psp quick question..

so i decided i'm going to go out and rebuy a psp, thinking a used psp 3000. my question is, is every firmware downgradable/can i run custom firmware on any, or are there firmwares that i should look out for when doing this? the main thing i want to do with this psp is run homebrew/emus and stuff like that. so is there anything i should look for when buying or am i basically safe with any now?

Idk about PSP300 but i am pretty sure I read newer PSPs have a different motherboard that doesnt allow the pandora trick anymore.

would it be safer to stick with a 2000?

Yeah, just make sure it's a hackable 2000 because some aren't,

what would i look for when buying it?

Well I think there are certain unhackable motherboards or something. And some of the special game customized psp's aren't hackable I think.
There is a topic here somewhere that tells you what to look for but it might be a little dated.

What is the difference between hackable and unhackable motherboards?? And what is the benefit of hackable motherboard as you are giving very much importance to buy the hackable one.

with a hackable motherboard, you can run "custom firmware" which will allow you to run emulators, homebrew, among other great applications on it. most people look for those when buying them, because you can do a bit more on it than you can with a regular one.

some of the easy to hack are the GoW, Starwars, Silver, Ceramic white, just to name some.


i would get a 1000 if i were you. iR port. fun stuff.

I dont know why, but 5.50 gen-d just doesnt get installed on my friends phat..

playing rockband on gen D corrupts the MS. like there IS no custom firmware. the vsh menu wont open, cxmb is disabled, ISO's dont show up....

ok, u have to enable the vsh menu from the recovery, so that works, cxmb works fine for me.. u just need the new and full version of it..(PSP slim silver)

You don't get it. It UN DOES IT. Rockband STOPS the cfw from doing it thing. Its like.a STOCK PSP

well atleast the good thing about it is that its inside firmware is 9.69 or 9.99, so we can play games till then..

That's not....your missing it. You have 550Gen-D? Go get rockband and hit the home button and quit the game. Do it.
