Ever hack a PSP?

[Wiimote]

I'm having a heck of a time hacking my new PSP to run homebrew apps. Any of you guys ever create the Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick to run custom firmware on your PSP? If you used VIsta to do it, please sned me links!!!!

google a firmware downgrader. i remember taking mine down to version 1.5 i think...then look up the app that lets you play the umd iso images....i dont use my psp anymore or else i'd be better help....

The problem is that all of the downgraders I can find, only run under XP. I have found a million posts referring to updated ones that work under Vista, but as yet no luck finding an actual link :-(

If my search remains fruitless, as soon as I'm done work (2 hours) I'm throwing in a spare HD to install XP and do it that way.

What are you looking to put hacks on it like an aimbot etc?

No, the hacks allow you to run homebrew applications. Like VNC to your desktop at home, or google maps, and even interface with some GPS units. Basically, SOny sells you a gameboy, and with homebrew software and custom firmware, you turn it into a cheap palmtop computer.

dude it's sick

my friend mod'd his psp and now when I go over there I play all old nintendo and Snintendo games...

yeah boy and his blob is the hardest game EVER

I have to admit, once modded, the PSP is one sweet portable console.

This is what I need to do,Token do you know what your friend did to make it able to play old Nintendo stuff?

 

[ToKEN]

yup, and from what he tells me is it's pretty expensive.. you can do it yourself..but in order to do it you basically need to know how to build a computer (ie..takin out some chips and puttin new ones in.)

if you're really interested I'll ask him what he did and how it's done. I'm pretty sure he gave it to our one friend and had him do it. Definately worth the investment though.

Here is a brief run down on what you need:

PSP (any model)
Memory Card (512MB or bigger)
Battery (these 3 all come with the "Daxter pack")

And either a modded PSP with the right software, or a Win XP computer and one of 100 different installer packages. For this method you also need a steady hand and decent eyesight as you have to physically modify the PSP battery (either cut a lead, or pull a pin out of a chip). You never have to open the PSP at all!!!!! Only the battery (34.95 US if you screw up, I did twice)
