kind of stopped keeping up with what games came out for it once it was about a year old though.

I still got the first model that came out. I liked it because of the homebrew like many but the controls still feel a bit unatural.
