Hacking I'm thinking of getting (got) a PSP, but......

[Rayder]

Would I need a pandora battery to downgrade (if my replacement 2000 is higher than 6.20), or can it be done in software?

It can be done with the software.

Most people just use the pandora to install certain CFWs (like GEN or M33) or to unbrick the compatible psps.

My plan is that whatever OFW it has, it will go to CFW 6.20 PRO-B9 perma.

Welp, wish me luck, I'm off to make the exchange.

EDIT: It's looks like I should be good to go. The exchanged PSP 2000 (charging now) has OFW 5.50 in it, so all I need to to is update to OFW 6.20, then hacky-hacky.

Just hope this one isn't bugged out somehow too. Don't worry, I'll run it through its paces.

Oh, but wah! I lost my perty Tranformers skin......pfft.

I wouldn't worry about them declining it since I see people talking about
getting a hacked second-hand PSP from retail stores all the time.

Just don't show them its hacked

. Also my PSP game with a 1GB stick
and they had no clue it was in there. So it seems they don't even check this
stuff

I still find it ironic how you made a post how you hate Gamestop and would never buy from them, but you just bought a PSP from them. By the way today I went to Gamestop to trade in my PSP just to see the price they would offer and they offered $15...

 

[kevan]

=D $15

These places love ripping off their loyal, cash paying customers to the max.

They also fed me with a lot of bullshit how I should trade in that PSP and get a new PSP 3000 because it supports more content and games.

 

[kevan]

More content and games?

Thats just evil selling tactics there

In PSPident, what is Fuse ID? (somehow, I doubt it's anything vitally important) That's the only thing different about my newly exchanged one's PSPident readout.

Man, I AM a PSP newb.....this exchanged PSP and the first one are as different as night and day. The UMD drive is quieter, the buttons are snappier and the analog pad glides MUCH smoother. I think that first one was used-and-abused. This one I have now seems like-new in comparison.

That first one had a Transformers skin on it, this one has a screen protector. Gee, which do you think is more practical? (question is rhetorical)

Anyway, all hacked and working great with CFW 6.20 PRO-B9. Yay.

I'll look into emu's and PS1 gaming once I get a larger memory stick. There's plenty of guides online to teach me how to do that stuff anyway.

Thanks everyone for all the help and advice.

Time to play me some PSP games!

Anyways the Fuse ID appears to be a unique ID per PSP.

I still need to get myself a replacement analog stick+assembly for my 2000...
