[aXisxX]

ok thx man!

one more query!

1.should i erase i mean format again, when i want to install CFW.

2. which way is better format using windows or format using psp inbuilt options!

[max_demon]

to install CFW on PSP use mpspformat.exe tool

[aXisxX]

Should i format it myself! before i give it to a friend for CFW installation.what other things should i look out for.

My account was having some probs so I could not post earlier, so here's some quick info.

1) You don't need another phat PSP, however, you do need a PAndora Battery if you are going to install custom firmware. If you have a PSP 1000 with CFW, then you can turn any batt into a Pandora Batt. (You can try Phiine.com, they ship to india)

2) You do need a spare 256 MB+ MS Pro DUO, Sony/Sandisk are guaranteed to work, others could brick your PSP.

3) A Win XP machine (Sorry, no Vista) as the Pandora easy installer does not work reliably on Vista.

You use Pandora easy installer to turn your memory stick into a magic memory stick with the necessary firmware updates. Plz note that installing Kernel 1.5 is not recommended for Slim.

Use PSP Video 9 for video conversion, it works well.

I own a Slim PSP. I have not converted to CFW as I do not feel the need to yet, but I have the makings In any case you can get PSP games between 500 to 1200, which IMHO is pretty reasonable. (Also there are all of 3 games I (want to) play on the PSP )

Buy the biggest memory card you can afford (You can get a Sony 8GB stick for about 6k) as I very quickly ran out of space on my 4GB card.

1. My Slim doesnt glow green even after 100 percent charge, it glows orangish when charging but after charging complete it doesnt glow orange or green. when i switch on the psp and check battery info it says charge 100 completed.
Is this normal? same thing happens when charging by usb power.

2. which is best for charging USB or Adapter(psp) which one charges fast?

3.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the fingerprints off my psp screen? i got colin and one yellow soft cloth shd i use these to get them off my screen and before applying screen gaurd?

4.should i get hori screen protecter or nomal mobile shop screen protector which one is better are there any alternatives?

[teknoPhobia]

As far as point 1 is concerned, it's perfectly all right. Adapter charges faster. Leave the fingerprints as they are. any screen protector works

The lights are normal, adapter charges faster, ignore fingerprints and any screen protector works

You don't need CFW to play movies

Just check in the PSP Systems menu to see if it says "MagicGate Enabled".

If this message is there, then its a genuine memory card or else you have been duped.

[Pathik]

Isn't it obvious that they are fake? He also knows it I think.

If its original it will display in the psp as

Magic Gate : Supported

If its a fake one it will show as

Magic Gate : Unknown
