it's the official firmware 3.95..mayb i'll ask sum1 from the forum to help me to upgrade to the latest custom firmware,so wat's yer suggestions ya? wat else can i do?

Ah,you can ONLY hack it using a Pandora's Battery.See the following.


1)Softmod the battery
-This requires you to have access to an ALREADY hacked psp a.k.a homebrew capable

2)Hardmod the battery
-This involves you cracking open the battery using a pick or anything like that,and snapping off a pin.(Very risky process,and you might cause injuries to yourself if it's not done right (No joke,i'm serious).This method might also take a couple of tries before you can get it to work,and this means....more batteries and a complete waste of money.
-Remeber,do it wrong,and your battery is cooked.


If you ask me,i'd go with the 1st process.It all depends on ya'

And yes,once you've hacked your psp,you can play homebrew games on it as well as dumped games.

If you don't have any of the above,get an original battery and a genuine memory stick and give it to someone you trust in the forums.They will convert it into a Pandora's Battery.

This pandora batt Q&A (among others) should be added to the 1st page. I've seen poor Playboy answer this same question like only a gazillion times because people are just too lazy to search or read even.

@Playboy - I think you should take over the PSP Beginners thread since the TS isn't active anymore and I think the FAQ is in sore need of updating.

That is very true.I actually am a little disappointed because people tend to rely a little too heavily on us helpers and start to get a little lazy.But i just don't have the heart to tell them "Don't be lazy" hehe.

As for the PSP Beginners Thread,thanks for the suggestion but i can't do it at the very moment.Even if i do,it'll be a complete failure because i don't spend much time online these days.Once i've done with my PMR examinations,i'll do my best man.Thanks for that

Well then, we'll just have to wait till you're done with your PMR . Even updating the 1st page with links to your guides is good enough, which by the way are very well written.

ah,thanks for those kind words man
I'll get more guides done in a couple of weeks time

new batch psp can be upgrade to CFW ?

not that soon. might take some time for hackers to do so.

not new psp motherboard cannot being modified?

cannot modify in the time being lah, in future sure can mah. wait loh

sorry to ask here maybe again and again..
how to check whether the psp is fake or not?
i'm a lil bit of confused here..pls help me.
tq

i tot fully cannot modified already

You mean you want to checl wether your memory stick is a fake one or not?
If so,scroll to any tabs in your main menu(Like video or music etc),then hit triangle.
If it says "Memory Stick : Unknown",then it's a fake memory stick.If it says MagicGate Supported,then it's genuine.

WELL... if you've been reading why the new ta-088v3 cant modified..
TA-088v3: is shipped with official firmware 4.01, it is assumed (and highly likley) battery EEPROM flashing will be disabled. Although a Pandora battery will still attempt to boot the Initial Program Load from memory stick, the preipl microcode exploit Despertar Del Cementario was using has been patched meaning only IPL's Digitally signed by Sony will boot from memory stick. Currently, installing custom firmware on the TA-088v3 motherboard is not possible.

it cant be pandorize..
almost impossible i think...
AND THAT WAS FOR PSP2000
with the new mobo for psp300.. i geuss sony have made it a lot tougher then the previous mobo..

Hi, I've looked at the 1st page and see that there's a guide on how to differentiate between fake and genuine Sony MSPD. Is there any guide on how to do the same for Sandisk MSPD?

erm i had my previous post deleted,so im using same firmware as paipai which is official firmware 3.95,how do i install 3.95GEN-2 using the softmod way?btw im clueless about making magic memory stick and pandora baterry using the softmod way...so any guide to help me?

Dude,come on' man...
I've told you a couple of times already.To create a Pandora's Battery the softmod way,you'll need access to an already hacked psp.This means you need access to a HOMEBREW CAPABLE psp.Only then you can run the Pandora's Battery creator tool.

For the hardmod way,you'll need to crack open the battery.

Please read my previous replies to your questions.

Added on August 31, 2008, 5:22 pmYeap,the best and it is the easiest way.

As for Sandisk sticks,it's just the same.I have a SanDisk stick with me

Added on August 31, 2008, 5:24 pmTry googling for some theme sites.There are plenty of em'
I only use Consolespot.net and endless paradigm though.

Added on August 31, 2008, 5:29 pmI'll give you a short explaination.

A psp can view photos (Various different formats),listen to music (wma,mp3's),watch videos(mp4),play games (3d ones),browse the net(yes,you can browse LYN).

If you've got a hacked unit,then you can play homebrew games,use homebrew applications,apply custom CTF themes and do many MORE.

As for PES2008,it won't be as good looking as the PC version,but to me..it's good.
Go read up the reviews on it,and see the game graphics for yourself.
