ok, i went to gamestop to get another psp they had in stock and i figured i had to get a pandoras battery for it, since the manager told me that they upgrade all the firmware on stuff. well i turned around got an extra battery to make a pandoras battery but i found out that the psp i bought had a makeshift pandora in it. and well i was like WTH but it was a win-win situation for me and now question, which CFW would be the best to put on a 1000-PSP?
and i really don't have to do anything other than putting it on the memory card and launching it right?
well i downgraded from the firmware that was on it, right now im sitting and looking at the screen with the firmware number: 1.50, so im very happy that i didnt have to bend over sideways trying to make a pandoras battery
Bump it over to 5.03 OFW, then from that to 5.00m33 with promethus. This basically, 1.50 has a limited selection of firmware.
so from what im getting, i do this 1.50 > 5.03 OFW > 5.00m33 Promethus is this right hypnos? cause i want to finish hacking out my psp
Never assume that it will just take you "5 minutes." Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.. your first time. I almost bricked my Wii while installing a .wad once... 5 minute process turned into a 30 minute one. Stripped two screws replacing the PS3 HDD. 5 minutes ended up taking over an hour. FTPing a fricking game over to my PS3. Estimated time 10 minutes. Damn thing crashes, had to retransfer, 1 hour. Allow PLENTY of time to do this your first time around. Second and third are like clockwork though. Third time I pandoraed a classmates PSP1000, I did it during lecture, and went completely unnoticed by the professor.
i never said 5 minutes, i know im not exactly fool-proof on this stuff, i royally screwed a original xbox soldering job up, tried to modify my first ds, i bricked it >__>, so i don't have good run of luck with this stuff, this is why im getting all my ducks straight before i do anything to it ^__^
Well this is why I used a temp hack first and went from there with extreme care... Then I got a pandora, they can un-brick a psp (well if it's jsut semi bricked-usually bad hack jobs or changing the internal themes).
I never said that you said it would take you 5 minutes. Read it again as a generalized statement. Five minutes in the real world gives us about an hour in the dream world. I remember the first time I hacked my PSP. I went through tutorial after tutorial after tutorial, only to find out I needed a Pandora Battery and files to make a Magic Memory Stick. I had to wait WEEKS for that damn battery to come in from fricking China. Actually, with a Pandora Battery, you can immediately go to whatever firmware you want. I went from 3.51 to 3.90 or something. It doesn't necessary have to go backwards. It's more or less a reset point.
finally, got it done ^__^ i am now a proud owner of a hacked PSP ^__^ its time for it to get a workout going after the dot hack game & kingdom hearts games and maybe the final fantasy series, since i purchased a 32 gb card for it
