newbie...and oh so confused

[machu]

Hello all,
I have just been given a brand new PSP slim and immediately googled PSP and found this site.

After having read some of the threads I am so confused about mods and the like, i am not sure what to do.

I would dearly love to get some guidance on and if i should do anything or what the mods will acheive.

I am not sure i understand what bricking/Unbricking is.... ETC.

Please help.

we were all noobs once.. and most of us still are haha. hardly understanding wat we are truly doing.. but if you are looking for guidance i will try and help

please check out this site
PSP Hacking Guide | Blast Processing

there is a fair amount of reading to do... but i suggest buying a new battery and a new memory stick (a small one like 512mb or 1gb)

and follow that site... if you need anything else then just ask

oh and bricking means that you have basically screwed ur PSP.. unbricking can often be done with a pandora battery which u will find out about if you read that guide i gave u

good luck

Thanks heeps, the link is senstatoinal and answered pretty much all my questions so far. I had NO IDEA that i could get the PSP to do so much.

FREEKIN' AWSOME!!!!

Will start looking for a battery and memory stick. btw does the memory stick need to be anything special (Sony Memory??) or just a regular thumb drive which i have a drawer full of?

For starters you'll need a magic memory stick. I made one with with a 256MB Sony memory card and it works perfect, try to google this as they wont let me post URL's here yet, Pandora Universal Downgrader Easy Installer or try PSP totall newbie installer
