How to Use my PSP Pandora Battery?

Lemme clarify the battery confusion. The only thing that pandora changes on the battery is the serial number of the battery. There isn’t any ‘code’ in the eeprom of the battery, just information about the battery (i.e. manufacturer data, capacity, serial number, etc). The pandora battery changer just changes the serial number to all 1’s in binary. The rom firmware in the PSP reads this serial number when you power it up. If it sees that serial number, it looks for the IPL code on the memory stick instead of the system flash. That’s why pandora’s ‘battery’ isn’t just a battery. It’s a battery and a memory stick. That’s also the reason you can’t use the battery like a normal battery, because it always tries to load the IPL from the memory stick if you boot with that battery in, which obviously won’t work if you have a regular memory stick in. Plus it won’t boot whatever firmware you may have installed on your PSP. It just boots the IPL on the pandora stick. Hope this clears some things up.
