I've looked at most of the school allowed sites, available from school, and All I've seen is Hard mod, hard mod, hard mod. Is it posible to Soft mod my new psp slim? It's the 3k. And If not, May this thread be the discussion point of said topic?

Theres no possible way yet. Don't even think you can hard mod them.
Give it time, someone will find loop holes in the system...theres always a way.

You can hack a 3000....But you have to take both a 2000 and the 3000 apart, transfer the 2000 CPU chip to the 3000, which is INCREDIBLY difficult, and when you're done, the screen and mic won't even work. Possible? Yes. At all practical? No.

Hmm.. Maybe Sony did really secure the PSP-3000.
Perphaps PSP-4000 could leak a mistake.

Nah, everything is hackable. Just takes time to find loop holes.

I do agree do that. It can be hacked but maybe it can't play games?

EDIT: I did hear about news saying the PSP-3000 screen sucked worse in games. Some lines problem. So no point buying it for a mic?
Got a slim is perfect already. What's soo good in PSP-3000?
I think they just wanna beat DSi

The flaw of the PSP its the UMD drive. 1.80GB of storage is not sufficient, that's why we always play alternate versions of the real console games. The DSi uses memory cards and its capacity of storage is expanding. Sony might have to think their strategy by producing games above 1.80GB, UMD is killing the PSP. PSN games is the future, but Sony doesn't what it recognize that UMD has limitations and if they do they don't want to accept it.

Not only that but the lack of a joystick. Many FPS are RUINED by the lack of a second joystick.
(TOTAL RANDOMNESS BELOW!!!)
Has anyone thought of blank umd's and a cd/dvd/ WTF ever/ burner for blank umd's? Piracy at it's best right there, bootlegging. IT works for music, movies, why not umds?

Where exactly would you be getting blank rewriteable umd's from?

And what would be the point anyway? Just get cfw and play iso's or cso's straight off the memory stick - that's a whole lot easier than manufacturing umds and bootlegging!! That's just plain piracy anyhow.

not to mention umds are a lost cause just like locobrown said with the internet and devices capable of wifi all game discs and cards should be obsolete except not everyone has high speed internet and a wifi router so there will always be a need for tangible media

and so far with the progress sony has made with the slims new mother boards and the psp 3000 it wont be long before we have to go back to using mod chips but either way people always find some way or another even if it takes years to crack an obsolete console

@kshizzle
that's why people mod there psps and add a second joystick, or touch screen and even flashing sound sensitive lights... like acidmods

Did we forget the part where the 3000 is so far un-modifiable? CFW doesn't work. And Yea, duh it's piracy, like I said "Piracy at it's best." I know people who make copies of dvd's to sell for like $5.

To the "Shaggy" fellow....
Yes, but that cost money, when sony could do it, and make it better. Isn't that their job anyway?

actually the psp 3k may not be a lost cause yet. unlike the new slims, the psp 3k has a TA-090 mobo. the link below tells all about it.

So stick with the slim or the phat? It doesn't seem to me that the 3000 is a quantum leap in terms of psp evolution. A screen that is better or worse depending on if you're Sony or not and a microphone.

So is piracy good then?

cfw and piracy aside i still wouldn't buy the 3000 over the psp slim unless the scan lines aren't as noticeable or a problem as everyone says and they haven't made vast improvements over the two like they did with the phat, i bought the slim because of all the extra ram and features like tv out skype and internet radio my only gripe was loosing the irda and now with the psp slim 3000 you get a built in mic that for me makes no difference since i have a mic and their screen which is nice only for the brightness and glare protection but is severely crippled by the featured scan lines so the problem is sony doesn't care or do anything that they see in these forums or the feedback they may get in other ways because people have been wanting dual sticks and touch screens for awhile and if this is how they plan on battling with the DSi they fell short so imo its better to mod to gain features you don't have to wait for or wont ever be made then to wait on sony

I love my PSPs mainly because of homebrew. If It wasn't for CFW I would of gotten rid of them by now. I rarely play umd games, I mainly use the console for hardcore gaming. A built in mic, scanlines? From where does Sony come up with amazing ideas?! Pathetic.

You could use the 2000 cpu but not everything will function properly (like you said) unless you reflash the 2000 cpu with portions of the 3000 cpu code.

I don't understand why you would have to switch the cpu to be able to mod your psp, but why don't switch the psp 3000 cpu back if the old one is not powerful enough to run the screen and mic, when your done with the modding? The cpu does not contain any memory right? The modded software should be located else where, right? Thus, you would have the contain of the old modded software in and the new psp 3000 cpu would be running that. 3000 cpu is to 2000 cpu as pandora is to legit battary...

What do you mean hard mod? People haven't used chips on psps in quite some time. All the hacks are custom firmwares (softmods). You may need hardware to perform the hack but its all software mods nowadays.

Datel is releasing a new battery tool that will put psp-3000 in service mode and a new savegame exploit was just found that works on 3000's so you have plenty of options coming around the bend.

Nope, the CPU and the NAND are on the same chip. Nothing doing there.

Like cut the battery instead of software it. That's hard mod. Soft mod is software.

I think the phat psp is the all time best so far. The ir is a bonus and I just like the feel. When you hold a slim it feels like some fake knockoff, it's s00o lite. The psp 3000 will me able to be modded soon enough, wherever there is tech, there is always the ability to be modded. I think if someone spent alot of time and energy they could even figure out the TA_88 v3, and get it modded. Also as a side note, you would think that if sony really wanted to foil modders they would change the pandora battery thing to something else like a special umd or something. I think it probably allows sony to make a bit of profit if people know they can be modded.

Yes, but for every $200 Moddable Psp bought, they lose Potentially 1000's in games. I just bought 300 in used games, ripped them, took them back...
