 Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 8:09 am Post subject: PSP - Need advice... |
 |
|
I bought my PSP back in 2006. It has 2.50 firmware. I used it for about 3 months and shelved it as I got busy.
The job I have now requires a commute, so I dusted off the old PSP.
A few things I need help on:
1) From what I read the audio out is just crap. Are buying earbud type headphones the only option to hearing sound while in a noisy bus?
2) I need to upgrade my 2GB memory to something like an 8GB. If I head to yongsan what prices am I looked at?
3) I want to play ISO games on it. What's the deal? I would like some specific info. Doing a search of psp hack sites isn't that easy as I don't really know what I am looking for, or where to start. I checked out some earlier posts, but they just said: Go here.
I want to know, do I have to go to 1.50 and then use something like homebrew? Is devhook still a viable ISO emulator or is there something better out there? Are there some sites that clearly explain all this in plain English for someone like me?
I luckily bought GTA: LCS back in 2006 so it is the version needed for the 2.50 hack.
I am just a bit confused on what I need to do to play ISO games.
(Oh yeah how do I find out which motherboard version I am using?) |

You do need to go here sorry: http://forums.maxconsole.net/forumdisplay.php?f=80
look for "Pandora".
Dev hook is pretty obsolete now days. You will be able to run iso files straight from the psp game menu once u use the pandora battery/magic mem stick to install custom firmware. I gather you have an orig. fat psp so it's easy. I can't explain it as well as maxconsole so just read up. If u want u can probably find someone in Youngsan to hack the psp for u for a small fee.

Again sorry but the site linked has the info. Don't worry yours is hackable. |

Update:
Bought an 8GB sandisk and some earbud headphones.
My hacking brain is still trying to grasp what it is I do from the website you linked to me. I think it is just reading the right FAQ. The one link they had on pandora/mem stick they killed the link 
At any rate, charging up my sony battery so I can use it as a pandora battery. The other one I have is a china one which apparently won't work... |

I think I paid a few thousand too much. Paid 96,000. Some websites show 91,000 as being the lowest price. Thing is it was raining and I just went to the closest guy near Yongsan Station...
Just downgraded to 1.50. Now to read up on what to do next... |

Well done! It's all about reading.
Upgrading will be no problem .
Be aware of this :
I am running only 3.52-4 (M33) Firmware and can run all the new iso games inc. the new God of War and FF games.
3.52 still has a 1.5 core, so I can run any homebrew apps (like book reader and home brew mp3 player) without xtra patching required to do so on the latest firmware. |
