Hi everyone. I'm very new to homebrew and PSPs, but I'm not a total technological idiot.
That said, I've got a fat (I assume this means the thick black one.
) PSP running 4.05 as its system software. It wasn't until I upgraded it unwittingly while playing a newly purchased game.
That said.
I successfully pried open my battery to soft it into a Pandora battery, however I HAVE NOT cut the fifth pin yet because I discovered on http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?t=3780 that thread, a Pandora converter for the battery.
I was vaguely annoyed that I spent 3 hours delicately sawing away at my battery with an exacto knife (praying I didn't contact anything) and prying at it with guitar picks and wooden double-pointed knitting needles. I have PSP-101 battery, and it was... very tightly sealed. I can't get the top case back on, but I'm not too concerned about that right now.
Am I mistaken in believing that I do NOT, indeed, need to cut the 1C04 fifth pin to use my current battery as a Pandora battery?
The software will not let me install an update that is of a lower number than the current update (hope that makes sense) - when I have tried to use homebrew firmware to downgrade into a lower OS, it gives me the error message, "The game could not be started. (80020148)" When I tried to install the Pandora converter for my battery to make the re-partitioned memory stick, it gave me the same message.
In essence, everything I've put on this thing so far -has not worked- at all.
What am I doing wrong? Please don't link me to more forums, I'm tired of reading forums, as I've been doing since 3am this morning. It's now 8am central. I'd like a clearcut series of directions to follow... well, if that involves a link, please tell me which part of it to follow, because this is getting a little tiresome.
Thanks in advance, sorry for the churlishness, haven't slept yet.
