Because you are on 2.00 the only way to get on CFW is to downgrade your PSP to 1.5 or use pandora battery. Because there is no option to downgrade your PSP from 2.00 staright to 1.5 without pandora battery the easiest way is to upgrade your PSP to 2.71 and follow the instructions here http://www.psp-forum.com/psp-homebre...-tutorial.html

IDK if you guys knew this but, if you are downgrading psp with version 3.50 (which requires lumines) u dont have to have a sertain version of lumines. I downgraded mine with Lumines Greatest Hits edition. While the tutorial i was using said it only works with lumines version ULES00043 the UK one or the ULUS1002 mine was not one of them mine was ULUS10002k or something like that and it still worked.

Ermm I think we already know anyways but thanks for the heads up. I always thought that ALL versions of luminies will work APART from the Japanese version.

I just used the battery creator and the mem stick creator. They both worked fine.

Although the download did not work for me... (Think it might just be my computer) So i had to download the firmware updates seperately. But yeah. Everything worked fine. Now just to downgrade for him

its been months now since I'd been trying to make the PSP of my 7 yr. old son work, and thru this forum I had tried my best to follow all the information and instruction given but honestly I did not suceed. I badly neede your HELP and I am hopeless, I am not good in those technical terms as most of you are already excellent in this field. First, my unit is PSP SLIM and LITE 2002 with 3.95 sony firmware, I need to convert it to custom firmware. I am right? So what we did is make a Pandora battery, we converted a phat battery Sony PSP-110 3.6V 1800 mAH, we had followed the tutorial of Tergazzi. WE had also downloaded the 14749 guide to total newsbieasy installer Pandoras Menu. Just now, we tried to go back again in Tergazzi'z tutorial and start installing the memeory stick, did not WORK. There is only power, but the screen is nothing, totally black. Please, I really need your BIG help on this, I had not succeeded in converting my PSP to CFW.
Thank you very much for all your assistance,

Lisa

where can I get those 3.71 M33 you are all talking about? After I had sucessfully done the 14 steps tutorial of Tergazzi, right? is this the best CFW you could recommend for the PSP slim? If in case the battery which we converted to pandora was not successfully pandorized, what can we do? Can such battery be albe to be use for the slim PSP, as you had said it can go back to normal battery so I can use it again even if we already removed the pin #5? I had read in the previous topic that if the screen appears to be BLACK, meaning the PSP was not bricked, what is the meaning of BRICKED (converted to CFW). If we only have one unit of PSP, you will recommend Tergazzi's tutorial, right? The downloader for memory stick installer cannot be open, help us to do so, a little bit confused because of the girls that I had seen in the site, knowing that we are in the wrong site, megaload.com?
I am begging you KEV and TERGAZZI, we need your expertise. I had already spend lot of money paying bills for my telephone and the server, everytime I open the PSP forum to get some information. Until now, I am not getting the tutorials good.

Thanks in advance. looking forward of your BIG help.

So if you have made the pandoras battery Successfully then you need to get the magic mem stick files and Manually install them... It is easier than it sounds.

I will try and find the video which i used to install them...
