maybe the difference lies in the memory size different, the slim ver homebrew may be coded to optimize the additional memory

it just like computer softwares... no different if u are using 512mb or 8gb of ram in your computer.. it still the same software.. it just the hardware itself that do the job. maybe for psp.. the firmware inside tell how to allocate those programs inside the ram. maybe laaa....
Well, in that case, i guess there will only be optimization of the extra ram rite? Meaning, when M33 comes out with the 3.60 firmware, PSP fat are able to use it?
The point for me is, why is there a 3.70 firmware that is ONLY for the FAT instead of the Slim? Wouldn't they be on the same hardware + some additional ram feature?

So, I'm coming to Malaysia in 2 weeks. Can I buy a hacked PSP slim and for how much? I just spent 2 hrs surfing to understand it all and I'm still confused!
I dont even know if I can play officially bought games in Asia on a US Machine (or vice versa)!
If anyone knows, how much will a hacked PSP Slim in Low Yat/S. Wang set me back? How about em games?
Thanks!
OK, this is how it goes..
AFAIK, games on the PSP are region free. Thus, no matter where you buy the PSP from, you will still be able to buy and play games anywhere around the world irregardless of region. Thus, you do not need to get specific region PSP. However, this does not applies to UMD movies though..
As off now, i am pretty sure most of the PSP Slim available on sale now are not on CFW. Thus, you will still need to wait for it to arrives. Heck, the last time i check, even M33 site is stating they are "coming soon" instead of released. Therefore, just wait for it to arrive and do it on your own. If not, when its here, i do feel people will jack up the price of the PSP Slim..
Games wise, i dont think there will be any difference between games for PSP Slim or the Fat version. So, they would roughly be around RM50 - RM180. Other "ahem" games, i think you will have your way of finding it..
Hope this helps..
