Custom Firmware On Psp

[33SOM]

Hey all, Just got a Psp Slim. It has firmware version 3.95, Im trying to load 4.01 m33-2 but ive been reading guides and all I have find is that I require a Pandara battery mod which doesnt really interest me..

This is my 2nd Psp and I managed in the first to load 3.77m33 without any battery mods. So whats changed?? I forgot how I did the last one...

Any help greatly appreciated!

if your new psp is slim and lite. then you will have some trouble downgrading it. It's mainly because slim and lite can't downgrade to a firmware that is easily flashed.

that's why Pandora Battery is the most eaiest way because it will downgrade and flash it at once.

If you still have your 2nd PSP and that is the fat (version 1) version. then use your battery as a pandora battery.. flash your slim and lite PSP and then turn your battery back into a normal battery again (i've done this plenty of times).

mkay cheers for the reply!!

I will have to do a bit more reading about this pandora mod.

Cheers!

How did you kill your battery??

[Vik]

Lol how did you kill your battery?

I got the PSP when it first came out..

Hooked up with custom firmware.

Lovin' life best investment i ever made.

Currently playing Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and by far the best graphical and cinematic orientated game to grasp the capabilities of the PSP !

I was pulling apart the battery to mod it and well.. I pulled a bit too hard lol.

2 new batterys from ebay on the way

[Vik]

haha are you serious.

Thats a lil bit of bad luck i guess.

But well worth the wait i guess

*continues playing crisis core @ work*

Oh yeah and one more thing.. GTA Vice City Stories is mad at work.. Multiplayer styles!

I still have my orignal japanese PSP with the original V1.50 firmware. never been upgraded or downgraded. can play roms etc. pretty sweet. haven't used it for at least a year though

Beer Baron, wanna sell it? Original Jap PSP = Better Screen

33SOM, once u get the battery sorted the rest is childs play. Dont give up perseverance will pay off!!

BTW: Depending on your method ull prolly have to flash 4.01 M33-1 first then upgrade it with -2, then load the 1.50 kernel add on, and remember if 1.50 homebrew games dont work, try putting them into the 4XX folder.

Just throw me a PM if u need any help.

[33SOM]

Well I bought 2 batterys just incase lol. And now ive broken one I know what not to do next time lol

Thanks all

[33SOM]

Well I managed custom firmware on my slim 3.95 using this guide. Didnt have to modify a battery after all

[ABuSD]

Howd u do it? Borrow another battery?

[33SOM]

U need a Fat Psp with custom firmware to make a pandora battery with a program which is reversable. So I broke my battery for nothing lol

I got a pandora battery. Flashed my PSP slim to m33 and it works beautifully. You can basically download gams and load them onto the memory stick and load them straight off it. Can also run emulator to play arcade games as well. Don't have much time to play with it now thou. If you are in sydney and need a hand unbricking hand, send us a PM.

I have the Phat PSP and tried to work out how to use custom firmware but I didn't get very far

Are there any FAQs or anything like that? Not sure what firmware update I have i'll have a look when I get home.

[33SOM]

Ive been playing Gran Tursimo 2 converted from ps1

BigJimmy there are plenty of guides out there. You just have to google for them.

U dont need a Pandora battery for firmware earlier than 3.40 i believe.

I can do PSP mods for you guys for only $20 if you want.

I have a few pandora batteries that also act as a normal battery for sale.

If you live too far to get to me I can post out the pandora and also a magic memory stick.

To be honest though, once you get a pandora, it is piss easy.
