More info and video on the "magical memstick and battery" for the PSP |
Listed in: Homebrew Development, Videos Tags: China, memory stick, psp homebrews
Ó
Just like the earlier video we shared with you, this one seems to originate from China as well. And again, just like the first video, it seems that these folks are not so keen on sharing their secrets as a good deal of effort was spent to hide the memory stick and the battery from view.
Based from a rough translation, we learned that this magical memory stick is able to do its trick because it's acting like a bootable disc for the PSP. The previously mentioned third pin in the battery will prevent the unit from reading any firmware data and redirect it to the memory stick. This, then, puts the PSP in a state known as "Factory Mode".
If you are wondering why firmware 2.71, take note that this is the lowest fimrware that motherboard TA-086 supports. Despite the fact that the PSP has been placed under "Factory Mode", it is still running on an un-patched motherboard.

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 April, 412$ in May, and 271$ (SO FAR) in June. You get paid in real checks from "KINGSIDE 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!

In my honest opinion, I think that this whole thing is just a FAKE. And if it is real. Why on earth would it be so classified to the rest of the world.
Let me put it this way. IF THE CHINESE *DOES HAVE THIS TECHNOLOGY, IM 1,000,000,000% SURE THAT SOME MONEY GREEDY STOOGE WOULD'VED NICKED IT AND SOLD IT TO SOMEBODY. As everything else that carries the words "made in china" has.
Plus I AM MORE than content to the recent release of FANJITA's crew (+w/ DA, booster, Mal, etc...) of the NEW FW1.50-3.50 to 1.50 Downgrader.
It's this kind of BREAK THROUGH that EXITES the world/community. Not a whole bunch of cheap RETARTED vids that prooves nothing but BS or lame theories that makes the vounrible ppls that require/interested (educational porp, etc..) hope that this thing does exist.
The bottom line is, IF IT IS TRUE, THEN SHOW IT AND RELEASE THE SCHEMATICS OF THE HARDWARE. There's nothing to loose. If it does exist. I'm certain that it's only a matter of time it would be release.
IF NOT, Then I'm sure the whole world would appeciate it if this kind of nonesense would end.
In my studies/experience with the files. It is nothing but a hoax. 1 or perhaps 2 of the files are GENUINE. And IM SURE MANY MORE that have taken the liberty of examining the files would agree with me that they are trash that is poorly compiled and executed. And those files are USELESS unless your willing to unscramble the encryption thats been put on. Which even if you do manage to, it would be futile due to it would have been intentionally written to work PROPERLY with its companion "jigkick" hw.
So if anybody out there is STILL not convinced that this is USELESS. Then as yourself this. WHAT POSSIBLE reason would this have to YOU (besides selfish or absurd)?
Even if it is REAL, how long do you think something like this would stay secret and it would be a joke to think if you or others would even contemplate that this would bring financial compensation.
I rest my case...

No offense but Chinese are a money driven society.
Almost all of their natural/technological/etc resource have been sold to the world.
If Chinese are smart then I think it would've been smarter to release a video that actually shows how this thing works, not another web of lie that makes poor people think their broken psp has any hope (besides SONY itself).
btw, all countries have repair/mod services.
I've been to HK, it was nice. But most materialistic items were either a replica or a dangerously under budgeted of poor materials that compiled the end product.
I would just like to point out that I'm Asian too, but like any other person. It is my opinion that Chinese has never held back anything (technological) to the world. So why start with this little battery?
PS: ASIA ROCKS!
btw, my girlfriend is Chinese and she totally agrees with me.

this is bull and i feel sorry for the poor bastards who looked at this video again and again hoping to get something out of it.

I reset the battery back to normal and it functioned correctly again.
I'm not sure if I messed something up, or if somethign else should of been done, but from what I did I got no results.

Take a closer look at your battery and you will realize that it will connect to all three. Plus, how the hell did they know? last i heard is that they got it from sony. WHY THE HELL WOULD SONY GIVE THEM SOMETHING THAT WILL DOWNGRADE?! ESPECIALLY TO A FIRMWARE THAT ALLOWS A CF AND DOWNGRADES?!

And besides common sense would show only two connections need ot be made. one positive one negative. what could the third conenction be? neutral?
don't think so.
so please. just don't comment on stuff your oblivious to.

1=why the hell those the battery has like 4 buttons?
if they never press one on the "Downgrading videos"...
2=why is the LCD on the battery if they never flipped the PSP
to c the battery LCD for some sort of menu or stuff,
and they always place the battery for like 3 seconds to turn the PSP on and then they get it off.
All of u believers has been fooled (china style).

as far as the memcard seems that its just like anyother update.....i dont have my psp with me but if guessing you would put the update.pbp file in your games folder...or on the root of the memcard.....
if you read http://forums.qj.net/showpost.php?p=1632432=postcount=1
it will tell you that updating with the memcard is like downgrading / upgrading firmware....so it has to be similar to a regular firmware upgrade thats legit from sony.
ill fiddle with it when i get home.

So why doesn't he just show the battery pack ?
It is a fake like every time. You have to get rid of this stupid idea of a battery downgrader. Just a rumor that spreads quickly over the internet.

THOSE AREN'T F*CKING CHINESE U FRIKKIN' GOOSE!
1st, The choices you made AREN'T Chinese of origin.
2nd, Your just a loser.
and 3rd, Get an education.
Next time you post an un-educated come back, make sure you do some RESEARCH 1st before making a complete !d!ot of yourself.
And as for my GF and I, we visit more than you can EVER dream of along with MANY other countries.
What is it you say? "Don't talk *****e unless u know"
Guess what? WE DO KNOW!. It's not like I'm friggin' dissin' HK. I'm simply pointing out that MOST citizens are EASILY BRIBED.
PLUS, the topic here is the damn "jigkick+softwar e". Not some frikkin' debate on how much poshy places are there in HK.
Next time you have something to say. Do it with a bit of dignity and pride.
And in this case, It is NOT I that is dumb f*ck, it is yourself TOOL!

So I contemplated about it some more out side and realize that across the street was some povo looking shop that carried the same pair of shoes with the brand 'Gucci' embedded on it's tag. So I imediately realize that this was a replica of the genuine thing.
I then compared the price and as many out there would know, it was almost unimaginable. the RRP price for the real deal was close to $16,000 USD and the replicas price tag was $150 USD.
At this point I'll let your imagination take place on what the final choice I made.
[Moke] I understand your argument but I don't understand why your so harsh on Han.
He probably just had a bad day or he might have been offended on your previous post (quote on the >.

He also pointed out that Sony board members will never agree/approve a universal repair device such as this "Jigkick" in mention. This is simply due to that the PSP Unit has no critical or highly classified technological parts that would validate it to have it's own 'highly classified repair system'.
And the only thing he mentioned that Sony is strictly concealing to the public when it comes toward the PSP Devision that he was aware of is it's software developments, which includes the Firmware and it's source codes and others he to mentioned but I failed to understand. (Unless it's a new hardware/software design of course)
But there is a repair side of Sony of course, but it is solely based on research and studies on how Sony products faults so they can improve on it on future designs/releases.
I was also told that when the fist 100 or 200 cases of faulty firmware cases they received was dealt with utmost urgency, and enough studies were conducted on how it ended to be it's formal condition. But nothing major was done to resolve the damaged goods, besides the process I mention above and recycling if all attempts fails. Sony project managers thought it would've been more effective if they focus on the software restrictions (hence the firmware updates) rather than them receiving countless of damaged PSP Units if they were to discover and come up with a recovery system and announce it publicly. Not to mention that project would need major funding and a whole new team(s) of developers, engineers, electricians, etc... Which at that time Sony had no time, let alone funds available at that department to fund such projects.
So they did the most logical course of action and ignored damaged PSP Units and simply placed a system where if you were to be involved/practiced Custom Firmwares and all it's relations, they will simply either charge you much more for repair/replacement or in the worst case scenario, you just don't get squat (which Sony recently course of action was a warranty update and made part of their legal agreement that users of Custom Firmware and all it's relations will not be covered by their warranty policy act. Sony's way of pointing the finger on you and saying "Serves you right!").
Which in my honest opinion is just brilliant!
Even though I'm convinced that this 'Jigkick' doesn't exist. The whole idea and imagination of it's concept intrigues and interest me.
Like what my father said "Imagine you were a CO of Sony LTD, while in your weekly meetings with your top managers and engineer + administrators. Someone had pitched the idea that this device should be produced/made. What would you reply? (bear in mind the implications it would bring in the long run)"
Keeping in mind those above said, if there is someone or somebody that does posses such device(s), it would have not come from Sony. It would've been privately developed and funded.
That's assuming it exist in the first place.
If it doesn't, I just wish more ideas like this one should be brought to life, not just in forums and such. An idea like this would bring an unlimited revenue of financial aid to it's discoverer(s).
Not to mention monopolize and cripple on Sony's repair devision. (but my father would be pis

That's what you get for sticking your nose without making a point about the main topic.
Why are you so pissed on Moke's comments anyway? He has a valid point!
C'mon, look at yourself for one, as soon as you hear/read someone has said that China made products that are cheap and low quality you get all defensive. But when you really think about it, IT'S TRUE.
And I do agree with Moke that if some Chinese has got this special battery he would've auctioned/bid it already to make profit.
And if I was told, I'll be a part of that and be trying hard to own that piece of bl33p!* as hard as you got owned by Moke. LOLZ!!!!
