Hi

Looking for a PSP 2002 Slim with CFW/or the ability to put CFW on it, looking to pay around $230, looking to buy it for a nephew, so would prefer something in good condition.

Appreciate any PSPs offered.

PS : Silver one would be nice

Was looking at ebay, bit worried of buying a psp which does not allow cfw.

This looks like a good forum to ensure this does not happen

Hey Freddy.
An idea is to buy a second hand PSP from EB games or from Cashies. And head over to this site: www.dealextreme.com/ the battery you see is around $14. You also need a memory stick size with at lease 256MB and a max 4gig.

Basically With this battery and a memory stick (which needs something done to it) you can enter it *PSP* into recovery mode, then with the files on the stick, you be able to turn your PSP to custom firmware.

check here to see what you need to do, to create the memory stick to turn the PSP into CFW www.dcemu.co.uk/

Oh and a tip here. DONT GET THE PSP3000 because they haven't been cracked. The "Pandora" Method only works for the PSP1000 and the PSP2000 model. Just ask to see where you can tell what model it is.

Thanks for the information, so how do I ensure that I get a PSP 2000 model which has a crackable motherboard?

Found this one on ebay, what you guys reckon?

cgi.ebay.com.au/

On the item description it says its a PSP-2001?

So what are the bad points of getting a USA region?

And does it affect my chance of getting CFW on it?

Cheers for any Advice provided

Well the main problem with a NTSC region (USA) PSP is that you can't play PAL UMD's. You can only play that preific region's UMD's (in this case NTSC) But it shouldn't affect your CFW problems as far as I can see.

the ebay above link is a slim, if you look at the picture closely it has the speaker port where the slim has it

lol woops it says it slim XD

the chance of getting cfw is pretty high unless its one of those newer models of the 2000 or a psp3000. the chance of getting cfw is not affected by region i doubt it, but i think the US had more psp models so might be a those TA 88v3

i dont think so at the moment. Maybe check the trading post and stuff like that? ebay isn't the only site. The next best thing to getting it off this site is getting us to check the link.
if you need more help just post

Received my PSP in the mail today, its a Official firmware 3.71 (from my readings this is good right)

So I guess I am all okay for a CFW loading, just need to wait for the Pandora battery...

Is this all okay?
