How to Make a Magic Memory Stick With a Bricked PSP

The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) uses a Magic memory stick in order to install custom firmware onto it. Custom firmware is the operating system that runs the PSP and it unlocks many different features. Sometimes, when the PSP is updated improperly, the PSP will become bricked and will be unusable. If this is the case, you need to use the Magic memory stick to fix the PSP so you can use it again. The problem is that you normally use the PSP to make a Magic memory stick. With the release of a new computer program, you can now make a Magic memory stick on your computer and use it in your bricked PSP afterward.
