I am new to AcidMods (As you can tell by my insanely low post count. >:P), and general PSP modding world...
Anyway, I have two PSP 1k's, and, the screens are broken on both of them (Yey).
One is physically cracked (Wrong screw in the back! D:!), and the other just doesn't work.... Not the backlight.
Anyway again, as I said, I'm new to the whole modding/PSP internals, BUT, I have a good electronics mind... And I was thinking of getting my PSP running on my computer as a separate window, which I have seen many videos for on YouTube... Which require Custom Firmware and such forth. Before someone tells me to search, I did... There isn't really a big, well layed out, easy to follow guide anywhere (Or I failed to find it)? (Why? D:!)
So I'd like (Please. :P) a guide/help on doing that... Because I don't want to brick my only PSPs. :P
As for mods I plan:
- Removal of the UMD drive so that I have internal space
- CFW so I can run PC window of my PSP's screen.
- CFW again, so I can run ISO's off my memory stick (Not getting far in playing MHFU without the UMD drive. :P)
- Port for connecting external controllers: Xbox Controller S, DualShock something (PS1/2 one)
- Maybe some piss easy LED mod, which everyone does cause its easy (And generally boring, and power sucking, and did I say boring?)
- Possible complete revamp of my console (IE, removing the case as it is, and forming a new one for one of my PSPs
- Something I can't think of currently
Obviously the easiest one to carry out there is LED or controller mods, as all that needs it a bit of soldering and wiring, maybe some PIC work depending how I want to go about the controllers (Was thinking of switches for choosing between Analogue sticks and D-Pad for use on either the stick or d-pad on the PSP).
So, anyone got any help to offer with Downgrading my PSP's, they are OFW 6. something or so? Would be greatly appreciated... (As I believe you need to downgrade to 1.5 before installing CFW)
PS: If anyone wants to see what happens when you use the wrong screw, ask, I'll show you the damage to my screen. XD
PPS: Another idea for the PSP > Computer was to take the direct screen output (I have pinout. :P), and convert that into serial or USB, and make a driver, which is a bit advanced for me. :P But meh. XD
Thanks. ^_^
