I ordered a PSP-1000 (Core) and a few games to rip graphics from (Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, Dissidia, etc.) and sure enough, the PSP was delivered with the games, but the Memory Stick required to patch the PSP to custom firmware to rip graphics with... did not.
So now I have to wait a few more days. But hey, when it gets here, should be a brief wait until you start seeing some map graphics and other stuff besides battle system goodness. =)
author=WCouillard Update: had a spare memory stick in my digital camera. Formatted, custom firmware applied to PSP, let the graphics ripping marathon begin!
