Tips on How to Mod PSP - You Do Not Need a Mod Chip Anymore

April 22, 2010 - PRLog -- The benefits to learning how to mod PSP are endless. You're going to be able to create and play backup copies of games, run games from previous game consoles, run Homebrew games and software, watch movies, and much more. But do you know the best way to mod your PSP? I'll go over the various options below and by the end of this article, you will have learned how to mod PSP.

First off, if you're thinking of doing a hardware modification, I recommend that you think differently. Not only do hardware mods expire your warranty, but they are complicated to install and there's a really high possibility you can brick your PSP if you alter something with the hardware. The last thing I'm sure you want is to have a non-working PSP and no warranty to even get it fixed.

One of the most mentioned techniques to modding a PSP is by using a Pandora Battery and a Magic Memory Stick. This option can work very well, but there's a few problems.

For one, the price of these items can be rather expensive. I've seen them priced for over a hundred dollars from a few of the more popular sites online. Aside from being expensive, it's still rather complex to figure out how to mod PSP with the Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick. It also isn't much of a help that most of the guides I've seen on the web are poorly written and end up leaving you confused.

My opinion on this technique is that if you don't care about spending the extra cash and you're able to figure out how to perform the mod, then go ahead and try it. If you're looking for an easier and cheaper method to mod your PSP, this next method is for you.

The final technique to modding PSP is by utilizing these new files that have recently been created. It's way easier than using the Pandora Battery technique and a lot less expensive too. The way it works is you download the files off this webpage (I'll give you the link in a minute), you put them on a regular memory stick, and then you upload the files into your PSP. Once they are installed, you've successfully figured out how to mod PSP and it only took a few minutes to do. This method is also the most risk-free of the three and there's pretty much no risk at all to messing up your PSP.

The website that you download these files from also comes with a detailed set of instructions that will walk you with the entire process. This way, even the most non-tech savvy user will be able to learn how to mod PSP without any issues.
