(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This only works on OFW 5.03 so if you have firmware greater than 5.03 then you are out of luck. :\

I'm pretty bored and well I've seen people having trouble with this, so I decided "Hey why not just write a guide".

I prefer to use 5.03 GEN-C over the cfw enabler, because cfw enabler flashes your settings and 5.03 Gen-C doesn't and I think that's a pain to keep redoing them.

What you need:

A Psp 3000 or a slim with the newer motherboard
A computer

a very nice and detailed guide! couldnt be done better. keep up the good work.

So if i have a Fat, i take the pic from "PHAT". Not from "SLIM", Right?

i wish i could find my fat PSP that hasn't been used in 2 years.

Dam I've only got the very oldest fat psp. And I don't want to get a Pandora Battery.

My PSP just shuts down..

Sometimes you need to try it a 10 times.

m8 i got gen-c now on my psp 2000 slime and i got fifa 11 but it won`t work. Can i get it updated to 5.50 and get gen-d3?
