How to Hack PSP has been a dark art pushed aside by the official warranty claims and company support. Yet learning how to hack PSP is easy, and you need to only carefully follow a few guidelines. The special apparatus needed can be easily made at home, or can be bought readymade from Amazon or Ebay. A modified PSP will open up your access to a whole plethora of newer functionalities that would add tremendously to your gaming and multimedia experience.

Hacking a PSP refers to having a custom firmware installed in your PSP. A company packaged PSP comes with its own firmware that allows it to run applications like games, music and movies on the screen. However, with many technophiles dotting the Internet, there is an entirely new range of PSP firmware developed. These firmwares go the extra mile in providing you with added functionalities like browser, better connectivity with other PSPs and your PC, and modifications while running games and MP3. For example, some PSP hacks can allow you to run MP3 while playing the game, an obvious function missing from the company made firmware. A custom firmware, much like its company counterpart, is regularly updated, scanned for bugs, and given new functionalities. There is one thorn to it however: to get a custom firmware run on your PSP, you will have to do a hardware-cum-software procedure to your PSP. That voids warranty and may even damage the PSP. Therefore, make sure you carry out the procedures under expert guidelines or else may risk breaking your PSP.

You will need a bigger memory card because the one that comes with the package cannot accommodate the program. You can download the hack program on your PC from the Internet at different hack specialist websites frequented by technophiles. This software basically modifies your extra large memory card and makes it capable of running functions other than those specified by the company. The download is a bit slow and you will have to be patient with the procedure.

You will need to unscrew your PSP battery and to disconnect on of the pin that connects the battery to the PSP. You can either purchase a new battery, or one already modified from Ebay, or modify the one that comes with the package.

Before you connected the modified battery, have your PSP with the new memory card connected to your PSP. Now you can run the hack program that you downloaded and installed. Just toggle through the options the program shows: they are very self explanatory. In the menu option select the option four for Universal Unbricker. That would install the necessary files on your PSP memory stick.

Disconnect the PSP, and plug in the modified battery. The rest of the installation proceeds from your PSP screen. Perform the NAND backup, and then choose to install 3.71 M33-2 on the PSP.

There you are done. Once you have done these few simple steps, getting to know how to hack PSP is as easy as that.
