How to Mod PSP Safely and Without Doing a Hard-Mod

The benefits to learning how to mod PSP are endless. You will be able to make and play backup copies of games, play games from other consoles, run Homebrew games and apps, watch movies, and much more. But do you know the best way to mod your PSP? I'll go over the different options below and by the end of this article you will know exactly how to mod PSP.

Let me first start off by saying that if you're thinking of using a mod chip, I recommend that you don't. Not only do mod chips void your warranty, but they are complicated to install and there's a very good chance you can ruin your PSP if you mess something up with the hardware. The last thing I'm sure you want is to have a bricked PSP and no warranty to even get it repaired.

One of the most common methods to modding a PSP is by using a Pandora Battery and a Magic Memory Stick. This method does work very well, but there are a few problems.

For one, the cost of these items can be pretty expensive. I've seen them go for over $100 from some of the more popular sites online. Along with being expensive, it is still rather complicated to figure out how to mod PSP with the Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick. It also doesn't help that a lot of the guides I've seen online are worthless and end up confusing you more than they help.

My opinion on this technique is that if you don't mind spending the extra money and you're able to figure out how to perform the mod, then go for it. If you want an easier and cheaper way to mod your PSP, this next method is for you.

The final technique to modding PSP is by using these new files that have recently been released. It's much simpler than using the Pandora Battery method and a lot more cost efficient too. The way it works is you download the files off this website (I'll give you the link in a minute), you save them to a regular memory stick, and then you upload the files into your PSP. Once you have them installed, you've successfully learned how to mod PSP and it only took a few minutes to do. This method is also the safest of the three and there's almost no risk at all in ruining your PSP.

The site that you get these files from also comes with a detailed instruction manual that will guide you through the entire process. This way, even the most non-tech savvy user can figure out how to mod PSP without any problems.
