several sites had confirmed the exploit, so cfw is just in the matter of time
so lets sit back and wait for the good news, those who had updated their psp3k, your hope is back

as far as i know there's FFVIII for ps3, not sure is there for psp or not

+1 couldn't agree more thats a must for psp

if i'm not mistaken, the preloaded firmware for GT bundle is not capable of doing custom firmware as it is higher than 5.03
currently the most widely used psp3k CFW is 5.03Gen-C
there's another CFW call 5.03 DT-A, but its just about the same with gen-c

no worries la, if you're purchasing from reputable sellers or ethical sellers, most of the time they either inform you, or they include those CFW files and teach you how to activate it

actually i don't get it what you mean by format or reset psp
if you want to do reset on settings, it won't affect your psp at all
and format, are you referring to format your memory card?

hmm, i'm getting more confused
1st of all, what problem you're facing with your current psp?

owh...its a psp 2k or 3k? if its a psp2k with permanent CFW, turn it off fully, then hold R and turn it on, and try to reset settings in recovery menu, if its a 3k, then i also no idea what can be done edi

can or can't? if can't which step you couldn't proceed? it keeps hanging but never reboot to chichken r2?

have you try to boot your psp without memory card slot in? if you haven't try this, remove your memory card, then try to turn it on

if still cannot, try to run with ac adapter, see can run or not, because your case doesn't sound like a brick, a brick at least the power led will still stay on

you might want to consider sending it to reliable shops to check it out in this case, there's a comment in youtube link saying fuse problem(not my idea)

anyway, for those psp2kv3/psp3k owners who had accidentally updated to OFW 6.20, your hope of CFW is coming soon, as Eloader for 6.20 is already full functional with patapon demo exploit

i can't help you on this because i really got no idea which component went wrong, perhaps u might want to pm those psp hardmodder or those who fix psp and ask them for quotation

its patapon 2 demo, source from pspgen, not sure am i allowed to link or not

sad sad sad, just noticed my psp got dead/stuck pixel

anyway, how do you determine whether its a dead or stuck pixel? if its a stuck pixel is there a way to "release" it?

yup, make sure the psp is running OFW 5.03 or lower in order for you to run temporary CFW
memory stick not necessary required to be original, fake 1 will work as well but some report that fake mem stick tend to have problems like file corrupted but some are using it fine

there are alternative to memory stick, you can buy an adapter call photofast and use it with micro-sd, or you can use M2 with mspd adapter, both will work well
cost wise photofast is cheaper, speed wise i think photofast is faster provided u get high class of micro-sd

it depends what game you planning to get, not all games got PSN version
and also self preference on screen size, some prefer a bigger screen, so they'll go for 3k instead of Go
some prefer Go because of smaller size for handy

i'm mentioning PSN its because Go doesn't have UMD drive and no CFW, so your games must be from PSN, certain games doesn't release PSN version, i think kingdom hearts is one of them

go look for 5.03 Gen-C, "install" it, then find 5.03 Prometheus, "install" it, and try again

and i read some reviews saying it doesn't work with CFW, so...if you are full time running on CFW i would say don't bother buying it

oh..actually you can opt for PSN games for cheaper solution while waiting for it to be cracked
but now i think latest firmware is 6.30, but the hackers are working on 6.20 i think

lets just sit back and hope for them to settle it soon

as long as you don't delete Chickhen folder and 5.03 Gen-C then u are good to go

if possible leave clock speed as default, higher clock speed drains battery faster.
Certain games will automatically set clock speed higher due to more intense graphic and etc
put it default will do
