OMG :eek: a magic memory stick isnt a actual memory stick its special files that go on the any psp memory stick in order to boot the psp in to service mode.

To get the pandora battery you need to hard mod it (open it up and modify hardware) and for the magic memory stick you can use your normal one and put the necessary files on it. Search for a guide to get'm both and your set to have custom firmware..

do not do this... find a friend to help you (as in one with a moded psp already), you could even get them and the battery off deal extreme.... don't go opening up the poor little psp. it falls apart so easy as is already, plus it is not eve necessary!

yeah my battery messed up but like 9 months after i opened it it just stopped working

So what should i do?
Cant i just use my 2 gibs memory stick and then use a pandoras battery?

[bah]

Yes you can if you set up the memory card correctly.

But you'd be better off finding a friend with an already 'hacked' PSP that can convert a battery for you without opening it, or buying a pre-modified 'pandora-ised' battery from somewhere cheap like dealextreme.com than hardware modifying your own battery.


Its gig(s) (GB, Gigabyte(s)) not gibs by the way.

Can't you people give him proper advice for once?

You need:
-A hacked PSP
-A PSP Battery
-A MemoryStick.

Good luck.

This will setup the memory card for you and will give you the option to install 3.80 m33
