Hi! First post guys! I figured I'd help those who can't seem to get their old 1.5 apps working on 4.01! First off, you MUST have custom firmware! If you do, skip to step 3.
(if your slim battery isn't a pandora one, it's covered in step 4)
Step 1. OK, I'm assuming that you have Official Firmware, and I'm assuming it's pretty recent (don't worry, I started out on OFW 3.93). The first thing you need to do is get a Pandora Battery. The cheapest one I found was here (this is also the one I purchased. You also need to make a "Magic Memory Stick". There are a few programs out there that will make it for you, I used Catb50's MMS Creator (note: will only work with Windows XP!) and follow the instructions listed
Step 2. OK, so you have your pandybat and your MMS, now what? there's a few steps involved:
a - take out your SLIM battery (the TOOL battery is a fat one, don't worry, it'll work)
b - put in your MMS, then put your TOOL Battery in (Oh, make sure the TOOL Battery is charged.)
c - You should get an install screen, just press the button required to install, this will take awhile and a TON of files will fly onto your screen, eventually overlapping themselves several times
d - ONLY when it tells you to press X to reboot your PSP is it safe to do so.
Congrats! You're now rocking Custom Firmware! you can replace your Pandora Battery with the PSP Slim battery, take out your mem card then put it back in (just to be on the safe side) and power on your PSP. Check system info to make sure you're on the custom firmware (should be 3.80 M33) This isn't my vid but it should help guide you Vid
Step 3.
So you've got CFW, but no 1.5 kernel and your itching to run some apps, eh? Fear not! Dark AleX made a proggy for you called Time Machine!
This little app will install the 1.50 kernel on your PSP! (see thisvid for detailed instructions)
Step 4.
Alright! you're ready to go! But you can only run the 1.50 with a pandora battery in, and who wants to walk around swapping batteries all the time? I don't, that's for sure! Next step is to make your slim battery a pandora one! first we'll need to dl the software (here
by now you should know how to install the prog, but if you don't just throw it in the Game folder. Run the file from your PSP and pandorize your battery.
Step 5. power off your PSP, take out the mem stick, put it back in, hold the circle button and turn back on your PSP. If you've done all this correctly, and continue to hold circle, the PSP should boot up in kernel 1.5. Congrats! I'll field any questions anyone might have to the best of my ability
