hello fellow afterdawners
been away from the psp scene for a while now so all this pandora battery stuffs new to me.
so, iv followed the guide step by step and everything seems to of gone as it should untill the part saying, "place the magic memory stick in the psp, then place the pandora battery in the psp. you should now gat the pandora menu"
well i dont get anything apart from the normal xmb.
the psp is on 3.52 official.
any ideas? thanx for any help

SUSSED IT, well, think i have

 

I didn't get that menu the first time i tried either. That was because i was using 4gig mms....always use 1gig or 512gig mms then it shud work. Try putting the mms first then pandora and pandora first then mms.

 

Hi guerillaX, really hope you can assist me on this problem.
I'm having PSP version 4.01 as well.

Thank you.

 

i have created a pandora battery using and mms and installed 3.71M33, before i backed up the NAND but while doing this it said something like "bad flash block"... it did go through the whole backup.

Now after installing 3.71m33 but after the sony logo i only get a red background with a clock in the upper right hand corner, i could access the menu by cdepressing SELECT but it seems to freeze after that...

 

didnt u see the DANGEROUS sign besude the option?????????
Anyways backuping nand wasnt neccessary!

 

Brilliant guide. I used it with my own PSP and a datel pandora battery, worked first time, no problems. However, I did have problems with a friend's phat PSP, where when inserting the battery and the mms, the power light would come on but nothing would load from the memory stick. As it turns out, his 1gb sandisk card appears to be incompatible with the process, so I used the 2gb sony card from my psp and it worked just fine. I'm sure it's been reiterated many times in this thread, but if it doesn't work for you, try a different memory card.

 

Ok guys..Hi again. I bought a pandora battery...I did the part with MMS. But when i put them in the psp nothing happens,,It remains a black screen...Help me plz...
Respect,

Can you downgrade from 5.03 ofw using this process?

 

The past few questions can be answered by reading trouble shooting or past post.

 

I followed it step by step.
First time my pc froze lol.
2nd time worked but my psp says " this game cannot be started, the data is corrupted."

This is my very first time messing with a psp.

I'm at the step where I am suppose to go into the game memory stick from the psp and run the pandora installer?

But I can't.

Am I missing something.

Notes
Fat PSP
Running software 5.01 if that helps any.

Thanks in advance.

I know this is a mundane question for you pros though.

 

Read the guide more closely.

 

Ok thanks, missed the trouble shooting

I'm assuming I need a different MS.

What ones/brands work?

I have the Sony brand
memory tick PRODuo
1gig magic gate

 

The MS is not the problem.

Read the Pandora Section for Offical Firmware.

 

Solved

 

followed the guide step by step very good.sorry i mean exellent..i now have cfw-3.71m33-2. i am not understanding the update part very well if someone could explane it in more detail i would be very gratefull as this is the best guide i have found for a newby....

 

Hey sorry guys If Im annoying anyone thanks again for the Guide Larry just one question though everything went smoothly just like the instructions until when i scroll down I see a corrupted data file under the Pandora's Battery Creator of course when i launch Pandora it doesn't work and i get the " The game could not be started 8002014c" message. I got a 4gb sony card. Thanks again.

 

Sorry i forgot to add in Im running 3.95 firm slim psp 3.6 1200 battery thanks again.

 

I think you need to reread the " Creating a Pandora Battery"

It is divided into "3" Sections

Either your on 1.5 firmware, or have CFW, or you have Official Firmware"

If you have Official firmware and are following this guide, you only have "2" Options - either purchase a Datel Tool Battery or Converter.

 

I'm having problems creating a magic memory stick with the "Easy Installer". I followed the instructions to the letter but still having problems. No matter how many times I try the Easy Installer refuse to copy the necessary files to install cfw M33. I've used this method before with the exact same psp and memory stick and it worked flawlessly. So I'm completely baffled as to why its not working now. Last Time i did it was probably about 6 months ago. I'm trying to down grade my psp to a latter version of M33. I'm sure there are other methods of doing it but I felt comfortable knowing i could go back to official firmware with this program. Obviously now i cant because the App wont copy the files over to the memory stick. Can anyone help me get this working?

I have PSP-2001 CFW 5.00M33-6

 

I have one official Sony memory stick that I have to do the mspformat.exe manually by placing that in my C:/ directory and using the cmd in windows xp.
Then the installer works great for me.
