Ok, I'm completely new to everything psp related, so go easy on me :D

I have a white fat psp with the official 3.9 firmware.

I've seen some places say that this model can't be hacked and will just brick, but some places say it's fine, and I don't want to try anything yet incase it bricks.

So is it possible for me to downgrade this, or run custom firmware?

Look up Pandora battery, you can hard mod a battery and put on DC5 on the memory stick or have a friend with a homebrew enabled psp to creat a pandora battery and magic memory stick.:thumbup:

And this will definately work?

Cos at[URL="http://www.psp-hacks.com/[/URL] they said anything above 2.8 will just brick. :confused:

ok thanks.

This is probably a noobish question, but when i have done the pandora and magic mem stick, what does that leave me with?

Does it install CFW or will i have to do that aswell?

It has three options.
Install 3.90m33-3
Install original 3.90
Replace nand.
After that you can restore your mem and battery back to normal.

I lovePandora.:thumbup:
By the way, no double posting please.

ok, thanks.

Btw, what's the difference between 3.90m33-3 and original 3.90?

Thanks man.

Just one final question.

with 3.90m33-3 installed, can i run isos, or do i need to install something else aswell?

no, just put iso's in the ISO folder. Nothing needed. :)

Yes, when the memory stick is formated in that custom firmware.

There will be quite a obvious folder to put them in, on the root.

Not that i would know.

For me I thought it was for something else.
