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

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
