Hacking Just Got a Darth Vader PSP(Hack Help)

[cruznik71450]

Went and bought a Darth Vader PSP today. It has firmware 3.95 where do I start for hacking? I Have never Hacked a PSP before and i really don't want to mess it up. Thanks I'm a complete noob to this.

Your psp is fully hackable to my knowledge, so you can put what you want on there, but

you have a some choices to make depending on what you want, preferably what CFW you want.

What do you want on it exactly?

 

[cruznik71450]

I want to play backups, emu's, and PSX games on it.

Just follow the How to softmod your PSP sticky. Since you have a fully hackable 200x (check with PSPIdent as described in that sticky how to identify your mobo) and you're new i suggest that you update all the way to 5.50 Prometheus-4

 

[cruznik71450]

So can I run Backups, PSX and Emulator's with 5.50 Prometheus-4?

 

[xist]

For a noob user it's the simplest way to accomplish all those things with minimal fuss.

Ran through the tutorial and it worked like a charm. Got Prom-4 cfw installed and the backups i have work like a charm. thanks again.

Whatever the folks around here tell you, buy a Pandora battery. well worth the $7-8...

It's useful if you like flashing stuff.

Or, you can get a battery, and install CFW on the PSP and convert the battery into a Pandora so if it screws itself up, you can restore it with minimal fuss.

Why would you bother ruining a good battery?

I have one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/pandora-servi...0-1800mah-22349

Works excellent in both modes.

Why bother? Because not everyone can buy online.

 

[themuddaload]

Because if you brick your shit its nice to be able to recover? And an extra battery is nice.

You can convert them back, too.

Turning a battery into a jigkick DOES NOT ruin it. Not only can you convert it back to normal (even the OP due to his Vader PSP being a TA-085v1), but you can use a jigkick for normal operations provided you flash multi-ipl to your memstick.

 

[themuddaload]

i'd like to see how you open the battery without messing up the case

 

[xist]

He's softmodding, you're hardmodding. I have 2 Original batteries softmodded to Jigkicks using OSPBT....they can be reverted any time i need without messing up the case.

Softmodding a battery is fine if you can do it but you can't if you don't have access to CFW in the first place....
I'd agree though that Hardmodding a battery whilst sometimes reversible is a waste of resources and pretty pointless given the prices....

 

[themuddaload]

But TS said he has never modded a psp before, and therefore is unlikely able to convert a battery with CFW.

I return to my previous statement: a pandora battery is worth $7

 

[xist]

He didn't say he didn't have any friends with CFW'd PSP's though...

And i return to my previous statement that Hardmodding a battery whilst sometimes reversible is a waste of resources and pretty pointless given the prices....
