    Just go HERE and follow this guide.

    After you have created the Magic memory Stick + Pandora battery use it on both your Uncles and your PSP to update it to 3.71 M33-2 then update to 3.71 M33-4 using the provided extra files in the guide.

    why should i use it on my uncles, he doesnt want/need a pandora battery, and to be honest i wanna leave it as it is now (1.5), dont wanna make drastic changes to his psp anymore, unless he askes me to.


    +
    I follow this right;

    PANDORA GUIDE: THOSE THAT HAVE 1.50 FIRMWARE PSP

    and is downgrading it to 3.71-M33 very good, (would it be better to jus downgrade it to 1.5 or a small number like that).

    I dont wnana get 3.71m33 and then find out i cant do something with the 3.71-M33 that i would be able to with something like a 1.5.

    (Sorry if its confusing)

    Yes the reason I said to update to 3.71 M33-4 on both PSP's is due to 1.50 not playing most of the PSP games. You need a higher firmware requirement.

    Just follow the guide and make sure after using the Pandora Battery + Magic memory Stick to get to 3.71 M33-2 you run the 3.71 M33-4 update.

    As to the 1.50 guide question. Yes use that guide to create the Pandora Battery.

    it isn't that hard if you just follow the guide I provided.

    Oh, thank you, now i understand.


    the idea of the guide is i use my uncles psp (but with my battery) through out the guide and then at the end, i jus insert the newly modified battery back in my psp?

    that bit confuses me, sorry i no it might stupid, but its not clear on which psp/battery i should be using, mine or my uncles (the 'other' psp)

    Im so sorry i have annoyed you

    Just follow the guide it is idot proof.

    For the Pandora Part use this guide...

    PANDORA GUIDE: THOSE THAT HAVE 1.50 FIRMWARE PSP

    Go to Game Menu Memory Stick and run the Pandora Battery Creator.

    Press triangle to backup the battery eeprom. The PSP will then reboot to XMB.

    Run the Pandora Battery Creator again via Game Menu Memory Stick and press X to convert the Battery to service mode. The PSP will reboot to XMB. Now turn off the PSP and do the below.

    DO THE BELOW PART ON BOTH YOUR PSP AND YOUR UNCLES

    Place the Magic memory Stick in the PSP then place the Pandora Battery in. A menu will come up choose X so it install 3.71 M33 to the PSP (It actually will install 3.71 M33-2).


    AFTER BOTH PSP's HAVE 3.71 M33-2 INTSALLED DO THE BELOW TO CONVERT YOUR BATTERY BACK TO NORMAL...

    After the custom firmware is installed take out the Battery and plug the PSP in via AC Adapter and turn the PSP on (without the Battery inserted).

    After the PSP boots to XMB place the Battery into the PSP and go to Game Menu Memory Stick and select OS Pandora Battery Tool.

    You will get a warning screen just press X to get to the Main Menu. When the Main Menu comes up go to "flash only serial from mso:/eeprom.bin"

    Go to Quiet Now and it will exit to the XMB. Now turn off the PSP and unplug it from AC Adapter. Now Take out the Battery then re-insert the Battery replacing the battery cover and use as normal now..

    One more thing, (again im so sorry), the way i read the guide, i dont see why i need another psp, as there is no kind of switching (of batteries or psps) involved. Surely im wrong/not seeing something

    Remember, i have 3.71, i think the guide will only come in use for my uncles psp (ver 1.5).

    OMG, i think i just got it.


    at the beginning i use my uncles psp/battery but with MY memory stick.



    the data and everything will be stored in the memory stick. and in the end when i insert my memory stick into MY psp, the battery should be modified.

    Take the Battery out and unplug the AC Adapter.

    Then Plug the AC Adapter back in and turn the PSP on.

    You installed 3.71 M33-2 to both PSP correct?
