Hi..jz wan 2 ask sum question here..recently i went 2 a game shop n ask abt psp3000 whether they are fully cracked oledi..the shopkeeper response was that all psp3000 sold in his shop are ta-088v3 and are fully cracked (of coz with 5.03) and can even play games that are dedicated to firmware 6.20.. Can i trust this shopkeeper? And how to knw a psp is a refurbished and original frm their serial number?
I saw sum serial number begin with AB-XXXXX.. n sum begin with numbers such as 03-XXXXX...
and do the new psp3000 dun have the ic003 (in order 2 identify the motherboard) at the back of the psp (in the umd case)? .. does this means it is a refurbished set?
Sorry for a noob question and thanks 4 all the psp owner in LYN forum who answer my question..
Well the majority of these kinds of claims is false, so that seller either maybe not knowledgeable or intentionally conning unsuspecting or noob buyers.
HOWEVER, I know that back in my hometown the PSP200x/PSP300x recent boards (w/ OFW higher than 5.03) can either be modded (unsure) or swapped with either:
1. motherboard which has firmware 5.03 (and below) and therefore chickenable
2. motherboard from older PSP series which are capable of full-mod.
I'm not sure if this kind of thing exists here (in malaysia) already. My brother mentions that to me, and estimates it will cost around RM250. And only specific specialized shop/person can do it, not the usual common sellers. He says its an option for me, if I want CFW and cannot wait anymore. But it doesn't matter for me, cos currently I opt for OFW.
