Do you think I should wait till CFW 4.0 to come out to update my PSP.
Also does anyone know anything about CWcheats, becuase mine for some reason isnt working anymore.

I haven't updated to 3.90 yet I'm gonna wait for 4.00 to come out. I haven't CWcheat since 3.71, it might not be compatible with 3.80 or 3.90 yet not many plugins are.

Heyyy, welcome to the site.

First thing to do is to check out the rules a regulations, this'll avoid you getting into any trouble around 'ere!!

www.mypsp.com.au/

Now that's out the way, we can get on with the golden information!!

cFW is awesome. The ways of getting it however can be grizzly. The only way that I know of for you to get cFW is by using a Pandora's battery, The pandora's battery was developed by dark_aleX (DAX for short). It's a battery that when put in the PSP, boots the PSP into service mode, allowing re-flashing of the internal memory, you can use this to re-flash the firmware files to custom firmware files. That's pretty much the psuedocode behind it all.

Now your biggest problem is making/finding a friend with a pandora's battery. There's a couple of ways to do it, The method I used is the Hardmod method, essentially, ripping the battery apart and breaking a connection on one of the chips on the circuit board.
Another method is to find a friend and borrow his/hers to downgrade (DG) your PSP.
Or if you can get access to a PSP with cFW you can make one, I'm not sure on the details of how to do this, but we've got some klever round 'ere that'll help you

You can also buy them, or a "Datel Tool Battery". Personally I think this is an unethical means of getting them, as the people who developed the techniques did not ask for money, and it's wrong for people (Datel) to exploit them.

Good luck with your PSP, and hope to see you around the forums!!

Yeah, unlike old downgrading methods for 2.70 ect, Sony can not patch (stop) this so it doesn't happy. As far as we know, pandoras battery will work on ANY PSP.

Just curious, do you have a slim PSP???

if you want to make one the normal way (not opening your psp) i will be glad to help.

I sugest you get in contact with Lewace11 because you need some files on a memory stick also which are not easy to obtain.

And remember, don't rush things, take your time.

Oh, and what lewace didn't point out is that your PSP battery will not work as a normal battery after this. If i where you i would find a place to buy an official Old (phat) psp's battery and a 128mb memory stick for this.But thats just me

im about to go out to get a memory stick. i know you said i should get a 128mb, but the link i posted earlier says at least 512. i dont want to spend money i dont need to, but r u sure a 128 will be enough.

128mb is heaps for pandora. If it puts your mind at ease i have 2 128mb Sandisk Pandora memory sticks . Just make sure they're Pro Duo, though I'm not entirely convinced it matters
