Psp firmware hack?

I have this old original model psp that resurfaced cleaning out a drawer. I read somewhere once that the firmware could be modified by something called a pandora battery. I tried to make one but my battery doesn’t have the chip. What kind of battery should I purchase to do this?

Pandora
I’m not exactly sure where, but I’ve seen a lot of places online.
Yea, you actually only need Pandora’s battery (which you make out of a regular battery) if you have previously bricked your psp. If you are looking for firmware and instructions on how to load an alternate firmware on the psp, you might look on the forums at http://www.maxconsole.com. You’ll probably find all the help you need there. You have a lot of choices so it really depends on what you want to do.
That being said, it’s not only wrong to steal… it’s also a sin so make sure you only use homebrew and legal roms on your psp.
Also, review the information here: http://www.fluther.com/disc/12878/how-do-i-install-custom-firmware-on-a-psp/
If you once owned the original game, you can get the ROM. Who’s going to know if you didn’t own it?
You will know… and God will know.
I’m just busting skabeeps chops because he’s a believer.
It just doesn’t seem very Christ-like to steal games. That’s all I’m saying.
And actually Eambos, most EULAs and terms of use you get these days say that you can only dump your own games for your own use. If you dump someone else’s games for your use (even if you own them) most of the time, it is illegal. A lot of DRM software, music, games etc restrict you to the point to where you cannot legally transfer the media off the device that you purchased the media on (even for backup purposes).
Even dumping your own games is a legal gray area sometimes because a lot of times, you need to break some type of encryption or copy protection in order to get it to work on a backup device. This encryption or protection is often protected under the terms of use (which you accepted when you opened the box), where you have agreed that it’s against the terms of use contractually to bypass those protections.
I’m not doing it to steal games. I actually don’t even play games. I just read about it and I thought it would be fun to try. I changed the firmware on my iPhone and it made it so much better. Was hoping for same results.
