Issues with Image Sequencing on the PSP
If you are reading this, you will probably want to read a newer post on the same topic here.
We've had a couple people (two exactly -- one on issue #1 and #2 each) email us about issues they've experienced with the images not appearing in the correct sequence when they are copied over to their PSP. I've had this same issue with a couple PSP formatted magazines myself. I can't find any official documentation on how the PSP sequences images, but it has been the leading theory that it is based on the date the files are created/last modified (and that's exactly how we publish the images: saving them out one-at-a-time in the sequence they are intended to be viewed).
I submitted this question to the PSP support site and was directed to call their tech support team -- which I did. These guys are trained mainly to deal with the kind of stuff covered in the manual ... like troubleshooting WiFi connection and stuff like that (although the guy I spoke with told me some funny stories about all the calls he gets from people asking him how to beat a level or boss in some random game). He didn't have an answer to my question, but he did do something very cool: he put me on hold and actually walked over to the engineers who work near him and asked them. And they did indeed verify that the PSP sequences images based on their date created or last modified.
That being said, it seems people do have issues with this every once in a while. So what I'm wondering is, has anyone else experienced this with NYC2123? And does anyone out there have any insight into solutions for this problem?

There are no problems when you use Windows Explorer, but when using a program designed to send pictures to the PSP the modified dates on the file do tend to change every once and awhile because of the way the program handles the files. My solution is to just use Windows Explorer whenever tranfering files to the PSP.

i cant dload it strait to psp from psp browser and if you know can you put the directions on the site thanks
There are PSP instructions at the bottom of this page.
In response to the comment from "anonymous" about not being able to download NYC2123 to the PSP from the PSP browser:
Please see our PSP instructions here: http://nyc2123.com/instructions.html
You will want to download the files to your desktop or laptop and then transfer the files to your PSP.
However, you can view each issue of NYC2123 via you PSP browser at our PSP optimized Web site here:

no pc so i guess i will just save image 52 times
PSPhoto works great to solve this problem. It puts all pics in a folder onto your psp in the same order that they were on your PC by time stamping them in sequential order as it adds them.
You can download the Web-Version of Issue 2 with Webspider 2. Then it work on the psp
