Find out if your PSP can be Hacked

Below i have posted a simple, to-the-point table detailing what PSP models can be hacked and does who cant be hacked. And if you’re able to hack your PSP, make your final move by installing the appropriate Custom Firmware. Later i will post some PSP Plugins and you can try to load em under any firmware to improve your PSP functionality.

By reading this table i assumes that you know how to find your PSP model and firmware version.

If you’re not familiar with all this PSP jargon, then I suggest you read below the table.

psp-100X–> all are hackable regardless of firmware with the use of PANDORA.
psp-200X–> old ones are fully hackable with pandora(3.95 and below) and new ones are semi-hackable if ur firmware is 5.03 or lower
psp-300X–> all are semi-hackable unless ur firmware is above 5.03
psp-GO –> you cant hack these as of yet at all…

4 How do i know what PSP model do I have?
Ok with this as with the region you have you have to check the sticker at the bottom there at then end you will find one of the following:

PSP-100X This is the first PSP model the Phat
PSP-200X This is the second model the PSP Slim
PSP-300X This is the third and most recent model also known as the PSP Brite

5. how do i know what region is my PSP?
For this you have to look for the number at the end of the serial code I guess its called at the sticker at the bottom.
It should be something like 100?, 200?, or 300?. Look at the last number. The last number refers to the region it belongs to.
So basically look at the last number and compare it to this.
psp-100X x=region of psp (usa,japan,eur, etc.)
same for psp-200X and psp-300X

PSP-1000-Japan
PSP-1001-US/North America
PSP-1002-Austrila/New Zealand
PSP-1003-UK
PSP-1004-Europe
PSP-1005-Korea
PSP-1006-Hong Kong/Singapore
PSP-1007-Taiwan
PSP-1008-Russia
PSP-1009-China
