Gaming Is there anyway to tell if it is a softmod, hardmod, semi-hackable, or fully hacked psp?

[Lastly]

I need to update to the cfw, but I'm not sure what hack I'm running or whatever. Is there a way to tell what cfw I'm running and what guide should I use? Also I want to know what cfw I'm running. I thought it is 5.50, but it shows 5.00 in System Information. Is there a way?

Are there any letters after the 5.00? If it is 5.00 M33 for example, you are at a CFW, if not you are at OFW.

If you are at CFW, you have a full hackable PSP. If you are at OFW, follow this guide to update to 5.03 OFW and check your motherboard.

IF you go to your system settings and PSP information, it will show you usually....

5.50GEN or 5.00M33 or 5.03 ChikenHen.

if it's 5.03 chickenhen it is semi-hackable, this means it you to constantly reload the software (you'd know if you have this kind of psp, which is newer psp2000 and psp3000 devices).

there are no true hardmods for psps.

If it's 5.00 yes you can totally upgrade. I can give you a tutorial page if you want it. PM me. You'll be on 5.50GEND3 Final. which runs everything, but make sure you "run" games that have been patched.
