what do i need to play games on the psp? i know i need like firmware (right now, i have 5.03, off the psp site,) like the actual sony fware, but i need like a custom one right? where can i go, and which one would be right for my system, not sure if its a 2000 or what, its the IceSilversystem. and if there is anything else i need to know please include. something with a battery? like take it out and then plug the power cord in or something, is that right? pls Help.

First off this belongs in the help section not tutorials.

Is your silver psp a daxter pack or a ratchet pack?

Daxter can be done with pandora and a magic memory stick ( In our tutorials and links can be found from similar help topics )

Ratchet can't be done yet

its a daxter, was kinda hoping someone would give me a tutorial, lost on it, but doenst seem like it takes much to do it. wats a magic memory stick?

Yeah I have a Daxter PSP too, its a good one...
there are soooooo many tutorials on this it's crazy.

but in the tutorial section, one topic is "installing CFW on a psp slim"

all he really needs is to get a pandora battery and then use psp grader 8 to make the magic memory stick.

i read somewhere i could unbrick the battery i already have, by taking the bat. out of the psp, then plugging in the power cord to the psp and i guess turning it on. (it said it was to make a pandora battery) does that work? and is there anything I should worry about making these changes to my PsP, (like damaging)?

my magic memory stick is kinda outdated but i'm afraid to mess with it lol

you could do it this way: http://psp.brewology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11609 by hard modding your battery, but you cause the risk of breaking your battery.

thats why i prefer buying a $6 pandora battery, opposed to possibly having to buy a $40 replacement.




oh and Steeler12, if you want to update you magic memorystick, psp grader 8 loads DC8.

help! my psp is slim 2010 model and i used the pandora batt and MMS with DCv7 and it just stays black now i want to try with DCv8 but im not sure if it will work. HELP!!!
ps:im using psp tool 8 with a hacked fat psp to create mms and Pandora

Did you hold the Up pad when putting in the battery?

no!?
that was the broblem!?
no i didnt do it
i use the program to use the button i want in this case i used L

As far as I can remember, DCv7's trigger button for going to the CFW install menu was the Digital Up key (Up button). At least, mine is and I never tinkered with any settings.
