Ok,i do not have the link to it's ruling,but here is one.

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/is_it_legal_t...y_sony_psp.html

Very good explanation.

To be honest with you,i never knew that until a few months ago when Freeplay (Wildc*rd custom firmware developer) told me about it.

I see... Wow, thank you for this piece of info. I'll put that into the first post.

Q: Are custom firmwares legal?

(credits to Playboy21)

ouch yes sir.

that guy says it isn't a good idea to hack your psp because he's just afraid of the bricking phenomenon..

the whole 'sony hunting dark_alex' part was enough of a GENERAL idea to tell me that cFW is illegal.

cFW is illegal, but homebrew applications are not

Thanks man

My tool,TrickBrickv3 release thread.

where to find the 2nd hand one meh?pls..

erm.. price quite nice

bro.. if i were you, i will buy directly, if is slim 2000..
but make sure this model can be upgrade version to m33 version

now the currently market price for psp slim 2000 (modify) set RM 900 "...

isn't that all PSP2000 series is moddable ?

dattebayo,no.Newer ones that are equipped with Pandora proof mother boards cannot be hacked yet.

The firmware is said to have already V3.90 M33-3.

Should this be upgradable?

Xalvin,if so,you're all good.

It's just the matter of having custom firmware installed on your unit or not.Seeing that it has custom firmware on it,there's no problem whatsoever.

I wonder when psp3k can be modded.
If can, then is heaven ~~

-delete-

one very good reason is that ur cables connecting ur LCD is loose... or semi break or maybe even dirty at the connection... so u'll be fine sometime and not the other.... try opening up ur PSP and locate the cables....

check for any loose point or maybe folded badly point... cables like this are very vulnerable to fold....

ok... some of the forumer here want to make a gathering

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/775275/+780

all can come, there are really cheap pandora service if you need it..
can exchange games and etc..

here are the suggestion

Suggested date of gathering: 06/12/2008 (Haji Holiday Weekend)
Suggested time of gathering: 12 noon till until anytime lahhh as long as we're there....
Suggested venue of gathering: Shah Village or either the A&W of Taman Jaya PJ.... (easier to locate, but if u know the A&W, Shah Village is just right behind of it if i was not wrong...)

come and lets have some fun!

really?? how to tell whether its one? hw abt the ones sold in Sony official stores?

PSP 3000 currently cant be hacked

PSP 2000 the only that hacked.

So if want buy,ask the taukeh which type u want.

Hi guys,
Does cw 0.2.2revD work on 5.00m33-3?
I search around, didnt find any anwer

If it doesnt, what else can i use?
Thanks

er... not all PSP 2k can be hacked.
the last few batches that uses the TA-088v3 boards and above cannot be hacked.. yet. tried & tested
and some tau keh like to tipu ppl.. don't trust them too much

for the safest bet get the phat psp, psp 1k.

psp phat gamepad not that good for action games, especially fighting games.

of course buyers will try to run ahem games on the spot first before paying

really? i played a few times & dint see any difference... ok, so the weight was really light....

come on~ elaborate.. maybe can stick some of the slim's parts into the phat, make it a hybrid.

My brew' has made it to the front page of psp-hacks.com.Check it out.

not the weight. if you have psp phat, try play the Street Fighter Zero 3 for psp, you will get what i mean.

Guys, how to watch youtube video on psp? Running my PSP with CFW 4.01m33. Thanks.

VHunter,you cannot do so using your psp's internet browser.However,SofiyaCat,a psp developer has made it possible to watch YouTube videos on the psp by developing an application called PSPTUBE.

Forgot to ask you guys. What are the must-haves for PSP? Theres so many packages selling and I find some things unnecessary.

Heres a sample package :
1 x Sony PSP Slim & Lite console(Black) - Firmware 4.01m33(Modded)
1 x Battery Pack (1200mAh) *100% original
1 x AC Adapter (100-240V) *100% original
1 x Box & Printed Material
1 x Polycarbonate Case
1 x USB Car Charger
1 x Retractable Charging Cable & Data Cable
1 x UMD Disc and MS Pro Duo Card Case
1 x Neck Strap
1 x Wrist Strap
1 x Cleaning Cloth
1 x Screen Protector
1 x 4 Analog Stick Silicon Gloves
1 x Earphone
1 x Games
1 x PSP Slim Soft Pouch
1 x Sony Hand Strap
1 x Sony Pro Duo Memory Stick 4GB for PSP

From what I see, most important is Battery, AC Adaptor, and Memory Card.
What other things I need? Is the 2 in 1 cable important? I think I'll need it to transfer downloaded files from my comp right?

Again, is the above package enough for me to : Surf Online using WFi, watch movies and videos, and play PS1 Games, and MP3?

Xalvin,it all depends on you.If you think you're a careless sort of a person,you should get the hand strap to prevent your psp from falling down and so on.It's all up to you.

Yes,that unit will satisfy all your needs.No need to worry

congratz lulz.

hehehe,thanks

i dun think this few things is a must in the package... so u can just cut it off the package

1 x USB Car Charger
1 x Retractable Charging Cable & Data Cable
1 x UMD Disc and MS Pro Duo Card Case(only if u have multiple memory card)
1 x Neck Strap
1 x Wrist Strap
1 x 4 Analog Stick Silicon Gloves

hmm there's 2 straps.. what is it?

sony hand strap & wrist strap? same thing?

@Xalvin

why u dont wat those unnecessary thing?
is that about the price? hmm.. all those thing my be needed someday..
at that time u need to buy it too.. if the price not too big just accept it..

hey guys i'm new here.. had a read about bernard and nelson who retails psp consoles. sounds like they're the most reliable... correct?

i should be gettin a console next month when i'm back in KL. which cfw should i get with the console?

thanks guys... everyone's posts have helped me learn a lot about PSP

I want to know too.

I've heard there are many issues on the 5.00m33 not working with PS1 games and other homebrews.
And I don't think I have the balls to try to update the version myself since I don't wanna brick it.

on the contrary, there's this handy little thing called popsloader developed by m33 for psx games support. it can use the .prx files from old firmwares to run psx games (yes you can choose). u can actually choose which version of firmware (starting from 1.5 to 4.01) module to use for the psx games, example : 3.71 may have better support for crash bandicoot, etc.

here's mine.
[attachmentid=675480]
as u can see i only have the modules starting from 3.00, dint bother getting the older ones because newer firmwares already has some pretty good psx support. i just like to keep them around, just in case

it doesnt really matter which firmware if you're using popsloader for it.

all the homebrew apps i've tried so far are fine. even playboy's trick brick.

and yes i'm using 5.00 m33-3 currently. i'm quite happy with it

but if there's no need to update, don't do it.

Where you get that price?I want to buy also..hehe..

the V3.90 M33-3 is stable than the latter version?

It's not the question of which firmware is much more stable and so on.It's how YOU feel about it.3.71M33 --> 5.00M33 are all decent firmwares. If you tend to play a lot of commercial games,then go ahead and upgrade to 5.00M33 in order to keep up with the updates to play newer releases. If you're a homebrew lover,then just leave it as it is. It's up to you really.
