Dark Alex is all in spanish, I’m American and really don’t understand that type of language. I want to hack my PSP so I can play my roms and psp game images. I had it hacked back in the 05 days but I had to update it for a friend so they can borrow it and play on a road trip. I need to rehack it but this time with new hacks. Any ideas on guides besides Fidel Castros websites?

How To Install Custom Firmware On Psp
This guide will show you how to install custom firmware on a Psp, with pictures every step,
if thats not enough there will also be video tutorials on every step. If you have any questions
or queries that have no been explained here, there is a FAQ section in the second post.
I’ll change some of the words, NO MEANS NO.
/! Please Read /!
Psp Slim & Lites, that came with 4.01 – 4.05 Official Firmware or higher will most likely have
the “TA-088v3″ motherboard. This means that the Psp will not be able to install custom
firmware. Now if you want to check even more if you have the “TA-088v3″ motherboard, then
check the boxcode, if it has the letter “G” or superior on it then it has the unhackable
motherboard. Image of what your looking for: Here
Requirements
To use this tutorial you will need the following:
*The Original Or Slim & Lite Psp
*Memory Stick Pro Duo 64MB – 4GB capacity
*Computer With XP Or Vista
*Spare Battery (If Using Hard Modding Method)
Step 1: Making A Magic Memory Card
Firstly, you will make a
magic memory card. To do this follow the steps:
Video Tutorial: Here
Download the file below:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NDIE4XAZ
Extract the file using Winrar
Go in the extracted folder and open the “RainMMS” Application
Click the button “Load EBOOT”
Locate the “Magic Memory Card” folder, then inside open the “Firmwares”
folder and select the “401.PBP” file and click “Open”
As shown in the image, make sure both the circled options are ticked
Connect the Psp to the computer by USB Mode, make sure you have
inserted the memory card you want to be made “magic” in. Then in the
application next to “Target Drive” it should automatically find the drive
of the Psp, if not search for it manually
Now leave all the other options as they are (or if not the same as the
picture above change them as in the picture). Now click the button in
the bottom right hand side to make the Magic Memory Card, as shown
above
During the process the application will act as it has crashed, but don’t
worry it’s not really. It should take about 5 minutes to complete, once
it has done exit USB Mode safely and click “Finish”
Step 2: Creating A Pandora’s Battery
Secondly, you will need to create a Pandora’s Battery. There is two
methods to do this, pick one of the ways and follow its guide below:
A) Using A Custom Firmware Psp
You will need to find somebody with a Psp with custom firmware installed,
that will allow you to borrow it for 5 minutes. Most versions will work if they
have ether M33 or OE installed
B) Hard Modding
You will need a spare battery, the battery you mod will be rendered useless
for “normal” use. Therefore it can only ever be used as a Pandora’s battery
and can’t be changed back. To do this you will have to take apart the battery
and cut a pin
A) Using A Custom Firmware Psp
Video Tutorial: Coming Soon!
Download the file below:http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9GD9TAXP
Extract the file using WinRar
Open the extracted folder “Pandora – Method 1″
Right-click on the “GAME” folder and select “Copy”
Put the Psp in USB Mode with the Magic Memory Card inserted, then open the folder “PSP”
Paste the folder you copied before in here, overwriting the other “GAME” folder
Put the battery you want to make into a Pandora in the custom firmware Psp, then insert the Magic Memory Card
Browse to the memory card, then load “OS Pandora Battery…”
Press “X” to continue
Scroll “Convert to service mode…” and press “X”
You should see this message shown above, now press “X” and turn the Psp off
B) Hard Modding
Video Tutorial: Coming Soon!
You will need the following equipment…
A razor (or something similar), mini screwdriver, tape and the battery to modify
Using your razor score the slides of the battery a couple of times, then the front should come off like a lid, be
careful not to score to far as you could pierce the inside of the battery as it will ether set on fire or melt the
insides (I’m not kidding it’s happened to me!)
If your finding it hard to get the battery open by scoring, use the mini screwdriver to gently wedge it open
Once you have the case open gently pull up the circuit board as shown above
Locate the chip shown above on the circuit board it
should have below it “IC04″. If not don’t carry on as
your battery might not work as a Pandora’s Battery
Cut the pin shown cleanly, in the middle so it is disconnected and
not touching any other pins around it. Make sure its not touching
anything as it will fuse the battery making it broken
Now close up your battery together and tape the slides, so that it does
not come apart in the Psp
Step 3: Testing the Pandora’s Battery
Thirdly, you will need to test the Pandora’s Battery you made, to do this put in the battery. If the green light
comes

You need custom firmware. You need a pandora battery or a magic memory s tick. It downgrades your PSP into a 1.50 because its the most unsecured and very hackable. Then, put the magic/normal Memory Stick and plug it in your computer or use a USB and connect it to your computer. Then go to Computer and then go to the drive that is for the PSP. Then double click PSP and then make a new folder. To make a new folder, you have to Right Click> New> New Folder. Name it “ISO” then drag your downloaded games for PSP and put it in the folder “ISO”.
