O.k guys I am really sorry to post because I am sure you get so many of the same questions. This is a hard topic to search on because there is so much old stuff mixed with new. O.k basically I am looking to buy a psp off craigslist. I want a 1000 or 2000 so I can mod it. I would like the 2000 because I would enjoy video out and the faster web browsing. I mainly want movies, music, and emulators, such as snes, gba and maybe N64 but I read N64 doesn't work well. I would like to know if you guys have any advice as to what I should buy to make sure my psp is hackable. Also I am pretty sure you can hack a psp without ever taking apart or buying a battery. Do these instructions I found in another post look right

1. Update to 5.03 OFW. Done

2. Install ChickHEN, refer to the ChickHEN R2 readme that is bundled (I haven't used it so idk)

3. Extract the Recovery Flasher 1.60 .rar/.zip

4. Place the "RECOVERY" folder, in the X:/PSP/GAME folder of your mem stick.
X being the root.

5. Run ChickHEN by going to 'Photo' in the XMB, then 'ChickHEN', the the bottom picture. (If that fails, search the forums, theres a few theads on ChickHEN)

6. Once the device reboots, go to 'Game' then Recovery Flasher.

7. Once in the program, select install 5.00M33-6, wait for it to finish, then your done, you can delete ChickHEN, but keep Recovery Flasher just in case you semi brick your console.

Will this permanently install the best CFW on a 1000 or 2000. Are these the only things you need to do? Also anything else you think I should know about the difference in 1000 or 2000, or modding or anything please tell me.
