hey guys i am a noob at this and just starting. i am thinking of putting cfw on my fat psp. what i am wondering is if using the option to restore settings to default on the psp itself will drop the firmware down too? my current ofw is 3.80.
that really didnt answer my question. id like to be able to play ps1 games on my psp. is it just me or does this process seem overly long and complicated? im not bashing this but couldnt be a little easier? just asking. :)
the only way to downgrade your firmware so to use pandora. Restore Default Settings will not work.
To play ps1 games, u buy them from the psn store. Or you can download it from torrents. If you are going download them from torrents you will need a custom firmware.
To downgrade (and get a custom firmware) or unbrick your PSP, u need the Pandora's Battery. There is three ways to get the Pandora Battery.
1. Find a someone who has a Custom Firmware that is willing to let you borrow their psp. You will use their psp to softmod the battery. Meaning using software to make the Pandora. If you willing to do this, follow this guide:

2. Hardmod the battery. Meaning that you have to open that battery up, and pulling out a pin. Note that if you pull the wrong one, your battery would be messed. If you are willing to do this, follow this guide
GUIDE
3. The most safest way, is to buy the DATEL tool battery. It is already a premade pandora battery. If so, follow this guide or use the same guide on the second step.
GUIDE
Note: You can not use Vista to run the Pandora program. If you do have Vista, plz tell me and I will give u an another guide.
