Phat to Lite to Brite! Psp news!!

Recently, I've spent some of my days researching the psp hacks and development that has been going underground, away from the prying eyes of Sony, in an attempt to hack my "unhackable" psp-3001 model. Former psp developer and current creator of the M33 custom firmware series, Dark-AleX, has had trouble using old methods to hack the 300x series, and athough I had waited for him to deliver a cure, I turned to a different method ...

The problem is that, unlike the 100x (phat/fat psps) and some of the older 200x (lite/slim psps), the 300x (brite) series have the TA-090 and higher motherboards on them, which automatically deletes any custom firmware that is installed via a pandora battery (making them totally obsolete =.= waste of $15...). Newer versions of the 200x psps also have this problem, and bricks whenever a custom firmware is installed.

Of course, because of how much people are willing to turn to illegal actions to break away from the dictatorial grip of Sony, a new method of hacking was developed early this month, after waiting almost a year for someone to find a way. From a small development group, Team Typhoon, the application ChickHEN can be used to install ONLY Custom Firmware 5.03 GEN-A, which has all of the benefits from the M33 series. ChickHEN, currently, has no way of playing .iso formats yet, so what it can do now is try to temporary hold custom firmware on. This means the only problem is that, if you completely shut down the psp, you'd have to do the whole process over again.

I currently have not done this method yet (because I'm not sure as to how safe this is for my psp >.>) but will decide to if I find a sure-fire way to do it without bricking. Hence the reason for my late posts, and why I posted this at 1:53 a.m. ...

This is it for the post, and I still haven't moved this to WordPress. Too much work ...
