Hey AD! I'm going to cut to the point and just say I'm looking for confirmation on the situation of my Slim PSP, and the information on what I would need to do to install a GBA emulator on it successfully. I know you can 'unbrick' PSPs now after the Sony leak, but I'd honestly rather not go through the hassle. Fortunately I used common sense and read every helpful guide your site had to offer. I've read the instructions clearly and have a solid understanding of what's needed to be done to install the programs onto the PSP. My only issue is I'm slightly misguided on the type of PSP I have and the correct run-around I'll need to do to install custom firmware, once I have that set, I can handle the rest and it will be smooth sailing. I'm not too keen on external devices connected to a computer(especially a PSP), but I have slightly advanced knowledge of computers in a general sense.
I'm not sure what you'll need to know about my PSP, so just let me know if you need anything else and I'll get it ASAP.
System software:Version 3.80
The PSP was bought about 2-3 weeks ago, September 9th I believe.(PSP slim Daxter package) I got it for the goodies and family guy.
I did read something in one of the guides about a 'Pandora battery'.
I'm not sure if that's required, if so, I basically don't plan on getting one and that would be that, and I would just have to deal with it.
If I can still put custom firmware on the PSP, just give me the link to the guide and any precautious or instructions I'll need that the guide wouldn't offer. I appreciate the time taken to assist the issues we all have and I give sincere thanks.
You can't install CFW on a slim psp without the use of a pandora/service/tool type battery that puts the psp into service mode.
Then you need to have a magic memory stick or despertar cementerio memory stick that will install the cfw once it's in service mode.
Since you don't want to buy the battery I suggest looking on craigslist for a modder who would do it for you. Shouldn't be more than 20 bucks but the average I've seen is 10 bucks.
