KickStart product features similar to Pandora's Battery? |
Ó
Word recently made its way to the QJ offices about an upcoming product called the KickStart from Solar Loyal Technologies. This item is said to allow users to launch homebrew, install custom firmware, or even downgrade a PSP's firmware. KickStart's package is said to include a "special" battery as well as a memory stick. Rumor has it that the battery included in the product is an earlier leaked version of Pandora's Battery, though this has yet to be confirmed.
For those who haven't heard of Pandora's Battery, it was a collective effort by the Noobz team and C+D which unbricks any PSPs (makes them functional again). The process can be done with a spare battery and the information you can find in this article.
KickStart will be hitting the marketplace soon for an ESRP of US$ 60. Please note, however, that everything this product can reportedly do (i.e. loading homebrews, installing custom firmware, as well as downgrading PSPs) can be done without opening your PSP for free if you're a practicing member of the homebrew scene.

i think this batt is a copy of the pandora .
how come this gets realeased days after the pandora
it has to be a copy of the pandora.
i wish the noobz team waited till the slim psp was out
sony is going to make changes now
i think it's only good for people without a homebrew psp and want to downgrade/unbrick
what sore loser making money of other peoples hard work.
Knew that was coming... man thats a damn rip off, in more ways then one.
Dunno what to say... it's a normal battery & Memory Stick with "KickStart" stickers on. Made me chuckle though.
isn't cheaper to buy a battery and a memory stick.
by the way there is a way to revert the jigkik battery back to normal working order.

i think that this would be a waste of money
didnt they have the same pandoras battery in japanese first?
I believe i saw the video
it would be a shame to spend your hard earned money on this. these people do no deserve to make a dime off of team n00bz. Boycott these products!
LOMG teh sexy logo is so tempting, i'm going to buy one.
/me purchases...
If this battery works like a normal battery too, then it MIGHT be worth the purchase
"i wish the noobz team waited till the slim psp was out

noobz was forces becuase it was leaked and people was selling for it so noobz release it for free so for the ppl that bought it got rip off
Its very good to someone sell this "magic" bettery and stick if the guy dont have another psp and a friends psp to create one

Awareness of this product is one of the things that forced our hand on early release of Pandora.
If you buy this product, you are directly supporting the theft of the code, and supporting the endangerment of homebrew on the PSP slim.
Fanjita, the Pandora does not work on a PSP Slim. This was a model sent to a magazine prior to the release of Pandora.
This Company is so gay!! Stealing Noobz hard work to make their own pandoras batteries, and then they slap on a sticker and claim its their own original product! I could have easliy done the same thing! Boycott this! Its cheaper to make a pandora battery yourself! And I have heard that u can change a pandora battery back to normal. Noobz should sue this company.
Dark_Alex posted in MaxConsole's forum that this "product" *was* the cause of the rushed release of Pandora's Battery... and he asked to NOT SUPPORT it!! They don't have 100% proves yet, but they will know as soon the KickStart product is released due the leaked version of Pandora's Battery has signed code.
Come on QJ!!!
You didn't understant that this is Maxconsole's invention?!!
THIS IS FAKE!
Kickstart DOES NOT exist, nor Solar Loyal Technologies... Google them and you'll understand... It's just an invention to get more traffic...

Y'all welcome
Description said it all.
Just wait, Sony will file a lawsuit on this product. Don't buy it!
Ya'll are dissing this before we know much about it.
It could be that it's not a rip off of the pandora or that it's an advancement of the same hack. If it will allow execution of homebrew on a non Custom Firmware then I say it would be most interesting. Say you have a PSP Slim that so call can't be hacked yet and you use this to play HB on it without hacking out the FW this would be the next best option. Not that I support ripping of Noobs! project but if it is infact an improvement on the project it's much like a patent in the sense that once improved is no longer the same patent and can be re-patented. I'm all for Noobs! getting due credit for their work but if this is something completely different then I see no negitive reason why it couldn't further help the HB community.
MaxConsole had the story five days ago, but yeah, that's all this is.
Look above. This product is the reason for the rushed Pandora release.
yes you run an app on your PSP that reverts it i think.
These guys are @5s h0les. And deserve to die.
i hate people who rip off others
Sorry if this offends you, but this looks fake. I can not find any information about that company or the battery on ANY search engine and all i can find are on psp news sites like QJ. I DO hope this is fake. If it is real, the company will be sued by sony and can be by C+D and it will be nearly impossible to buy.
It is definately photoshopped.
my mother is a professional graphic designer and she knows what is real and what is fake. a few reasons why both her and i think this is fake is that the battery is curved slightly, and the text is PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. there would be a slight bend in the text that would be visable if it was real. even zoomed in at 800%, it is perfectly straight. Also, google for "Solar Loyal Technologies" with the quotes. all you get is a few psp sites and no official site. also, you cant find anywhere to pre-order this or any information about the product, so where would the people who found this have seen it?
first of all, my mother, a professional graphic designer thinks its fake. just look at it zoomed in at 800%. The text is PERFECTLY STRAIGHT when the battery is slightly bent. Secondly, google for that company with quotes around it. you get NO official website, only 4 psp websites.

I'm Gonna laugh when sony patches it so now theyre product will be worth Jacksht!
Can you spell lawsuit?
to make these work you need to distrubute copyrighted sony files. Illegal much?
Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link,
http://easydough.notlong.com
you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products. Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate, I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from \"KNGSIDE MEDIA\" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true, but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day) You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS. Think it\'s a scam? Read this(from the website) \"We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so. Most of the time you\'re asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!\" There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

just as the ebay sellers were doing with Pandora's Battery, this is simply "homebrew for dummies"
some are not dummies, they are just too lazy to do the research!!!
LOL! One more lie!
Find me the seller webpage!
You know who's right? Me and Nicko01!!
» Do not buy this
