Nand is the psp flash0 and flash1, pandora is the software to bring life to a brick psp. can also use to install custom firmware if current psp uses original firmware

about psp seller, all psp original. i dont think got fake psp. but do watchout for refurbished psp or psp with different colored faceplate. this is for the old phat psp. my friend bought a phat psp with gold faceplate which felt so cheap and crappy so if ur buying phat check if the faceplate if its ori. if u buying slim no problem i think. Seller in lyn i think all of them if not most are respectable. a good thing to do is check their successful trade list and see if got complaints or not. buying from shops also not a really bad idea. price for psp is pretty much the same everywhere. sumore easy to claim warranty if got problems plus u can check first b4 buying.

also if u got fake 4gb ms its ok. if i'm not mistaken psp only comes with ori 32mb ms only giga pack got ori 1gb ms. my fren bought the fake 4gb so far no problem. if u want faster ms get the 2gb fake hsmspd. i tested the read and write speed for the fake 2gb hsmspd. its faster than the ori mspd that comes free with the psp. faster than the ori 2 gb hsmspd. well at least mine is. dont know bout other fake 2gb hsmspd. i'm not sure if got fake 4gb hsmspd. never had the chance to test one. so i really dont know the speed.

Erm, what is the flash 0 flash1 >.<and is NAND a type of memory file? you see, i havent buy a psp. so Im pretty blur about these term hehe. If you say that pandora is a software, why do i see there is pandaro battery or pandora memory stick ? HOw to use a battery to bring life or update custom firmware ?

QUOTE(Ashes @ Jul 19 2008, 08:38 PM)

To update ur psp cfw juz follow the cfw instruction, nowadays its very easy plus got safety check lagi. unlike the old days haha. wanna backup ur nand? go to the cfw recovery mode got option to toggle flash0, 1 usb. open ur flash0 and flash1 in ur comp. make sure u set folder setting to see all hidden and system file. copy everything and put in safe place. i use this backup to revert to any cfw i've use. or to recovery my semi bricked psp or when i screwed up sumthing when dealing with custom XMB. but i think thats only applicable for the earlier phat psp. coz i tried this method with TA-082 mobo, doesnt work. Slim also doesnt work. but that was the test i did last year.

if ur psp brick. dont worry. any store will gladly charge u 50 bucks to revive ur psp. which is a rip off. hahaha. if u live sumwhere near tronoh or ipoh i'll gladly do it for a free meal. KFC ka. McD ka. hahaha

sorry again, what is cfw >.< ? izzit custom firmware in short term? just a wild guess hehe. Erm, do you have any guide for self-update to latest custom firmware for psp slim? what is customr XMB ? so, what you are proposing here doesnt work on psp slim ? >.<?

My PSP can't charge with AC Adapter. I can feel the heat on the adaptor but the led light on PSP is off. Adaptor malfunction?
Btw, charging with usb cable is ok. Any1 can help?

why not try with another adaptor(friends,or family) and see what happens? if it charges with the other adaptor, at least u know yours is faulty. yar?

Ok guys.. I had spend my time on reading all the PSP beginner thread on page 1. But then still confuse with some of the issues.

Will going to get myself a psp in a day or two this week. Well here is my question, hope some senior can help.

1. Kernel & firmware is it the same? I saw some thread that some people are mentioned as kernel but some mentioned as firmware. Are they the same?

2. Do PSP Slim still need the kernel/firmware 1.5 in order to use the homebrew thingy? I really confuse with this as most of the thread i google around mentioned only PSP need it. But i wander they means PSP Slim or PSP FAT need it or not as well.

3. If 1.5 kernel needed, do i need to downgrade the PSP slim kernel/firmware to 1.5 then use a special tools to emulate it to the latest kernel/firmware again? Quite confuse with this part also.

4. I knew that Pandora batt is a hardware/device for do modding or unbrick a psp. Then how about magic stick? Is that a software or hardware?

Hope can get some simple and easy understanding explanation from all senior psp's owner.

And lastly, please dont FLAME me on my noob question, since the section is for PSP Beginner so i hope can get some useful information. :bow:

I will give u the simple answer.. dont bother with the kernel problem. Psp slim dont have 1.5 kernel. So new psp owner no need to think about 1.5 kernel. N no, u dont need 1.5 kernel for upgrading firmware.

N for the pandora battery n magic stick, u only need this 2 thing if u brick ur psp or when u want to downgrade ur firmware. As long as u dint play with ur flash0... u should be fine. Just enjoy ur game.

But for ur info, memory stick is just a normal memory stick that we change into "magic type" with a software.

Thx for reply. Already test with other AC adapter and my usb cable charger, both work like charm. So is confirm the adapter got problem. Test with voltmeter and no reading at all.

2months life span for stock adapter is pretty short. Check on Sony website but the price is RM149. Give me a shock.

psphacks.com <<< GO THERE FOR ALL YOUR PSP QUESTIONS.

Took me 1 hour to homebrew my psp to 3.71 M33-4 firmware. Btw remember to buy an extra battery lol

Also 3.71 M33-4 is the best firmware right now. Don't go 3.90 if you want to play your ps1 games nicely.

Also can someone convince me not to sell my psp lol? I've been using it for only 6 months but I'm already bored... Lack of games and too much ps1>psp port.... Furthermore, I'm buying a ps3.. Srsly is it worth it?
