THE INFO: I have a PSP-1001. I don't know what motherboard is in it I just know it has IC1003 printed on it. I don't currently have a battery, it crapped out:( I also have 2 memory sticks. I have sony's 6.10 firmware installed.
THE PROBLEM: I have been wanting to downgrade my PSP for a long time so I could run homebrew on it and things like IRShell. I don't really use it to play games, just listen to music and surf the web. I tried downgrading it a few years ago back in the 3.something firmware era. That never worked. Now I want to do it again and I have been reading up about it some. It seems like some of the new cracks involve a pandora battery. This might be a good idea since i need a new battery anyways. So, who is the best homebrewer out there? I have read a little about dark alex back in the day. Is he still on the scene? I would like some detailed directions on how I could accomplish my goal or some helpful links please, this kind of stuff troubles me sometimes.
QUESTION: Is there anyway to upgrade the RAM or anything to make surfing the web faster and able to load bigger web pages. I don't care about breakin the stupid warranty seal.
Thank you for your time and help. I know that this can be tedious.
OK thanks. I'm going to go look up some now and buy. Is there a guide out there or some instructions you could post for me so I can get a general idea of what to do. Also, on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is this process?
eh, it was going to be too much. I made one before I will just do it again. I have 2 memory sticks laying around. So... what CFW would you recommend? Whats the best right now.
Also I just bought the pandora battery. No idea on how long it will take to get here but my guess is it is coming from china so 2 wks.
ok. I will look into that. So about the upgrade part. Is there anyway to boost a PSP's performance by installing aftermarket chips in it much like you would a computer?
