WOW, Who cares about the slim release now. Simply WOW!

 

[Cheezeball99]

hmy: So what does this mean? Extra battery FTW? Can you downgrade firmwares with this?

 

[Acerthief]

Another Big Day in the PSP Scene.XD
YEAH!
Wait even the battery included when buying the PSP works as well?

 

[canadajames]

It basically means no more need for downgraders or anything of the like the psp is totally unlocked..... Which while being amazing and I'm almost certainly gonna make one of these incase of something in the future all I have to say is..... now what. p.s. Now I might have to get a slim / = conflicted

 

[supaquickt]

Yes, I better keep my pants on. Does this have to use an Official Sony battery, and will any memstick work (I'm talking Sony or Sandisk, not original or fake)? Now I gotta go brick a PSP haha

Any PSP battery will work. Yes it means all current firmwares can be downgraded as well.

Oh jeez. Well, heh, I should start buying some bricked PSP's on eBay then, eh? :biggrin:

 

[supaquickt]

Oh, so PSP slim can be downgraded to :O Or I'm I on another planet.

Possibly. They use a different battery than the regular units though so it is too early to tell yet.

 

[canadajames]

Just looked at some video and the psp slim does use a different battery but the older battery is also compatible found it on some video banner posted in psp general i thnk check it if you want.

I read the read me and came across this in "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.
What does this mean? You can't go to custom firmware or what?

 

[shadowthor]

just curious, if i use my spare 4gb would that be okay? PLus the battery can be converted back?

 

[Tenshigami]

It says anything less than a 4GB will do. Probably because 1.50 doesn't support 4GB memory stick pro duos. Also Memory Stick Duos (e.g. 32MB) aren't supported. Just the PRO Duos.

sooo, everything was coming from the underground.. a top secret group.. man that sounds like a movie or something haha

Well my friend did it and he was able to run the kxploit patcher then flash 3.52 M33. So there shouldn't be any problems. Maybe that means like theme flashers and whatnot.

I'd like to see what sony's reaction will be to this.

 

[supaquickt]

From DAX on maxconsole:

That refers to the memory stick recovery firmware (developers could replace some of the files of recovery firmware to exeucte their applications, and we just warn them that the subset of prx's for the recovery firmware is limited). But the one flashed back is a full 1.50, so you can install whatever cfw later.

 

[Ecko]

Battery can't be converted back *me thinks*.

- A PSP with a Custom Firmware such as OE, M33 or WC, or a PSP with
the 1.5 original kernel.

Let me get this straight - you need a unbricked PSP to generate files for the "Pandora's battery" which will then turn a regular battery in the jigkick battery? Is that right?

Then you simply put in the battery into the bricked PSP and the menu should come up? Is that right?

One more thing... Under notes and restrictions... it says "The IDStorage cannot be totally restored, as there is no known way to regenerate it properly."

^^^
What does that mean? What is IDStorage for those of us who don't know what that is?

IDS is the part that stores things like your MAC address and some other hardware specific info.
