* What is a Pandora battery?
A Pandora battery is a PSP battery that has been modified to force a PSP to enter “service mode” when turned on with the modified battery. Putting the PSP into “service mode” allows software to circumvent the PSP’s security measures, and re-write the PSP’s firmware.

Team C+D's Pandora's Battery is the collective name for a Magic Memory Stick and a JigKick Battery. These two can be used to downgrade or unbrick a PSP. A Magic Memory Stick is a converted Memory Stick Pro Duo, while a JigKick Battery is a converted PSP battery. Making them were a complicated process when first introduced to the homebrew community, but since then the process has been simplified with various prepper homebrew.
