Just got a PSP Slim (3.72) for my bday. I read many of the guides on the site but have some very basic questions im sure one of the experts here can assist with. I want to be able to play backed up games so as not to have to carry a stack of UMDs around... Anyway, here goes:

a) in order to downgrade the firmware, do I need a Pandora Battery / HB cap. PSP?

b) aside from the firmware downgrade, it seems that there is nothing else involved in playing backed up games aside from folder assignments. My PS1 & PS2 both required a physical jumper chip to be sauldered onto the MB of the unit so I feel like I missed something somewhere...

c) if it matters I am running Vista Home Premuim

a) yes, you need pandora's battery and magic memory stick, but you don't need a custom firmware psp.

b) nothing else is needed. you're just required to put the iso/cso in the proper folder.

c) problem. you cannot use vista to create a magic memory stick. you will need winXP.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

Correct - You will need a pandora Battery and a MMS to d/g to CFW.

So you either need to Hard mod a Slim battery, borrow a pandora battery from someone or Buy a datel battery. All this information is stickied here.

To create the MMS is a little easier as it can all be PC based.

This will help http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/610313

There is no real chipping to be done unless you have no choice but to hard mod the battery.

PsP#1 : 2.01>3.71M33-4>3.80 M33-5
PsP#2 (Slim) : 3.80>3.90M33-2 All hail the UPMS Stck
If you need a UPMS Stick go here and then go here :-) *As recommended by January39
