Added on February 25, 2010, 8:24 pmnot yet, with all the news recently, it sound like the time for it is getting near, so DONT UPDATE THE FIRMWARE ANYMORE, and do go around installing any cfw at the moment, it will brick ya psp.

how bout using photofast with 2x8GB microSD card (that mean you have 16GB memory stick). all of it cost around rm170


to get your psp on, you need battery and a psp, to maintain your psp you need charger, to start playing games you need memory stick and also umd, to play for free you need usb cable for transfering data and some plugin.

in summary:

hardware-
1.psp
2.battery
3.memory stick
4.charger

software
1. chickHEN
2. 5.03 gen-c or cfwe3.70

magicgate just to check whether the card genuine right? if you know your card is reliabel and fast so dont bother about it

how about a cover for your psp, to protect it from scrathing, you can buy aluminium casing, or condom (the rubbery case, dont know what its call, nylon??), or plastic casing, playgear pocket is good around rm70-rm80,

screen protector is like a must, dont want scratches for ya psp, replacement casing for psp3k is still hard to search i think. you can try asking for free when buying your psp (if the protector isnt included in the package).

or if you dont want anything that is bulky, try gadgetshieldz, try to search at garage sale, it a invisible skin to protect your psp body, all around the body. including the screen and the back. rm27.


ask about the firmware is the first thing. what firmware is it on, if you asking for psp2k, ask what version of motherboard is it on, if the shop keeper like blur or dont know, i suggest go to other shop.
if you are buying psp3k or 2k mobo v3, ask if they include chickhen file and the firmware gen-c file in the memory stick. if they say you must pay for it. DONT PAY. you can get it free on the net.
ask about what included in the package also a must.

ask the shop keeper to teach you how to activate chickHEN and also the cfw.

from alot of asking, you can see if the shop owner nice or not, if nice they sure give you good after sale service.

lcd i heard the price is going up, try asking lacus or azamen27, i think they know more about hardware.

have you try turn off auto start UMD at the system setting.

you can delete the files, BUT, psp3k and psp2k mobo v3, cant have permanent cfw. the cfw will disapear after you shutdown after you turn off your psp. you need to do the activating again after turning on the psp (chickHEN -> gen-c).so if you dont have the file then how to activate it again. unless you want to play official games. then its all right.

i can see that you didnt mention about cfw in your post. you know that pspident is just to check the mother board, it is not custom firmware. and chickHEN is a software that you need to activate before activating custom firmware. you can try to search about 5.03Gen-C. that is custom firmware for psp3k and psp2k mobo v3. dont install other than that, 5.50gen-d3 is not for psp3k and psp2k mobo v3.

ya it is safe to change memory cards, there are people who use one memory card to store the custom firmware files and chickhen, and other memory cards to store games,

Added on February 27, 2010, 2:52 pmpsp2000 now comes with a motherboard that cant be hack, it is the same as you are buying psp3000, the motherboards version is TA088 v3

but there maybe some store that still sell psp 2000 with old motherboard version (088 v2 and lower). so just to be safe, ask what motherboard is the psp2000 have. if it say it runs with chickHen then is v3 motherboard. if you cant found psp2k with motherboard v2 and lower, you better of buying psp3000.

got mah psp gagetshieldz today, very superb protector skin, transparent, it also make the psp kinda kesat, so when you grip it, sure wont slip.

took me about 3 hours i think to install this protector, maybe coz its mah first time and i celup in to too much soap solution.

very shiok liao with this protective skin. no bulky at all.

aiyo, got no camera at the moment, after get camera i will upload,

if want a preview of the skin, can search youtube, psp gadgetshieldz

try to reset to default setting using the system setting.

im using L.M.A.O, most probably many of you havent heard it. i use the chickHEN, and mhuspeed before, and L.M.A.O the best, after 1st time succes no more problem after that, even if change theme, tarik the battery out, or what so ever you do, it still work, just press the folder and wait, no need scroll2.

you sure you still on 5.03 firmware? check your system information. really still on 5.03?


do this then. back up all your memory stick to your computer, reformat your memory stick, then look at the backup you made, delete the picture folder, h.bin and egghun.bin from the root
make sure there are no leftover.traces of the chickHEN in your memory card

watch,download,install this.

you can also install the sedna plugin to make your psp reboot into gen-c. this is useful when you install new plugin and want to restart your psp, just use the reboot option in the VSH menu (push select button to pop it up) and your psp will reboot straight into gen-c.
