How to Check PSP Motherboard Model
Lets check your PSP motherboard model. In order to check your PSP motherboard model you need to install ChickHEN R2 on your PSP and then install PSPident on PSP that will identify your PSP motherboard model.

- Download PSP Ident:

(Extract the zip file to your computer) - After loading the ChickHENR2, connect your PSP to your PC in USB Mode. (Memory Stick will appear as a removable drive)
- Copy the PSPIdent folder to the following location on your PSP Memory Stick:
\PSP\GAME

- Now disconnect your PSPĀ and run PSPident 0.4 on your PSP (Game > Memory Stick > PSPident 0.4)
