Hello all people of the PSP forum. Don't come here too often, but I've recently become interested in the PSP, so I've got a few questions.

I've heard that the PSP 2000 features a new motherboard which doesn't allow for compatibility with the Pandora's battery. Is this true? And do they still sell any PSP's at retailers which haven't this upgrade?

I found the Pandora's battery on DealExtreme.com that costs about $6.83. Is this a good version of the Pandora's battery to buy? Do any of them have any differences?
If anyone has bought one of these, can you tell me how they are?

You read the faq that's stickied?
First, only some psp's have a motherboard that doesn't allow the creation of pandora/jigkick batteries. (My Limited Edition Darth Vader does allow but many others dont)
But no one can create one in OFW anyways so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

If you have a friend with CFW have him make you a battery.

use either rains or totalnewbieeasy installer to make magic memory stick then you should be good to go.

Just read the faq. its quite good
