OK, I dedicate this FAQ to noobs who refuse to use google.



"I got a Slim with FW 3.60+. How do I downgrade it?"


A: Well, first, you cannot downgrade a Slim because it does not support 1.5 kernal. However, you can install Custom Firmware on it using a Pandora's Battery and a Magic Memory Stick with M33 files on it. It works just like recovering a phat PSP except you are installing CFW.


"Oh, man! I just FULLY-BRICKED my Slim! HELP ME!"



A: *insert failure music here* Sorry man, but your out of luck. Because of hardware incompatibilities, Pandora's Battery does not work on the Slim. However, you can create a battery on a Slim.


"Can I run homebrew and emulators on the Slim?"



A: Of course you can! You can run most homebrew on emulators on the Slim, however, since the Slim does not support 1.5 kernal, the Slim cannot play 1.5 kernal.

But that's why DaX created the 1.5 Kernal add-on!

The 1.5 kernal add-on lets you play most 1.5 homebrew, so you can play NoGravity whenever you want! Plus, emulators work just fine on the Slim, and since the Slim has double the RAM of a Phat PSP, emulators should be no problem.



"Can I use a Pandora on my Slim?"


A: No.

But you can use it for installing CFW.


"Can I use modchips on my Slim?"



A: Big fat NO. The Slim's hardware is different from the Phat's hardware, meaning the modchip won't support the Slim. Plus, modchips are designed to run on TA-079, TA-081, TA-082, and TA-086 hardware. The Slim uses TA-085 hardware, so the modchip won't work on the Slim.



"Can I install Custom Themes on my Slim?"



A: Yes, yes you can. There are two ways you can. You can install themes via flash0, or themes via Sony's built-in theme installer.

Sony's theme installer is safer, because it doesn't write to flash0, however most themes (and the cooler themes) are installed via flash0.



"I'm using iRShell on my Slim, and I'm trying to use iR remotes, but it dosen't work!"



A: Well, it will never work, becuase Sony took away the infared port on the Slim because it had no use. So, you cannot use iR remotes via Slim.




"When I try to use Remote Play to PS3 on my Slim, it says update to the latest firmware."



A: That means you have to upgrade to the latest custom firmware.
Might I reccomend 3.80 M33, then upgrading to 3.80 M33-4.







MORE Q&A COMING SOON.
