Well I guess about me...

Basically, I am currently in my 5th year of college as an Architecture major and I have one more year to go after that. Love design to death even though it can suck all your energy and life away. I've been a gamer since I can remember. Had an Atari when I was like 4 and been going strong ever since. I love video games for what they are and I'm not big into arguing what system is better than another (unless someone really irks me the wrong way). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But I guess since this is my blog, I will admit that I am diehard Sony fan, tried and true. It doesn't mean that I hate the 360 or Wii or whatever, it just means I prefer my PS3 and PSP. Oh, and I'm also a Socom fanatic. Love the game to death and still play to this day. Confrontation anyone? I also can't forget my SNES. That was the console I truly "grew" up on and love it dearly.

Don't lie, you want it.

I think most people will realize that I'm real easy to get along with. I might have my opinions but if you can respect them then I can respect yours. If everyone on the internet stopped being good for nothing fanboys it would make life so much easier...

The Destructoid community is a fun one to be a part of. Feel free to hit me up, disagree with me, say you hate my opinion, befriend me, or whatever else is on your mind.

Last but not least just remember my favorite quote ever, "I guess if luck wasn't involved, I'd win every one."

Making a PSP Pandora Battery in time for Christmas
NyghtcrawleR \| 1:56 PM on 12.23.2007	8 comments

So I've had a custom PSP for a long time now and decided with Christmas time coming that I would make myself as Pandora battery for my own backup as well as my brother who is getting a PSP for Christmas.

I ran across an article that gives you all the files you need and a very easy guide to follow. So this is for all you who might inquire. As always, the first thing you need to know is a Pandora battery can only be created by a PSP already running custom firmware. There is a way you can hardmod a battery, but I wont get into that. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/573328

Also remember to backup your battery eeprom if you want to turn it back into a normal battery at some point. Dont be like me and back it up then reformat the memory card before copying it to the computer....dumb.

Also this was a random problem I had when I updated to 3.71 m33-4, but my psp wouldnt boot if I had my other memory card in it. After a long time of frustration it turns out it was the plugin folder I had I guess has incompatible plugins and it refused to let the psp boot if the card was in. Also stupid.

I'm also and admin at a psp site so if anyone ever needs help with psp related stuff, I'm your guy.

Shameless Plug: Also look at my Velocity Micro Entry http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/NyghtcrawleR/velocity-micro-giveaway-contest-fury-edition-entry-60984.phtml

Hey thanks man.

I was actually looking for a guide to do this, as I still need to crack my PSP and my friend's slim. The slim can only be done with a Pandora Battery appearently.

Nice yob.

NyghtcrawleR

That would be correct. The slim can only be done with a pandora battery.

But you need different software on the battery for a slim and a fat.

I only have one PSP (slim) so I think I need to buy another battery and desolder pin 5 on a chip... any instructions on how to go this route? I only know which chip to desolder to get the pandora battery but have no clue what to do after that.

StriderS

I wish I could make a Pandora. I'm trying to downgrade via the GTA exploit, but my sister got me a Greatest Hits version. I'd be a jerk to take it.

PANZERDRAKO

i will not change anything, until i can play gba, snes without problemas...

yeh yeh old school gamer...yet..

NyghtcrawleR

Ok I think a few people here arent really that informed.

1. SNES & GBA work basically perfect. There are a few GBA games that dont run but its just a couple and the others that run, run perfect. Same with SNES.

2. You can make a pandora that works for both slim and fat. Not just one or the other. Mine works for both.
