C-Note,yes.The new mother boards are unhackable at the very moment.

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

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.

Thanks man

My tool,TrickBrickv3 release thread.

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

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.

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

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.

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

hehehe,thanks

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.

dattebayo,are you by anychance a programmer?

Just asking

Ah cool man

hehehehehe

Yes,developing your own homebrew is simple,as chicaman mentioned.Just refer to the headers,the functions,then insert them in your code.Add the callbacks,and you're good to go.

Yup, it'll be cool. Imagine if we manage to form a team. We can name it Team LYN and we can code together lol. That'll be cool

I don't know about the UMD.

About the upgrade,yes,you can upgrade directly.

Note : There have been many cases of bricks upon upgrade,so it's up to you to take the risk.Otherwise,it's all good.


Requirements :
1)A phat/slim psp which has custom firmware 3.52m33-3 or any firmware above it.
*Minimum requirement is 3.52m33-3*

Guide

1) First of all,you need to set your kernel to 3.xx/4.xx.You can do so in recovery mode or in your VSH menu (if you have the VSH addon plugin installed)

**Recovery : Hold the off switch for 3-5 seconds,then HOLD R and boot your psp up.Now go to configuration,and click X at the "Game Folder Homebrew" option until it displays as 3.xx/4.xx kernel.Example : On a 3.52m33-3/4 psp,it should show as 3.52 kernel.

2) Download the 5.00M33 installer : http://exophase.com/files/psp/5.00M33.rar

3) Download the 5.00 eboot.pbp : http://exophase.com/files/psp/500.PBP

4) Use your preferred software to extract the 5.00M33 rar file.You should now get two folders (UPDATE and Translate) as well as a readme.txt file.

5) Copy the UPDATE folder and paste it in ms0:/PSP/GAME.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp **

6)Time,for the 5.00 eboot (step 2).

7) Copy the 500.PBP and paste it in your ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE directory.

** It should now look like this : ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/eboot.pbp and 500.pbp **

8) That's all,seriously.All you need to do now is to run the installer on your PSP.

** The installer will seem very official like,but don't worry,that's how it's supposed to be like **

9) Remember,once the update is over,PRESS X/O when it asks you to do so or your psp will brick!!

10) What else,enjoy!

PSPSDK.

Hey guys, i just found this cool plugin that allows you to change your psp's custom firmware name to anything you want like "13.37 Playboy Edition" or anything like that.
ONLY FOR 5.00 CUSTOM FIRMWARES




You can find the download link here : 5.00M33 Spoof

Feel free to post screenshots of your psp's nickname in the "PSP CUSTOMIZATION THREAD - PIMP YOUR PSP by wetfusion" but REMEMBER to block your Mac Address as developers can do wonders with it.
