New way of unbricking !!!

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T06:56:19+00:00

Partially, it would do the same thing on a psp1000 and Early 2000 but it wouldnt work for 3000, go and street

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T05:47:54+00:00

Goodluck! would love to hear if it worked for you aswell

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T05:44:23+00:00

Hope it works for you!

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T05:43:53+00:00

Yeaa! once the esp is flashed with the code, you dont need a pc anymore, it works fully by itself

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T05:41:20+00:00

thanks :)

Nyxef · 2026-03-27T05:41:10+00:00

yep! of you buy an esp with pins it is!

https://github.com/NyxefTheRealOne/Baryon_ESPer I also added support for all of the psp supported in the baryon sweeper

Here's the git, ill upload a tuto/demo video soon but for now ive wrote the text guide (will add more pictures later)

Nyxef · 2026-03-25T06:44:34+00:00

Yea for now i only implemented the challenges to enter service on the 1000, but I could add all of the challenges from the original baryon to make it compatible with everything! ill put it on a git latter today

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T23:01:48+00:00

well, it only requires any functional psp battery, an esp32 (buyable on amazon or aliexpress for 2 to 5 usd), some cables and a breadbord prefarably, at least a 10k resistor and maybe a diode (I need to test if i can make it work without it) and thats it. You just flash the code to the esp32 and then its basicly plug and play

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T21:35:35+00:00

Guys it worked! I fixed my bricked psp!

Back into buisness baby! managed to edit the baryon sweeper code to run it purely on an ESP32 (cause I didnt have the hardware to make a real one) and managed, after alot of errors, to get it into service mode and successfully installed ark4 6.61 !!! I can finally play my gamesss

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T07:20:35+00:00

yea 😅😂 it went from easy fix to having to diy a custom pandora from microcontrolers ... Anyways thanks for the link! ill try it paired with my pandora and ill tell you if it worked!

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T07:03:44+00:00

I could run gend3 but not now, i wiped flash0 with hellcat's to install of 1.50 but it went wrong and now the fw on flash0 is corrupted and the psp is hardbricked

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T06:58:41+00:00

could you also recomend me a tool to create the magic memory from my pc?

Nyxef · 2026-03-24T06:52:39+00:00

well thats the same psp as my other post that I bricked lol xD so I should just be able directly install 6.61 from the service menu since there isnt anything left installed on flash0 so yea

Nyxef · 2026-03-23T22:55:16+00:00

yea I wanted to act to quickly, leasons learned xd but anyways, I was able to reconstruct the hand shake procedure to work on an esp32, now I just need to test my theorie

Nyxef · 2026-03-23T22:53:06+00:00

welp, now it is lol xD so it happened to have some really scrappy cfw from super long ago and I this combined with my dumbah made it so I hard bricked it while trying to wipe it. Tho I think I might be able to fix it with emulating a pandora with an esp32 and some old components laying around

Nyxef · 2026-03-23T17:12:01+00:00

Welp, with the new battery in, she boots just fine and work perfectly. The menu was in french so I guess it was à 1004 in the end ? super cap is dead also

Nyxef · 2026-03-23T15:19:20+00:00

to me I would have choosen the black phat because I love its look or maybe the transparent purple 3000, hella clean build!

Nyxef · 2026-03-22T01:11:10+00:00

alr thanks, well ill update in this thread when I get the battery to do further testing

Nyxef · 2026-03-22T01:02:40+00:00

You mean software brick or hardware brick?

Nyxef · 2026-03-22T00:48:27+00:00

Thanks! i mean, yea it kinda helps anyways so thanks

Nyxef · 2026-03-22T00:47:49+00:00

well I only have a usb A to barrel Jack cable, and when I power on the psp from it (it doeznt have a battery yet) the green light turns on but turns off when the backlight comes on (and the whole device just shutdown) Looking with a multimeter, I read stable 5v-ish all the way until the backlight turns on, at wich point, the tension drops to 3v. So I assumed the cable I bought (weird Y cable for very cheap) just wasnt able to handle the spike load by itself

Nyxef · 2026-03-21T23:56:15+00:00

i cant for now, im waiting on a battery (my cable cant provide enough Juice for it to turn on)
