How to Access My PSP Recovery Menu With A Pandora Battery

With the malleability of its firmware, the Sony PlayStation Portable video game console is a gamer's dream. Using a Pandora Battery, you can install custom firmware onto your handheld to create backup ISO files of your favorite games, install applications not available from Sony and access new content churned out by the "homebrew" community. However, there is some risk involved because the system might enter a locked mode when custom firmware isn't properly installed. When this occurs, you will need to access your Recovery Menu to fix it.
