I am about to purchase a new PSP with the hope of installing custom firmware and going from there, but I don't know anyone with a PSP at all (much less one with CFW already) so I guess I will be doing this from scratch. I have looked at a bunch of guides and posts but I am still slightly confused about my options here.

Can anyone lay out exactly what I will need to buy to let me create a Pandora's battery (assuming I need that, which looks to be "yes") and set up CFW? I can follow a guide once I get my parts and start rolling, but it is the initial "figure out what you need and buy it" step that is stumping me.

Thanks.

edit: Also, I would prefer not to solder anything or mess with internal parts if I can avoid doing so. I saw this product linked http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/PSP-Battery-Service-Tool__EF000530.aspx in another thread -- is that useful in my situation?

You don't need another psp to do it, you need a pandora's battery and memory stick. I flashed mine to 3.90M33 and now I can play whatever I want ^^ Just buy a tool battery and google UPMS and you're done! There's a guide for it in this section if you don't know what to do.

You'll need a 1gig or more memory stick I believe

Do you think I'm better off getting the Datel Battery or the Battery Service Tool linked above? My understanding is that the latter would allow me to convert/unconvert my existing PSP battery into the "Pandora" battery needed for the CW install process, right? It seems a bit cheaper than the Datel Battery from the places I have looked but I don't want to skimp and regret it later.

hi

I brought the battery service tool and it work perfectly for me. It cheap and it easy to use. I guess it come down to price on the two if nothing else. They both do the job so it up to u.
