this is a con - By: B. R. Lewis, 03 Apr 2008 
this is a complete rip off if any of you retards spent five minutes reading about hacking psp's you would realise that you can make that battery in five minutes using just software & essentiallly copying & pasting wit your pc. this is completely free. that psp battery tool is just an ordinary psp battery. how do you think the technitions that work for sony get the psp into service mode? they use the battery in the psp. alll batterys that are supplied with the psp can do this because that is what they are designed to do!
great - By: Mr. Simon Nicholas Marshall, 25 Mar 2008 
dont criticise this item. its only half the package because to provide it alll to you is breaking the law. Anyone with a bit of common sense can find what they need & if you brick your psp, memory stick or not this helps. People on ebay are charging £30 plus for such items! I started trying to mod a battery & since it nearly resulted in me severing an artery with a knife when opening it I decided to play safe.
If you cant manage with this then you shouldnt be putting CFW on as it will only end in tears!
does exactly as advertised - By: ben coupland, 13 Mar 2008 
This tool does exactly as advertised, it won't mod your PSP for you, but with a little internet research, a bit of patience, & following the instructions EXACTLY, you can CFW your PSP in 10-15 minutes. i had no issues whatsoever.
giving this anything less than top marks is stupid.
does what it should do - By: Mr. S. Osman, 10 Mar 2008 alll it does it puts your psp into service mode for custom firmware. this works on both psp fat & slim (ive tryed both)(for slim you have to hold the battery into battery socket, it still works.thats alll
Does what it needs to do - By: P.Davey, 10 Mar 2008 This battery works well for my switch to custom firmware. I was always anxious about the risks, but once I did some research & found that this was a good thing to use I went ahead & bought one, & highly recommend the TOOL battery to anyone wanting to run homebrew.
I was on 3.72 official firmware & didn't even downgrade to 1.5, just went straight to 3.71m33! However, I was helped with this process by talking to someone over the internet, & so I am thankful to them. If you are confused at alll about what to do, you should reallly make sure you know as much as you can- it was alll very confusing to me at first! but now I am reaping the rewards. PS1 games, Mega Drive games, SNES games & more!
I used a 4gb stick & made it "magic". I would recommend around this size to get more games on. ps1 games run normal speed it's great, & putting them on is very easy. You might think playing these old games on a PSP is strange, but it is perfect. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on PSP- can't argue with that!! :D
