Do you mean you want to softmod it by using your MSPD?
Also,if you mean softmod,explain in detail on what you want to do with your fat psp.

Nope.You need a Pandora's Battery to hack your psp.You do NOT need to "hardmod" your psp in order to hack it.

There are several methods to create a Pandora's Battery.

1)Using an already hacked psp.
-Just run the installer and the Magic Memory Stick creator on the psp and DONE!

2)Crack open the psp battery and cut a pin in it
-Then create the Magic Memory Stick on your psp using an easy-installer etc.

*NOTE* : The battery hardmodding process can be quite an hassle as it can cause multiple injuries if not done right.Also,it might take several batteries before you can get it to work.This in other words means,pure waste of money.

*It's BETTER to get an original battery instead of a "Cetak-rompak" one.*

Tell me which process suites you better,and i'll give you instructions on how to do it.

Alright
1)What firmware is your psp?
2)What CXMB are you trying to run on it?
3)Do you have the .ctf themes in PSP/THEME?



Once you answer the above,i might be able to help you get some nice themes on your psp.

As for pspfiler,you might not have installed it right.

Added on August 29, 2008, 10:37 pmYup,you do.It'll be all good if you can get a 1gb genuine memory stick.

Alright,follow this guide,and install CXMB 3.2.1 on your psp.It's compatible with 3.71m33,3.80m33,3.90m33 and 4.01m33 so you're all good to go.

Make sure the themes are for 3.71m33.They should all be in a ".CTF" format.Try this theme (Just an example)

http://www.2alien.net/community/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=140

Download that theme,follow the guide above,install CXMB,place the CTF file in ms0:/PSP/THEME and select it in the themes tab.

But still bazir duit mah.. xD

I tried 5 times,and it only worked twice.
Genuine stick = worked like a charm.

Follow this guide TJK911.It'll help you to upgrade your psp custom firmware from anything higher than 3.52m33-2,to 4.01m33.
Simple guide by me

I'm sorry to say,but that's a very silly thing to do.Now that you've upgraded it from 4.01m33 --> 4.05 official firmware,you can only revert back to your previous firmware(custom firmware) if you have a Pandora's Battery.

Read the following Pandora's Battery creation methods,and tell me which ope suits you best.

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'


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.

Added on August 30, 2008, 1:53 pmYou can't access recovery mode on official firmware psps.Why? Because there isn't one.

All themes don't work? Including the one i linked you?
Also,did you follow my guide and use the CXMB 3.2.1 included in it?

CXMB 3.2.1 (The one in my guide) works perfectly on 3.71m33 units.I don't understand why it doesn't work for you.Did you follow the guide exactly as it's written?
Also,your themes should be in the THEME folder.No s behind it.

So it's like - ms0:/PSP/THEME/heartbeat.ctf

*Heartbeat.ctf is the theme's name.*

Try it again.If it doesn't work,upgrade to 4.01m33 and use it.

You sure can upgrade your psp to 4.01m33,but you'll need to perform one extra step first.You need to upgrade your psp to 3.52m33-4.Only then you can upgrade your psp to 4.01m33.

3.52m33-4 Easy-Installer Download Link

Download that,and run the .exe file on your PC.It'll install all the files to the correct directory on your psp and all you need to do is to run it on your PSP.

1)Kernel must be set to 1.50 for the installer to run.(Hold the off switch for 3-5 seconds,then HOLD R and boot your psp up.Go to configuration and hit X at the third option until it says 1.50 kernel.)

2)Run the "M33Upgrade352" which has a "space/galaxy" like background.

3)Once the upgrade is over,run the Update-4 which has the calendar like background.

Done!

Then follow this guide of mine to upgrade your psp from 3.52m33-4 to 4.01m33.

4.01m33 Upgrade Guide by Playboy

Very easy right?
Feel free to ask if you fail to understand anything.We can sort you out....hopefully

No problem.Hope you can get it to work
Good luck mate

Yeap,format the memory stick on your PSP(backup ALL your important files first),connect the USB cable to your PC and then run the easy-installer (.exe file) on your PC.It should then place all the installer files to the GAME directory on your memory stick.

And yes,a USB cable is needed

Added on August 30, 2008, 5:39 pmBoth custom firmwares work fine.And as i told you,you need a Pandora's Battery in order to install custom firmware on your unit.As for the themes,i've already replied in the other thread regarding ptf themes.You can't use CTF themes on your current official firmware.

Added on September 1, 2008, 1:12 amSnes emulators that are ported to 3.xx kernel works fine on 4.xx kernel as well,so it's all good.
Download this,and install it as you would do to any other homebrew.

haha.I rarely play snes games.The only one i play is "Mario Kart" which is boring.I like the NES emulator a lot.I play mario on it all the time

Well,as Lacus said,he got it to work perfectly on his fake memory stick so i think it's all good.It of course is recommended to get a genuine stick,but a fake one is fine
The real problem is the Pandora's Battery.If you manage to get it done,then you're cool.Why? Because the memory stick creation is a hassle free process which can either be done using a hacked psp,or via the PC.

Follow this guide.It's known to work on 4.01m33 units.
