Before you start reading,if the psp you want to downgrade is a slim then this guide wont help you and if you tried it will end up with a brick :sneaky2:

Are you a PSP homebrew newbie and found the guides here a bit complicated(though they are very helpful if you understand them) so here is a guide on how to make a pandora set including a magic MS with 1.50 data and a pandora battery.
Requirments:
1)a psp running a custom firmware(Must be 3.xx OE or m33 at least otherwise you have to upgrade that psp before starting)
2)1 original psp battery
3)A psp charger
4)Some good luck :smile:

-First of all Format the Memory stick(format it with the psp running custom firmware) that you want to change it into a magic memory card,to do so go to settings from the XMB then system settings then format memory stick then shutdown the system.

-Reboot the system(one that is running custom firmware) While holding the R button and check that game folder is set to 3.xx kernel then select exit

-Download Hellcat's pandora program (http://exophase.com/files/psp/pan3xxr3b.rar) then extract the folder using Winrar(winzip MAY corrupt the folder) and copy the folder called pan3xx(through USB cable,to the formated MS) to X:/PSP/GAME(where x stand for the letter of the psp drive)

-WARNING:THIS STEP WILL DELETE ALL DATA,BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE IT:Run the program and press R+X then R+L+X then exit the program(press triangle to do so) and reboot the system

-Connect the psp with the psp and create folder PSP and inside it create game(Coz all folders are now wiped)

-Download the 1.50 update (http://exophase.com/files/psp/150.PBP) and copy it to the root of the memory stick(i.e not inside any folder)

-Rename the 150.pbp file(that you have just copied) to UPDATE.pbp

-Recopy the folder pan3xx to X:/PSP/GAME(it should be wiped after the MS formatting)

-Run the program,Press X And when asked to press L+X do so then Exit the program

-Reboot the system

-Run the program again and press O to convert the battery to a pandora

-Exit the program

Now you have a magic MS and a Pandora battery,insert them in the PSP which is running a official firmware,the system will automatically boot up press X to begin the installation and X when finished the installation.

Now this system is downgraded to 1.50 which through it you can upgrade to any custom firmware you like :smile: :biggrin: :laugh: 8)

Not to bad man, Perhaps a bit redundant to make a guide for an easy installer. But I didnt see any issues glancing over it. Everybody has to start some where. Keep up the good work.

Nice guide, but should be noted that firmware 1.5 cannot be installed on a Slim.
