Scene developer Yoti has published a video of a work-in-progress unbricker for the PSP, using the Raspberry Pi microcontroller RP2040.
You can now unbrick pretty much any PSP model
Unbricking older models of PSP (PSP 1000) has been a possibility for a long time with the Pandora Battery, but further models became harder to hack, and also to unbrick. Recently, significant progress has been made on hacking/unbricking PSP 2000 and PSP 3000 models though, with the Baryon Sweeper method.
The hardware for this technique is a bit more demanding, as one needs to emulate the encrypted handshake of the advanced unbricking batteries used for that process. In other words, a “simple” pandora battery isn’t enough anymore, you need something a bit more advanced, with some intermediate logic running on a microcontroller.
That’s where Baryon Sweeper comes in. Now, with cheap hardware implementations such as the one Yoti is working on here, unbrickers for all models of PSP are a possibility, as described in the original explanations (source khubik).
Yoti has been a key dev on the Baryon Sweeper method.
While all the documentation is now available to make your own unbricker, it’s nice to see people showcasing implementations here.
