nice pspkings.net this will actually prove to be use full

1st reply!

Sweetness! I

also

For those of you wondering... no, you can't use a slim battery on a PSP Fat... 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.

fake

this looks fake since when he was distracting you talking about the battery some one switched the system .look at the system he puts down and you'll see it is on the system info screen then he start talking about the differences between the fat and slim battery and on minute -454 the paper were the system is moves toward him then magically when he picks the system up its out of the system info screen and into the xmb screen. if that don't scream FAKE I don't what does

d

pspkings isbaddass

IS real

you people are idiots! this IS IN FACT REAL!!!!! there is a hardware mod out there to convert a battery to a pandora. thats why he showed the fat one puller apart

stupid

the paper got stuck to his sleeve, dumbass. pay attention before you go accusing.

also..

when he picks it up again, it doesnt show the system info screen kuz he already exited out of it. what do you think that click was when he put it down?

great news!

I don't know if this is true, but if the second part is, we've got a hacker who has surpassed even Fanjita! Apparently, this guy claims to have had made a battery that can do pandora's effects... without a pandora battery: And I quote: Exclamation JigKick Battery from SLIM and Pandora without battery Hello everyone, My nick is BLACK RAVEN, i come from Poland and i`m an JuniorADMIN of a biggest site in Poland about PSP (http://pspoland.pl) I would like to inform all about effecting one of polish PSP user - DarkRayne. He has made JigKick battery from PSP SLIM battery. Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+76ZnL...ts.pl/news.php Next effecting is Start-up of Pandora Menu without a JigKick Battery. Everything you need is a modified AC adaptor and USB Plugged This process is complicate but real ;-) Check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v+VThk8...ts.pl/news.php p.s. Sorry for my English :-P

He stated himself that...

He did not modify the actual Slim Battery's hardware, it's still possible he faked it because he never actually proved that he did it by a software mod.

MAC Address

He didn't hide the MAC Address. I'm suprised since all the other videos find ways to cover it pretty well.

yeah, it's probably real

Not possible through software, but likely possible through hardware.

It still has the possibility of being a fake.

The whole reason he made the video is to show a slim battery supposedly working as a pandora with NO hardware mods, only a software modification. Because he had not proved it was not a hardware mod, and truly was a software mod, it may have been a fake. Just don't jump up and get excited about it, it's only a rumor.

he's polish

those guys have guts! Back in WW2, they used horsemen to attack hitler's tanks. it didn't work, but they were gutsy at least!

back in XMB

If you look at the last possible shot b4 he sets down the psp and zoom in on it, you see it went back into the XMB. I still don't like the fact that he removes it from our site and then doesn't redisplay the firmware again before showing off his Pandora Slim >.>

real

From what he says on his sight (roughly translated) he will release the tutorial after he does a few more tests. He says it will be soon though. If you want to read it its here but it's all in polish. http://forum.pspoland.pl/topics2/bateria-pandory-ze-slima-zobacz-vt14524.htm

typo

sorry i mean site.

Moron

I'm giving this guy the benifit of the doubt. I mean hey, if he did it through softmoding then cool, that means even more people can make a pandoras battery. If he did it through hardmoding still its nice

k.

That would be because those idiots don't know MAC addresses are part of layer 2 on the OSI model. MAC addresses are not forwarded through router and are only used in local networks. 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

MAC Hiding.

I can think of many ways to sabotage using MAC address. 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.

...

Poland, home of Stealing, Copying and Pirating things made this. 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.

downgrader

For those of you who don't have a homebrew PSP available, and can't find any friends how do have one, go here, and tell him that youarepwned/referral whore sent you: http://stores.ebay.com/PSP-Unbricker

hello world

have they made a trojan, or at least a hello world that'll permanently destroy a PSP so that Sony or even pandora can't unbrick?

spain

... But if you think about it, Spain is the country of pirates (literal pirates, you know the "Me steal your boat so that I can steal your loot! Now gimme boat, arrghh, or i shooty you with my AK 47". And I'm sure we can agree that that one alejandro guy "randomly" popped up and hacked the PSP quite well. Besides, the slim just came out, so if anything, if his concept is real, he's faster than Alejandro! 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,copying and pirating UMDs/ISOs on a slim :P 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.

I know

Yeah I understand your point. Actually in the first part I was kidding a bit :p 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)

its legit

i would say that this is a legit one, and its not fake video presentation, unlike others who edited their own video too much, well its just the mere fact that guy must show to all of us how it is been done after that all will believe polish people was ever first beaten spainiards, russians, chinese or even americans, sometimes we must accept this facts, coz its all for the benefit of us without this kind of people psp hacking wont grow...so we just stay put and wait for now if he'll be able to teach this trick, those accuse too much just ask the man on how he have done it.... period.

iamback

That's impossible. Pandora does it without paying attention to what's on the flash. The flash is like a box, and no matter what's in it, pandora just throws the box away and creates a new one.

proof of my legit

maybe you will be interesed this video which should clean my nickname http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v+VbKYaF6PElc#GU5U2spHI_4

Wait???

Why the hell is his Wi-fi light trippin out for?

idstorage

But I thought you can accidentally corrupt your ID Storage by using a bad flash, leading to a perma-brick. So wouldn't there be a trojan that can imitate the effects of a bad flash?

Just about right...

iamback is the only douchbag here that would want 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.

hiding

Not only is he gutsy enough to show his mac address (sorry, lolunregistered, I haven't read your wiki article yet), he also repeatedly lets his reflection show on the PSP... Not even dark alex or fanjita have "unmasked" themselves yet. Well, ok, fanjita has admitted to being robert court, but he still hasn't sent out any vids of himself. Dark Alex has only said that his name's alejandro, and that he's a goth and has cats, and has left it at that.

above

just a little note to all of you. when you watch the video above, change the plus to an equals sign. I think due to HTML formatting limitations, qj's forums automatically turn equal signs into plus signs.

wifi

Are you referring to the end of the movie, when pandora boots up? I believe that's normal. My memory stick and wifi indicators light up spastically when first booting up. My cementerio despertar does, anyway. I don't remember what the original pandora did, but as far as I can remember, it did too.

actually

the psp slim batt will fit into a phat with a little modification 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 sourced from lan.st

need to elaborate a bit more

even though its true that the slim batt has pandora like bahaviour when EEPROM is removed or has a pin lifted, i dont think it has been utilised yet, i dont know, maybe the preparation of the memstick may be different. i dont want lan.st to be flooded by noob questions (so no direct link) as its more a serious developers site and i dont post myself.but shes a damn good read, i mean these guys are geniuses.

here it is

Back in the nearby past, Cory149 and l_oliveira more or less accidentally discovered that a fat battery with eeprom removed behaved strange: the PSP instantly turned on when the battery was inserted and refused to do anything useful. Later on, when the Pandora had been released, Cory gave the battery a go with a working Pandora stick and discovered that the battery with eeprom removed behaved like a Pandora 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.

ben heck is a genius

Have you seen that guy's console laptops?! 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?

wicked insider...

a. it's not my service. I just get commissions for sending referrals to him. 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 :P

a

***** on this weekend i hope that i show tuts on my page . I will meet with pspoland admin and i will make it on his console. i hope then all you will apollagaise me. I must rent spielberg or other famouse and good director to rec me how i made it mybe then you all will be live

@iamback

yeah the lights on a phat for a normal pandora downgrade or unbrick the mem stick and the wifi lights go solid as the menu loads

maybe right

the new generic bats have hardware modification that make the psp aware of pandora hack no known woy of pandora is known yet

yo dark rayne

there will always be idiots my man very good work please join lan.st you'll fit in well there

hey rayne

did you know about the eeprom trick i read it on lan.st you'll see everything on lan.st is genuine you'll also get good conversation for your skills from harleyg mathuilh cyanide and types math is spelt wrong..i dont care the guy is a genius
