Beginner overview

Hey everyone, i just have a few questions. I know all the resources i need are here, im just not sure which ones pertain to my needs.

I just want to know what i'd need in order to play ISOs on my psp as well as emulators, music from my comp, ect. There is a lot of info flying around and i dont know where to start.

Whats the best way to mod a PSP phat?
Do i need a pandora battery, or are there other ways to mod it?
What programs will i need?
Basically i'm seeing a ton of great info, but i dont know whats necessary.

It would be a HUGE help if someone were to just list what i need, and what i need to do. no need to explain it, as long as i know what i need to do im sure i can find guides for it here

Thanks in advance!

what firmware are you running? it's under settings>system settings>sys. info. on your psp menu

[Darkfyrefw]

thats the thing, i dont own a psp yet, i work at a game store and i have a used one on hold for myself, im just debating if its worth it or not :/

i could check later tonight possibly, but for now, im not sure.. still stuck at school.

[pazuzu]

well if it has 3.50 or less it would be worth it, however you'd have to get lumines for that or gta lcs for 3.03? i think. i would find out and check back here after that.

[Darkfyrefw]

Okay, so completely hypothetically, if it was over 3.5, would i need a pandora battery? orr...?

plus im not sure which firmware is best after i am able to change it.. i'll get back to you with the firmware version though, i guess im just impatient :P

[pazuzu]

yes.

and yes, you can change firmware after modding.

[Darkfyrefw]

so i dont need a pandora battery if the firmware is below 3.5?

[pazuzu]

......exactly.

[Darkfyrefw]

Okay, i called up work and they said that its 3.52, so i need to get one of those spiffy batteries. would it be easier/cost less to make one myself, or just buy a pre-made one? I have a decent amount of computer knowledge, and if all i need to do to break a solder point, i should be fine

and sorry for being such a noob, im just trying to get everything crystal clear ^^ and thank you tons for the quick replies

[rex922]

just break off the pin but be careful many ppl have ruined their batteries in doing so
