The Super PSP Thread

Ok I just tried it out, but, unfortunately, you still need to convert videos to fit the screen size of the psp. I ran a few formats and none of them worked. Oh well...
Thanks for checking up anyways!

BTW I found an exceptional homebrew for backing up your umd's to your pc. It's called: USB SSS (USB Special System Storage) If anyone wants it, I'll upload it. I could point you to the forum I got it from, but.... you know what I mean...
 
hey there i need some assistance, i bought a new game and was trying to update the software, called a wab version changer, and i ended up "bricking" the psp, please could you guys advise me on what i should do from here?:confused:

any help would be greatly appreciated guys:)
 
hey there

no worries, i youtubed it and i got this really smart kid giving me step by step instructions on how to fix the problem, i ended up downgrading the version to 1.5 then changed it again and hey presto, my loco roco finally works:D
 
well I am selling my PSP if anyone is interested, you can PM me:

I wanna sell it for R1300, that would then include:

PSP with firmware 3.40OE-A
Sony 32MB Memory Stick PRO Duo
Sony 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo
HardCover Logitech Case
Wrist Strap
Normal 3 pronged Charger
Car Charger
The soft cover that comes with the PSP
Need For Speed Most Wanted 5-1-0 (original UMD)

I am negotiable (I know I prob should put this in classifieds, but what better place than the people who love the PSP's).

Reason for selling is that I just never use it :( Its really wasting away.

The unit has 2 "hot pixels" (they are not dead pixels, cos they are white, not black). You notice it on black loading screens etc, but not ingame.

If this is against the forum rules, I will delete this post. I just want to ask the people who might know of someone who was interested :) (no harm intended)

yes, make up a crappy story.
but i think you have to take it to ICCS or a company like that who do sony warranty's. unless HC do their own warranty's
 
Good news people (especially those of you with bricked PSPs or those that are not downgradable by normal means)

PANDORA'S BATTERY
=================

A universal PSP unbricker/downgrader by the Prometheus project, also
known as Team C+D.

REQUIREMENTS
- A spare PSP Battery. Any make will do. Using a spare is best, as it
will not be possible to boot the PSP in its normal state with the
modified battery.
- A spare Memory Stick Pro Duo of less than 4Gb. (256Mb should be
enough for all applications).
- A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with
the 1.5 original kernel.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Connect the PSP to the PC with the Memory Stick inside via the USB
Connection.
- Format the Memory Stick using any utility.
- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Manually create the PSP/GAME (optionally PSP/GAME150) folders on the
Memory Stick.
- Copy the "battery" and "installer" programs to the PSP/GAME
(optionally PSP/GAME150) folder.
- Copy the 1.50 official updater as UPDATE.PBP to the root of the
Memory Stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Run "installer" through the firmware on the PSP. This application
will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick, as
well as msipl.bin.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msipl" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Execute "battery" application on the PSP to modify the battery.
- Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
and a "JigKick Battery".

USAGE
- Insert Memory Stick into the PSP
- Remove power cord and insert the JigKick Battery into the PSP.
- A menu appears when the PSP boots. Follow the onscreen information
and instructions.

NOTES AND RESTRICTIONS
- The firmware in the Memory Stick is not a full 1.50, but a minimal
subset. Therefore, not all applications (such as flashers, or
recovery apps) will load.
- Only Memory Stick Pro Duo are compatible. Memory Stick Duo
(e.g. 32MB sticks) are not supported.
- The IDStorage cannot be totally restored, as there is no known way
to regenerate it properly.
- It is strongly RECOMMENDED to make a flash dump of the PSP before
any downgrading operation.
- There might be a BSOD at the end of the downgrade. This is normal,
and happens on the standard downgraders.
- All hardware revisions known at this day are supported.
- This release contains no Sony-copyrighted material. All required
Sony data is generated from the v1.50 update files.

Firstly only a semi brick can be repaired.With custom fw this is possible.A full brick can not be fixed.Only by means of a modchip can a full brick be fixed.I Dont suggest anxone try this fix
 
*sigh* Did you even bother reading the linked website? Or are you basing your opinion on the fact that you fancy yourself an expert on the subject of PSP hacking?
Now, you have a battery/memory stick pair that works just like the famous jigkick combination (but better) - just insert them into any PSP (even a brick) and the PSP will be reinstalled with the v1.5 firmware. As far as we know, this will continue to work for all future firmwares.

The software modifies the battery and loads an image onto the mem stick. Every wondered what the extra pin on your PSP battery is for? Yes...This is the EXACT same way that Sony fixes full bricks

1) Try to avoid making baseless claims next time. I'm sure the creators of the downgraders/custom firmwares who were involved in this project know a little more than you do.
2) If your PSP is already bricked...what risk do you foresee in using it?
