Psp Questions!

hey, lol
first time making a thread, i usually just lerk around so please move this if its under the wrong topic.
im thinking of getting a psp, i usually play my nintendo ds when my friend come over, or watch movies on it while on road trips. hehe
i like alot of the psp titles and that u can play ps1 games on it pretty much multiples the library of games.whats the best psp to hack? i wanted a psp 3000 cuz it has skype but i hear you cant mod or hack it so i guess its out of the question
is there any programs or anything that i need to be able to play roms please mention them. ( im a newb :( )
also if do i need to connect to the internet to get ps1 games from my ps3? because i got some ps1 games from qore.
thanks xD

3000s are not fully hackable and most don't have the necessary firmware on them in order to even think about using Custom Firmware Enabler of ChickHEN.Here is a thread that will help perhaps.
http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=34962.msg627630#msg627630But also, the best one to flash in my opinion is the PSP-2000 Daxter and Star Wars Edition (with Darth Vader on the back). - http://www.pocketables.net/2007/07/sony-psp-slims-.htmlThose are the fully hackable PSP-2000 models that are guaranteed to work even with OFW (Official Firmware) 6.20.You will need a Pandora battery - www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472
To render the PSP into service mode and to flash the CFW (Custom Firmware) on it.You will need a program to make a MMS (Magic Memory Stick) for the firmware to be installed on.

To be able to surf the PSN store with CFW, use this.

what is psx games?
and im confused about the psn store? i need that so i can go on the psn store? i could just use my ps3 as a download station xD
is 6.20 the newest patch?

I got a PSP 3000 Rockband Pack a couple months ago and it had 5.02 firmware (hackable). Plus if it doesn't have a hackable firmware, then just return it.

PSX=PS1Also even though a 3000 is not fully hackable (you must reapply the firmware every time you turn it on) CFW 5.03 GEN-C does not let you turn your psp all the way off, which makes it pretty much permanent.

found a video showing how to get the cfw without pandora battery?

is the pandora battery just so it automaticly starts the hack?
can i do without?

Well, if you brick your PSP, then I don't know of a way of unbricking it unless you have CFW. So if you're doing it the first time, then I suggest that you have a Pandora no matter what you think.It's too risky not to have one.
