I've downloaded iam7805's MS files and sucessfully created the Memory Stick. So now I just insert the pandora's battery and the pro duo and press X? Does his files already contain the 3.71 M33 flash in the MS or do I have to download and modify the contents of the MS? Thanks :o

Dark_Alex released the 3rd version of Pandora yesterday (I think) which contains a major update: SCREEN DRIVER FOR THE PSP SLIM. No more guessing what the PSP is doing. So you're no longer in the dark when you do your thing, and it will also install 3.71 M33-2 (the second update of 3.71 M33).

Hope iam does another pack... In this one you'll need the 1.50, 3.40 and 3.71 update eboots. Check the readme.

For iam: When creating the files, use a PSP with the orignal theme, and no plugins activated. Then run the files from the GAME category. Thanks.

Dont upgrade to 3.71 yet. It's to hard to work with its custom theme's and gameboots. Stay at 3.52 M33-4 for a while.

Hey all, i'm new to the forums...duh lol, anyway. I've been following the PSP hacking scene for a long time but never did anything regarding it for fear of bricking my system, until I found Pandora :D

I was wondering if anyone could PM me the rar with all the necessary files and documents to get my own Pandora Battery and Magic Memory Stick. I want to be able to downgrade/upgrade my system to 3.71 M33 as soon as I can :D

Thanks to anyone that helps me out with this. :D

When I try to power on the PSP slim with the magic memory stick inserted, the green power light comes on for a second or two, then shuts off.

The pandora battery will continue to power the PSP if I boot it up without the memory stick inserted -- it's only when the magic memory stick is in place during insertion of the pandora battery that the PSP will power down.

Ideas? Does this mean that my battery is bad? Or do you think it's the memory stick? I did have a broken + contact on the battery, but I soldered it together and it can both be charged and will power on the psp when there's no memory stick.

Ok, well maybe someone would be able to answer a question of mine then. Does the Memory Stick have to be a standard MS Pro Duo or can it be a High Speed MS Pro Duo? I know it has to be between 256MB and 4GB, but it doesn't mention anything about High Speed or not.

I don't think it matters if its highspeed or not.

Alrighty, thanks. I'm looking to get a 2GB MS Pro Duo and the only ones that I can find at a cheap price are the HS ones...go figure lol.

That High Speed sh!t is just a marketing strategy, but who knows, maybe you DO get more speed (wtf do I care ?). The Point is that it needs to be a PRO DUO. Why ? Because of the golden pin contacts (I think) and the internal architecture.

It has also been confirmed to work with 64 MB Pro Duos not just 256 MB.
