The PSP is Not Responding to the Pandora Battery

The Pandora battery, used alongside the Magic Memory Stick on Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP), allows you the flexibility to install custom firmware. By downgrading the original operating system, you can install and run applications and Homebrew games from other consoles on your PSP. Setting up your PSP to successfully use the Pandora battery is easy and doesn't take much time.
