Hey guys,
I've been searching everywhere for a legal way to put ScummVM on my psp 3000, so without that custom firmware crap. I don't want to get into trouble by doing it (and its too complicated for me anyways), so is there a way for it to work on official firmware? Thanks in advance.

    Nah, you need custom firmware.

    You wouldn't get in trouble though. They only go after people selling the pirated games sorta thing. You're using it to play games you already own, ScummVM isn't illegal. I have it running on my DS by utilizing a R4 cart, I replayed MI2 on my DS.

    Damn, cause I heard you need version 5.03 to run this thing called ChickHEN or something, and I have 5.50! Any ideas?

    I believe you can reinstall your firmware. I know a friend who reset his PSP, but it depends on what model you use.

    But my impression of PSP's is that you have the custom firmware and all your games on a memory stick. I'm a DS person myself, but only because they're cheap. PSP is a better system but it costs more.

    Nah, that would be known as downgrading your firmware, which involves buying a pandora battery and a magic memory stick, or making one myself, which would result in me permanently mutilating my PSP.

    Well, I don't know how I did it, but I did it! I can now play Monkey Island 1, 2 and 3 successfully on my PSP 3000, without CFW! I'll post some pics soon.

    Without any kind of CFW? I highly doubt that...

    Be my guest to prove me wrong :-)

    3 words: Patapon 2 Demo.

    Although "2" isn't a word...

    But seriously, another exploit? This'll make some people happy :)

    Of course I've already downgraded my PSP back when the very first downgrader came out :p

    Yeah, people will be happy until another update comes out. This exploit goes up to 6.20 from 5.50.

    If it wasn't so overpriced, I'd get myself a PSPgo. It's way sexier than my old PSPbrick. Of course, the absence of a UMD-drive would prevent me to play all my games.

    Get a DS and an R4. No customizing to the hardware needed, whatsoever.

    Hacking the PSP doesn't involve changing the hardware either. It's just software-wise.

    True, but what I meant was, it'll still be the same as when you bought it. The PSP will lose certain abilities, and will have trouble with most new games unless you search the... greyer areas of the internet.

    Hacking the PSP is more of a risk than using a DS and an R4. The R4 is just a cartridge (just like every other game on the DS) with a memory card in it to store the emulators and such. It won't stop you from playing legal games in any way. And it's cheap as hell. I got an R4 pack complete with a 4gb memory card and reader for less than 20 pounds if I remember correctly.

    That's true, of course.

    Well, this exploit is in very early stages, so I don't think I'll be playing the games properly for a while. Curse crashes when the intro music starts, and secret doesn't go any further than the LucasFilm Games logo. Monkey 2 is alright, but I think 'll wait for a proper custom firmware to work on my official one.

    Depending on which CFW you have, you can change a normal battery into a pandora battery and back from the select menu on the main screen.

    Well, now that the more stable exploit for the PSP has come out, I managed to get Monkey 1 to work without crashing, so that's good. I'll try 2 and 3 later, and I might post a few pics and gameplay clips aswell.
    Edit: All MI games work surprisingly well now that Half Byte Loader 101 has been released. Here's a video to show you non-believers out there. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5FDPASP6

    And here are some photos.
