READ VERY CAREFULLY
1)Psp 1000 aka phat-all of them are hackable.So dont ask that i have a phat with 5.02 ofw blah blah...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
2)Psp-2000 aka slim and lite aka slim-Older slims are hackable and extremely new slims are hackable too.The psp that were manufactured during late summer and few months later are not hackable.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The ta-88v3 mobos cant be hacked yet but the ta90v1 can be hacked.So the very new psp can be hacked but chances that u get those are LESS..
Following criterias can b considered:
1)The firmware psp came with.
2)Serial code below the battery
3)Box Code and limited edition bundles
4)New box type serial codes
5)DA's TA-88v3 identifier
6)Date code
1)The firmware your psp came with....
If its a 4.01,the chances that u can hack your psp is very low...because sony manufactured ta-88v3 mobo when the 4.01 was their main firmware....
i dont have any idea about what firmware ta-90v1 ships with so if anyone knows plz let me know....

2)The serial code:
Psp-2001 with HU2 most probably has the ta-88v3 mobo.....
I personally dont think this is true .
so its better to overlook it.....
The serial code is located below the battery.

3)The box code and limited edition psp:
(No Letter) = 3.60
A = 3.71
B = Unknown
C = 3.72
D = Unknown
E = 3.80
F = 3.90
G = 3.95 (TA-088v1) / 4.01 (TA-088v2) / 4.01 (TA-088v3)
I got a pic of this from somewhere longtime ago:
