Really Important Question about PSP Slim

[AznPride808]

I have a CFW 3.90 M33-2 Phat PSP, I mainly use it for psx games on my psp since i have recently realized the UMD drive is broken and I cant play any UMD's whatsoever. I am planning to buy another psp, maybe a slim, but i was told that the slim psp couldn't do something the phat could, I completely forgot what it was but i know it had something to do with custom firmware and the recovery menu, can someone tell me the disadvantages for a CFW on a slim? Also, can i put on the custom firmware the same way i did on the PHAT?(pandora's battery/jigstick) and can i still play my psx games with popsloader?

I don't think there are many disadvantages anymore - with the use of time machine you can run 1.50 firmware and 3.90 m33 which IMHO are the only two you really need. with those two you can run anything on the slim that can be run on the fat even though it might require the use of some extra applications (such as timemachine) where on the fat you don't need the extra apps.

Lastly, the slim does not have infrared so no infrared keyboard hack or infrared communications of any kind (remote control).

I have both - Get a slim, you can copy your UMD games to memory stick and still play them on your fat. You don't have to install a a lot extra things on your fat if all you want to do is play UMDs and PSX games - you can use your fat for everything else.

hey sin i know timemachine can install 1.50 on slim but for does that make the slim be able to use it like the fat uses the addon?

I want to say yes but I don't know. On a fat you don't do anything but put your 1.50 homebrew in to the game150 folder. On the slim, I don't know what the procedure is. Once I stop being lazy and decide to put TM on my slim, I may know more.
