How to Install Custom Firmware CFW on your Sony PSP - Works With All Firmware!

Hello everyone! I spent many hours the other day trying to figure this out. Now that I know exactly how to do it I have composed this guide to show you how you can install custom firmware onto your PSP.

In this guide you will use a Pandora Battery and a Magic Memory Stick to install custom firmware onto your PSP. The Magic Memory Stick can be made using any memory stick you have that is at least 100MB. (I would recommended using a 4GB SanDisk because that's the one I used.) The Pandora Battery you will have to buy. There are guides online showing how you can make your own Pandora Battery out of a regular battery but that still require an additional battery that you may have to buy and once you convert it into a Pandora Battery you can't go back. The Pandora Battery that I ordered only cost about $8 with free shipping and it has a switch so that I can use it as a Pandora Battery and as a regular battery.

OK, So let's get started!

Installed Custom Firmware CFW on my PSP!

So I have had this old PSP that I repaired a few months ago. It had a broken screen and a scratched up housing so I replaced the screen and the housing and now it looks like new. It's been sitting on a shelf just collecting dust so I decided that it might be fun to put CFW or Custom Firmware on it.

So I ordered a Pandora battery online for about five bucks and it arrived the other day. It was a cool battery. I read how you could have made your own Pandora battery but that would have still required me to purchase an additional battery so buying a pre-built Pandora battery was the way to go. It also had some cool features. It has a battery indicator on it and it also has a switch so you can actually use it as a regular battery.

Anyway... I got it all downgraded to firmware version 5.00 and installed the CFW! I might make a guide later on explaining how I did this. If you want to know when that guide is published just submit your email in the top right sidebar and you will be notified of any new posts!

Have a great day! :)

Sony got hacked. AGAIN.

It seems just like a few days ago Sony had to shut down their entire PSN network due to hackers breaking in. Now they haven't gone as far as shutting down PSN but that have reported that even more credit and personal information was found by hackers. Who the hell is running the network at Sony? Whoever it is will most likely be out of a job soon...

So supposedly it was a group called Lulzsec thought that hacking into Sony's network once again would show that Sony itself is a bad company.

Some people say that even government emails and passwords were stolen in the attacks. Emails were found that had an extension of .gov or .mil that were using the play station network.

Also Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook was able to find the list of emails that were stolen and was able to secure all of the corresponding Facebook accounts. So for once Mark seems to care about someone other then himself! XD

Ohh well, hopefully Sony and clean this all up again. Maybe it's time to find a new network admin. *Raises Hand*
