I've had my aging PHAT PSP for ages now, and it's really starting to show it's age. It functions adequately, don't get me wrong. I'm always careful and look after my belongings, it's still in good shape and is pretty similar to how it was when I first acquired, however I've realised that some of the newer games are very demanding and the PHAT PSP with it cumbersome RAM; it cannot handle some of the advanced features.
For instance web browsing is a pain, and I always get reports for the PSP asking me to turn off the images because there isn't any ram to display the pics properly, also the PHAT PSP cannot handle the skype software that comes default with the newer slimmer PSP... sigh.
So I'm going to go off and list my PSP on ebay and get ir dof it once and for all, if anyone wants a PSP with 3.90 M33-2 firmware, in metallic silver, with 1 UMD game, and 8 DVDs worth of ISO games, send me a message here and I'll get back to you.
There's so much to choose from on these PSPs, I'm going to order a RED slim PSP with god of war customized vinyl stuck on.
It should be superb!
Keep your eyes open and I'll let you know how I get on with my new SLIM PSP

The Pandora
The Pandora changed the way we develop our PSPs, it means we can downgrade ANY psp that sony now throw out there, and it means that we can take massive risks in downgrading and not worry because we can recover them EASILY by reloading a working software from boot-up.
The PSP development scene has come to a new era, thanks to noobz team, Team C+D, Dark Alex and team M33 (which is alledged to have been Dark Alex) rebranded.
Hehe, dark Alex had to resign from the scene after sony hackers managed to find out who dark Alex was and published his name and address on the internet, fearing for his safty he pulled the plug on his project, congratulated the sony hackers for their efforts and left the scene.
Thousnads of PSP fans we wonder what would happen next, is this the end of the line for SONY development? is this the end of the line for homebrew?
fear not Team M33 were there to take on the PSP homebrew development throne, at irst they were mistrusted, the dodgy programming made some people suspicious, and people began to write on forums how they think m33 are sony in disguise, and they're only going to end up auto-bricking, and costing the open development scene millions on pounds.
But these were just blank fears,
M33 delivered, and continue to deliver to this day
I couldn't pandorize my battery for some reason so I went off and bought a battery from pandoragadets, you can buy pandora battery here if you don't have a PSP with open edition firmware to create your pandora battery.

The downgrade
back then we didn't have a Pandora battery to help us to downgrade PSPs, there were a few odd version of the PSP that was downgradable, but some of the PSPs were doomed to offcial firmware versions for the mean time before dark alex came up with a workaround.
Fortunately for me, My PSP was already on version 1.5 downgraded by the chinese guys from the factory. So I immediately got it and proceeded to install 3.40 OE firmware on it, curtosy of dark alex's patch.
You see, back then downgrading was a nerveracking expereince because if you were to badly flash the firmware, then you'd have a massive liklihood of BRICKING the PSP, that meant that it would be as useful as a paperweight only about 20 times more expensive.
So every time you rank an open edition upgrading, you could feel the heart in your stomach and your throat would get dry.
A lot of people bricked their PSPs and then sold it off as a spare part. Boy I wish I was around then buying up these 'spare part PSPs' with the knowledge that I could restore it with pandora in a couple months time.
So I installed the 3.40 OE firmware and installed my best game ever onto my PSP, SOuld Blade,the debauchery continues, the bloodshed and terror of Cervantes, the Pinache and speed of Li Long.
I spent the next few months destroy the dpad playing beat em up games, listhen folks, there was a reason why they never invented a beat em up game for the PSP, it's because some guys would permanently destroy the D-pad of their PSPs.
