Gaming Question about magic memory stick

[luken27]

I'm about to buy PSP Battery service tool from Datel and it turns the battery into a battery that will boot up service mode ( PSP Currently Bricked). I was wondering since its already in service mode and I can put the files on it, then what would I need the magic memory stick for?

Battery Service Tool

You need the memory stick to put the CFW onto the PSP for you.

Once you have finished with the stick, it can be re-formatted, and used as a normal Memory Stick again.

It is required for the process to work, as it works like this IIRC:
1. Pandora's Battery causes the system software to be read off of the Memory Stick
2. System software is read and than using a homebrew program, the new system software is flashed to the flash memory in the PSP

Without the MMS, it will never get past step 1. Don't buy a new MMS, you can make one using your existing one, use it with the Pandora's Battery, and reformat it in 10-15 minutes flat.

Also, you should know that you need a PSP with a CFW to create the MMS.
And I wouldn't suggest you to buy the datel tool. Since you need a hacked PSP to create the MMS, use the same PSP to convert your battery into a pandora. Then reconvert it to a normal one. You'll save 20$

No, you don't. You can download an easy installer that will create a Magic Memory Stick on an un-modded PSP.

What im getting out of this is, I need the magic memory stick in order to flash the firmware onto it. I can make this magic memory stick without a cfw PSP correct? Does it have to be a certain firmware? My PSP is bricked and it was running 2.80 (No cfw) if I boot service mode would I be able to do anything?

Go over to psp-hacks.com ... they will hook you up with the easy installer (doesn't work under Vista, though, only XP or earlier) & tutorials.

The easy installer will un-brick your PSP, too.

Ok I will do that, thanks to all those who helped.

The easy installer said I needed a cfw PSP to use it. Can you give me a link to what you were talking about?
