Post by **TGbot** » Fri 18 Feb 2011 13:23

Image unavailable (removed by its host) Image unavailable (removed by its host) There are 4 PSP models on the market, the Fat (PSP1000), the Slim (PSP2000), the 3000 and the GO. Sony has evolved the motherboards and features of the PSP models, while fighting piracy, for example by including locks on certain versions. The main question that keeps coming up on forums, can I install a permanent Custom Firmware on my PSP? PSPident will identify your motherboard and thus tell you what's possible to do with your PSP. PSPident works without issues on Custom Firmware and on HEN ( 5.50 up to 6.35 ). You're telling yourself, I'm tired of HEN ( non-permanent Custom Firmware ), can I install a permanent Custom Firmware? Can my PSP pandorize a battery? ( The Pandora battery is a battery that lets you debrick, downgrade a PSP and plenty of other things too) We'll see all that in another tuto! Alright let's get started! We're going to download the archive of PSPident 0.74.2, here's the link. Download

This content is for members only. Log in or register for free to see it.

Then you connect your PSP to your PC via usb ( if you don't know how, follow the HEN tuto, HEN, it's over here). Open the archive you downloaded and inside you'll find a PSP folder, which you'll drag and drop to the root of your Memory Stick. Once that's done, take your PSP and go to the Gameicon, scroll down to Memory Stick and press X. If everything's ok, you'll see this icon appear. Image unavailable (removed by its host) Now, press X, which will launch PSPident. The software will look for the info and display it for you! Image unavailable (removed by its host) What's written in green is the name of the software and the developer's name. Next to Kernel Version, that's your PSP's Firmware version. We don't worry about the Kirk, the Spock and the Fuses, but you can note the Motherboard Type ( motherboard type ) and your motherboard's generation ( 1g , 2g , 3g , 4g, etc...), same for Motherboard Model ( motherboard model ) and we don't worry about Umd Version. Moving on to the next lines, PSP Version, you can note it and finally here are the two most important lines. Bat eeprom access ( ability to create a pandora battery), if you have Yes, you're all good, if you have No, it's a lost cause, your PSP can't create a pandora. And to finish Possible CFW ( ability to install a permanent Custom Firmware ), same, Yes, it's possible, No, you'll only be able to install HEN ( non-permanent Custom firmware). There you go, now you know everything, you can quit the software by pressing X.

Well dare and you'll get your answer

The permanent isn't mandatory...........

The permanent works on motherboards 1g 2g 3g 4g 5g.

The only thing is that in case of a brick, for X or X reasons, the psp is dead because it's un-unbrickable.

The installer has a test function, so the risk is measured.
