Not a problem :)

Check consoleshop.com or codejunkies.com for the datel tool battery.
Neither have the fastest service but do deliver.

@EMMAX
Then you might need a card reader to format the memory stick on the pc since psp can't connect to the pc thru usb.
thankyou i will try that then, i dont no why it will not pick it up i think it must have something to do with the settings in psp

ok well the word brick would of helped you out a lot then wouldn't it. your only option is to borrow a psp cuz you can't use this guide with a brick.

I love psobb but i need a credit card # to get back on :(

Will your PSP turn on and boot to XMB? Or will it not turn on at all?

Did you have custom firmware installed before this issue?

@EMMAX

This will work to unbrick your sons PSP but you need a card reader or another PSP to create the Magic Memory Stick.

Then Hardmod the Battery or buy a Datel Tool Battery.

@pspman99

This will install 3.71 M33-2 to your sons official 3.52 PSP with the option to update to newest custom firmware with the ADD ON files.

hi. i just wanna make sure if this works in an official firmware. all the people i asked told me that there is no way to make a magic memory stick and a pandora battery with an ofw. they told me that i should use a fat psp w/ a custom firmware. i want to convert my 3.80 official firmware to a custom firmware. i believe in people brilliant in unbricking or downgrading psps but i just want to be sure because i don't want to brick my new psp slim and lite like what happened to my fat psp. can someone help me please? thanks very much

I used the guide word for word on my Vista Home Premium machine. Everything worked perfectly fine. I don't know what all the talk was about Vista but mine worked fine. I had 3.80 Official Firm ware on a Slim...using the tutorial I got Custom Firmware and upgraded to the new 3.90 M33 and also have two games.

I learned later that the PSP Slim doesn't install the 1.50 Kernal Addon as of yet, but there is a program from noobz.eu i think that allows for 1.50 ported games. it's the Eloader. To be honest though...playing those home brew or emulator games on PSP is kinda pointless. So you don't really need it. Once you get the Custom Firmware it's possible to play the PSP iso or cso games which is what you really need custom firmware for.

Just wanted to tell everyone thanks and also...Know any good sites to get iso or cso files. and another question...If you get UMD rips how do you play those on your PSP...I'm gonna look for a forum on that..haven't checked yet but if you know please post.

@crazybrad
Get the fat if you can - it will work in the slim and fat whereas the slim only works in the slim. That way if someone has a fat you can use it on theirs also.

@ecorder
The rips would more then likely be iso's or cso's so you would just put them in the isp folder to play them.

edit to add: check out pspiso.com

There is a new version out. 3.90 m33
I ran the universal unbricker then updated to 3.80 then to 3.90 with 1.50 kernel.
Once updated my game tomb raider would not run. I ran the unbricker and only upgraded to 3.80m33 but it is still the same. Its only the one game which did work before on 3.80m33. Any ideas?
Ive tried deleting the game and putting it on the mem stick again and even changing iso mode drivers and kernel folders to no avail.

anyone had the same issues? anyone else upgraded to 3.90?

When i say the game doesnt work it loads up, then on the intro screen it freezes and plays the same few seconds in a loop again and again

It works on ANY official firmware for ANY model PSP.

Oh, and I have upgraded to 3.90 M33, and it's worked fine so far, no different from 3.80 M33-5, that I've seen, but I don't have the game you're having trouble with, so I can't tell you anything there. :(

When you connect the psp to the pc by usb mode you will usually get the windows explorer pop up asking what you want windows to do.
At the top it will say 'Removable Disk (E)' What's in parenthesis is the drive letter. In this case it's E.

Or double click on my computer and look under 'Devices With Removable Storage' and find one that has 'removable disc' - double click on it to makes sure it's the psp - it will bring up the folders on the memory stick.
