In this era of iPods, hacking your PSP to get a portable media player is pretty pointless.
That said, grab a second hand one and just legitimately play games on it. They are really cheap to buy now, and if this is your first PSP, you have a really good back catalogue of games. You will easily find 5 or 6 games to your taste.

You don't have to hack it to play media, it does that right out of the box. The reason people hack them is for pirated games, emulators, and homebrew games/apps.
Uh... I'm not sure how it is now but back in my day, psp hacking was so you could run games and programs made by third party developers for the psp. It wasn't to make it into a media player.

Oops, I think you are right. My friend had a PSP very early on, and I was blown away when he showed me a movie on it. The screen was so amazing. But I'm pretty sure it used some odd directory naming tricks, like the movie files had to be a specific name, in a specific directory?
I assumed that was part of the hack. Maybe not.
Hopefully its easier now, I guess what I was trying to say is that as a games machine, its great, but as a portable media player (which a lot of people used to use it for) it's been a bit outclassed by the iPod touch line.

Yeah that wasn't a hack, you just have to have them be a certain filename and filetype for the movies to work on the PSP. Thats why there are those media programs for it that put everything in the proper directory for you if you are too lazy to figure it out.
