I picked up a refurbished PSP. Since there is no instructions, I'd appreciate any general knowledge any PSP owner should have, that I may not be able to discern from just looking at the thing.

It is a PSP Phat, and says it is version 2.71. I also bought a 1GB Memory Stick...and if successful, will upgrade that.

So with this setup, I should be able to hook up my PSP via USB, write some stuff to the memory card, then use the memory card to change the battery into a Pandora battery?

I noticed some people talking about packs of stuff, I guess the CFW and other applications. I'm looking to modify the PSP to play UMD games off the memory card, and maybe a nice NES emulator too.

I'd appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Okay, I'm gathering that I need to downgrade from 2.71 to 1.50, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that.

BTW, I never held a PSP before, the screen is amazing! :D Even if I can't get this straightened out, I'm glad I bought it.

Okay, I am confused.

I got HEN w/ DevHook, and was able to downgrade to 1.50, but I'm getting two problems.

First, the image is darker, then when it sits for awhile, it gets brighter. It's like the power saving thing is reversed.

Also, can I just install 3.52 from 1.50, or do I need to create the MMS and Pandora Battery? When I go to make the MSS while in 1.50, I get an error at the step to format the card (which I assume is because I'm erasing DevHook).

I'm so lost! Which firmware should I have that can do the most?

So far, so good I guess. Sorry to keep adding posts, but I'm figuring stuff out, and finding new problems along the way.

I have DEVHOOK and HEN running, where I can get into firmware 1.50 but don't know what to do next (if anything) from there.

I was able to put an ISO onto the memory card, and boot it into 2.71 through DEVHOOK, but it says I need newer firmware?

So that's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to get my 2.71 to newer CFW to run my games off my memory card.

I'd appreciate any help!

oh, and I have a TA-082 board, so I can't use some of those downgraders.
