Hack Your Wii for Homebrew Apps and DVD Playback and gaming
Despite the fact that it ships with a DVD drive, for whatever godforsaken reason, the Nintendo Wii doesn't support DVD playback—until last week, that is, when a homebrew hacker released a tool that enables DVD playback on your Wii. The best part? You don't have to crack open your Wii or disturb your hardware in any way to install it. Let's take a detailed look at how to softmod your Wii with the Twilight hack to run homebrew apps. Then I'll show you how to install the Wii port of the open source media player, mplayer, to turn your Wii into a DVD (or should I say WiiVD?) player.
What You'll Need
Since we're going to be doing a softmod of your Wii (i.e., we're not modifying any hardware), you don't really need much to accomplish this hack.
- Nintendo Wii
- An FAT16-Formatted SD Memory Card (more on this below)
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess ($50)
- The Wii Brew SD Installer (Windows)
- A Windows PC with an SD card reader
NOTE: I'm doing this all on a Windows PC, but you can manually install the Twilight Hack if you don't have access to a Windows PC.
The secret sauce lies in the Twilight Princess game. Essentially, we're going to load a fake game into Twilight Princess that exploits a buffer overflow and allows you install homebrew software on your Wii.
Sound complicated? Figuring it out may have been, but the excellent Wii hackers have made exploiting the Twilight hack a cinch.
Hacking Your Wii for Homebrew
To get started, plug your SD card into your computer. It needs to be formatted as a FAT16 filesystem, so find the SD card in My Computer and format it by right-clicking, selecting Format, and setting FAT as your file system. (If you have trouble formatting your SD card this way, try out the SD Card Formatter.)
Now it's time to prepare the SD card with the Twilight Hack. If you haven't already, download the Wii Brew SD Installer. When you've got it, make sure your SD card is plugged in and run the installer. The installer is fairly self-explanatory, but I'll walk you through it.
Choose Your Install Location
This should match the location of the SD card you just formatted above.
Select the Homebrew Features and Twilight Hack
Now you need to select the packages you want to install on your SD card (and, eventually, your Wii). I'd suggest selecting the Homebrew Channel (in fact, you need to if you want this to work), the Homebrew Browser, and DVDX (you'll need this last one for DVD playback). Make sure to select the Twilight Hack that matches your region. Hit Next and the Wii SD Installer will copy all the necessary files to your SD card.
Take Note of Your Twilight Princess Disc
If you're in the U.S., your copy of Twilight Princess is one of three different versions. One of the versions of the disc requires that you use a different save slot when we load the game later on, so just take note of the text on the inner circle of the bottom of the Twilight Princess game disc. (I needed TwilightHack2, for example.)
Perform the Twilight Hack on Your Wii
By this point, your SD card is officially prepared for your Wii. Unplug it from your computer and move over to your Wii. Plug it in and power up your Wii. At this point, you'll need to erase your current Twilight Princess saved game, copy the Twilight hack to your Wii, and execute it in Twilight Princess. (If you haven't played the game and created a save slot, you should do that before proceeding.) The video below from the WiiBrew folks details exactly how to do this.
NOTE: If the installation froze after you loaded the saved game and talked to the man, chances are you need to use the other saved game.
You'll need to accept a disclaimer and go through a few other screens to finish the installation (just use the 1 button on your Wiimote to accept). When it completes, head back to the Wii menu. The glorious new Wii Homebrew Channel awaits.
Turn Your Wii into a DVD Player
Now that you've got the Homebrew Channel installed, setting up DVD support is a breeze. Fire up your the Homebrew Channel from the main Wii menu and you should see the DVDx installer and Homebrew Browser. Click on the DVDx installer and run through the prompt. Hit A to select Normal install unless you've installed a modchip in your Wii. (If you're following this guide, chances are you don't have a modchip.) You've finished the first step.
Now you need to shut off your Wii and plug the SD card back into your computer, because it's time to install mplayer, the app that will play back DVDs on your Wii. You can download it from the HackMii web site at the bottom of this post. (Mplayer appears to be available in the Homebrew Browser, but it's not the version that supports DVD playback, so make sure you download it manually.)
After you've downloaded it, copy the entire mplayer folder to the apps folder on your SD card. Now just take the SD card back to your Wii, plug it in, and run the Homebrew Channel again. This time you should see mplayer next to your other installed apps, like below.
To play back a DVD, just fire up mplayer, insert a DVD, and select the Play DVD option in the mplayer menu. You'll notice two Play DVD menu items, the second of which reads Play DVD (libdvdnav). The libdvdnav attempts to use the built-in DVD menu, while the other just plays the first title. Unfortunately libdvdnav doesn't really work correctly with the Wiimote yet, but it looks to be on its way.
It takes a few seconds for mplayer to start playing the DVD, but once it does it plays without a hitch (or at least it has in all my experience). Thanks to YouTube, here's what it looks like:
The Wiimote/Gamecube controller playback shortcuts work as follows:
A - Pause
B - OSD
1/X - Toggle on screen menu
RIGHT - Seek 10s forward
LEFT - Seek 10s backward
UP - Seek 60s forward
DOWN - Seek 60s backward
+/R - Seek to the next chapter
-/L - Seek to the previous chapter
HOME/Z - Quit
What Else?
Once you've got your Wii opened up to homebrew apps, you've unlocked all kinds of potential, including emulators for old-school gaming consoles, different media players, and other utilities. If you've already got the Homebrew channel running on your Wii, let's hear what homebrew apps you've been using and loving in the comments. If the very idea of hacking your Wii sends shivers down your spine but you'd still like to squeeze out more functionality, check out how to use your Wii as a media center.

I was searching around google and landed upon a interesting article posted by nikkelitous, explaining why the PS3 is still not hacked. The article is a great read for anyone who is new to the PS3 scene and is wondering; "The 360, PSP, Wii, DS is hacked, why not the PS3?".
Hopefully after reading this, it can cut down tons of confusion present in the PS3 scene (and eliminate the theory that since the PSP was hacked like this so can the PS3).

A guy wants to release his game but needs the RSX for the amazing graphics it can generate. Why can't we just tear open the PS3 solder a few wires and be done with it? The answer is both simpler and more complicated than you might expect.
The PSP, the Wii, even the Xbox 360 have all been hacked and can run homebrew applications so everybody thinks "the PS3 should be just as easy.” The PS3 in some ways is as easy, in fact easier. No other console let you install Linux and run anything you want to. Sure Linux on the PS3 is great. You can write your own code and use it. You have the largest collection of applications anywhere (thats right, WAY more than Windows). It's all free (or at a very low cost).
But it's limited. You can't touch the RSX (The very powerful graphics chip in the PS3), you can't use the full hard drive, and nothing is really optimized for the PS3's fantastic Cell processor, this means that what should be fast and easy tends to be slow and cumbersome. In fact, DVD playing which can be done on any modern computer is a monumental task in PS3 Linux.
The major problem is that the PS3 isn't any other console. The PS3 is different in many huge and terrifying ways. First, lets compare the PS3. I know you may think "Why compare the PS3 to the PSP? Why not the 360 or the Wii? The answer is simple, the PSP is another Sony product and if we can break one Sony product why not another? The PSP is hacked, it's true. In fact, it was hacked almost as soon as it was released!
Why? Because the PSP didn't have any security protections in the first version: Thats right! It essentially ran anything that you put on it. You could install any program from day 1 (Mind you, no programs existed at the outset, but in time they became common.)
Now you may say "But they added security in the next version and that was hacked very quickly”. I agree with you here, the PSP now has a very powerful security system, but like the Greeks, we had people inside. Once a system is hacked and understood, very little can be used to continue to protect it. In other words, the moment the PSP was uncovered and investigated any future security measures would be trivial to remove and disarm. This proved true and to this day we have each version of the PSP firmware hacked and able to run homebrew within a few weeks.
Now, the Wii, homebrew for the Wii has been slower than expected, not because it's incredibly difficult to do, but because most developers don't see a reason. The Wii has been hacked, but it's almost exclusively used to play copied games.
Most homebrew, in fact, runs in the gamecube emulator built into the Wii. The only reason that developers were interested ing the Wii at all is the controller. Once the controller was found to be connectible to any computer (and even to the PS3) developers lost interest.
"But the Wii has still been hacked, lack of interest isn't an excuse for the PS3 being difficult”. That's true, it isn't, but there is a valid excuse. The Wii isn't a full upgrade of all the technologies in the GameCube, in fact, it's almost identical except for a few upgrades. The GameCube has been hacked for a long time and with the Wii being so similar it was a trivial matter to map out the exact differences.
"The 360” some may cry out "it's on par with the PS3 and has been hacked as well.” It's true, several hacks for the 360 exist, and some of them are actually monumentally difficult and fascinating. The first hack is rather simple actually. The 360 uses standard DVD disks for it's games. This means that duplicators exist widely for the 360s media, it also meant that people understand it very well. Sadly, the 360 was broken first by simply fooling the DVD drive to bypass all checks to ensure that a game wasn't copied.
Again it came from lack of security on the original version of the console. The DVD drive was easily put into "debug” mode and forced to reveal all it's secrets. Later versions of the console have rectified this with a newer drive. This hack is simply not possible for the PS3 because it's not using a DVD drive it's using a custom Blu-ray drive, we can't simply copy the disks, and we don't know enough about the firmware on the drive to accomplish a "debug mode” even if it's on there.
This wasn't the only hack to hit the 360. Momentarily vulnerable kernels have happened twice, where a bug in the firmware enabled homebrew to be run, each time, though, Microsoft closed the hole in the next version (which was usually released before the hack was really publicized). This is possible for the PS3, but we haven't yet found one of those bugs.
Remember: Only 2 of all the updates the 360 has had have been broken, all the others are still secure.
Only recently has the "timing” or "ultimate” attack on the 360 come to fruition. By counting the time it takes for the 360 to crash when confronted with code which is not valid the "hash” of a particular set of data can be found. This enables you to move back to one of the older firmwares and hack your 360. However, you are still unable to access the xbox live service until you return to a higher version.
Mind you, this hack is INCREDIBLY difficult to do and requires a specially designed mod-chip and several hours for your 360 to reset repeatedly until you can downgrade putting this hack well above the average user. (To the 360 hackers, I am sorry for simplifying your brilliant hack so much, but this article isn't just to sceners, it's to everyone.)
"It's still a hack.” Well thats true, the 360 IS hacked. And it will probably only get further hacked as time goes on. But you must remember, the 360 was out for a full year longer than the PS3 and it has less security than the PS3 (which actually has a special "police” program running constantly to ensure that the PS3 remains secure). More time and less security mean that it's easier to break open.
"Well, fine then, when can we expect a PS3 hack?” Thats a good question but it's very hard to answer. You see, we have many expert hackers trying to break open the PS3 and eventually they will, the problem is that there are many groups of hackers who aren't communicating or sharing information. This means that many hackers are repeating work that another hacker has already done, or that may be useless due to information that another group may have discovered.
While many groups have claimed hacks, none have actually provided any proof, instead we get videos like the recent ICE video and we get excuses. They may very well have incredibly valuable information, but none of it is shared so it's hard to get anything out of it. Paradox may have a loader but no way of running it on the latest PS3 firmware, while another group may have a hack enabling code to be run on the latest firmware, but nothing to run on it.
"Why aren't they sharing?” Typically, the reason they don't want to share is glory. They want to be "first” they want to be "best” they want to be the Dark Alex or DVD Jon or Arnezami of the PS3. They want first dibs and for that, we all suffer. While each group has different skills, I don't think that any scene group is really better than any other.
I think that any group stands an equal chance of finding that hole, because like stumbling around blindly after a treasure, someone is bound to stub their toe on it eventually. But if all groups were to work together, we could pinpoint the treasure, and the beauty of this treasure, is that every PS3 owner wins.

Buying PSP
Yoh,
PSP (Play Station Portable) is the fondest must gadget in the mankind gaming history. This caused by its multipurpose function which turned it from desire to necessity. these are several functions that can be done by this machine:-
1. Playing Games including other platforms such as;
-PSP Games
-PSX
-GB or GBA
-NES
-SNES
-Sega Master
-Mega Drive
-MAME
and the list goes in.............................
2.Listen to Mp3
3.Watching movies or MV
4.Browsing Internet
5.Kill your dog by throwing it.......
6.Besday present...... (gimme one. hehe)
Dont u think u must own one. BUT WAIT!!!! dont just dig out ebay, amazon or wat ever mever site outta there, trying to bid or seek for the craziest or cheapest price ever exist which end up u getting foooled by the glossy n glamorous look of the colourful PSP pictures posted by random guy who 24/7 try to attract u. hahaha. Yes!! u may be getting one console of ur dream after the longest waiting for the douper's warden to send a notice which telling u that ur highly esteemed parcel arrive n busy to tell ur frens that u won the fckng bid or maybe found them lying in the hellish big drain near river flowing around KL ( dunno wat its name), which no one ever want to take them. It will be a big dissapoinment 4 u after finished downloading any PSP games and it just dont wan 2 start loading. hehe. There are some aspects ur cant underlook which was the biggest mistakes 4 me in buying psp aftr all the excitements..
a. U must aware what the latest psp firmware and know whether they are hackable or not. The 1st time i bought my console, I always ended up of oooo... from the seller after explained me about specialty of each firmware. But look out!! dont trust them fully as some of their infos are incorrect. It is advisable that u use funky tech around u and google about the firmware 1st. U shud be able to know at least a bit of them.
b.Dont just go servay the price form every shops exist and buy the cheapest available. U must consider service after sale which i think important as faulty happen sometimes. NB: Of course these advise only applied 4 malaysian seller. I rather go online than go directly to the store (escp Low Yatt)
Now u consider to buy a PSP on9 and getting the uncracked PSP. Dont worry, I'm here to tell some advise on how to crack them..
Take a brief look on this chart...
* You can check what Motherboard your PSP has by using the 'Pandora Battery + Memory Stick' and choosing Hardware Info on the menu.
* If 'Creates Pandora' is NO, then your PSP cannot convert a normal battery into a 'Pandora Battery'
You can check your PSP Firmware version by turning on your PSP going to the settings section on the left,
then scrolling down to 'System Settings' and pressing the 'Confirm' button.
then scrolling down to 'System Information' and pressing the confirm button again.
(The confirm button is the 'X (Cross)' button on USA and Europe PSPs and the 'O (Circle)' button on a Japanese PSP),
You should see three lines of text on the screen, the firmware version is the number listed in 'System Software'.
If you see ANY letters after the System Software number (e.g 2.71 SE-B, 3.40 OE-A, 5.00 M33-1), then you have a hacked PSP already.
If you just have numbers and no letters after the system software, then you PSP has not been hacked.
You can exit the System Information by pressing the 'Cancel' button (see the bottom of your PSP screen)
If your PSP has firmware 3.95 or lower or came from the factory / out of the box with 3.95 or lower,
then there is a 99.9% chance that your PSP is hackable using the 'Pandora Battery + Magic Memory Stick'.
If your PSP came from the factory with version 4.00 or higher system software
installed there is a very high chance it is a new model that cannot be 'hacked' at the moment.
All the newer PSP-2000 models and ALL PSP-3000 models cannot be hacked yet, but there are people working on hacking it.
If 'Pandora' doesn't start on your PSP and you just get a green light then you have the newer model slim which cannot be hacked yet.
I will update this guide as soon as a working "Pandora" program comes out for the new Slim PSP and the Slim and Brite PSP
You will need:
MAKING THE MAGIC MEMORY STICK:
Making a 'Magic Memory Stick' will ERASE all files on your memory stick
Make sure you have copied the files from your memory stick to your computer.
You can make the 'Magic Memory Stick' with ANY official or custom firmware versions.

1. Unzip the downloaded file to your computer.
2. Connect your PSP to your computer.
3. Make a USB connection using your PSP.
4. Run the "RainUltraLiteMMS" program, Windows Vista users will need to right click the program and choose "Run As Administrator".
5. Choose the 'Drive Letter' of your memory stick.
6. Tick the "Format Memory Stick" box.
7. Click the "Make MMS" button.
8. Confirm you want to format the memory stick
(all files on the memory stick will be erased)
9. Wait as it installs, this might take a few minutes.
(The memory stick light on your PSP should be flashing)
10. Once the program has finished, you will see "Make MMS Finished".
You are done making the 'Magic Memory Stick' and can close the Program :)
To turn your 'Magic Memory Stick' into a 'Normal Memory Stick':
1. Insert a 'Normal' Battery and the 'Magic Memory Stick' into your PSP
2. Turn on your PSP and select to the "Settings > System Settings > Format Memory Stick" option
3. Press 'X' and choose 'Yes' to format the memory stick.
4. Your 'Magic' memory stick will be fully erased and will work as a normal memory stick again.
Converting a 'Normal battery' <-> 'Pandora Battery'
If you have a pre-made pandora battery you can skip to the next section
You can only convert a Normal Battery to Pandora Battery with
PSPs Slims that have these motherboards will fail at converting a battery.
If you are not sure what motherboard your Custom Firmware PSP has,
start the battery creator (you can't start the program on official firmwares)
accept the agreement and look at the battery serial number in the top left,
if it is all 0's (0x00000000 autoboot battery) then you have one of the newer
PSP slim motherboards, this means you will not be able to convert a battery.
If your PSP has official firmware you CANNOT convert a battery with it.
(If you try and run the 'Battery Converter' program you will get a "Game Cannot Be Started" error message)
If you don't have a Custom Firmware PSP available, or cannot convert a batterythen you will need to buy a pre-made Pandora Battery.
(Tip: Google search "Dealextreme Pandora", they have a $7usd Pandora Battery, but you need Paypal to buy from them)

(this will backup the battery serial to the batser file on your memory stick)
6. Select "Make Battery Pandora" and press "X"
7. The Battery serial in the top left should change to "0xffffffff"
(If the battery serial doesn't change then your psp can't write to the battery or the battery is not compatible)

9. Scroll down to "Back to mainmenu" and press "X"
10. Choose "Quit" and press "X" and the program will exit

Making a Backup of your PSP NAND Chip (optional)
The NAND chip is the place where the PSP stores all its firmware files and other settings

I recommend to make a Backup of the NAND in case something happens to these settings.
1. Insert the 'Pandora Memory Stick' into your PSP
2. Insert the 'Pandora Battery' into PSP while holding the 'L' button
(You will need to keep the 'L' button pressed until you see the menu below)
3. Your PSP should automatically turn itself on.
4. In a few seconds you should see a few options on the PSP screen if you have a compatible PSP.
If your PSP just stays on a black screen then you probably have a PSP Brite (PSP-3000)
-OR- one of the newer model PSP Slims (PSP-2000) that Pandora is not compatible with,
this means your PSP can't have custom firmware installed on it at the momen5. Select the "NAND Operations" options and press 'X'
6. Select the "Dump NAND" option and press 'X'
7. Wait for the PSP NAND memory to be saved to your memory stick.

15. Make a folder on your computer and paste the "nand-dump.bin" file into the folder.
16. Close the USB Connection and shutdown the PSP.
* Keep the "nand-dump.bin" safe, as you can use it to restore
your PSP back to the way it was when you did the NAND-DUMP.
Installing Custom Firmware using the Pandora Battery & Magic Memory Stick

PSP (Play Station Portable) is the fondest must gadget in the mankind gaming history. This caused by its multipurpose function which turned it from desire to necessity. these are several functions that can be done by this machine:-
1. Playing Games including other platforms such as;
-PSP Games
-PSX
-GB or GBA
-NES
-SNES
-Sega Master
-Mega Drive
-MAME
and the list goes in.............................
2.Listen to Mp3
3.Watching movies or MV
4.Browsing Internet
5.Kill your dog by throwing it.......
6.Besday present...... (gimme one. hehe)
Dont u think u must own one. BUT WAIT!!!! dont just dig out ebay, amazon or wat ever mever site outta there, trying to bid or seek for the craziest or cheapest price ever exist which end up u getting foooled by the glossy n glamorous look of the colourful PSP pictures posted by random guy who 24/7 try to attract u. hahaha. Yes!! u may be getting one console of ur dream after the longest waiting for the douper's warden to send a notice which telling u that ur highly esteemed parcel arrive n busy to tell ur frens that u won the fckng bid or maybe found them lying in the hellish big drain near river flowing around KL ( dunno wat its name), which no one ever want to take them. It will be a big dissapoinment 4 u after finished downloading any PSP games and it just dont wan 2 start loading. hehe. There are some aspects ur cant underlook which was the biggest mistakes 4 me in buying psp aftr all the excitements..
a. U must aware what the latest psp firmware and know whether they are hackable or not. The 1st time i bought my console, I always ended up of oooo... from the seller after explained me about specialty of each firmware. But look out!! dont trust them fully as some of their infos are incorrect. It is advisable that u use funky tech around u and google about the firmware 1st. U shud be able to know at least a bit of them.
b.Dont just go servay the price form every shops exist and buy the cheapest available. U must consider service after sale which i think important as faulty happen sometimes. NB: Of course these advise only applied 4 malaysian seller. I rather go online than go directly to the store (escp Low Yatt)
Now u consider to buy a PSP on9 and getting the uncracked PSP. Dont worry, I'm here to tell some advise on how to crack them..
Take a brief look on this chart...
* You can check what Motherboard your PSP has by using the 'Pandora Battery + Memory Stick' and choosing Hardware Info on the menu.
* If 'Creates Pandora' is NO, then your PSP cannot convert a normal battery into a 'Pandora Battery'
You can check your PSP Firmware version by turning on your PSP going to the settings section on the left,
then scrolling down to 'System Settings' and pressing the 'Confirm' button.
then scrolling down to 'System Information' and pressing the confirm button again.
(The confirm button is the 'X (Cross)' button on USA and Europe PSPs and the 'O (Circle)' button on a Japanese PSP),
You should see three lines of text on the screen, the firmware version is the number listed in 'System Software'.
If you see ANY letters after the System Software number (e.g 2.71 SE-B, 3.40 OE-A, 5.00 M33-1), then you have a hacked PSP already.
If you just have numbers and no letters after the system software, then you PSP has not been hacked.
You can exit the System Information by pressing the 'Cancel' button (see the bottom of your PSP screen)
If your PSP has firmware 3.95 or lower or came from the factory / out of the box with 3.95 or lower,
then there is a 99.9% chance that your PSP is hackable using the 'Pandora Battery + Magic Memory Stick'.
If your PSP came from the factory with version 4.00 or higher system software
installed there is a very high chance it is a new model that cannot be 'hacked' at the moment.
All the newer PSP-2000 models and ALL PSP-3000 models cannot be hacked yet, but there are people working on hacking it.
If 'Pandora' doesn't start on your PSP and you just get a green light then you have the newer model slim which cannot be hacked yet.
I will update this guide as soon as a working "Pandora" program comes out for the new Slim PSP and the Slim and Brite PSP
You will need:
- Windows Operating system on your PC and a user account with 'Admin' rights
- A 64mb or higher Memory Stick PRO DUO (The total size of the Magic Memory Stick files is about 50mbytes)
- A pre-made Pandora Battery (or a custom firmware fat psp and the original psp fat battery)
MAKING THE MAGIC MEMORY STICK:
Making a 'Magic Memory Stick' will ERASE all files on your memory stick
Make sure you have copied the files from your memory stick to your computer.
You can make the 'Magic Memory Stick' with ANY official or custom firmware versions.

Install Instructions:
1. Unzip the downloaded file to your computer.
2. Connect your PSP to your computer.
3. Make a USB connection using your PSP.
4. Run the "RainUltraLiteMMS" program, Windows Vista users will need to right click the program and choose "Run As Administrator".
5. Choose the 'Drive Letter' of your memory stick.
6. Tick the "Format Memory Stick" box.
7. Click the "Make MMS" button.
8. Confirm you want to format the memory stick
(all files on the memory stick will be erased)
9. Wait as it installs, this might take a few minutes.
(The memory stick light on your PSP should be flashing)
10. Once the program has finished, you will see "Make MMS Finished".
You are done making the 'Magic Memory Stick' and can close the Program :)
To turn your 'Magic Memory Stick' into a 'Normal Memory Stick':
1. Insert a 'Normal' Battery and the 'Magic Memory Stick' into your PSP
2. Turn on your PSP and select to the "Settings > System Settings > Format Memory Stick" option
3. Press 'X' and choose 'Yes' to format the memory stick.
4. Your 'Magic' memory stick will be fully erased and will work as a normal memory stick again.
Converting a 'Normal battery' <-> 'Pandora Battery'
If you have a pre-made pandora battery you can skip to the next section
You can only convert a Normal Battery to Pandora Battery with
- Any Custom Firmware Original Fat PSP
- Any Custom Firmware 'TA-085v1' Motherboard Slim.
(If your PSP Slim came with 3.60 firmware then you most likely have a Ta-085v1 Slim PSP)
PSPs Slims that have these motherboards will fail at converting a battery.
If you are not sure what motherboard your Custom Firmware PSP has,
start the battery creator (you can't start the program on official firmwares)
accept the agreement and look at the battery serial number in the top left,
if it is all 0's (0x00000000 autoboot battery) then you have one of the newer
PSP slim motherboards, this means you will not be able to convert a battery.
If your PSP has official firmware you CANNOT convert a battery with it.
(If you try and run the 'Battery Converter' program you will get a "Game Cannot Be Started" error message)
If you don't have a Custom Firmware PSP available, or cannot convert a batterythen you will need to buy a pre-made Pandora Battery.
(Tip: Google search "Dealextreme Pandora", they have a $7usd Pandora Battery, but you need Paypal to buy from them)

fortmatting computer for beginner.
Hi. Its been a long time since my last upd8. Actually I feel boring after watched pokemon so im gonna post some stuff. hehe
It is as simple as ABC to format them.
1. Need driver to format either desktop or laptop. usually it supplied as u buy a new machine. If they gave u any disc when u bought them, take them from ur laptop bag/box and read what written there. It is usually driver or guide cd. Sometimes the driver included in the OS cd (for original OS) If not, its not a big matter anyway. just google them. type in your laptop's brand, model and ur os. there are several websites provide this for free. The most easiest way is to go to ur manufacturer website n find driver under the section of ur machine.
2. Preparation of OS cd. It depends on the OS u want to install. Here are the list of OS together wif links 4 download..

After finished burning part, just backup any important data in your computer somewhere. The next step rather simple but take may take alot of times. Just insert the burned DVD into ur machine and then restart your computer. After the bios page, the black screen will appear and showed something like thi:-
" Press any buttons to boot up from your disc"
not exactly like that. But im very lazy to do the screen capture. hehe. lmao..
Sometimes that page didnt appear. So just restart ur pc again. During the bios page, press F2 to enter the bios configuration, go to boot section and change the boot priority. Just move up the cd drive to the 1st. This should fix everything. Just restart n press any button during that black screen appear.
U will come across screen asked you to choose drive for the os to be installed. just choose drive C and follow instruction given. Thats all. Based on my experience, I always thought formatting would be very hard. But after i gave my 1st shot, It rather simple. hehe. try urself. just post any questions in comment section. Sorry 4 my lousy english. hehe. =,.,=
