PSP 2001 MMS and pandora?

#1 26 Oct 2010 @ 11:06
I'm going to mod my friends psp 2001, the silver model. I have rains ultralite mms maker and a 1gb memory stick to make the mms. I'm going to make his battery into a pandora and after i'm finished, will change it back. Is the pencil lead method the best way, i don't have a saudering iron, so thats out of the question. i'm goin to install 5.00 m33-4 and update to m33-6. i want to be able to play 6.30 plus games, how would i go about doing this, any suggestions?

About the games:
You need to mod the iso file:

About the Pandora:
I wouldn't turn the battery into a pandora one, I would rather buy it at www.dealextreme.com, they are only around 5US$ shipped, you always have it handy in case you need it and you don't damage your original (which is way more expensive than 5 US$). Also don't you need a PSP that already has a CFW to make a Pandora battery?

Xbox 360: On my fourth console, first one rrod 3 times, second one sold at ebay because of no HDMI, third one rrod during flashing (supposedly killed that drive), fourth one up and working on LT 3.0
PSP: Slim&Lite 2004 model with 6,60 ME v1.3
PS3: 60 Gig Model with the latest official firmware for going online and a modified case for better cooling
PSVita: Need some games for it, just bought an 8 GB memory card at ebay, awaiting a Photofast addapter for MicroSD-cards.

I have seen tutorials on how to make a pandora battery by cutting a wire on its motherboard and then putting it back together. And then to fix it, you just color in the missing part of the wire with a graphite pencil. I would buy the pandora, but I've got a small problem. I don't have a credit card, neither does he, so we cant order off of the internet. Which is a pain in the butt.
Thank you for the link, that looks great. i researched a little and found a "620.prx". It has something to do with playing 6.20 required games on 5.00 m33-6, but i can't find out how where to get it, or how to use it. If you've got any other ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

www.dealextreme.com accepts paypal, so no credit card needed.
After you cut the wire, you still have to flash the battery's chip to make it a pandora one, that's where you need the PSP that already has custom firmware (or atleast that's the last thing I know).
Also if you download the games you mostly don't have to patch them, this only applies when you copy your own games.

From my bank account. I don't have to put money onto my paypal account, paypal debits it from my bank account directly, but I think that only works after your bank account is checked (paypal transfers a few cents to it twice and you have to give them the exact value as two identify numbers), before you have done that you need to transfer the money by wire transfer to your paypal account.

I'm 14, so I don't have a bank account. I believe i will just ask my mom to buy it, but if she won't, I guess I'll just hardmod the battery. I asked my dad and I do have access to a soldering iron. That way if the pandora doesn't work, i can sold the wire that I cut back together.
