Worked a treat turned an official sony battery into my jigkick and have a spare 1gb Sandisk to use for it. I used it to downgrade an official 3.40 to 1.50. Big thanks to the team (although I have Lumines in the post I bought it last week lol).
If you don't mind here's the guide I followed:

Yeah, I replied to that assuring people I've tried it successfully. It helps to have some positive reports in a thread like that, especially if it's by a dev like myself.
I got a new 2200 maH battery for everyday usage (it's charging right now), and converted my older 1800 maH battery into a Pandora battery. I also got a 256 MB Sony Pro Duo stick that is strictly for Pandora. It has all the files, a backup of the battery eeprom, and a backup of my nand (renamed to nandimage.flash as needed to write it back). So now I have a battery and stick ready in case I brick my PSP messing around with stuff - which is good as my work on the IdStorage does have the potential to brick. I always worried about that. Now I can rest easy. 8)

really nice job they've done.
I've got a question. can i put the files for flashing M33 in the same into my "magic MS" so i wouldn't have to change MS through downgrading and flashing, or putting it in will just mess up my MS?
Thanks in Advance.
EDIT: A 64mb Pro Duo (be sure to format into FAT) can put all the stuff in. Just to tell everyone so you won't have to use too much money on a 512/256mb.

Yes, you can put any files you want into it. What makes the stick special are the two Windows programs included - the first formats the stick with empty space before the start of the partition; the second writes the custom IPL into that empty space. The rest of the stick is a normal FAT formatted memstick that can hold anything. Pandora expects some things to be in certain places, like the UPDATE.PBP file in the root of the memstick, but as long as all the required stuff is there, you can put extra stuff onto the stick as well.

the original release thread over at n00bz website says it'll work with any battery!

The downgrade option is supposed to automatically handle TA-082 and TA-086 PSPs properly. I haven't tried it to check that, but from remarks some of the authors made, I gather they're using the same patch to key 5 the NOOBZ 3.50 downgrader uses.

Just wanted to share my experience. Had a full brick PSP and a semi-brick PSP. We used Pandora on the full brick and got it to 1.50 from there did an official 3.52 upgrade. Then we downgraded back to 1.50 via Pandora and while running the 3.52 official update we yanked the battery to brick it. Pandora fixed it again (this thing is too sweet!). From 1.50 we have to put 3.40OE because for some reason 3.52M33 doesn't take. But once the OE is on the 3.52M33 does on with ease. Both these PSP are the older motherboards but will be doing a new board tomorrow. Whoot!
Words do not say enough to express thanks. Donations forthcoming!

Edit: Just did a PSP with the new motherboards and this Pandora kit smartly patched it. Another flawless upgrade to M33!

Copy the msipl.bin to the msinst folder on your hard drive.
Then go into the command line, enter the msinst folder and type the command:
msinst O msipl.bin
where "O" is your memory stick drive.
