Rumor: JigKick battery made from PSP Slim battery |
Listed in: Homebrew Development, Rumors, Videos Tags: psp homebrews, Sony
Ó
We're still not sure how true this one is, so we're filing this one under rumors for the time being.
Of course, as we really can't understand Polish, we can't verify at the moment if this is a legitimate claim or not - but the video itself does look convincing. Note that he shows everything from start to finish, making it clear through various times in the clip that he is in fact using a PSP Slim & Lite's battery.
How did he do it? Details are scant, but according to DarkRayne himself, he used a software modification process to "pandorize" the battery itself, and not with a hardware modification.
A little bit of refresher for those of us unfamiliar with a JigKick battery: it's basically a battery used for unbricking a bricked PSP, or downgrading a Sony PSP with any firmware version. Until then, please note once more that we're filing this under rumors, so let's not try anything with our Sony PSP Slim batteries just yet. As we're all waiting, you can go ahead and check out the video in the embed below.

So don't bother asking (it's more due to physical limitations than hardware limitations). The connectors don't quite touch the fat psp when putting in a slim battery.

In conclusion it's a waste of time and brain (not that they seem to present any) to hide it from the public. Don't believe me? read up:

I can take a game ISO, write my own rogue game sharing data (game sharing data is stored in a single file which is sent as a whole). When using game sharing, if the host detects a known MAC, it can send the rogue data instead of the real one. The rogue data's eboot can brick the PSP, delete IDStorage, ruin NAND parition, etc.

OF COURSE it's real. why Not?
ok sorry, that is just a prejustice, but I don't think this is real.
I mean, he just pops out all of a sudden and makes something that is believed to be impossible. I never head his name before, and I'm here since the beginning. For me he's just a faker.
Prove me that I'm wrong and I haven't said anything, but until now, I'm a bit skeptic. Oh and sorry again about that prejustice.

And another example, David Court comes from Scotland... As we all know, Scots are extremely kind people who are NEVER NEVER in a pissed off mood... ;P
(So yeah, we can't just judge on a country. Besides, most Poles that I've met were very, very nice. And all of them loved video games. Also, if they like "stealing, copying, and pirating things", modding a slim battery is only natural to them, as it will facilitate stealing,copyin g and pirating UMDs/ISOs on a slim
Furthermore, I think America is the number one country that deals with piracy (the software kind, not the boat kind). We just do it secretly, other countries do it openly.

What I mean, is that (for me) it looks just a bit unserious. The first thing what he does is to show everybody how great he is because he hacked a Slim Battery. So far, nobody came nearly to this point and it's not based on some new discovery or something. He just enters he Hombrew scene and BAM! -- he makes Pandora Slim battery. It looks like he wants just some attention. ( i think you know what I mean)

a virus for the PSP so he could spread it around and
then spam for his rip off unbrick service.
I mean I've come to expect as much from iamback
it's the only way he could find to fuel the service
he provides, or shall I say dis-service.
Even looking for such a possibility to perma-brick
others PSP's or just thinking about the possibility
shows just how much of an ASS HOLE iamback
truly is.

only it bricks
the psp slim battery has been pandorized for a while now
all you need to do is lift one pin from the EEPROM and the batt reports 0xFFFFFF and becomes a service mode battery

It turned out that it was not necessary to remove the full eeprom, just cutting one pin was enough to convert the battery into a Pandora!
It's been described in more detail on Ben Heck's forum (the voltage regulator forgot to give credits to Cory and l_oliveira), including a detailed description on how to convert the battery.
The new and good news is that the procedure works on the slim battery too! No bricked batteries, you get a fully working Pandora battery! I've tried it because I was bored and wanted to do something and can say that it works flawlessly. The slim boots the Cemetery stick on it without problems and when checking the serial with the battery converter (I used Cory's open source tool) it shows as 0xFFFFFFFF.

BTW, so if this is the case, (I'm not flaming) why is it that generic batteries with no eeprom won't boot into service mode? Because having no eeprom is effectively the same as removing the eeprom, right? Just wondering. Or is it just eprom, where you can only modify it using magnets?

b. I don't see how a permanent brick would be useful. I am pretty sure that the guy (stores.ebay.com/psp-unbricker) said that he'll refund people if he can't fix their PSPs. So, if I were to make an un-unbrickable PSP, I'd only be ruining business for him (and thus that'd destroy my ref bonuses, too).
Your nickname is so perfect for you, you wicked insider
