I'm new to the whole cfw business and was looking around the site and.......its pretty confusing. There are a few broken links too (i cant find what posts they were on i have horrible memory). anyways, i have a problem. i recently made a pandora batery, and am now having trouble finding out how to make a magic memory stick. Also, i dont know if my psp is hackable....i had originaly bought a psp 3000 because i wanted to hack it, of course i didnt know they were unhackable, so i traded with a friend for his 2000. The psp is a silver psp 2001, i do not know what ofw it ran when it was produced but it is now running 5.03. can someone help me please, thank you.

Also, i am sure there are many noobs like me looking for answers to these exact questions.

alright, so you have your pandora you are half way there, now you need a mms, put the regular battery inside the silver slim, and then follow the guide in my link to make a mms

thanks for the guide, but how do i know if my psp has a hackable mobo or not?

Geek9 · 03-15-2009, 07:55 PM

the link in my sig, or the one I provided in the guide, also as long as the sticker on your psp says 2001, then its hackable, because all Daxter silver slims are hackable, and the only silver slims are duh dudda duh Daxter slims

hmmm, did you make sure to check the box mspformat in memory stick options?

noitideraey · 03-16-2009, 11:30 PM

that was my problem thank you, also, now when i put my Pandora battery in, do i have to flick the switch to turn the psp on? because when i do, it loads normally, and if i dont, nothing happens, and i know i made the battery right because the cut is in the right place and the battery was a sony 3.6v 1200mAh.

Geek9 · 03-16-2009, 11:30 PM

the pandora should boot the psp automatically put it in and wait if nothing happens, then its not a pandora

noitideraey · 03-16-2009, 11:45 PM

ya nothing happened when i put it in, but i cut it properly.... heres the guide i followed to make it:

well my friend then somehow the pandora making went awry, so I must ask to you to once again open the battery and see where it went wrong, remember if it doesn't boot the psp then its not a pandora

noitideraey · 03-17-2009, 12:13 AM

is it possible its my psp? or that i have 5.03 OFW?

Geek9 · 03-17-2009, 12:24 AM

regardless of the firmware if you psp can be hacked, then you can install cfw no matter what the firmware, and even if it was an unhackable psp the pandora would boot it

i just tried cutting the leg, wasnt too hard, managed it pretty easily, but it still isnt doing anything to the psp....in fact, its almost as if that leg and the line near the 19 on the battery dont do anything to my psp at all, i am sure it is not a 3000, under the battery it says model 2001, and it is silver here is a picture of the battery area. and my battery

here are some pictures of the battery with it's casing.

they arent very good....my camera sucks lol

i dont know if it matters, but it's the battery that came with the psp....
