Is your PSP hackable? Know before buying


 

The guys at PSPhacks have released a nice article explaining how you can get a PSP that is hackable, or at least downgradable.

Before you buy a PSP for that special gamer this Holiday season, you have to ask yourself one thing: do they homebrew? If the answer is yes, you better take care not to get a unit with a firmware over 2.0 — otherwise, no hackie. You can determine the firmware version by checking for a letter code above the UPC on the bottom of the box.

    Now they tell me lol… Unfortunatly Im “G” – 2.01 Guess no homebrew for me. But maybe in the future :D

  2. Azza says:

    Damn it. i’m god damn ‘G’ aswell … homebrew has an enlightening future ahead of it with also been able to CONTROL YOUR HOUSE through a XB1ilx Router. Cooolll …. Maybe in the future someone will hack the psp fully … and run windows xp FULLY. Imagine the possibilites of that *drools* …. Next thing i want to see is FLASH and JAVA (Fully Supported) in the internet browser and for the LocationFree Router to DECREASE in PRICE!!!

    We can only hope.

  3. Griffith says:

    I don’t mean to burst your bubble Azza, but it’s very unlikely to be able to run Windows XP decently on a PSP.

  4. Madin says:

    Hey…mine has no letter there at all…..now what does that mean?

  5. PSPDUDE says:

    Hey #4 No letter at all and most likely was with the first million batch which came with spider man 2 movie its 1.5

  6. Madin says:

    Ok thanx…but im a noob to this so is it better to have a low number(1.50)or is it better to have a high number(2.01)?

  7. branden says:

  8. Ketil Tuft says:

    Together with my PSP labeled letter C (firmware version 1.52) comes a demo-disc that I am instructed to boot from before doing any thing else. The disc is marked to include syste software version 2.0 and it probably opgrades my PSP. I am how ever afraid that it is actualy 2.01 and not 2.0. Is there any way of finding out what version (2.0 or 2.01) is on the demo disc. Is there allso any way of running the demo-software on the disc without being upgraded?
    Lastly: are there any reason to upgrade to 2.0 if it is 2.0 and not 2.01 on the demo disc?

    Best regards
    and thanx for all help in advance from a
    newbee in Norway.
