PSP hacking?

Is the slim version better for emulation?

Any suggestions for Pandora's battery?
 
Besides the aforementioned excellent QJ.net forums, there are some good people and guides here:

AfterDawn PSP forums

and some excellent articles, tutorials and threads here:

PSP-hacks.com forums

and more excellent advice and guides here:

MaxConsole PSP forums

Between these four resources, you should find everything you need to do ANYTHING that can currently be done on/with your PSP... Lots of reading though... :)

Short answer - no, it isn't.

Longer answer - it's actually harder to hack a slim PSP than a fatty. But "harder" is a relative term. Neither is overly difficult. You do get more RAM, but I haven't read anything about this improving emus in any noticable way. Also, the Slim model is more expensive.

The Slim is not better for emulation - per se - but it is better in general. More RAM, TV-Out, Skype pre-installed, and - of course, it's slimmer and lighter. But you also give up the IR port. Which, to my knowledge, no human being ever used. ;)

Either PSP is good. But the Slim is just slightly better overall.

That's not totally true. Actually, you could use the IR port of a fat psp to control your picooz :p

But the Slim is better for some of the emulation in the SNK collections - with both Metal Slug and Arcade Classics collection, the incidence of slowdown and pauses for loading are substantially reduced when playing these UMD games on a Slim.

PSP is unreal. Perfect GBA emulation and really good N64 emulataion. Heh, I only wanted one to play the commercial games but I've spent most of my time playing Advance Wars and Super Mario 64. I hear the SNES emulation is pretty good too, great little handheld :).
