Many guys have purchased their own choice of PSP for the enjoyment of entertainment. Most of them do not think about the best method while choosing the type and version of PSP which makes them board about the PSP after a while. But those who buy it with knowing all those things enjoy the full entertainment with Playing ISO from memory stick, running Hombrew applications, Enjoying downloaded games and movies without the use of UMD drive.
Therefor here is some few things you must know before you buy a PSP
1. PSP 1000 Series
All psp of 1000 series can be hacked with pandora battery and custom firmware except TA -88v3.
2. PSP 2000 Series
All psp 2000 series including TA-88V3 can be hacked with the firmware 5.03 and below. Therefore remember to check the firmware version of the model you buy. The best method to hack this type of models are using chickhen. If you have bought an old version of psp, a PSP with firmware version 4.00 and below, you can also hack it by using pandora method. But i recommend always to use chickhen method which is less risky.
3. PSP 2000 Series with firmware above 5.03.
These type of PSP have not been able to hack till to date. Main reason for this is Sony have patched the hardware loophole which gave acces to Custom Firmwares to install on previous releases of PSP. But you will be able to run Hombrew applications with the use of Patapon Demo hack.
4. PSP 3000 Series
Well, till today no one was able to hack this model except 5.03 and below. If you have bought PSP 3000 with firmware 5.03 and below you will be able to hack. But personally i have experienced inconsistency after installing Custom Firmwares to this type of models. But you can enjoy Hombre applications with Patapon Demo hack.
5. PSP Go.
So far no one have got access to hack this model. But there is a great hope. Eventhough you can’t hack this model you can enjoy Homebrew applications and games with the help of PSP Demo hack.
Therefore before you are planning to buy a PSP model get some information regarding the models so that you can enjoy full entertainment. For those who are planning to buy a PSP i recommend to wait till Total_Noob releases his HEN which could do some magic in PSP 3000 and PSP Go.
