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).

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 !

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

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.

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 :merli:

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

Ive been playing Gran Tursimo 2 converted from ps1 :merli:

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.

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

Good stuff, were u able to borrow a mates PSP? Wish I was lucky to do it like that but I couldnt get my hands on a custom PSP.

For peeps who need help check out the after dawn forums 33som posted up!

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.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
