INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Connect the PSP to the PC with the Memory Stick inside via the USB
Connection.
- Format the Memory Stick using any utility.
- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Manually create the PSP/GAME (optionally PSP/GAME150) folders on the
Memory Stick.
- Copy the "battery" and "installer" programs to the PSP/GAME
(optionally PSP/GAME150) folder.
- Copy the 1.50 official updater as UPDATE.PBP to the root of the
Memory Stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Run "installer" through the firmware on the PSP. This application
will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick, as
well as msipl.bin.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msipl" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Execute "battery" application on the PSP to modify the battery.
- Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
and a "JigKick Battery".

IINSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Using the USB connection, connect the PSP with the memory card inserted.
2. Format the memory stick. You can use either Windows Explorer to format the disk, or use the PSP ‘Format Memory Stick’ option
3. Extract the contents of the pandora.zip file to c:\pandora
4. Open a DOS prompt (Start -> Run -> CMD -> )
5. type ‘c:’ type ‘cd c:\pandora\mspformat’
6. type mspformat (in my case W) – ‘mspformat W’
7. Stop the USB connection, and unplug the memory stick (you can leave the cable connected). Seriously REMOVE THE STICK FROM THE PSP
8. Plug the memory stick back in and reconnect to Windows
9. Manually make the directory on the memory stick for PSP\GAME and PSP\GAME150 (GAME150 for custom firmwares like OE)
10. Copy the two directories for each application into either the GAME or GAME150 directory (for me it was GAME150)
11. Download the official 1.50 FW update from http://www.psp-hacks.com/download.php?id=4
12. Extract the update and store it on the root of the MS, named UPDATE.PBP
13. Stop the USB connection and go to the application ‘Pandora’s Battery Firm. Installer’ – this only takes a few moments.
14. ONCE COMPLETED DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP – REMOVE THE MS FROM THE PSP AND POWER THE UNIT DOWN RE-INSERT THE MS AND POWER THE SYSTEM BACK ON
15. Once completed, start the USB connection to the Windows PC.
16. Copy the file msipl.bin from the MS to c:\pandora\msinst
17. from a DOS prompt (referenced above) do the following
18. type ‘cd c:\pandora\msinst’
19. type ‘msinst W msipl.bin’
20. ONCE COMPLETED DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP – REMOVE THE MS FROM THE PSP AND POWER THE UNIT DOWN RE-INSERT THE MS AND POWER THE SYSTEM BACK ON
21. Now, browse over to the MS under games, and run the application ‘Pandora’s Battery Creator’ – I recommend backing up the eeprom of the battery just in case (it’s 1K , you’ve got plenty of space). The steps should be pretty obvious at this point, if you decide to backup the eeprom, you’ll have to re-enter the battery program to update the battery firmware.
22. ONCE COMPLETED DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP – REMOVE THE MS FROM THE PSP AND POWER THE UNIT DOWN RE-INSERT THE MS AND ALSO REMOVE AND RE-INSERT THE (NOW MODDED) BATTERY. POWER THE SYSTEM BACK ON
23.
24. Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
25. and a "JigKick Battery".

In order for the system to actually work, POWER THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY OFF and unplug the battery and MS, plug them back in, and power on, voila you'll see the restore screen.
