Cracking PSP for video playback

    Hello all, I've a PSP 3000 and was annoyed to find it can't play typical videos that I have built up and ready to watch during by 3 hours of commuting each day when I'm back in college. I'm just looking for a way to crack it to install a media player that'll support .avi's. Conversion would be the other option but converting a GB or so of video every evening would be annoying and for new files it's not really an option first thing in the morning. Being able to play some old ROMs wouldn't be an awful downside either.
    Any help gladly appreciated. :)

    Having another look at this for you this morning, for your model it seems there is only one way to do it - Custom Firmware Enabler 3.70 is the name of the exploit. I have found a clean link for this but can't post it for obvious reasons, but it's out there.

    The custom firmware you want is CFW 5.03, but there are other methods of doing tit too. CHickHEN R2 has cropped up, as a method to install the Prometheus CFW 5.03. The above should get you started though...

    Unfortunately I'm on firmware 6.31 and any downloads I've come across are for 5.something.

    Ah, thats the end of the road then I think. 5.03 or lower only from the guides I've looked at.
