I used my 4 GB and it worked fine with this. So you can use 4 GB and lower up to like 256 mb. :]

PSP Firmware History:

2.71 -> Got PSP modded (Waste Of Money) 3.40 -> Downloaded DAX's 3.40 OE-A -> 1.5 -> 1.53 -> 1.5 -> 1.53 xD -> 1.5 -> 3.40 OE-A -> 1.5 -> 3.52 m33 -> 3.52 m33-2 -> 3.52 m33-3 -> 3.52 m33-4 -> 1.5 -> 3.52 m33-4 -> 1.5 -> 3.71 m33 -> 3.80 m33 ->3.80 m33-3 -> 3.80 m33-5 -> 1.5 -> 3.71 m33 -> 3.71 m33-4 -> 3.80 m33 -> 3.80 m33-5

hey guys,
i know there lots of forums about the pondoras battery out there but i just want to get a clear idea about what i want to do.
i have a cfw psp.
so if i buy a spare battery and memory card, do i create pandoras battery straight from my psp, or i need another psp with it?
also what is the minimum sized memory card i can get away with?
thanks

Yeah, you can create the battery using your psp that has cfw on it...A good size memory stick to have would be a 256MB pro duo-

THE BATTERIES ARE THE SAME!!!! THE BATTERIES ARE THE SAME!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

http://image3.play-asia.com/gallery/large/GA.00074.0021.jpg

Theoretically, if you just put a thick batt into the slim with the latch open, it should work!!!

Also, Play-Asia has spare new batteries too. The only reason I want the slim is for this

Final Fantasy VII Bundle!

I have read that you can use the battery that you are using now in the psp slim, and that sony will be offering replacement battery covers when its released...The new psp's batteries have half of the life than that of the original...The only problem is that it will stick out like a sore thumb with the fat battery....

There are now multiple reports that Pandora's battery does not work on the new PSP Slim & Lite and there is absolutely no response from the MSD. It seems as if Sony has well and truly blocked it in their new firmware v3.6 which will ship on every new PSP Slim & Lite

Yes should be fine as i reconise the numbers as an older model.

It will recovered a bricked psp which has a corrupt firmware on it.

So i put the stuff on it the memory stick and followed each step by step really close. But now when the psp starts it says " Press X to install 3.71 m33" "Press O to install original 3.71" "Press BOX to dump the Nand" and the last option is "Press L+R+START+HOME to restore nand dump phisically( dangerous! ) thats what it says in a dark screen. i have did all of the above and notting has happend and the psp wont start up at all. what am i doing wrong and what do i need to do to fix this problem? do i need a regular battery and memory stick for it to go back to normal or what? can some one PLEASE HELP =[
