It's probably fake, press triangle on any of the memory stick icons under PHOTO/GAME/MUSIC/VIDEO and go to Information. If it says MagicGate Unknown or Unsupported then it's fake.

Q2:No my PSP can't access Recovery menu , So What ?

A:This means it's full bricked . Follow this guide to make a Pandora battery and magic memory stick to unbrick your PSP . Click here

But check this first . it might not be full bricked :if you can here the start up , backlight fuse has blown. way to verify hold psp to a light at an angle will be able to see the xmb faintly.

Q:Umm , what's difference between softmodding and hardmodding

pandora ?

A:To hardmod a battery to pandora , you need to open it and make it pandora from inside and that's difficult . To softmod one , you have to find a friend with a hacked PSP which can make pandora for he to softmod your battery to Pandora

Q:After i make a Pandora and a Magic memory stick , can i use them as normal battery and normal memory stick

A:If you battery was soft modded to Pandora , you can softmod it back to normal through the same program you used to convert it to pandora. and then format your memory stick to be normal again. If your battery was hardmodded , then you can't convert it back to normal except in a hard way , so use the magic memory stick maker you used to inject ipl to all of your memory sticks to boot with your pandora battery

2-Fixing analog stick problems

Q1:My analog stick keeps on moving alone without i touch it !

A:Does it move in the same directions each time ?

Q:Yes

A:Your solution is Joy Sens . Click here to download it

Instructions :

1-Extract it and put it in your PSP as a normal plugin

2-Then follow this semi automatic way to make your analog stick act as normal.

Quote from the Readme :

- Move the analog stick to the top-left and hold it a few seconds, then release slowly until it's centered and don't

touch it anymore. Press NOTE+SQUARE,

- Move the analog stick to the bottom-right and hold a few seconds, release slowly until centered. Press NOTE+SQUARE.

- Repeat these steps until the center point has been found correctly (optimally, this is the mean value of the axes

minimal and maximal value when the stick isn't touched).

Default value is <0,0>.

[/QUOTE]

The way above worked perfectly fine with me

Q2:My analog doesn't respond to UP/DOWN/TOP/BOTTOM

A:Use Joy sens to increase the sensivity .

Hold NOTE and Click on R trigger to increase and L trigger to decrease

Increase to 200%, if same increase to 300% , if same increase to 400% (MAX)

If it doesn't work then try this way :

Quote from the readme :

Q: My analog stick doesn't recognize input to the left/right/top/bottom!

A: Quote from the readme

Check the first line of the info output when pressing the analog stick in that direction. If the analog stick scales correctly

you should see values -128 (up or left) or 127 (down or right) as the first (left or right) or second (up or down) coordinate.

So if you move your stick to the left, you should see <-128,*>, to the right you should see <127,*>, pulling up you should see

<*,-128> and down you should see <*,127>. If the values are smaller (bigger) your analog stick is messed up and you need to adjust

the min/max values in the ini file to represent the minimal/maximal values you get when moving the stick to the extremes.

Let's say you get values <-128,-101> to <96,127> then edit the ini file and set min to <-128,-98> and max to <93,127> or equal.

You should decrease the non maximum values a bit (by 2-3 is good in most cases) since those values are not 100% correct, so

you might still end up with unresponsive input with the exact values.

Now restart the plugin (by starting a homebrew/game or restarting the PSP) and check if analog stick is responsive again. If not

try to decrease the values further until it is.
