I just purchased a new Slim Silver PSP today and I have a few questions. I have read about the many different things you can do with a PSP, but this is fairly overwhelming. What I am looking to do is be able to play NES, SNES, and PS1 games on my PSP, as well as change my background. I am under the impression that in order to run emulators you need some sort of custom firmware. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!

Yikes, I guess I'll do this eventually, I Just don't wanna screw anything up.

well, if you find someone you trust on here, they can make one for you for a price, or you can visit codejunkies.com and look for a datel tool battery (i hear they are not to great on shipping though)

As long as you can read, you will be fine. http://www.pspmod.com/forums/psp-firmware-guides/
Read, figure out which one you feel comfortable with, ask some ?'s and thats it.

Maybe I'll buy an extra battery just in case something goes wrong.

Do I have to do this mod in order to play PS1 games on my PSP? I remember there being a demonstration at E3 of a guy playing a PS1 game on his slim psp, and I assumed it didn't have custom firmware considering the event and that custom firmware voids the psp warranty.

if your on OFW any you want to play ps1 games you have to buy thwm from the playstation store.

[groovetuber]

Do I have to have a PS3 in order to buy the PS1 game and transfer it to my PSP, or am I able to download the PS1 game to my computer, and then transfer it over to me PSP?

[DarkFoxSniper]

I believe you can do it online through PC.

Select Country/Region

[groovetuber]

Hmmm, ok, I'll have to read into it.

That extra battery will cost ya about $45 in a store though.
Nothing can really go wrong if you have a steady hand and can read directions

[groovetuber]

How are you supposed to get the battery put back together so that it's secure?

[d[^_^]b_psp]

i just stick the cover on for when i use it, you can try wrapping it with electric tape
