Is Your PSP Hackable?

Below is a simple, to-the-point table detailing what PSP models are hackable and which are not. Links are also provided to help get you started. And if you’re able to fully hack it, make your final step installing the appropriate Custom Firmware… Later browse our collection of PSP Plugins and load ‘em under whatever custom firmware to really extend your PSP’s functionality…

This table assumes you know how to find your PSP model and firmware version.
