I'm thinking of upgrading my PSP1000 by getting this beautiful PSP-3000.



But I worry that I may not be able to use CFW on it.

I heard that chickHEN may not work if the firmware in the PSP is higher than a certain version.

Is there any way around this?

Oh and for chickHEN, if I do not use the homebrew enabler i can practically just use the PSP as if I'm on OFW right? So I can still play my UMDs?

peace walker will have 6.20 ofw. in other words, unhackable.

maybe you'll be just able to launch some homebrews, but no way to use a CFW on it....

the faceplate is painted or is it a skin ?

for the first time, i lve a collector psp, even if you can't run a CFW buy it pls and make us a very precise unboxing and presentation ^^ lol

get yourself a PSP 2000 if you want to upgrade here's why:

1: We know pandora will work on the slim (even the dreaded TA-088v3 responds to it, but we don't know HOW to make it work as we want, we can only hope someone is working on it)
2: the slim has the same features as the 3000
3: Pandora has been completely blocked on the PSP-3000 (it won't do anything)
4: the highest known revision of the slim has 5.50 minimum (I believe, I could be wrong here)
5: the only notable difference in the hardware is the screen is a little brighter, in my opinion completely not worth it.

its painted on. i think it looks pretty slick. but for now it seems to be currently not worth my money. i'll just get the UMD collectors edition then. heh. thanks for the support guys.

no problem !

ok my psp-1000 broke. it just wouldn't turn on. so i'm trying to get this bundle. just a quick question, does the original game on OFW allow me to play with others who have backup ISO copies on CFW you think?

I don't see any conflicts it might have. If the *cough*ISO*cough* runs ad-hoc perfectly fine then the PSP's should be able to connect.

Unless Sony or Kojima productions put some kind of update requiring people to play ad-hoc together, their should be no problem.

Meh, I really need to take care of myself and fix that cough.

backups on CFW will work, however it's much better if you actually get the game on UMD because the ISO takes up 1.5gb (or so) and the download data will take another 800mb unless you have a big ms you are not going to have much room for anything else.
