I'm thinking of picking up one of these PSP 3000's off of amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/PSP-3000-Core-Pack-B...7082099&sr=

They're brand new, and being sold by Target. I was curious as to weather or not these would be hackable/downgradeable to a full CFW, or would it only be a temporary hack? I'm very new to the PSP Scene and I've been interested in getting into it. If it is hackable and I do get one, what would I need besides a Memory Stick? Would I need to get a Pandora Battery or something similar?

Thanks alot

psp 3000's, certain (newer) psp 2000's and psp Go's can't be fully hacked, but they can be hacked to an extent.

Currently, certain firmwares (6.20, 6.31, 6.35, 6.39) are semi-hackable. The extent of downgrading depends on the generation (represented by a number followed by a 'g') of the psp - if you are unsure of what generation psp you have, don't downgrade under 6.35 as it can brick your psp.

So far, only 6.20 is permanently hackable; you can chose whether to make your 6.20 psp permanent or temporary though.

A pandora battery + MMS isn't required in order to install newer hacks (such as 6.XX PRO and 6.20 TN).

ISO compatibility is higher than older firmwares (5.03/5.50 GEN, 5.00 M33, etc) that requires patches to be applied to newer games, but certain games (mostly old ones) might not work on newer hacks. POPs (PlayStation on PSP) compatibility is also greatly reduced, due to the lack of Popsloader.

here's a full-fledged tutorial on hacking, basically, any psp: http://gbatemp.net/t293978-how-to-softmod-hack-your-psp

Chances are very high that the new 3000s will have the 09g module, so no, you won't be able to downgrade to 6.20 for a permanent CFW. In all honesty, it's not that troublesome using a LCFW.

Pandora batteries can only be used for PSP 1000s and some of the 2000 models, so don't worry about them at all.

I strongly recommend reading the "How To Softmod (Hack) Your PSP" and "PSP hacking/modding F.A.Q. (Start Here!" stickied threads for more information.

Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure every PSP Go can be fully hacked, as the latest firmware they ship with is 5.70. So every PSP Go can be downgraded to 6.20 too.

    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
