Disclaimer:
I am a rookie on PSPs. Bought mine last month and updated to 6.10. After going through a lot of tutorials and wasting one battery, this is what I figured out. This works for sure.
However, do this at your own risk. I cannot be held responsible for any damage.

There is already a tutorial using pandora method that can be found here>>[GUIDE] Complete Custom Firmware Guide

But thx for trying anyway dude...but you forget to change some very important detail...are you forgetting that some psp slim, with a TA-088v3 motherboard can not be hacked using pandora method.

[mattyyey]

nice try nick_shire but its the details that let you down..... good first post tho....

[azn069]

Let's just hope no TA-088v3 users read this.

[CF Etnie]

this is laid out way more complicated than what I did for mine and yea TA-088v3 users beware. plus isnt there 2 or 3 other threads already on this subject?

[peppedaman]

you should edit out the part about the isos and free games, we do not promote piracy here.

nice guide, even though we have tons, its still good effort

[vmurph]

Hey, Peppedaman! Long time no see.

[azn069]

The new thread title is pretty much a magnet for pirates.

You could do it quicker you know.
