Hello, i just got my psp slim and i heard you can download games onto it. I really have no idea what to do... I know i have to make a magic memory stick, I have an adapter and i think i can do that, But do i really have to cut open my battery and solder something? Other people say i need a cfw enabled psp or i cant do anything. Can someone maybe point me in the right direction or tell me an easier way?
To downgrade (and get a custom firmware) or unbrick your PSP, u need the Pandora's Battery. There is three ways to get the Pandora Battery.
1. Find a someone who has a Custom Firmware that is willing to let you borrow their psp. You will use their psp to softmod the battery. Meaning using software to make the Pandora. If you willing to do this, follow this guide:

2. Hardmod the battery. Meaning that you have to open that battery up, and pulling out a pin. Note that if you pull the wrong one, your battery would be messed. If you are willing to do this, follow this guide

3. The most safest way, is to buy the DATEL tool battery. It is already a premade pandora battery. If so, follow this guide or use the same guide on the second step.
