How to Crack PSP – Use a Mod Chip or Do a Software Modification?

February 26th, 2010 Jim Leave a comment Go to comments

If you want to figure out how to crack PSP, there are really only two ways it can be done. A lot of people think that using mod chips are the only way, but that’s a thing of the past now. There are actually these new applications available that are very simple to use and will crack your PSP without you ever having to open the case. I will briefly discuss both methods below.

Most people are familiar with how a mod chip works, but they don’t really consider the negative side of it. Whenever you crack open the case of your PSP, or any gaming system for that matter, you instantly void the warranty. In order to install a mod chip, the case needs to be opened meaning you no longer have a warranty on your PSP. Now you might not think that’s such a big deal, but consider the fact that it’s not uncommon to have something go wrong when you mess with the hardware in a gaming system. You could potentially brick the PSP making it not even turn on anymore. With a broken PSP and no warranty, you’re gonna have to go to the store and buy a new one.

Hardware modifications are also pretty complex and the average gamer isn’t able to figure it out. This means that you either have a higher chance of ruining something if you try to do it yourself, or you have to find someone else that knows how to mod and pay them to do it for you.

Doing a software modification on the other hand is way easier and will not void your warranty at all. It’s as simple as downloading the proper application and files, saving them to a memory stick, and uploading them into your PSP. Even if for some reason something goes wrong, you can easily uninstall the files and start over. Do you see why I highly recommend going with a softmod over a mod chip when you’re cracking your PSP?

So now that you’re more educated on the benefits to a softmod and why I think mod chips should never be used, I think you will be able to make the right decision on how to crack your PSP.
