Remember how you always wanted to watch youtube videos on your PSP ? well now you can . Read on :
For Official firmware users aka (Unhacked PSP's ) :
You can't watch videos live / online via wifi on an offical firmware PSP as PSP doesn't support the newer versions of flash . This tutorial is for watching youtube offline on you offical firmware PSP .
1) Copy the youtube url link you want to download eg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDBVAuFJ7zo
2) Next go to Vixy.net , choose convert to MP4 for ipod/PSP (mpeg4+ACC) and click on start
3) It will take some time and maybe a few tries if the server is full , be patient .
4) The download will begin , once it's done just copy it to the Video folder which should be on the root of your PSP . If the folder is not there create one and drop the file you downloaded in there .
Troubleshooting : Video still now working then go to the root of you psp , make a folder called "mp_root" , then click on mp_root and make a folder called 100MNV01 and drop the video in there.
For Custom Fimrware users / PSPTUBE tutorial :
This part is written by plunk , I personally prefer watching youtube videos on my itouch rather than my psp . But for those of you who like to use your psp to watch videos from youtube , Veoh , Google Video ,RedTube , Dailymotion and other naughty little sites than read plunk's guide :
"As I was sitting thinking about the many directions the psp is headed in the near future, I wanted to show you all a little bit about where the psp is now. It was about 11:00 at night my daughter was in bed, i didn't want to turn the tv up to loud and wake her, so i popped out the psp, opened up a nice little program called psptube, and started watching a movie. Tired of ripping movies and converting them down ? Wish you could stream video ? Psptube is the way to go the newest version support various sites (mentioned above)
The program is very handy as you can simply type in what you are searching for flick through each of the sites and see the results and play them all through psptube. So if you are looking for some laughs or for a good movie to watch you can do a search, or hop onto a site like http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/ (which tells you what servers the different tv shows and movies are running from, so you can see if it is on google video or veoh and such) find a tv show or movie you are looking for from the site and then simply go to psptube and type in either the tv name, movie name, or id.
To install this on your CFW psp download this Link
with this version of psptube all you need to simple do is to place it into your game380 folder or game3xx folder ex. x:/psp/game380/arnookiePSPTube3/ the containing files. where x is your psp root. As simple as that you are up and running. With this newer version i have never needed to install dev id so it really is as simple as just placing the files in the right folder. No browsing through your .cfg files to place your user id in or anything.

Sounds simple enough , and if you need any help plunk can be found on the igizmore chat . Thats it , a few more posts before igizmore closes down . Enjoy !!!

Make Pandora Unbricking Battery Magic memorystick
Lets get started ... A pandora's battery is a special service battery along with the “magic memorystick” that can downgrade and unbrick any psp (even 3.52) . You can now bring your dead (bricked) PSP back to life or downgrade any firmware psp , yes ANY FIRMWARE - 100 % . This amazing breakthrough is all thanks to the Noobz! team which has some of the best PSP hackers . So here’s how to make your normal battery and memorystick into a Pandora battery and magic memorystick . The tutorial looka kinda complicated (I tried my best to simplify it) but hang in there it aint as hard as you think it is . Please follow the instructions carefully.
NOTE :
NOTE TO NEWBIES: you have to make your normal battery into a pandora’s battery via software and stuff not by manually short circuiting it or something
REQUIREMENTS :
1) A spare PSP battery (recommended) , any make will do .
2) A spare memory stick PRO DUO (it has to be PRO DUO)
3) A PSP with Custom firmware ( OE or M33) or a 1.5 PSP. Ask you friends if you don't have oen ,or search for one .
INSTALLATION :
1) Take out the 1.5 or Custom firmware PSP ( OE or M33) and put in the spare memorystick (it has to be pro duo) and spare battery that you wanna modify .
Now if your PC shows C:/ in your CMD copy the address bar and paste it in followed by the letter of your psp drive .
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
IF you PC shows C:\Documents and Setting\Username> copy the address bar and paste it in followed by the letter of your psp drive
C:\Documents and Setting\Username>Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
8) Keep trying till you get this prompt (like mine) :
>>> C:\Documents and Setting\Username>Desktop\PANDORA\mspformat\mspformat.exe I
>>> You are about to format the drive I .
>>> All Data will be lost . Do you want to continue? [Y]
Then you type in y and you will see
>>> Drive successfully formatted, and partition moved.
After that you can close the CMD box
9) Disconnect your psp from the PC and remove the memory card and turn of the PSP , then place the MS (MS=memory stick) back in and turn the PSP on . Then reconnect you PSP to the Pc . NOTE: You have to do this …
10) Now download this pack from here , extract it with WinRar and copy the PSP folder and the UPDATE.PBP to the ROOT of the PSP memory stick . If you you have a 1.5 PSP no problem , If you have Custom Firmware make sure you turn on the 1.5 kernel mode ( to know how see here)
11) Disconnect your PSP . Scroll to GAME and click on “Pandora’s Battery Firm. Installer” it will take a few moments . After its done remove the MS from the PSP turn it off then place it back in and turn the PSP back on again, you HAVE to do this .
12) Connect your PSP to the PC . A Few files and folders will be formed in your ROOT , now copy the msipl.bin from the root to the “msinst Folder” which is inside your extracted Pandora folder . It should look like this
13) Here we go again START >RUN type in CMD . That black box will open again . Now copy the address of the msinst.exe followed by the PSP drive letter followed by the address of the msipl.bin
Now if your PC shows C:/ in your CMD it should be something like this (with reference to PSP’s drive as I)
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msinst.exe I Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msipl.bin
IF you PC shows C:\Documents and Setting\Username> then it will look something like this :
C:\Documents and Settings\username>Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msinst.exe I Desktop\PANDORA\msinst\msipl.bin
If you did it right you will get a prompt like (this promp will differ from PC to PC) :
>>> PSP MS IPL Installer
>>> Load IPL code msipl.bin
>>> 241664 bytes(59 block) readed
>>> Target DRIVE is 1
>>> Check partation Sector
>>> boot status 0x80
>>> start head 0x0B
>>> start sec/cyl 0x0018
>>> partation type 0x06
>>> last head 0x7F
>>> last sec/cyl 0xCFE0
>>> abs sector 0x00000177
>>> ttl sector 0x0003CF689
>>> signature 0xAA55
>>> Check BPB Sector
>>> signature AA55
>>> Check free reserved sector:OK
>>> Write ABS Sector 0x10 to 0x1E7
>>> Are You Sure ?[Y]
Type in Y and you will get
>>> Write MS BOOT CODE
Congrats you now have a Magic Memory stick . Now Disconnect your psp from the PC and remove the memory card and turn of the PSP , then place the MS back in and turn the PSP on .
NOTE : if you get
>>> PSP MS IPL Installer
>>> Load IPL code msipl.bin
>>>Can’t open msipl.bin
The location (address) of the msipl.bin is WRONG (i got this like 100 times until I figured it out just keep trying …)
NOW MAKING THE PANDORA UNBRICKING
14) After you have the magic MS leave it in the PSP then , Turn on your psp and go to Pandora’s battery Creator , make sure you have the spare battery in it . I Recommend backing up so you can make the pandora battery into a normal one press “triangle " first it will back up then go to “Pandora’s battery Creator” again and press X … You normal spare battery is now a … PANDORA UNBRICKING BATTERY … WOO HOO… You did it .
NOTE :when the Pandora’s battery Creator loads and if you get “ERROR at address 0x27” or a similar error you are screwed , you cant turn that battery into a Pandora battery but you can use it as a normal battery . Use another battery and try again . How do I know this ??? coz I got screwed too : P .

iPSP - iphone portal for the PSP
iPSP is something truly awesome ... its (as the title says) an apple iphone portal for your PSP . And best thing is that - you dont need to have a downgraded PSP to use this. Yes this can run on any psp firmware above 2.71 . How cool is that ??? This application is a definite EYE CANDY !!! and it really does look like THE apple iphone (spare the touch screen) .
To use the iPSP portal you need to enable Flash on your PSP . Here’s how to do it :
FOR OFFICAL FIRMWARE USERS :
1) You need a psp with firmware 2.71 or above
2) Go to any place with WiFi – wireless internet ( coffee shops , airports , hotels , malls loads of places have WiFi offered for free ) and turn the WiFi switch on (WiFi switch is found at the left end of the PSP next to the Memory stick port)
3) Next go to “SYSTEM SETTINGS” and “Click on Enable Flash player” follow the instructions – it will connect to net and stuff and enable flash.
FOR CUSTOM FIRMWARE USERS :
1) Go to recovery mode . Don’t know how ? see the video here
2) Next go to “Registry hacks” and click on “Activate Flash player”
3) That’s it your done , you don’t need Wifi or anything to activate it . Back and Exit .
iPSP INSTALLATION :
There is no chance of bricking your psp while installing it so don’t worry :)
1) Download the pack from here
2) Open it with WinRAR , if you don’t have WinRar download it from here . Connect your PSP to the PC via USB .
3) Open the pack with WinRAR and copy the “PSP” folder and “PSP TUNES” folder to the ROOT of the memory stick . IT will ask you whether it can overwrite just click on “YES”.
NOTE: the ROOT of the PSP is not the MP_ROOT it is Removable hardisk (H:\ , I:\ , J:\ etc) – the drive that pops up when you connect your PSP to the PC the place with “PSP” , “MP_ROOT” folders etc .
iPSP USERS GUIDE :
1) To use iPSP go to the “internet browser” (noo you don’t need WiFi this time)
2) Press triangle if you don't get the address bar and stuff . Then go to Tools > Settings >Cache Settings > and make cache size as “DO NOT USE "
3)Then go to the ADDRESS BAR and type in “ file:/PSP/COMMON/ipsp/index.html ” (click on pic below) without the quotes . Bookmark it – saves time .
4) It will ask you if it can play the plugin - choose “YES” and there you go your very own iPSP . Turn your PSP vertically – use the analog stick as a cursor and X for choosing
Now go make your friends jealous . But don’t forget to tell them where you got it from www.igizmore.uni.cc or http://igizmore.blogspot.com :) . Yup , Tell about igizmore to all your friends ;)
NOTE : If you get memory errors just delete your cache .
