Playing psp games?

[ssgoku2425]

I just needed help on how to play the psp games. i just have got one. do i need an emulator or can the files be copied to the psp? any help would be appreciated.

u need to flash a cracked firmware to it
it is a little complex
i heared u need special bateries to change the way it boots before u can flash the firmware
some shops do it you can try asking
after that just format your memory card and put your games (iso)or( cso)
into iso folder

thanx for the reply. yeah it seems a little complicated. but i don't think i can downgrade my firmware cause i already have 3.52. and they don't have one that downgrades my version yet. so i guess i'll have to wait.

hey dude try this site:

Its the most decent PSP hacking site i've seen

that site was helpful thanks

You can pay someone to do it for you or you can do it yourself. Go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (recommended) for step-by-step tutorial on how to downgrade and install the latest updates for psp ISOs and emulators. For psp tuts, ISO (games) and homebrew files go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (qj.net contains some useful files)

WARNING: if you do not downgrade properly or install the wrong files there would be the risk of bricking your PSP.

You can downgrade it
I can't explain what i did because i don't have time to write a lot but this will help you downgrade it

Buy this battery --> Max tool battery which is equal to the pandora battery. This won't brick your psp and it will downgrade it easily , just put the battery once you buy it, create your magic memory card, read more about it, then that is it, follow these youtube to help you downgrade it then upgrade it to custom firmware ;p

Memory card

Then you need to buy the cord that connect your psp to your pc then download and read these sites, oh and you need a memory card pro due. You can buy it online cheap from here

read about this:

I think this will help you make the magic memory card i think, don't modify your battery to turn it Pandora, just buy that max tool battery it is easier that way so skip these step about the battery part.

Search Google for the TOTALNewbi MS Installer. This will create the files you need for the memory stick. It's much more versatile then the files I have previously been distributing.

Ok, so you want to unbrick or downgrade your PSP but don't have a PSP capable of running homebrew apps. No problem! In this tutorial I will show you how to modify the battery's hardware to make it activate service mode.

This is our victim. Please note that while this concept may work on non-Sony batteries, only official batteries are guaranteed to have the same internals, so we recommend using one.

STEP 1:

The first thing you need to do is obviously crack open the battery. Surprisingly, the battery isn't very hard to get in to. In this picture you can see that I'm just using a guitar pick to slide in through an edge and slide around the perimeter of the battery to seperate the two halves.

STEP 2:

Next, we need to locate a certain chip. The chip has the model number S93C56 printed on it. We are going to need to desolder pin 5 and lift it off of the board. Here is a magnified view of the board, which shows where the chip is and which pin needs to be lifted.

Newer batteries have a much smaller board with a different layout. The same chip needs to have the pin lifted, but the chip is in a different position. Once you've located chip S93C56, the rest of the instructions are basically the same. This has been confirmed with the 2200 mAH Official Sony battery.

STEP 3:

If you are not confident in your soldering skills, have a less than steady hand or have a larger-than-optimal sized tip, please desolder the cell pack from the battery first. If you make contact between pins 5 and 6 then you will short ground to +3.6VDC! Not good! When desoldering the cell, only keep the iron on long enough to melt the solder. If you can, use a higher wattage iron so that the tip will be hotter, but you won't transfer as much heat to the cell pack. Remember that heat + Li-Ion battery = large explosion (t3h sux0r5, unless you get in on video. Seriously though, this operation is not for the faint hearted, and should definitely not be your first soldering experience. I recommend trying your hand on lifting the pins on an N64 CPU chip. Surely if you spend enough time here you have a couple killed N64 mobos laying around. )

Now is actually desoldering the pin. There are a few ways you could do this, but I think my method is the best because its less likely to damage components near by. Use an Xacto knife with a sharp tip and try to put it underneath the pin. Get somebody to hold a soldering iron (WITH A VERY FINE CONICAL TIP!) on the pin. When the solder melts you can pop the pin up with the knife. Be sure not to hold the iron on the board too long to avoid the lithium battery from getting too hot and exploding. When your done it will look something like this.

STEP 4:

Finally, close the battery's casing. Use some Krazy Glue to keep it closed, or just use electrical tape around the edges like I did. I don't actually recommend the electrical tape as it makes the battery very snug in the compartment and it takes a bit of force to get it out. You can use the battery just like a regular Pandora's battery. As for getting the Memory Stick files, I can tell you that they are out there and you can find them after a bit of Googling. However, I can't tell you exactly where to find them as they contain copyrighted Sony code, and sharing them is illegal.

How does this work?

The pin that we just lifted was actually the ground pin of the EEPROM. Removing this pin effectively shuts off the EEPROM. When the microcontroller inside the battery tries to read the EEPROM, it will think the EEPROM contains all 1s (in binary). This is because of the pull-up resistors on the data lines. So the microcontroller returns a serial number of 0xFFFFFFFF to the PSP, which then goes into service mode.

Thank you for reading this, and if you have any questions, make sure to post and I'll try to help you!
