How to Use Your Pandora Battery
We will explain how to use your Pandora battery (also known as Pandora’s battery) in order to unlock / unbrick your PSP and install custom firmware. This only applies to the PSP 1000 (Fat) and PSP 2000 (Slim) models. Remember, some PSP 2000 models will not work this way, please see the “Is My PSP Hackable?” post for further info.
At this point you should already have a Pandora battery and you should have already made a magic memory stick. Remember, there is usually a difference between buying a supposed “magic” memory stick and actually having one that is ready to go. Very few places sell magic memory sticks that have already been made “magic” so odds are you still need to convert yours.
Here are the steps:
1. Insert the magic memory stick into your PSP
2. Insert the Pandora battery into your PSP (Note with the batteries made for Fat and Slim it may not fit perfectly, this is fine, just push it in there).
3. Despertar Cementerio should automatically load, but if for some reason it does not shutdown your PSP and then try turning it on while holding down the L trigger
4. You should now see options on a menu
4. Select to install the M33 custom firmware, or if you want you can select to test it first (NOTE: We suggest you upgrade to the newer better custom firmware which we will mention shortly). If you change your mind about doing this, select shutdown.
5. If you picked the install firmware option, you should see a progress bar. Once the progress bar hits 100%, your PSP should automatically shutdown.
6. Once your PSP has shut down, you can remove the Pandora battery and magic memory stick, and replace them with your normal battery and memory stick.
7. Now you can upgrade to the latest custom firmware, which is called 5.50 GEN-D3. I explain how to do this in this post: How to Upgrade to the Latest PSP Custom Firmware
Why Use a Pandora Battery?
Frankly, your PSP becomes a whole lot more functional in terms of what you can do with it. It’s really that simple. Using a Pandora battery is a very common thing to do and more and more people use one every day. The benefits outweigh the costs, at least for most PSP users. There are forums dedicated to the topic of modifying your PSP with Pandora batteries, downgrading your firmware in order to increase your PSP functionality, and so much more! With a Pandora Battery you can play games on your PSP that you can’t otherwise, you can run programs on your PSP that won’t work otherwise, and you can milk your gadget for all that it’s worth!
But as always, don’t just take our word for it, check out the forums, check out the decently large sized online Pandora Battery industry, read what people are saying! Also, note that you cannot find Pandora batteries on eBay, because for some reason they’ve been banned there. But at any rate, I think you get the idea. There are a lot of people developing their own PSP programs / unlocking software, and they are willing to help you downgrade your firmware for free with their software, at least for the most part, so that’s another great thing about using a Pandora Battery!
Why Use a Magic Memory Stick?
The reasoning for using a magic memory stick is similar to why you should use a pandora battery. I mean really, you need to use both of them together if you want to increase the functionality of your PSP, so they go hand in hand. In fact, the reasoning is basically exactly the same. The magic memory stick allows you to unlock / unbrick / open up your PSP to virtually unlimited possibilities including the use of homemade creations in the PSP hacking community, the use of all sorts of new games, programs, emulators and so much more. It’s just a great way to go!
You might think this all sounds too good to be true, but it isn’t! Hundreds of thousands if not maybe even millions of people have already taken the plunge and freed their PSPs from the confines of the factory default firmware, and you can do the same! If you still aren’t convinced just read up on it some more, do some more searches, check out all the PSP forums dedicated to making PSPs be essentially all they can be with custom firmware.
