*****************************

READ DESCRIPTION !!!

*****************************

Ok this is Part 1 of 2 of my turorial for how i installed CFW on my psp without a pandora battery
the things you will need are.
1. PSP (of course) you will need a fat or slim and lite psp. the 3000 version
and the version with the TA-88v3 mother board won't work.
2. a mini USB cable (to connect the psp to the pc.)
3. a memory stick pro duo. (you know the one you put in the psp.
4. Firmware 5.03. if you have a lower firmware you can update to it but don't update any further then firmware 5.03.

WARNING! Firmware 5.50 isn't supported... yet.
ChickHEN and people are working on a ChickHEN version for 5.50 which is supposed to be coming out in june or something so when that happens you'll be able to use time machine to downgrade to 5.03 to do this. just be patient,

you may also want to try turning off auto UMD and UMD cache and format the psp memory card before doing this.

and DON'T i repeat DON'T turn off your psp during the CFW installation. cause you WILL brick your psp! and have to buy a pandora's battery to fix it.
you also don't need any specific amount of battery charge. if you think you don't have enough charge to last the install you can just plug in your ac charger thing.

You can download the software you need here.

Firmware 5.03 update file download.

Do you still play with a Psp?

[nfistfu]

@taipangr Funny you should ask that. I'm actually setting it up to play on an old tv of mine right now. (My new psp go that is. The phats don't have that feature.)

[fireott]

what do we on the second vid??? its not up anymore

[nfistfu]

@fireott The second video is up. I just looked and the second video is still there and is working fine. As a matter of fact it's the first video in the list of suggested video's.

[fallenasshole]

i just did the same as you and now my PSP 1003 won't switch on how do u get it bk on

[nfistfu]

@fallenasshole If it's not switching on then something must have gone wrong and the only way to get your psp to turn back on again is to use a pandora battery and a magic memory stick (Which can be made from a regular memory stick). They cost like 30 bucks on ozmodchips and about 13 bucks on deal extreme.

[taipangr]

@TheAleksa1998bre lol i just asked him if he still play omg-.-

Just watch the video little kid!!!

[TheAleksa1998bre]

@taipangr And why shouldnt he!You came to watch this video cuz you were probably interested ofr a PSP or hacking it...so you play it to!!!

[momo2877]

my psp turned off what i have to do

[hsplightning]

Ignore my previous comment I went into Recovery Mode and found out that my friend didn't fix the settings.

[hsplightning]

Everything worked up to the point that I have custom firmware and everything now, but whenever I play a game (Monster Hunter Freedom Unite not on a UMD), I get the following error "The game could not be started. (80020321)" I have CFW on my PSP and everything works fine, this is my friends PSP that I just put CFW on last night and the same games that work on my PSP do not work on his right now. If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

5.00 m33 is the only way to go wewt!!!

[msukiller666]

[bragybhoy]

[fango999]
