I made the battery

But I can't find the files

I don't have msn.

Anybody found them using google? Any search tips?

If you use Yahoo (like me), you can add and chat to MSN users.

hailrazer said "PSp Slim with a Slim battery with pin #5 unsoldered." ! What ?? A PSP SLIM BATTERY ?!
Can anyone confirm this ? I thought Slim batts could not ever ever be converted.

Does it look the same on the inside ?

Then you should login from meebo.com (or similar web portals).

I think iam7805 also uses AIM.
And check your inbox.

I've sent you a PM.

Again. Does anyone have the guts to desolder the pin from a Slim battery ?

Iam has aim. But he's never on cause his computer didn't work with it or something.

ok. I downloaded the files to the MS and when I put the modded battery in nothing happens. Green light but nothing else.

What gives?

Here's a PDF version of the tutorial. I modified it a little, hope you don't mind.

BatteryTutorial.rar

cw3383: Read the damn readme ! That's why it's there.

Edit: I have a question. Do we need the 1.5 update at the root of the MS, or the 3.40/3.50 ? Or does it install 3.71M33 just like that ? Thanks for the files btw.

Not sure what I am doing wrong... I lifted the correct pin in the battery...

I followed these steps for the files...

1. Extract the RAR archive to C:\Pandora\

2. Open a command prompt by clicking [Start]-->[Run], then type "cmd" and hit [OK].

3. Type "cd C:\Pandora"

4. Make sure that the MS is not open in a window and type:
"format X: /fs:fat32" (Replace X with the drive letter of your MS)
This does not always work on the first try... repeat as needed.

5. Type "msinst X msipl.bin" (Replace X with the drive letter of your MS)

6. Copy the contents (not the folder itself!) of C:\Pandora\ROOT to the root directory of the MS

7. Your done! Use the Memory Stick as a standard Universal Downgrader.
For instructions on how to do this, visit Dark Alex's website.

And Nothing!!

Here is a screenshot of the file structure of my memmory stick pro duo...

Any Ideas?

Basically, you need to put the msinst.exe + msipl.bin files, AND the "ROOT" folder in "C:\Pandora\".

- Type "cd C:\Pandora"
- Type "format X: /fs:fat32"
- Type "msinst X msipl.bin" From the screenshot provided it would seem your PSP's drive letter is E: ! So you'll use E: instead of X: ...

Then you copy the files from "C:\Pandora\ROOT" to the root directory of the MS.

I'm also assuming that you need the msipl.bin file at the root of the MS. Donno... I'll try it tomorrow.

Tried all that. I put the battery in and nothing. Just a green light

Can you take a screenshot of what happens after you enter the msinst command and hit Y to write the file?

This is what I was thinking.... It never asked me "are you sure Y/N?"

Could this be the problem? And why wouldnt it ask?

getting the screenshot.....

Ok, post a screenshot of what happens right after the command then.
