I posted "Since there will be no risk of bricking a psp, hopefully there will be hybrid custom firmwares that let us play isos on 2.0+ firmware."

Now it seems like that's true :D

The Epsilon firmware will allow people to play isos on 2.71 firmware, but the modchip is required to install the firmware. No loaders will be needed, just a umd emulator type thing which will be built in.

cool, so will you be abl to 'unbrick' your 2.7 psp and make it play pirate gamesiso's even when the psp's modchips off? and will you be able to play onnline?

wifi should work fine, but I think some umds have "serials" encoded in them, not too sure about it, so the ones in common ISOs would be blacklisted, but maybe a keygen and patch of an ISO would work. With my 1.5 psp, fifa works online, need for speed most wanted 5-1-0 works online, and ad-hoc will work online with the new cracked firmware + modchip. There aren't that many infrastructure games anyway, that I know of at least. You could always use kai or xbconnect to tunnel an adhoc connection.

I just did an advance purchase but not from the company listed above. They are suppose to have them in by the end of this coming week. I think for $90 including shipping its a great price to be able to play whatever i want.

cool, ringwar when you get the modchip can you tell us some extra info about if.

That I will. I just don't know how much software will be available right off the bat. but at least i'll be able to run 1.5 again.

see i have a 2.71 PSP and i think i like the idea of being able to use homebrew and other programs on the PSP. At the moment i dont have the $90 but when i do i will buy a U.P.

A question. Do u think the instalation of the Mod Chip will be hard to install or moderatly easy?

well iv being asking that for weeks with NO REPLY!!!! i wanna know how many wires aswell.

I've heard 13 wires.

lol,Don't expect to install this without some work, as there will be "23-24 wires to install."

i dont even know if i will get thi modchip, seems ver easy to stuff your psp up if you slder 1 wire wrong.
plus he price is very expencive so id wait for iit to go down a bit.

Hi guys i Finally got the modchip......

how is it? does it allow you to play isos and all?

---

lol i didn't install it yet because it looks way to hard to do alone.

It is too hard to do alone, you should definitely get a professional to do it.

I know its just way too hard...

My brother just got his today, if all goes well, ill try to post the results:)

svtstang.....ok thanx alot....and tell me if he's good with the solder part cause seriously that is the only problem.....

Well Everyone I Don't Have A PSP
But I Am Pretty Much Watching The scene
i wanted to help you so i made a search on some forums and i found that this is a good device
link : http://www.mydigitaldiscount.com/s.nl/it.A/id.777/.f;jsessionid=a...

as far as i understood u could put a laptop hdd in it with all what u want and copy them to the memory stick when u need them

and however i am interested in getting a psp now since the modchip is out and i can unbrick a psp , so i'll get a **cheap** broken one via Egay and solder the chip myself then unbrick it hehe

Thanx Retro_rc..... That is great, the only thing is that i had one of those for the PSP before and it worked the same way you said it would work with the modchip inside. I think that you will be able to put iso's on a device like that and load it from that device instead of the memstick.....HOPEFULLY....

@exsean

Have you tried the new 2.5/2.6 downgrade yet? I only recommend it if you have a psp that has been updated to eather of firmwares, but latest version is producing a very high success rate of downgrades, and if anything does go wrong, you call always use your chip to fix it. The exploit is everywhere, but you have to have access to a UMD of GTA LCS for it to work.

Hey svtstang...


I wanted to try it soo bad but, both my PSP's are Bricked and even though I have the UP i still don't want to take that chance. But thanks for the update man and if you are interested i know alot of hacks just email me at SEANG172002@GOOGLE.COM.

Sorry Guys Didn't Catch Your replays i was away 4 a while

first of all u r not supposed to load the isos of that thing but
put the mem inside it and delete an iso on the mem and put a new one from the hdd

as for your bricked psp i rekon that u get the old gta-lcs with firmware 2.0 on the umd and try and load it maybe u'll luckily get the firmware installed (2.0) and you r off to a new start

also i need help finding a bricked psp didn't meet any on ebay but my searching time was very limited so i'll be happy if u give the link to one thats bricked if u stumble across any<> actually all i find are ones with broken screens how much does the screen cost??

if i get a new one hopefully i'll release a video of the soldering process, which i overlooked and found that those solder aid boards could be really helpful (are they shipped with the chip)

---

Screens cost about $60-$70, I've gotten one for a broken psp of mine before, it wasn't hard - just be careful not to scratch the backlight when you're seperating the old lcd and the backlight.

Also, if you have a bricked you can't even start up a umd.

Im buying a PSP soon and was wondering:

Should i crack my firmware and downgrade to 1.5, then use 2.71SE-C OR Should i spend the extra money and get a PSP with Undiluted Platinum pre-installed?
