just got a PSP-fat.

I just bought a PSP from my friend for $80.
It has FW 3.95 on it. :(Anybody well versed in PSP downgrading? (I looked in the tutorials section, no dice.)I really would love to play the old PSX games on my PSP.

you'll need a pandora's battery for a version as new as that..try this link

ahh two things, glad to know you have a friend
and I tell my friendS the same thing...
I hate my white psp...and I busted the battery when doing the pandora trick...-.-

what do you mean busted? how did you mess up the pandora conversion, because i did it three times, plus an extra time form an official FW to CFW and i never messed up my battery...

He might have tried a hard mod and exploded his battery. :P

I got OFW 4.01, whats the safest way to mod the battery? i've got the magic memory stick (MMS) just lost with battery modding!

N3M351S, I think there is a topic already that tells you how to do that if you look... Insanecrazy07's problem is more difficult...

i got this thing called pandorasboxinstaller.I'm not sure how to do it, but I'm wondering if it is legit.

that does not sound legituse these sites for the correct files/tutorial, i used these:http://www.mypsp.com.au/GuideDetail.aspx?id=225http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080328212517AAAwzi0

i did that  in math class by accident the funny thing is the teacher didn't notice

How can it be it produces a lot of sound.

it was during a free period any everyone was very loud

another noob question. yay!is PSP Grader Lite v0.2 legit?
Sounds legit and the directions are simple, I just need a pandora battery and a memory stick that's 64MB - 4GB.it gave me all of the custom firmware and files to do it, i just need the hardware parts now.
it even gave me a screenshot PLUS arrows!edit: it would help if i could read... psp grader is a magic memory stick maker. yay.
this is like watching episode II without ever watching episode I or III.edit2: this is going to be an expensive venture out into space.
$10 pandora
and two memory sticks which are expensive as hell.

Yes PSP grader works very well but a new version is available http://www.x-projects.org/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item18.

yep, i used it to create mms.
