How To Make A Pandora Battery
by Yanko693

ok since the readme is a confusing piece of crap i thought id make this noob friendly guide.

Materials

bricked psp
homebrew capable psp
battery
memorystick pro duo of 256mb or more
pandora files [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
1.5 eboot files [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Step One

First put the memorystick in the homebrew capable psp and connect it to the pc via USB. go to my computer right click it and format it. Now in the pandora files that you should of extracted by now run the "mspformat" program opening command prompt and typing cd desktop/mspformat x.this is assuming the desktop is where you extracted mspformat. lol and X is the letter of your psp drive. Disconnect from USB and restart the psp.

Step Two

Reconnect to USB and make this folder path on the memory stick "MS0/psp/game150" for firmwares (OE M33 LE) or to "MS0/psp/game" for firmware 1.5. Inside put the "installer" and "battery" folders. on the root of the memory stick put the 1.5 eboot which you should of extracted also. disable USB.

Step Three

Run the installer app on the psp. Now enable USB again and run "msipl" on the pc which came in the pandora files. this will write the IPL to the memory stick.

Congradulations you have a magic memory stick and Unbricking Battery

Usage

Put the memory stick in the bricked psp. now insert the unbricking battery and powerup. a menu should appear, just follow the onscreen directions.
Welcome to a limited 1.5

Notes

This is not full 1.5 so upgrade to customfirmware immediatly
only memory stick pro duos work not memorystick duos

Dowgrading a psp with a pandora battery

once you have the pandora battery made just shutdown your psp to be downgraded all the way and do it the same way as unbricking.

im 99.99% sure it works on all firmwares higher than 1.5. it would be easier to use the 2.71 downgrader tough if possible.

Anybody know why i keep getting a damn Write Error in the cmd everytime i try to use mspformat.exe

btw Im on vista

[kagenoou]

is it a must that u use a 1.5 firmware to run the programs. the other threads all maintain that they want a 1.5 psp to do that.

when i write and try to run cd desktop/mspformat G i get this

Invalid Switch -mspformat
