I'm in the market for a new PSP. However I have been out of the loop as far as PSP hacking is concerned for quite a while.

Right now I have a phat PSP that already has the latest custom firmware installed.

What I want to do is buy a new PSP slim.

What should I look out for?
Are there certain models that are unhackable using a Pandora battery or are incapable of supporting custom firmwares?
Anyway to identify such models by looking at the packaging?

Thanks for the help.

try and find a PSP-2000 its fully hackable,. with exception of few rare new motherboard's < not sure wich type's
else you have to buy a PSP-3000 but the screen is less quality and "for now" you can only emulate the cf on a 3k
If i am correct you can emulate cf on every PSP if you have firmware 5.03 with HEN cf enabler,../

you could also wait a few month's for the PSP-go!! :)

pandora only works on the PSP-2000 not on the PSP-3000!!

As far as I know all PSPs (including the 3000) are hackable unless they have i think it was 5.50 or higher that chickHEN won't work. Though Apparently there's an 'exploit' in the works for 5.50.
A far as I no there's no way to identify what PSP you'll get by the box.
If a Slim PSP has 4.01 or higher it cannot be hacked by Pandora's battery.

That's probably all I really have to say.

if you mean cf emulation/enabling yes,. once you turn off your 3kPSP you have to enable the cf again with HEN! so not full flash0 suport but yes hackable,.

there was this scanline thingy,. and ingame video laged speeds,. but you might not even notice if you nevar had a psp before,. ..
there is prob some good reason too to buy a 3k,. like the inbuild mic!

thanks for the heads up V1.

The damage:
PSP 3000 Series
Firmware: 4.21

I'm going to try to research my next step but I would sure appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
