This is my 1st PSP, and I'm totally lost haha. I usually can do this hacking stuff by just reading, but now, I'm just lost.

I got a 4GB Memory stick for my PSP, My firmware is 4.00 and PSP-2001PB model. and I just have a few questions.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the whole process?

I understand a bit, this is what I understand :

- I need a pandora battery, I saw one at dealsextreme for $10.50. Probably going to order one. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472

- I understand that you cannot use a pandora battery as the PSP's actual battery.

- I know that you need a 'magic memory stick', can I download the files and put that on my 4GB stick? And then wipe out those files and use my 4GB stick again or should I purchase a cheap 512MB stick and keep it seperate for Pandora's Battery?

- I downloaded DA's CFW 3.90 M33_3, and my firmware is 4.00, so i'm guessing it's not going to work, but I read the Readme, and it says I need '3.52 M33-3 or higher'. Can I install 3.52 right now and then wait until CFW 4.00 M33_3 comes out and install that?

- My understanding is that Dark Alex's CFW 4.00 is not out yet, only 3.90 M33_2 & M33_3 (Can someone tell me the difference between _2 and _3?) I do not mind waiting since the battery still has to come.

- As well, i'm guessing this void's the PSP's warranty?

- And I download GPSP for gameboy advanced games on my PSP, I need CFW for that too, right?

Thanks a huge load for anyone helping me !

1.order the deal extreme battery its great mine came in a week to california

2.some 4gbs work all you can do is try but ts good to keep a 512mb as a dedicated mms in case of accidental bricking[(amazon.com search around you can find one for 8.95 with free shipping) ;)]if you use the 4gb yes you can wipe and use as a normal memory card.

3. you can use the pandora tool battery as a battery. i ordered the same one from deal extreme all you have to do to get it to work as a normal battery is to turn on your psp using your charger without a battery inside then when it loads you put the pandora in and then you can take the charger out and then you have a battery it works fine battery life is about 6 hours fully charged. you cant just put the battery in and turn it on that will only put it in service mode

4. since you have ofw 4.00 you cant install any custom firmware until you have your magic memory stick and pandora when you get them you can get to 3.71m33-2 then upgrade to whatever you like (3.71m33-2 & 3.71m33-4 have best psx game support)

5 yes 4.00 custom firmware is not out yet there is a 3.95GEN firmware but i dont recommend it (3.90m33-2 &-3 are basically the same just -3 has bug fixes i believe(i have 3.90m33-3 and the 1.50kernal addon v2{wich is for fat only})

6.yes it voids the warranty but you can always reinstall the orignal firmware for warranty purposes

7. for gpsp you need custom firmware

8. good luck use this guide once you get your stuff
