I have a psp-1001 model with firmware 3.95. I was wondering how to get a custom firmware onto my psp as easily as possible.

Next time post in the help section, the HELP section is for people who need help.

You will need a little thing called a pandora's battery and a magic memory stick. You can make both very easily, just check out in the tutorial section plenty of useful info there

Well, unfortunately the only option for you is the Use of a Pandora battery and Magic memory stick combo. There are many tutorials on this site on how to make them, and it isn't too difficult, but it requires a little bit of time. Basically you need a battery, and another PSP capable of homebrew, and a memory stick greater than or equal to 128mb and less than or equal to 1gb. You will use the Homebrew enabled psp to create a special battery, and you will make a memory stick so that when both are placed in your PSP simultaneously, a special screen will Pop up and give you a few options. One will say "Install Custom Firmware ____" another will allow you to install the Official Firmware equivalent. Then you choose the Custom Firmware, it will install and bingo you have it.

heres a link to a good Pandora creation Tutorial. http://www.pspbrew.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9208
