I was looking at this product: http://cgi.ebay.ie/TOOL-BATTERY-PSP-PSP-...1QQcmdZViewItem

Im just wondering if that Tool battery, since its professionally hard modded, if it can be used to use as a normal battery, like charging the PSP, as also putting PSP in service mode, without physically changing it in anyway?
Also, to put Custom Firmware on a PSP with Official 3.90 firmware, along with that battery all I need is a Magic Memory Card?
One more thing, the memory stick I have says Unknown in the settings on the PSP beside Magic Gate, does that matter, like will it be able to be converted to a Magic Memory Card?

Thanks.

Datel tool battery is not to be used like a normal battery in any way! They only be used for booting a PSP in service mode.

Your memory stick is a fake. You must have a magicgate supported memory stick. After you got one use this guide to downgrade and install CFW.

Is this true, does it HAVE to be magic memory stick as a guy called Dr1ver I think it was said before it might work, as he has a fake 4gb. I have 2 2gb fake ones, will there be a chance they will work. I hope so. Like has anyone ever got fake ones to work.

fakes will work with pandoras battery it just a bit more of a risk involved the risks are

1) slow read/write speed may take a long time to flash the cfw

2) data can become corrupt easily this could make it hard to make the magic mem stick

i have as you said not had a problem with a fake mem stick (but never use it as a magic mem stick as its 4gb so its unsupported) if you have had problems with both of your 2gb mem stick then i wouldn't risk it. if you have had no problems then it ok to go ahead.

theres no difference between fakes and real in the way that it stores data but in the build quality fakes have poor build quality meaning there less likely to work well where as real mem sticks have good build qualtiy and are less likely to go wrong

hope that all helps 0_<

Ive never had a problem with them, and the slow write speeds dont bother me, but does that mean games on the memory stick, hacked ones, will take longer to load, and can they break as in, not be able to hold data after a few weeks/months as I dont want it to break in a few weeks. How long has your fake stick been working for? I have a 2gb, does that matter?

I used to have a fake 2GB, used it for over a year in my PSP, it wasn't all that bad, speeds were slower, though not by much, and to me, games loaded just as quick as a genuine stick.

The only downside (as Dr1ver pointed out) is that data may become corrupt, every few weeks a couple of my saves would become unreadable, which got really annoying, so i bought a genuine 4GB, and you may as well - they're seriously cheap, below £30 probably, it's just not worth saving a couple of quid to get a fake.

I suppose an easy way out of data becoming corrupt is to save it to your pc, say once a week. That would be an easy way out I guess. Is it worth getting a Tool Battery, like do the fake cards mostly work or fail? Do you know?

I tried that too, theres more chance of things becoming corrupt during the transfer than them just staying on the stick, so there's no point. Yes, i'd say it's worth getting a Tool battery, if you don't want to hardmod your own. I've always had CFW (starting at 1.50) and so to make a Pandora i just softmodded mine with the Pandora creator and have no experience with the Tool battery.

Though, they all work in the same way - if a fake memory card works with one Pandora Battery, it will work with all the others.
