For those who want to hack their psp and get custom firmware on it... CFW will allow the psp to excel to it's full potential, unlike offical firmware were it is limited. A cfw can do everthingy an ofw can do but more. For example: Send textmassage wifi internet, watch youtube, run game cheats, play games such as snes, sega, gb-gba, ds, n64, ps1... or play psp iso/cso and etc...
All psp can be hack, doesnt matter if it is a fat or slim... with a Pandora batter (PB) and a magic memory stick (MMS).
The pandora battery can be make or buy. To make one you can either hardmod or softmod. For those who doesnt want to take risk can just buy one, Datel Battery are sold for like $20. Softmoding a pandora battery required a cfw psp and a program call U.P.M.S. Anyway I'll tell how to make a hardmod pandora battery, but first for those who dont have an extra battery or a card reader device should do #5 first then jump back to #1:
1) REQUIRE for fat psp only, check the battery serial (under the make in china phrase) if the serial started with a "c" that can't be make into a pandora batter, it have to be a "2" to make a pandora battery. REQUIRE for slim battery have to start with "3" or one that made in china, lately the newer slim battery that made in japan can't me pandoralize.
2) You need a Razor blade and a flate nose screwdriver, use the razor blade to cut the line where the top and battom shell are mounted togetter. Gently slide the razor back and forth, and go all around to get it loose. DO NOT put too much pressure on when cutting, if you puncture the cell, it can explode (pop goes those fingers) or flare up (burn your fingers and might cause a house fire). Now once you cut all the way around and got it kinda loose, use the screw driver to pop the top shell and bottom shell loose.
3) You see a mother board on the battery. For Slim battery, you'll see a gold line near the labled (IC04 or C04), all you have to do and use a pin or the razor to break the link by scratching it... dont over do it, just enought to break the line, anyways when you are done with getting cfw on your psp, you can use a pancil to trace the line back and your battery will turn back to normal. For fat psp, look for the connecter labled (ICO4 or CO4). Take your needle or razor and CAREFULLY remove the 5th pin (the pins start from the bottom left and up. So pin 5 should be the bottom one on the right.....depending on how you hold your battery.)
4) Now put the open battery back into the shell and tape it back together.
5) To make a MMS... this only for if you have window xp. Make sure you have a usb cable to connect your computer and your psp or a memory card reader. For XP users, you can download a program call catb50 or total newbie easy installer, these programs will turn your memory stick into a MMS. All you have to do is install and follow the instructions.
