how can I hack it and play PSP games and mario games and etc on it?
I'm totally new at this and don't know what to do. I've been searching for stuffs how to do it but its kinda confusing since some people say it works on some PSP but not in another ones?
So my questions are:

Which PSP should I get?1000,3000, slim?
What firmware do I need so I can hack it and play ISO?
whats chikhen, pandora? I now its what you need to hack it but will it work on any psp?
what else do i need to hack it?

Help pleaseee!!

so will it be better if I get the First PSP to be sure that i can hack it?
will it be no problem if it is 1000?
or is there a way for the 2000 to see if i can do it or not?

See this topic it explains greatly about how certain PSPs are hackable - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=120268

1000 is a sure thing since they can be hacked more easily than the other 2, it's 100% Hackable
2000 is hackable though Chickhen or Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick. But you can be cursed with the TA-88v3 motherboards which are not hackable.
3000 is unhackable although you can run homebrew using chickhen.

Go for either a 1000 or 2000 - a list to make sure that its hackable if you going to buy a 2000 - http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=120268

If by using Pandora and Magic Memory Stick, it can be done from any firmware version although not sure about 5.55 and 6.00 firmware.
If going to do it by chickhen your going to need to be on firmware 5.03 and if your PSP is hackable you can install custom firmware though Hellcat's Recovery Flasher

Chickhen is an tiff exploit found in firmware 5.03 that can be used to run homebrew on your PSP.
Pandora is part of a hack it also needs the Magic Memory Stick with both you can install Sony Firmware, Custom Firmware, Back up your nand, etc.

Pandora works on 1000s and 2000s (except the 2000s with TA-88v3 motherboards), Pandora does not work on 3000.
Chickhen works on all PSPs although if your with a 3000 your stuck to that firmware till a way to hack the 3000 is found.

You can hack from 5.55 firmware with Pandora and Magic Memory Stick, Ive done that by myself from that firmware. Not sure about 6.00 firmware though, but I would assume you can.
 
A Pandora battery tells the PSP to boot from the inserted MS and bypass it's internal nand. Therefore so long as the PSP in question is capable of using an alternative hacked IPL (i.e not a PSP 3000 or a PSP 2000 with the TA-088v3 motherboard) nothing Sony can put in a firmware will ever prevent the Pandora/MMS installation of CFW.
 
Ok thank you so much everyone! specially MZ EXE for answering all my questions!!

No brand new psp can be hacked to play isos currently ie 3000s cant be hacked and neither can newer 2000s.
I can run homebrew on my PSP-3000. It has 5.03, if it has over that then it can't.

Using a homebrew called CFW enabler you can run ISO on the PSP-3000...
