Hey everyone, its been a LONG time since i been on here. but yea.
i want to downgrade my psp (3.95 fat psp) and put sum old school games on it and homebrew and stuff like that

should i pay 25-30 dollars for some guy to do it (downgrade and put the stuff on it)

or should i do it myself??

makeing a pandora batery and memory stick and downgrading seems pretty easy but is it as easy as it seems?? can i still use my psp normaly once i convert my battery and memory stick??

and what should i downgrade too, i want to be able to use emulators and stuff like that but beable to get on internet and play norlmal umd's...

NOTE** sory i just searrched and i cant realy seem to tell what my firmware has to be to make the memory stick and batery. can i make the pandora m.s and battery with my 3.95 psp??

thanks

Unfortunately there are only two ways to make a Pandora:

Using a PSP which can already run homebrew
Using a LOT of courage - opening your battery and desoldering a pin (warning: risk of *boom*)

So besides that, you have two choices;

Buy a Pandora and do the Magic MS with your PC. (Pandoras vary in price, but you can't buy them in brick-and-mortar stores)
Let the guy do it for you (at the cost)

So there's your options. If you need more info don't be afraid to say so!

BTW, welcome to PSP3D!

thanks dork.

soo i cant make one then if i need a psp that alreddy runs homebrew , that sucks lol

eaa i guess i have to have the person downgrade my psp for me and stuff...

after he downgrades it i should be able to make one, but i dont no

what would be the point of makeing one if my psp is alreddy downgraded??
what are all the uses for pandora?? all i kno is the downgrader and unbricker

It's good to have after you're done incase your PSP gets screwed up you can unbrick it or you can use it to downgrade other people's for a price maybe like that guy you know

25 - 30 dollars is pretty expensive, especially if he lives near you. i only charge 5, and thats if i dont like the person

That is a bit much. iamstrange14 is right. I would do it for free for all my friends and charge a little if I didn't like the person

I do it free regardless. Once I did it on a coach trip back from Belgium for someone who I never liked. But then after I installed the latest CFW and showed him some PS1 and GBA games on his PSP, he was nicer to me. You reap what you sow, I guess.

yea i kno that is alot that why i wanted to do it myself but i cant lol.

i just found someone on craigslist that live by me that will do it for free and put games on

, but im writein to make shure its free for both lol.

lol yea dork, its funny how people treat you different after you do something for them, like a while later id be like yea u thought that was free, no now you owe me a dinner from a resturant lol.

but yea what is the best CFW out right now?? or the one yall like the most?? and what are some of the emu.'s and homebrew yall use that i can put on my psp?

The best CFW? There's a lot of choice, and some prefer one over another, but generally most people are on 3.90 M33-3 at the moment, and I've never had any problems with it. I've also found the 3.93 CFW to be fine, but some people don't like either (for some reason), and are sticking with 3.71 M33.

So, in short: try 3.90 M33-3 first. It should be great.

And as for homebrew, gpSP Kai is a great GBA emulator, AOTM, Squarez and Resonate are fun games, and iR Shell is very useful.

Have fun!

I've done two different sets of pandora's battery and magic memory stick, first for a psp slim, and for a psp phat(newer battery) it does take alot of courage to open up the battery because you could screw it up and it possibly like they said(*BOOM*), or catch fire. It gets easier as you do it though and is very worthit at the end. for the psp phat battery i had to remove a pin, and the slim i had to scratch out a part. i only had to replace the phat batter, but i restored the slim. Good luck if you havent already downgraded.
