[Chotaz]

Ok a friend of mine as a White Phat PSP, with Sony's 3.90 firmware he's looking for a way to crack his PSP in order to play games from teh memory card, where should we start?

Get a pandora's battery + magic memory stick.

I don't know much about PSP, but wasn't that stuff for the slim PSP?

 

[m3rox]

No, it's for either.

I created me a Pandora battery and magic stick... :') and I just got finish moding my cousins days ago and my brother..

So trust me you will need a Pandora battery

 

[Chotaz]

any tuts on how to create a pandora battery?

 

[GBA_Temper]

Yeah man you just have to google (How to create a Pandora Battery)

 

[m3rox]

The thing is, in order to create the magic memory stick, you need access to an already modded PSP.

some people could of had firmware 1.50, which allows homebrew. I bought my psp on ebay with firmware 1.50. At the time I bought my psp, Pandora battery did not exist but custom firmware did.

You can make a pandora by cutting one of the legs on the battery's PCB. And, if I remember correctly, the first PSP hack was a a .TIFF image exploit that downgraded from FW2.0 to 1.5.

EDIT: Change "mod" to "hack".

[PikaPika]

Any old wire should work. I would use a wire from an IDE cable.

 

[Chotaz]

[PikaPika]
