Hello! Quick question, if I may?

[Cottage Cheese]

Now, 3.90. As far as what it was before... I'm not sure.

Well you could hard mod your phat's battery, if you feel comfortable doing so.

[Cottage Cheese]

Well, if the Slim came out of the box with a firmware lower than 3.95/4.05, it can definitely be hacked.

Would I be able to find out what firmware it had?

By the way, to both of you, thank you for putting up with all of my questions. I'm really glad you are nice enough to try to help me out.

[Cottage Cheese]

But... It wouldn't work like a normal battery then, would it? And, also, would FFT be the only game I could mod with it, or could I hack others?

[CidIII]

You could probably take it apart and look at the motherboard, I wouldn't recommend it.

You going to have to hard mod a battery unless you can buy a pandora off of the Internet.

*EDIT*

You're modding your PSP so you could hack anything you wanted. And the modded battery could still work depending on how well of a job you do.

I think it's fairly easy to not destroy it because there's a new method where you can rebridge a wire with graphite from a pencil.

Oh, man... You would have to walk me through play by play, peeking over my shoulder every step of the way. I'm not sure if I'm qualified... I'd end up screwing it up! How difficult is this process, exactly?

[CidIII]

You just open you battery carefully, scrape a wire and your done.

[Cottage Cheese]

Sure, make it SOUND easy... lol Will you help me?

[CidIII]

I could, I guess.

I'd focus on getting your Phat battery open without f'ing it up first though.

Once you have that done then I can help you.

[Cottage Cheese]

How do I open it?

[CidIII]

Most people say, you can use a thin piece of sturdy hard plastic and pry it open by rubbing it on the sides.

I, personally, have never been able to do this, I usually use a razor blade and gently scrape the sides of the battery and it takes forever to break the seal.

I'd try the plastic method first, there's videos on youtube I'm sure, see if you have luck and are able to pry it open.
