The noobz team was working on a PSP unbricker that would restore any bricked PSP’s using the faulty M33 Custom Firmware, however, instead of releasing a unbricker program, they have released the ultimate unbricking tool. Dubbed Pandora’s Battery, the program lets you convert a normal PSP battery into a "jigstick", allowing you to unbrick any PSP.
The unbricker is the culmination of years of behind-the-scenes research and development by some of the top names in PSP hacking, under the name of the Prometheus project. This group of people, from various development teams, was dedicated to developing and releasing PSP hacks and exploits, with the aim of improving the status of PSP homebrew, and making sure that it was kept alive.
All the instructions needed to use the tool are included in the readme file, be sure to pay close attention to any instructions. Here is the process in brief:
- You run a program on a homebrew-enabled PSP that will convert a standard PSP battery into a jigkick battery. Note that you can’t then use that battery normally – so you should use a spare one.
- You run a program to generate the unbricker memory stick image, built from the v1.5 update EBOOT (note that this, and the custom IPL, means the release is completely free of Sony copyright materials).
- You run some programs on a PC to install the image to your memory stick.
Thanks to Sable for the tip.
Clearly this is the biggest bit of homebrew news to hit since….well since homebrew hit the PSP.
if you’re puzzled by the command line knowledge required visit http://forums.qj.net/f-guides-hacks-homebrew-and-emulators-43/t-guide-unbrick-or-downgrade-any-psp-using-the-pandora-battery-118799.html
i think this means that any psp at all will be downgradeable! just brick your psp and then use this!
i hope it all works on the new slim psps, i want the telly function 🙂
