hello everyone,
i am planning to buy a sony psp next month and i am wondering for sake of modding it, wich one should i try to get? im not intrested in the psp go. and should i get it from ebay, or gamestop? im shure this is outdated,but i downloaded the "magic memory card maker" program and have a real pandora battery, but i think i got the wrong battery as the one they sent me is for a "slim" psp can i still use this for my psp mod? thanks for any and all replys i get................terr0r69

If you want it to be 100% surely modable get a PSP 1000 off ebay. Or get a PSP 2000, but then you got a chance to get one that is not permanently modable with a pandora battery. You can still use non-permanent firmwares on these. A PSP 3000 isn't pemanently modable at all (exept for the so-called "perma-patch" for 6.20 firmwares, which is pretty outdated).
The problem with the 1000 models is that the one you get can be six to seven years old, these models start failing. Also for a 1000 you would need another pandora battery (btw: Pandora battery is only for fixing these days, you don't really need one for modding anymore). If you get a PSP 2000 from gamestop maybe they let you test the PSP with your pandora battery and your magic memory stick first, the pandora battery you already have, with the magic memory stick maker you also have you can create that magic memory stick (1 or 2 GB sticks work best, as far as I know).

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Go to 6.60 ME. By the way, you don't need the umd emulator, that thing is so outdated, most people here won't even remember it.

6.60 ME is the latest firmware, allowing you to play all games and also to go online (PSN).
