For a short time I had two PSPs, my own black classic one and a silver Slim, which I bought for my sensei in Poland. Putting aside the hardware differences, there was one thing which has caught my eye and which I have been unable to logically explain. Observe two instances of Lumines 2 on the photo below and you will notice that the menu font is different in each case (click on the photo for zoom) :
PSP Slim was running the latest 3.71 firmware (original Sony one), while my PSP Classic was on 3.40OE firmware. Both instances of Lumines 2 where started from the same American version UMD. I don't know why the fonts are different - because of some changes in the firmware? I can't see any other possible cause, but as far as I know the game doesn't use system fonts (and they look different, to begin with).
Truly a case for X-Files archive. If any of you has any idea as to what might be the cause, please let me know.

There are two solutions that come to my mind. One - games are different. Try to swap UMD disc and check if fonts changed. Two - games are indeed using system fonts, although I don't recall PSP having serif font in its firmware.
I WAS swapping a disc. This is the very same UMD in both cases. And yes, there are no Serif fonts embedded in PSP firmware. I simply don't understand.
BTW, you get up early...
