How to Hack My PSP Slim

There are a few ways to hack a PSP device, including variations of hard-modding and soft-modding. With a Pandora battery, and a "magic memory stick" you are able to install custom firmware onto your PSP using one of the most popular hard modding methods. Custom firmware will allow you to use consumer created games, applications and tools on your PSP device.
