Release Notes:
Here you have it, an all-in-one solution for your Pandora Needs.

This program is designed to prepare your PSP Memory Stick to be used with the Pandora Battery. Unfortunately this program can not change your Battery to Pandora, however it will copy programs to the Memory Stick in order for you to do this yourself.

I hope you enjoy this new release...

WARNING: THIS PROGRAM WILL FORMAT AND INSTALL THE IPL LOADER TO THE DRIVE LETTER YOU SELECT AS YOUR PSP DRIVE, SO MAKE SURE IT IS THE CORRECT DRIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMATTED USB HARD DRIVES ETC...

You can install it one of two ways:

1) Use the installer from my app. This will copy the 5.00 M33-3 installer + 5.00 Eboot to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE, where you will need a PSP with atleast 3.71 M33 to install.

2) The Recovery Flasher by hellcat (which is in the Pandora Support tools) can now flash 5.00 M33-3 to your PSP. This is done by accessing the ELF Menu and selecting it (when its installed ofcourse).

Noob here, but wants to learn

I have made a Pandora Battery from a PSP PHAT battery. The battery works since the screen turns black and the light is green, but how can I downgrade it from official FW to 1.50 CFW? Do I even have to downgrade it so low? Since the official FW is 3.60, can I downgrade it to something like 3.40 M33?

*Note: I want to downgrade my PSP Slim, 2000 - Edition. Also, I'm running Vista.*

Honestly you don't need to downgrade, just upgrade to 4.01 M33 using DC7, then if you want install 5.00 M33 after that.

More problems...

Ok, I did what you said. I used Rain's UltraLite MMS Maker for 4.01 M33-2. I downloaded the 4.01 M33-2 EBOOT file and had it ready. When I pressed for it to create the MMS, it ran an error which read "There was an error copying the 4.01 Update to memory stick. Try again or copy the update to the memory stick renamed 401.PBP". I'm not sure if it's the program itself, if I'm supposed to rename the file, or if it's my OS. Should I rename it and put it directly on the Memory Stick myself? What do you recommend?

*Note: By the way, Injecting the TM IPL alone works successfully. Also, the Memory Stick I'm using is a Sony Duo Pro w/Magic Gate (2GB). The program's creator recommends SanDisk, but would the Sony do?*

Look at this thread pls.... http://forums.exophase.com/showthread.php?p=52977#post52977

Would the problem be with my OS as im using vista. I noticed in other areas on the net people say that it works on vista??

I am going to attempt this same install using an XP and will post back on my thread the result. In the meantime if there is anyone viewing this thread that can offer me any advice I would be most grateful.
