Thanks
Most likley you will get a PSP that can not be modded when buying a brand new 1. But there is always a chance you might get 1 without the new motherboard. All you can do is buy it and try to install CFW to it using a Pandora Battery + Magic Memeory Stick.

Do you mean the new psp 3000? If yes, make sure you do extensive research

larrylje, thank you for your guide. Also, thanks for the other members who have contributed information here.

Being a male over 50, things are not as easy for moi compared to a few years ago when I upgraded to 3.52 m33-4. Didnot want to try to anymore updates as that took way too long. This process took ten minutes maybe.
Used this for my phat one.

Now to see what I can do about juniors' slim psp 3.60 version, sony Original firmware. Better hack it soon or I will never see my phat one again.

Will continue to read other pages that I bookmarked from this thread (Pandora/Magic Stick)

Thanks again.

I have a PSP Slim with OFW 4.01 out of box...bought it a month back. Its is Ridge Racer 2 Platimun bundle... Not sure if it has TA 88 v3 mobo...
Can I start from "SE/OE/LE users start here..." to downgrade it to 3.52 M33-4?
Thanks...

No you need to have Custom Firmware already installed on the PSP to use this guide.

You will need to go to the Ultimate Sticky thread and choose 1 of the multiple guides on Pandora + Magic Memory Stick to get Custom Firmware on your PSP. But more then likely you have 1 of the newer motherboards that can not flash custom firmware to it yet.

So um... really stupid question here, but didn't see anyone else ask it...

I need to download 5.00 m33 before m33-4 right? im confused cause 3.90 comes with its own... i'm pretty sure i have to download the 5.00 m33 plain before adding any updates

3 posts above this one states where to find the guide.


@mattone1
the guide explains what you need to do. Just read it very carefully.
Need to install the reg m33 of the version you want THEN install the addition, which is the one with the m33-2 (or the latest) of the same version you wanted.

Try helping out yourself and search. There are numerous guides in the Ultimate Sticky Thread (that I pointed out in a few post above) that walks you through the steps of installing Custom Firmware to a Official Firmware PSP.

Hello,

I have 3.71 m33-3 FW installed on my PSP. I use it to only play games on it. Is there any reason I should be upgrading it to a higer version like 5.00 m33-4? I was playing War of Gods the other day, and noticed it didn't turm out to be very smooth playing experience. Is it just me or does this suffice the need to upgrade? Thanks.
