Hello all
I have a black PSP Slim, 2003 I think (that's what it says on the serial bar at the bottom of the unit.
The system software version that came on it is 3.72. I have read the comprehensive guide that is located here on this site and done the best that I can to get the information myself before starting a thread.
My problem is, I'm just not sure what most of the terms mean, or if it all applies to my PSP Slim.
What is 'custom firmware'? What does 'kernel' mean? And what does 'HEN' mean when they refer to it when mentioning eloader? How does eloader work? I've been reading about this 1.50 custom firmware in the guide. Does it reverse the units
firmware to 1.50 or does it fake it, therefore allowing us to still download updates without risk? Can I get this running on my PSP Slim?
I think my main question is, how many methods of getting homebrew running on a slim specifically are. I don't think I have access to another
PSP to create a Pandora's battery, and there will certainly be no opening up of any hardware Which is the safest method to get homebrew running on a slim
without a Pandora's battery? Does the firmware neccesarily have to be reversed to 1.50 to get homebrew running? I have heard of a method using a copy of Lumines,
does that work on a Slim? It sounds safer, because I don't think you need to reverse any firware. Is it a better option?
The primary things I need the PSP to do is homebrew, PSP, PS1 and older console rom emulations.
I read in some threads on this site that there is a difference between PSP game emulation on a PSP and an ISO. What is the difference? An ISO is what you
commonly find on torrent sites right? I also read there are 'cut'and full umd rips. What is the difference, and what are the implications?
Are there places online where I can possibly buy a Pandora's battery cheap?
