PSP-3000: Best overall! Brighter screen, built-in microphone, better WiFi. Perfect for most users.

PSP-2000: Great middle ground. Slimmer than 1000, video output via TV, very reliable.

PSP-1000: Heavier but more "premium" feeling. Some prefer the weight and build quality.

PSP Go: Most portable, but no UMD drive and harder to find games.

Our recommendation: PSP-3000 for best features and compatibility!

Basic Steps:

1. Check your PSP model and current firmware version
2. Download the appropriate CFW (we recommend Infinity 2.0)
3. Copy files to your PSP's memory stick
4. Run the installer from the PSP menu
5. Follow on-screen instructions

✅ It's easier than you think! Takes about 10-15 minutes.

⚠️ Make sure to back up your data first!

Yes! Installing custom firmware on your PSP is perfectly legal. You own the device, and you're allowed to modify it.

However: Downloading pirated games is illegal. We recommend only using homebrew apps and games you legally own.

💡 Think of it like jailbreaking an iPhone - modifying your device is legal, piracy is not.

Very unlikely with modern CFW! Modern custom firmware like Infinity 2.0 is extremely safe.

Safety tips:

• Make sure your PSP is fully charged (or plugged in)
• Don't turn off the PSP during installation
• Follow instructions carefully
• Use reputable sources for CFW files
