Yeah, I tried v.005 and it's very different, couldn't get it to work which is why I asked if anybody had v0.2.

It doesn't matter anymore though, because I got it to work.

umm, I sorta broke the pin off, it still turns green, but will it affect anything other than turning it back to normal?
instead of soldering, I just broke it with an exacto knife and it worked other than breaking the pin.

I actually did the same thing eurddrue, i knew I wouldn't be trying to put it back together anyways, but besides that everything works just as normal.

nice tutorial!

I had same battery and I also made the hardware hack a year ago.

I have a question, why after opening first time the battery and getting trouble getting the fiddy chip leg, you soldered again the wire after pandorize it?

it can easly be pandora/normal only by adding a small switch to the wire from the pin5 to B- ,
so it can be switched pandora/normal mode by adding only a small switch to the battery plastic case (anyway the switch need be very small, use an old gameboy switch or something small to allow the battery fit perfectly again at the battery hole)

this will help, cause if you dont do this, every time you want pandora, or unpandora the battery, you need open the battery and soldering (there is also a small risk every time you handle the chip leg by soldering, (IÂ´m asking this cause after pandora/unpandora like you did arround 5 times, the chip leg "cracks" out, and I needed to rasp the chip to get access to a small part of the broken leg)

this save you soldering time , prevent from battery crashing,and allow to get a multy function battery only by turning on/off a switch.

(for example: meanwhile you are playing a game or using your psp normally,the pandora mode is off, but a random guy you comes suddenly and ask you for hack his psp for 10$, you only need get your battery, hit the switch to enable pandora mode, and insert your (magic mem stick at his psp) after the process end,you pick up the earned money pandora and magic memstick,you plug again you battery at your psp with normal mode enabled and still playing normally with some extra $$$$

)

PS: popstation rocks!

To kasar:

Well, I didn't have any small switches at the time I made this, so I just connected it directly. I will desolder and resolder at the "terminal B-" and not the pin itself.

nice tutorial, its better than mine..... image wise, and urs is only for phats =(

ill remember what you did with the phat battery to make it normal again, i might need that....

Would a wire connector in the side of the battery connected to that cable work every tiem it is flicked to pandora?

just curious, for next time some idiot asks me to hardmod their *only* battery for them.... lol

Just to let you know, i got my computer in may, and it doesnt have .NET framework on it....

And i dont sue popstation for my PSP games, i use psx2psp i think v1.4...

It still works, its better than ice tea....

ill think ill write a guide for it....

Yes, but I didn't have a small switch handy at that time.

im guessin wal mart might have them, ive read that they have everything, but every time ive been in US i never been in a Wal Mart....

here in perth AU, theres only one dick smith electronics store that actually stocks switches, tactile and normal, and other stuff like that, but i need to travel about a hour or 2 to get there, so if i need anything from there, i fully stock up while im there, and only go back when my supplies are short....

um, but have you tried http://www.mouser.com/ or http://www.radioshack.com/ ?

i havent really looked through the sites, caus i can find anything i want in that dick smith electronics store, or stores that are close to it for otehr stuff....

but it might be more of a use to you or someone else than me....

His guide is to update the PSP to 3.90 M33-(not sure, shows how much i read... =D ), not 4.01 M33-2

if his guide was to update to something other than 3.90 M33, he would have used a differnet version of the program or a different program altogether

If you want 4.01 M33-2 on your PSP so badly, use my guide. ( links in signature )

So stop complaining.

His guide is relevant for the firmware that he is using. Like most people say, the newer the firmware is, its not necessarily better. honestly, 3.71 M33-4 is the safest of the M33 custom firmwares for both phat PSP's and Slim PSP's.

The best for the phat is 3.51 M33-4.

for a cfw with most features, then the newest is the best ( 5.00 M33-4 ) ut not the safest.

So dont complain.

and if your on dialup, i know the crap your goign through with big downloads but, still, dont complain.
