When you can't beat 'em, change 'em. Some hackers from the Philippines did something ludicrous with their PSP-3000, switching its CPU with the PSP Slim's. The result is that the PSP Brite/Slim hybrid is able to run homebrew that's compatible with the Slim.
The drawback is that the old CPU doesn't seem to be able to support the PSP-3000's screen, so the hacker, Royginald, had to use a PC monitor. It kinda defeats the purpose of the PSP Brite since it's selling point is the screen (despite all the "features" it comes along with), but at least he got it to work. One explanation Royginald offered for the LDC screen not working was that the pinouts for the different models are different. Note that sound doesn't work either. The system was updated to CFW 5.00 M33 before he started taking the hardware apart. Here are the vids to see how Royginald did it, in chronological order: Royginald explains his reasons for doing the hack in his forum post (semi-translated):
And some theories he proposed for the LCD not working:
It'll install the files needed for the display "issue", read the entire nand(for backup)...find ways to run DC7 at XMB,(PSP3k is pandora battery-proof)...Or if DA can read the entire nand of PSP3kCPU then write it on my PSP2kCPU ..patch some files for the M33.

Wow *****ing hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PSP 3000 has been hacked!!!!!! NICE DONE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just checked QJ and no news, I accidentally pressed something and then used the page back button, and suddenly I saw this article added!!! So actually I got the article 5 secs after it was released! :D

» SECOND!
i got here 13 mins and 5 seconds later!
this isn't a very practical hack...there isn't a software way to make the psp slim cpu compatible with the brite cpu, so this is useless for anyone who wants to see stuff on their psp screen...
Does the mic work though?

0okm did it from the beginning. Originally he did it to flash fresh firmware if he bricked while testing his hacks.

when TA-082 exploit was first relised
0okm said he had it
but would not publicly release
why
because he hard madded TA-082's
to release the hack would mean a big revenue loss (if he had such a hack to start with)
0okm is a business man
DAX pretty much ruined him
i remember comtemplating sending away for a 0okm hack when i got my 2.81 TA-082 PSP
endeed up getting 2nd hand TA-079 plus hacking the old 082 later when DAX released the idstorage hack for TA-082 downgrading
ahh the good old days
now i have the old phats and two 2000 models (one TA-088v3)
pandora is the key
what is the new trigger?

i mean its cool that they did it, but this is a mod, not a hack. we need pandora on the psp3000! or maybe we could do it the old fashioned way and find a firmware exploit... that would be nice.

» dumbass satanicdoggy
he is hard hacking the psp-3000 so he can find answers why the psp is unhackable by software mode (pandora etc). just like the previous hackers, alex and all the great psp hackers, they have disassembled and destroyed lots of psp's to know the internal workings of the hardware, which will equate to softwares hacks being developed. this hacking step is not usually seen by stupid people like you who only know the final output which are customs firmwares and homebrews.
just like people with common sense know, this step can enable knowledgeable hackers to read the data on the cpu/rom and create the necessary software hack. and kudos to the hacker because not anyone can remove a CPU chip hard soldered unto a board. great soldering skills.
this hacked doesnt mean you have to do it too dummy.

You idiot dont you see that they can now get all files decryped from cpu they can hack the new psp since the whole hardware is hacked (this is the proof)
psp 3000 is fully hacked, but it has a diffrent CPU (cpu/flash is on the same chip) and if you change the chip you have a hacked psp 3000. All they need is to find the protection in the new chip

hmm, this is pretty sweet! i feel silly for saying this but i had no idea that the flash of the psp was ON the cpu :) i thought it was a completely separate chip which is why i was super confused when dax said that it was the new CPU that was the problem. Hey, this is a big step in the right direction though, all they gotta decrypt the screen files and find those random bits of data dax was looking for in pandora and we're set!

the NAND is not on the CPU
the CPU checks any attempts of NAND access to see if its digitally signed
the new psp-3000's have advanced digital sig checking
plus the trigger for pandora seems to have changed (i strongly believe pandora still works with a different trigger)
the 3000 will not be hacked until they get a full look at all aspects of the board (alot of which is protected via encryption)

The CPU and flash are on the same chip so it would just load the firmware that was originally on the PSP 3k

not what hes saying. hes saying install m33 on the 3000 cpu using the 2000.
ide assume it would work like the 2000 one already in there ie no screen because the ipl put in there will be from the psp 2000 so no driver for the 3000 screen

You can't do that. There is no way to use the PSP2000 CPU to install anything onto the PSP3000 flash. They're the same chip.
The anti-pandora protection is *in the CPU*.

» yes
i meant use the 2000 cpu to install cfw then put the 3000 cpu back in. There must only be partial flash on the cpu chip or else when they replaced it, there would be no flash to install cfw to. My question is, if you put the 3000 cpu back in while the psp now has cfw, could you use the cfw to access the 3000 cpu chip and hack it or whatever?

wag ka na mag post dito.
nakakahiya kang bisaya ka.
wala ka alam, wag ka mag dunong dunungan.
libre lang ang pag hack ng psp fat at slim kung marunong ka lang magbasa at sumunod sa instructions. at tanga ka, hindi pa nga nahahack ang psp 3000.
in english, dear papajag,
you are an idiot. you should be ashamed of yourself. this is an international site so you must use english and not your native language that most people dont understand.
you know nothing about psp so dont post garbage advertisement. we do not pay 20 dollars for hacking our psp to custom firmwares, we can do it ourselves. and no they still cannot install custom firmware on psp-3000 dummy. and paying 5 dollars for a copy of psp iso-cso games on your memstick is absurd. buy the umd lol

It sounds like they managed to get it hacked at the expense of the "Portable" in "PlayStation Portable"! I'm just kidding. I'm glad people are still working on hacks, experimenting and releasing their knowledge to the public. None of this not releasing source or how-to crap. When a person releases a hack that they (or their team) have found themselves to the public and explain how they do it or supply relevant information, it helps the community as a whole. They risk losing their work, losing their credit, and possibly even getting in trouble. Those risks alone are worth being admired for.
Good job guys =) You make me proud to be Filipino haha, every time I go to the Philippines and look at the prices of games and consoles I want to puke. So kudos to you for even buying one PSP (let alone at least two to do the swap)!

Maybe if the new CPU cannot be hacked, they should bring the 2000 chip to CHINA, and there they should make replica/generic CHIP that you can replace with the PSP3k chip to hack it.
But im not sure if these chinese people are smart enough to copy this chip. And yes, it is a hack because just like the NINENDO WII and XBOX 360 and other consoles, you are going to take apart your device and solder a new chip in it.
