Getting PSP Hacked in Beijing
July 15, 2007 | Author: C P | Filed under: Beijing, Shopping
Today I got my PSP hacked to allow the running of pirated games. I was running firmware 2.8 so they first downgraded it to 1.5 and then upgraded it to a custom version of 3.4, and then put some games in my card. It took around 15 minutes and I got it for 280 CNY ($40 USD approx.) together with a 2GB high-speed memory card.
The Resurrection
I got a PSP when I was in Sweden. However, after fooling around with homebrew applications I bricked it. I tried all the fixes I found on the net, but none of them worked so I gave up.
Today I was bored and plugged the PSP to the adapter, played around with the power controls, and it suddenly boots. Needless to say, I’m full of joy. 6 months of a dead PSP and it just resurrects out of nowhere.
Directions
If you are in Beijing and want to get your PSP hacked at the same place I did you can follow my directions, although they suck since I took a taxi. Anyway, hail a cab and say you want to go to Honqiao Market. Get off the cab and walk to the left on the large street. After 2 minutes you will see a semi-underground CD shop. That’s where it’s at. While your there, check out Hongqiao market too, it’s a great place to buy stuff like clothes and small consumer electronics.

Woah, nice, I have never heard anyone fixing their bricked PSP by themselves.
Pirated games are sweet
