hacking my original psp
J
hey there people, i've got a situation here... the problem is this: i have an original psp, a 2gb memory stick and i want to have some more games without paying a lot for them... new great solution: hacking it... as i have heard, hacking a psp is easy: i just need to have a big ms... i downloaded a torrent from a site named... errr, never mind... the game is tony hawk's project 8... the point is i downloaded and instead of a .zip or a .rar file, the file that appeared was a folder... i don't know if this is weird or if it's not, cuz this is the very first psp game i ever downloaded... after this strange moment, i inserted my ms in my pc and sent the into it... after 20 mins or so, it finished... i removed my ms, put it in the psp and accessed it... the data file was corrupted... i would like to know if there is any way to get my game moving... please help me... thanks in advance...

Are you working with a downgradeable firmware? I have a psp with firmware 3.01 so I had to downgrade it to 1.50 then I added a custom firmware to be able to play the newest games out. You might want to check if you have the correct firmware that plays homebrews. Also, the games I downloaded had to be extracted and they are zip or rar files. Also, make sure you have the whole game sometimes games have 2 or 3 parts and without those parts you won't be able to play. I hope this answered your question.

i checked yourpsp.com and downloaded the latest firmware, but as i'm a complete noob to this psp thing, i don't know how to install it...

The point is that you shouldn't have the latest firmware, you need a custom hacked firmware which can only be installed if you have an older version of the PSP firmware.

i recently have the 2.71 firmware version, i have downloaded the 3.03 version right now, and if someone could tell how do i have to do it, the format it's supposed to be in (mine's .PBP), where to send it, etc... thanks in advance...

well the point is to not upgrade the firmware. other than that, i dont know how to hack the psp.
J
but if you know how to upgrade it, i'll appreciate it, then...

Well here's a guide on how to upgrade it, it doesn't tell you how to downgrade though, so if that's required then I dunno. :)https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php/topic,572.0.html

If you do a google search or a yahoo search on psp hacks or whatever. You'll find a ton of resources on how to do it. You can also search Youtube. They have tutorials and stuff.Ok what I did was the following...I had PSP version 2.81 I then downgraded it using the GTA game. It somehow got messed up because a few months later it stopped working. So I then upgraded so I can use the Lumines game to downgrade to 1.50 then I installed a custom firmware. But you you look up on the internet psp hacks or psp downgrader. You'll be able to find your answer. I don't remember my exact steps and I don't want to confuse you.But depending on your firmware you may need GTA:Vice city stories or Lumines. So keep that in mind. Its good you have a 2 gb card tho. I can fit about 4-5 full version psp games plus some psx games.
