So this is what i should do-
1)Get a used fat psp, has to be pre-hacked or under version 3.50
Close, has to be 3.50 OR lower, if it 3.71, then it currently cannot be hacked without pandora.
2)if under 3.5, buy lumies 1
3)do the lumies exploit (can be done with mac?) to make pandora things
Again, if 3.5 or lower, and
read here for more info... It does work on a mac since all your doing is copying files onto a USB device (memory stick).
You will use the exploit to install a hacked firmware on your PSP, then you make the battery using a program with the custom firmware.
4)buy slim
5)run the intallation software on the slim with the pandora batt.
6)return fat
Don't forget to reset the battery to a standard battery
Correct!
Im very unsure about the making of the pandora battery, and what lumies does.
Check youtube for quite a few videos on how to make the battery, as for Lumines. Lumines is a fun puzzle game that was one of the first PSP games released, People experimented and found there was a flaw in the Load Saved File code that lets you run custom code on the PSP without having hacked it. Therefore, you could run a downgrader on the PSP that would revert it to 1.50, which was much easier to run custom apps on.
The money i need will be around 370$ i guess.
169.99 slim
around 125.00 for fat
20.00 for battery
Take out that extra 20.00 for battery, you can most likely (99.9%) use the one that comes with the fat PSP.
But you definitely cannot use the one that comes with your slim PSP. (unless you are willing to tear it apart and use a soldering iron)
You will also need a USB to Mini USB cable (or a memory stick pro duo reader, but the cable would be MUCH better, you may already have one though)
Don't.
Get the regular instead, a lot cheaper, a lot prettier and 1.5 compatible.
Truly, I did get a Slim, now I regret it.
It is cheaper, and arguably prettier, but the PSP slim is smaller/lighter, better battery, tv out, much faster load times, USB charging, and faster browsing.
Most modern hacks are slim-compatible. DGEN, snes9xTYL, and many others are working perfectly fine.
