Hi ive just brought a brand new PSP slim and have been busy tring to work out how to play games from my mem stick. Ive got demos workin fine and ive looked around trying to find out what i do to play ISO & CSO files. Im following the instuctions but no joy im at a complete loss.Also tryed playing some games that have come in PBP file format and it will recognise the game but then says something about copyright not valid. The firmware that came with it from new is 3.72 and ive tryed to upgrade it folling the intructions given and no joy it just aint happening. As im an absoute nugget when it comes to this can some of u clever guys pls help and tell what im doing wrong in simpl terms pls cause some ov the youtube vids ive watched on it twisted my head. Another thing ive read something about a Pandora battery..... whats all that about? Cheers guys

you need 2 use pandoras battery to get cfw on a slim.
if you have a mate with a cfw psp then use this guide
if you dont and are willing 2 hardmod your battery then use this guide

If you have 3.71 offical firmare then you are going to need pandora and a magic memory stick to put custom firmware on your psp. Pandora basically changes your battery so that you can put your psp in service mode. Then the mms has the files you need to put the new firmware on. if you know someone with cfw (custom firmware) then there are programs that they can use to use their existing battery. if you don't know anyone, then you will either have to cut some pins on an existing battery (there are guides on this site) or you will have to purchase a datel tool. which is a battery that is already in service mode. from there go to one of the stickeys at the top of the page like this one to learn how to make the mms go through the entire process. hope this helps



I still play my wii, just not as much. Gave my PSP to my son.

if you know someone with a cfw psp then you can use there psp to change it into a pandoras battery if not the only other options are to hard mod it for free or pay for datel tool battery or you could by one of ebay with a magic mem stick and then convert the battery back and have it as an extra battery (thats if it can be switched back datel cant)

if its less than 4gb (i think it need to be less then 4gb) then all you need to do is use this to make the magic mem stick this guide will help

It's recommended from 256-2gb depending on which installer you use. I recommend a 512. 4gb are not supported. And it doesn't matter sony or sandisk as long as it's not a fake.
