Hardware PSP 1000 Or 3000

[Deleted User]

I am planning on hacking a PSP, there are two ones I can buy, a PSP 1000 with no battery, or a PSP 3000?Which one should I get, and will changing the PSP 1000's battery be a issue?

either one is fine. the 300 has a brighter screen than the 1000 series. also, look into a psp go if you like having 16gb of built in storage.

Are the replacement batteries for the PSP 1000 bad, because the Amazon reviews for them are pretty bad.

psp 1000 has 32 mb of ram, where 2000 and up got 64, this improved loading on games on discs, not sure if it does a difference in isos.. however IIRC some homebrew took advantage of this

psp 1000 is a lot heavier, IIRC the only thing good about it was the IR and vulnerability to pandora

ps: didn't 2000 and 3000 had better battery life?

if you get a cheap one they will be bad. but that goes for any third party psp battery. I suggest the 3000 for reasons stated above.

Well what if I am getting a huge discount, they are selling me the PSP 1000 for $32.99.

I am not trying to be difficult here, but I seriously would suggest a 2000.

Well the PSP 2000 isn't available at the shop I am buying it at, so which one is better for hacking? P.S. the main reason I am buying it from were I am is because I have a gift-card to use.

any model is hackable, however as people said, 2000 and 3000 has an extra ram, which is good for run emulators.

if you need to buy some replacement parts:
psp 2000/3000= more expensive parts
psp 1000= cheaper parts.

but if they are even expensive go for the 3000
if the psp 1000 is about 10$ cheaper take it or leave
