oh thanks... mine is psp1002, australia. so...in which case mine would be? NTSC/J, NTSC/UC and NTSC/J Asia?

I think NTSC/J and NTSC/UC is applicable to PS2 but not PSP. PSP games are not region coded.
PSP1002 is a Region 4 PSP intended for sale in Australia. It will only play Region 4 UMD movies if you are using OFW. You may be able to play most/some of other region UMD movies if you are using CFW.

U sure about this? How to do it? Have u try to play other region UMD movie with ur cfw PSP? No...i'm not talking about ripping it to ISO.

That mean cfw fake region still cant play any other region UMD movies. Maybe ur region 4 UMD movie is like....region free? Lol...dont know. I only got region 2 (japan) UMD and it cant be play on region 1 PSP. Region 2 PSP can play both region 2 UMD from japan or europe.

read this and think

UMD Regions

DVD region coding has been applied to most UMD movies, although a large majority of UMD games are "Region 0" ("All Zone") which makes them playable in all PSP systems.

    * Region 0: Worldwide (in-flight-movies, cinemas, ferries, etc.)
    * Region 1: United States, Canada, U.S. territories, Latin America
    * Region 2: European Union, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland, French territories
    * Region 3: Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore
    * Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands
    * Region 5: Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, India, the majority of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia
    * Region 6: Mainland China

Model numbers

On the base of the PSP is the model number of the unit. This number indicates the intended region the unit was designed for. These model numbers are as follows:

    * PSP1000 - Japan
    * PSP1001 - USA
    * PSP1002 - Australia
    * PSP1003 - United Kingdom
    * PSP1004 - Europe, Middle East, and Africa
