I've been considering buying a PSP lately. I'm looking at hacking it, mainly to be able to have all my classic PSX games on a portable hand-held.
Any way, I've been on quite a few PSP forums and have been thoroughly bamboozled as to the possibility of hacking a newly bought PSP300X and how one would go about it. I hope you kind people could answer some of my questions.
A new PSP comes with 5.05 firmware out of the box, correct? I've heard there is no way to downgrade to 5.03 as of yet, but I've I've been told that the 'Custom Firmware Enabler' (I think it was) can be insalled/run on a PSP 300X with 5.05 firmware. Is this true? According to Davee's DevSite (http://davee.x-fusion.co.uk/), V3 of ChickHEN works on 5.05, unless I misread it, so at least that part would work.
Also, according to Davee's DevSite, ChickHEN will brick a PSP if it touches the flash, how then does the Custom Firmware Enabler work if a brick will occur if the PSP is flashed to?
Thanks a lot,
SpiralArms.
