Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*Resolved*

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*I saw some Paccie on eBay wanting between £120-£140 for a Phat.Im only interested in the slims as the ones I get can be fully hacked.Youd be very lucky to get a good working slim for under say $100.

GothiqueFTWI think temporary CFW is safer, but I read that it took some people as much as 20 times to get the HEN running.

Actually the permanent CFW is more safer than the temporary CFW, and can use more apps, etc.Well, some may able to load the HEN after 2-3 tries, depends on which tiff you're using though, and if you having trouble to load the normal tiff,
you can try the modded one, which gives better results, or MHUSpeed.The good news is, you can load the HEN and CFW(e.g GEN-C with Prom) if you somehow close/shut down your PSP, without having to go through the traditional
method using the recently signed homebrew for 5.03 Tiff Exploit.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*That last bit is very interesting, I will look into it.
Now I'm back to thinking of the PSP 3000 again, especially that the price difference is kind of big. (and I don't like to depend on people for modifications)
Also how big of a memory card do I need (or how large is a game such as god of war or Kingdom hearts BBS)?

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

GothiqueFTWI was looking at some electronics shop and found a PSP fat/phat . The salesman says it's better for modification, but I'm not sure if I want one. Should I go for it, it's still more pricey than the PSP 3000, which is weird to be honest.
I know that this shop can do the modification for me. What should I do now?

A 3000 is technically better, like the 200 has more ram...The 3000 cost more because its newer...oh and for god's sake, don't pay to get a 3000 soft modded ><The 1000 has less ram, but hacking it is 100% safe...however with the hackers now having access to the security keps to the psp's prehaps wait a bit until they get iso loaders working :)

Its better to mod it by yourself.Depends on your budget, the bigger it is the more games you can store, though I recommend the one with dual slots(or whatever it is)
Both GoW's sizes on PSP is about 1.5GB+ , as for the KHBSS, should be around 1.7GB+.

In my case the 1000 is more expensive. and if I get a 3000, the soft modding will be done at home.
What do you mean what until they get iso loaders working? Isn't that done already?@meganova: Seems I'm going to need about 4 Gbs minimum, and I don't mind the budget.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*What is " a program used to sign homebrew or eboot" used for?

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*It is an app that used to run any homebrew EBOOTs(games or emulators) on any PSP with official firmware,
but only working on an EBOOT that have size less than 4mb, for now.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*Does this mean that it can be used to sign custom firmwares? Never mind.Does the Prometheus run games from clean ISOs directly?

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

Replying to #49

Nope, only homebrews.Yeah, both clean and patched ISOs.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*even if u get a psp with higher firmware than 6.20 u can still use hen on 6.35 but i would suggest 6.20tn c hen and if u waited a bit u could get the new psp2 (ngp) but i dont think it would get hacked soon

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*I think that PSP buying thing is jinxed. There are protests everywhere and I can't even get out of my home to go pick it up at the store (I guess you guys guessed where I live by now.)
So is there a good emulator that I can run the games on, so I can test the ISOs I'm downloading until I can get it.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

You can try JPCSP, where you should be able to run non-encrypted games, and those without prometheus loader/patched.Yeah, things get pretty worse, huh? Well, better stay at home.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*Thanks a lot for your concern. It is getting worse, I was going to pick it up last week (I even got my modding files ready) but then all hell broke loose :( I don't think I will find it when the mess is over, with all the robbery and stuff that has been going on.
I doubt the emulator will run KHBBS, but I'm planning on getting more ISOs, so it should be fine.Edit: the version I have is patched, it started loading and then said the files patched for Prometheus, but it loaded the splash screen for the menu (the one with the little square video on the side).

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

Replying to #54

Yeah, it won't, unless you have it decrypted first, which can only be done if you have actual PSP,
still if you have the CLEAN/UNTOUCHED iso, perhaps I can decrypt it for you, just send me the EBOOT file, if you interested.Refer to this and this compatibility list for the emulator.Well, just hope your PSP is still there after the mess is over.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*I couldn't get a clean version, this was the only one I could find that was downloadable. All the other ones have magically disappeared. Will this run on a PSP?Edit: the list says this "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - ULJM05600 - Half Playable (Encrypted) - r1796
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - ULUS10505 - Half Playable (Encrypted) - r1791"What does it mean?
Never mind, I just found out.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

Which one you mean? the patched one?

Replying to #56

The 'Encrypted' ISO is equal to the clean one, where it can't be processed directly through emulator or using other method without decrypting it first, excluding the actual PSP.
As you can see, the game can only be played half through into the game on JPCSP, though someone has claimed to be able to finish it.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

Replying to #57

Yes the patched one. And actually I didn't intend to play one the emulator, I just wanted to check out if it would run.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*

Replying to #58

Yeah it should, just make sure if it REALLY patched. But, you can still do it on your own if it wasn't.

Re: Thinking of buying a PSP, need help.*A new challenge appears :(*I will see about that.
I like your signature, Bleach is a great show ^_^
