ok im gonna give a shot and try and ake a pandora battery but i need to know can i use any battery to convert to a pandora battery? im thinking of buying one from here http://www.game.co.uk/PSP/Hardware/...r-New-Model-Slim-Lite-Sony-PSP/?s=psp battery the method how im gonna try make it is by this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wxtksFP_CrI&feature=related anyone who has made a pandora battery already plz give some advice thx
I've never seen anyone crack a battery open to convert it to a Pandora battery. I remember my friend used a program to make mines. He just ran the program and the PSP and it changed into a Pandora battery. And I think the OEM psp battery is recommended for this.
^im not sure but this is what almost everyone does in the youtube video.... so im guessing this is the way how to make a pandora battery
you can use any original sony psp battery (psp fat or slim) to make pandora. i did it and it worked :O
^yeh but i dont wanna cut in half my orginal battery in half and then stick it back together.. so i think im better off buying one..
no it depends on how new ur psp battery is. u don't have to cut anything on the old psp batteries. its only with the new psp batteries that u do cos they removed the hack to make the pandora battery. depends how old ur original psp battery is.
just buy one. Unless you had used a whole month's budget on the psp you should be able to afford it. As a note to "k20-k20z"s comment. Yes if the psp is already "hacked" (by using a pandora battery) you can use it to make another pandora batteries (but you need to have/borrow a battery to do that)
i just brought a battery but i cant seem to make it into a pandora battery i think its cos that battery is the new one as well...
i thought it had to be the old fat psp battery to make it into a pandora? that's what i used anyway, and there was some software i found for the psp which basically meant you could swap between pandora battery and regular battery by just running the software, dunno if anyone else has heard of it.
Opening the battery is new to me as well, but I have an old fat PSP which I softmodded a long time ago with the old GTA exploit. Recently I followed this guide to make a Pandora battery which I used to mod other PSPs (including slim PSP): http://the-port.co.uk/forum/forums/t/2385.aspx Once I had the Pandora battery I used this guide to install the latest custom firmware: http://www.gamerstyle.com/forums/psp-tutorials/17289-how-install-4-01m33-then-5-00m33-easy-way.html I used the latest custom firmware from Dark Alex here: http://alek.dark-alex.org/filez/dax/ Btw, I believe the PSP-3000 is not mod-able yet. As for batteries, you might find the latest comments on this old article helpful: http://www.noobz.eu/joomla/news/are-new-sony-batteries-pandora-proof.html As last resort, I guess you can also buy a ready-made Pandora battery.
if u hav a psp that can already run homebrews u can use that to softmod a pandora battery. and then after ur done upgrading firmware change it back to normal battery. (that's how i did mine) if ur firmware upgrade fails and u brick u need a proper pandora battery to fix it. if u dont want to cut up ur battery or anything. dealextreme have premade pandora batteries for $15 lol www.dealextreme.com but the site seems to not be working atm... haven't bought off them before but supposedly they work
yea basically if u have the old psp battery for the fat psp u can use software to mad it into a pandora if ur psp is already modded to homebrew. then u can also switch that psp battery from a normal one to a pandora one of just keep as a pandora for future use incase u want to downgrade ur psp in the future or want to upgrade the homebrew and it goes wrong.
I love DX!! Yeah, the pandora battery from there is 6 to 7 bucks with free shipping and it works like a charm! I've installed CFW on about 5 PSPs with it. You just have to make your magic memory stick and it's good to go. I wouldn't risk your battery since those are pretty pricey to replace (unless you buy from DX which is also very cheap too). Good luck!!-sorc
i wouldn't mess around with the original battery too much and this is the one. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12472 its $7 free postage
I watched the youtube videos and whatnot. Did all my research and ended up cuting the actually battery in the case.....it started smoking >____<. After that I just bought a dantel battery switcher thing. It's so convient =).
well... for making a pandora battery there's basically a hard mod and a soft mod method. Hard mod is your cut up battery to make it a pandora method while softmod is to run a program to turn your batery into a pandora battery. Overall I just decided to buy mine for less of a trouble. DealExtreme has Extreme deals O_O
i just ended up getting this much easier for me to turn it into a pandora battery http://what2play.com/images/psp_service_tool.jpg
