3) When you are done unbricking, take out the battery and the magic memory stick. Start up the PSP using the AC adaptor (do not try to use a USB charger, it will not start up) 4) Insert the magic memory stick and the magic battery. 5) Run 'Pandora's Battery Creator' again. 6) Press L+R to restore the ms0:/eeprom.bin to your battery. So finally plug in second battery (not pandora battery) and then copy your ISO's and CSO files onto memory stick, put in cd into back of PSP and go to Games - memory stick and start up game/file that you have loaded up to memory stick. You must have cd in psp when loading otherwise you will get errors when loading game from memory stick.

To run GNU FreeDink on PSP, you need to disable the 'tivoization'that restrict you from running your programs on your hardware.
What is tivoization?
This means that your computer doesn't let you run the applicationsyou want. In this case, a PSP only runs programs that are signed(digitally) by Sony, so it won't let you run FreeDink.
Links:
- Tivoisation explained- implementation and harms - a good introduction
- What istivoization? How does GPLv3 prevent it? - the GPLv3 is thesoftware license used by GNU FreeDink
- A movie aboutTrusted Computing (subfr) - watch this video about another form ofhardware control called 'treacherous computing' [1]
- Other links at gnu.org and fsf.org: [1] [2]
The goal of this page is to unlock your PSP.
A program that is not signed is nicknamed 'homebrew'. The defaultsystem from Sony (that cannot run homebrews) is called 'originalfirmware' or 'ofw'. The system that can run homebrews is called'custom firmware' or 'cfw'.
Disabling tivoization is possible on:
- PlayStation Portable 1000 'Fat'
- PlayStation Portable 2000 'Slim&Lite'
- PlayStation Portable 3000 'Brit' (since May 2009, semi-unlock only)
For this you can either:
- Use a Pandora Battery: all PSPs
- Use a trick on the original PSP Fat systems
- Use a temporary semi-unlocker aka HEN that works until you reboot
The reference documentation is http://alek.dark-alex.org/pspwiki/.
Solution 1: Pandora Battery
A Pandora Battery consists of:
- a battery with a serial number set to 0xffffffff(JigKick)
- and a bootable memory stick (Magick Memory Stick)
When a PSP is turned on with a battery (no sector), and when thebattery's serial number is 0xffffffff, then it boots on the memorystick. This is similar to booting from a CD-ROM instead of thehard-disk on a PC.
JigKick
This battery can be bought, under the name PandoraTool. For example Datel sells such a battery, color red, underthe name 'Tool, service mode battery', at the price of a classic PSPbattery.
Alternatively, you can reset the serial number of yournormal battery. For this, you need a friend who is alreadyrunning custom firmware on her PSP. You then run a program such as'HellCat's Pandora Installer'; in its menu:
Battery Options > dump battery serial to file: to save the serial, so you can restore it laterBattery Options > make battery Pandora: to set the serial to 0xffffffff
If you turn on your PSP while using this battery, you'll be able toboot on a memory card - see below how to prepare it.
There is a limitation: this doesn't work on very recentbatteries. In addition, recent PSP S&L (technically: with amotherboard newer than TA-085-v2) cannot modify the battery serial.Note that all S&L still boot on a Pandora Battery, it'sjust that some cannot create a JigKick. You can check yourmotherboard version using HellCat's Pandora Installer.

Battery versions: you can use a Fat battery in a PSP Slim, but youcan't use a Slim battery in a PSP Fat. Both batteries' serial can bereset.
Magic Memory Stick
This is a normal memory card that you make bootable by installingan executable boot sector near the beginning.
Installing a prepared image
If you are running GNU/Linux, the most simple to download thememory stick image I prepared and burn it to your memory stick (1GBminimum). Download it here (50MB): magicstick.img.tar.gz.
Here is a very detailed installation process:
- Backup your memory stick, as we'll erase it
- Connect your PSP to your computer using a standard USB cable
- Pass the PSP in USB mode:
Settings > USB Connection - Note the name of your PSP drive (such as /dev/sdb). You can type:after you plugged the USB cable.
- Unmount the PSP drive in your computer
- Decompress the archive in your home directory:
- Type in a terminal, replacing
/dev/sdbwith what you found in 4.
You can also look for installers that work from ms windows, such as'Rain's UltraLite MMS Maker' or 'PSP Pandora Deluxe'.

Preparing the card manually
Alternatively, you can create the memory stick manually (cf. thisFrench tutorial):
- Install HellCat's Pandora Installer R4b (post byHellCat):
- Run it from
Game > Memory Stick > Pandora Installer for 3.xx+ -R4b- - In the menu, choose
MemStick and MS-IPL Options > Repartition and format MemStick (DESTRUCTIVE!)(this gives more space to boot sector) - Install 'Despertar del cementerio v8' to
PSP/GAME/dc8(cf. dark-alex.org) - Install
500.PBP(from http://alek.dark-alex.org/pspwiki/index.php/Official_Firmware or http://www.psp-hacks.com/category/36) to the root/of your memory stick. - Run DC8 from
Game > Memory Stick > Despertar del cementerio v8
Use it
- Turn off your PSP
- Unplug the electrical outlet
- Insert your Magic Memory Stick
- Install your JigKick battery
At this point, the PSP boots on the Magic Memory Stick, and offeryour to install the custom firmware (Install 5.00 M33).
Solution 2: Tricks
If you don't have a Pandora Battery, some tricks can be used toupgrade to custom firmware. I didn't try first hand, so I'll just notethe general principle here.
- The original 1.5 firmware for PSP Fat can be told to run ahomebrew. It works out-of-the-box.
- In later versions, the initial verification can be bypassed byusing an upgrade (using a vulnerability in the Tiff library).
- In later versions it is also possible to bypass the initialverification by using special savegames for some games. This isgenerally a buffer overflow technique.
Solution 3: HEN
The latest HEN, or semi-unlocker, which works on all PSPs includingmodel 3000, iscalled ChickHEN.
Magic Memory Stick
Without it, when you try to run FreeDink, the PSP says 'This gamecannot be started. The data is corrupted' (which is a lie).
To install ChickHEN:
Psp Pandora Battery And Magic Memory Stick Download For Pc
- Upgrade to firmware 5.03. (If you installed 5.50, that's bad luck,you need to downgrade (PSP1&2, see Pandora Battery above) or you're stuck(PSP3))
- Download the 5.03 firmware from Dark Alex's page
- Put
503.PBPinms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP(precisely) - On your PSP, go to 'Game > Memory Stick' and run 'PSPTM Update ver 5.03'
- Download ChickHENR2 (not a previous version, they don't work fine yet) from thelink above
- Copy
h.binto the root of your memory stick (i.e. not in a subdirectory) - Copy slim the
ChickHEN/directoryinPSP/PHOTO/on your memory stick. For example you willgetms0:/PSP/PHOTO/ChickHEN/slim.tiff - Go to 'Photo > Memory Stick', then in the 'ChickHEN' directory
- The PSP will attempt to read all pictures. Don't touch any button. The last image is special and will run ChickHEN
- The screen flashes and the PSP reboots, now your system information will show '5.03 ChickHEN R2'
- You now can run FreeDink from 'Games > Memory Stick'. Note that,since this is only a semi-unlock, you can't use the latest front-end,which needs a small kernel module (kernel modules need fullunlock). You still can run stand-alone FreeDink alright.
