Sony PSP-110 battery - Image 1As much as we all want to hear that the new PlayStation Portable batteries Sony's dishing out can be converted to Pandora, it can't. Fanjita informs us via the Noobz site that the new Sony PSP batteries are Pandora-proof.

Fanjita got his Sony PSP-110 battery (the fat PSP's original batt) recently from Amazon, and it seems Sony's been doing some patching, making it hard to be successfully converted to the ultimate universal PSP unbricker from Noobz and C+D. The homebrew coder says that even flashing an EEPROM image shows lots of errors when using the new battery.

So far, dev says that the only difference of this new Sony PSP battery from the older versions is that this was made in Japan, while the older ones were made in China. But the Pandora-proof batteries shouldn't be a problem for the homebrew users. Fanjita suggests that we get new large capacity batteries to use as a regular battery and the just use the original battery that came with the PSP for Pandora. Or we can also use the multi-IPL loader from Booster so our Pandora batteries can also become our primary batteries. He goes on to warn us that we shouldn't buy new Sony PSP batteries if we're intending to convert it to Pandora. Nice guy.

For those of you planning to unbrick your PSPs (assuming you still haven't done that or have just had your PSP bricked) using the Pandora, you can familiarize yourself on the how-tos with the easy-to-follow tutorial from FreePlay.

It's my understanding PSP-110 batteries are no longer in production, only the PSP-280u has been getting restocked in the local B&M stores since the 'fat' daxter pack was released some time ago.

So what? EVERYONE that buyd a FAT psp already have a pandora enabled battrey. The psp productions also had been stopped a few months ago because they only gets hacked. they started the slim battreys. But whats the point? Everyone have a pandora enabled battrey if he buy a psp. And even if... SONY'S BATTREYS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN BE CONVERTED TO PANDORA. I GOT A MAXPOWER BATTREY FOR JUST 10 EURO THAT IS ALSO CONVERTED TO A PANDORA BATTREY. IF YOU DIDNT GOT A BATTREY WITH YOUR NEW BUYD PSP, TTHHEENN YOU COULDNT CONVERT IT TO PANDORA ANYMORE.

So STFU!

1. For those who wanted to use the Pandora battery already probably got 1

2. There are enough old batteries out there to circulate around

3. Third pary batteries can still DO... so you're giving away your battery sales to someone else

4. Fat battery works on Slim... you just have to hold it in place (or use a rubber band)

5. Sony check your sales report.... after the Pandora is out your sales didn't really go down (that much). I offered on CraigList to do the pandora *FOR FREE* for people (the poor souls who bricked theirs but not have a friend who has a 1.5 or CFW) I only got 5 response in my city in 2 weeks. So yeah it is a threat but probably as much as threat as Iraq to the US before invasion
