I finally broke down and bought a component cable, to be able to play PSP games on a TV. The experience was… disappointing, to say the least. The entire PSP screen takes up a fraction of the television’s screen, somewhat killing the point of having a TV cable. The XMB/DVD playback screen is larger (it’s displayed in interlaced mode), but still relatively small.
This probably wouldn’t be that big of an issue, if the cable worked on traditional TV’s (it won’t, unless your TV supports progressive scan), but it doesn’t, and using it on a big-screen TV kinda makes you wonder why the whole thing was put together in the first place.

Well, in fact you can use FuSa application for PSP which allows fullscreen playing on TVs. Check it out:

Thanks,
I found out about FuSa shortly after the post. Makes you wonder why the PSP doesn’t have such functionality built in.
Yeah, i also wonder why Sony still ignores lots of wonderful homebrew additions to their console.
I’m not sure that’s a bad thing, necessarily. Any day I don’t receive a ‘cease and desist’ letter is a good day by me
