Just making sure

Tehkis · 10-26-2009, 01:39 AM

I have a PSP-2000. It has the newest firmware on it, version 6.1. If I am reading correctly, there is no way to downgrade this version? Just making sure I got it right. Haha

Thanks for your help.

True. No way to downgrade or get custom firmware. Sorry bud.

mobsterbouma · 10-26-2009, 01:51 AM

well actually if you have a hackable motherboard then yes its possible with a pandora battery

Tehkis · 10-26-2009, 01:52 AM

I was really sad, and then kinda hopeful... I thought Pandora batteries only worked with firmware 3.5ish or lower...

mobsterbouma · 10-26-2009, 01:53 AM

no they work for any firmware but only if the mb os hackable. if not itll brick the psp. all phat psp's are moddable and some 2000's are too

Tehkis · 10-26-2009, 02:06 AM

Haha, great. Any idea how I find out if mine is or not. It is one of the Final Fantasy VII Special Edition ones... Don't really wanna take the chance on it bricking after how much I spent for it.

You can't brick it, the pandora simply won't do anything if you have the TA-088v3 motherboard. No danger whatsoever. But yeah, check that thread mobster has linked to find out.

Tehkis · 10-28-2009, 01:23 AM

So I went to the link and read everything on it...

1. I have no idea what the original firmware was that came on it. I searched around and couldn't find a definite answer either. If anyone knows, that would be a great help, as said before, its the Special Edition Final Fantasy VII one, Japenese version.

2)Serial code below the battery
This doesn't matter, it says anyway...

3)Box Code and limited edition bundles
This doesn't mention my limited edition bundle, and I have no box code. It just says ss259 where it would be.

4)New box type serial codes
Not on my box.

5)DA's TA-88v3 identifier
Website down, and I don't have access to anyone that has an already hacked PSP.

6)Date code
No date code...

So, I guess I just buy the pandora and MMS and try?

i googled once for the missing identifier and found it. and that was 4 weeks ago.

well if you are determined to have a hacked psp then yes get a pandora.

you can make your own mms too, search the forums

Yes, your PSP is hackable. All silver Slims are hackable.

Tehkis · 10-28-2009, 03:05 AM

So, if I go and buy a kit in the corner, it states,

Contents of the Kit

· 1 x Magic Memory Stick
· 1 x Pandora Battery

Compatibility Chart

- PSP Fat 1000 All versions supported
- PSP Slim 2000 Firmware versions up to 3.95
- PSP Slim 3000 Not supported

I know I was told somewhere, but I just want to be sure, this will work on ALL OFWs, correct?

Don't buy from this site. And yes; if your Slim is hackable (it is) then the actual firmware doesn't matter.

Haha. Where is it suggested to buy from then? Wanna make sure I get something that works and isn't gonna screw me over.

.ChAoS-FaCtiOn. · 10-28-2009, 03:19 AM

Just google, really. I bought my first one (before I started making them) from ebay. This site has terribly slow shipping, and fake memory sticks.
