I have a PSP with a cracked screen and is on OFW. Unfortunately I have no way to get a hold of the AV cable required to mirror the screen to the TV. Since the screen is cracked, I do not know the PSP firmware. I do, however, have a USB type B cable, but I can't seem to get the files to show up on the computer. Is there any way I can get CFW on my PSP without the AV cable? Long story short: My PSP screen is cracked, firmware unknown. Can't get an AV cable, files don't show up on computer (Windows 10) in the PSP USB mode. Is there a way to get custom firmware on my PSP?
EDIT: My PSP is a PSP 1003, if that helps.
I also can't use the Pandora's battery as I have no way of getting a pre-made one or have enough experience to turn my battery into one, and I have no card reader to insert the Memory Stick into my pc to turn it into a Magic Memory Stick.

...fix the actual hardware problem first? :)

To use the PSP as a memory stick (or, with cfw, umd/nand) reader you must put it in USB mass storage mode - which autostarts if the cable is connected while on the idle XMB*, but only if the (enabled by default) appropriate option is on, else you'll need to go completely to the left, completely to the top, then one down and confirm
* after passing any initial setup or post-power-failure clock setting screen

Even then, blindly running an update isn't trivial (XMB items were added and removed over versions), different CFW installers have different button presses, etc

I meant mass storage mode. When I initialise Mass storage Mode, Windows 10 shows a Cyclic Redundancy Check error.
That could be a problem with the memory stick... or with the console (never tried connecting it to a computer, but I do have a 2000 with broken traces to the MS slot after "accidentally" hitting a wall too many times)
If you had an external MS reader, that would be easy to figure out...

I just looked into the slot on my PSP, there's a black line through the third pin from the right (horizontal). This could mean it's broken. Could this be the reason for the error?

    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Toxic pills are best
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
