    ok, first off i've had a PSP for quite awhile but never been able to figure out how to softmod (no not my question :p) from what i have been told, that there are certain ways to download the iso's or eboots or whatever the psp game images are called.

    so i would like to know this:

    1. with official firmware (OFW) can you download any of the PSP game images & run them on OFW?
    2. is there a way to copy the games with the original firmware?

    1. No, only if you buy the game via PSN.

    2. No

    You need to have a low firmware, 5.03 or lower to be able to hack your PSP without the use of a Jigkick battery and an MMS.

    official firmware is just the update sony makes once in a while to fix glitches and AP. hence: "official."
    thats why you need a low OFW, and you need CFW. (custom) to softmod.
    there are many guides in the tutorials section about softmodding the psp and etc. you should look there!

    That's not what he asked for. Is your PSP a Phat (1000), Slim (2000), or Go (3000)?
    Also, there's two versions of the Slim, but without using PSPTool, it'd be a little hard to tell.

    You can hack it with a Jigkick Battery and a Magic Memory Stick with no problem. (Those two combined make a Pandora Battery)

    Yeah. Unless you can order one online, you're kinda' screwed for switching over. Sorry.

    On the bright side, you can still...oh wait. 6.35? Nevermind. Was going to say you could use HBL/ChickHEN, but that option uses lower firmwares. Still, all it'd do for you is give you access to homebrew.
