What's happenin'? Wow! This thread as really grown ever since the closure of larrylje's previous PSP modding thread. I haven't posted any replies to questions that users have made in a long time, but I occasionally check it out. I guess one or two can maintain this thread. I would like to increase my post count, but since I've shifted over to XBOX360 I've been putting in work in there.

Keep up the good work! You guys are doing a great job and if help is needed I can pitch in. It can be overwhelming answering repetitive questions page after page. I hope DAX releases a M33 firmware, for no one should upgrade to those GEN CFWs because it lacks compatibility and breaks homebrew.

okay so my Pandora battery came today but when I put it inside the PSP I just get a black screen

I have gone through the creating a magic memory stick process multiple times to make sure that I did not do anything wrong but it will still not work

And I am totally stuck on what I should do

Yeah but I bought this PSP used so I have no way of trying to figure out if it is hackable

It is hard to tell without having another psp that has CFW already on it.

Another option would be to try this guide and see if it works on your psp.

Smokey! I hacked it!!!

Just to be clear, in order to bring up the pandora menu, I had to follow Hercules' ultimate guide to the letter AND, plug the psp into the AC adapter, put in pandora, turn the psp off, then unplug the AC adapter from the PSP, hold down the L button and turn on the PSP with the Pandora in it.

Poof, the menu popped up and I let out a roar of triumph not heard outside of a Jurassic Park movie

Thanks loads though.

BTW< I'm trying to get psptube to work (v2.0)

I have 5.00 m33-6 CFW, the kernel is set to 5.XX and all I get are black screens for all of the sites with a "no videos" message in the top left corner

what is this?

Have you tried using the AC adaptorlike I did? Try the Hercules Guide and the AC adaptor, because I had a similar problem. BTW, are you getting the green power light when you insert the Pandora? That's a good sign

Can someone please confirm that was an old post. Thanks.

TA-088 v2 - This comes out with the 3.90 firmware. This motherboard (like V1) cannot softmod a Pandora battery. Also, this motherboard can only be hacked with the Pandora Battery with the magic memory card installed by the application DC7.GUIDE to install DC7, one must have a custom firmware PSP (either another one or from a friend)

This info came from this thread - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/709168
