in the beginning of the installer there an error says:
error at address 0x26
what is that mean? thanks
and how would i know if i successfully converted my MS to magic MS and my spare battery to jigkick??? thanks...
by the way, i run the procedure on my 3.52 m33...

OMG. You're so screwed!!! Just kidding. What the program does to the battery is flash the battery's internal EEPROM. Same technology in laptops. What this does is change you're battery's power output source directly to the flash. This is why afterwards is says battery #FFFFFFF (not sure how many F's there are). What it does is it sends an electrical current to the flash and "flashes" it. It erases it. Your PSP by default has to boot to something. The flash always has priority, but with it erased, it will then look to the MS for a Firmware to load. This is what the MS is for. All that process for the MS is basically manually loading a Firmware on it for the PSP to load, but in this case, it "emulates" 1.50. From there, you can either install the 1.50 onto your blank flash or upgrade from there to 3.40OE-A or 3.52 M33-4. I do hope, though, you press TRIANGLE to create a copy of your ORGINAL EEPROM. Once you've backed it up, you can then reinstall your original EEPROM into the battery so you can use it like a normal battery. If you didn't make a backup, when you load the battery homebrew app, press SQUARE. It will generate a false battery #, but at least it will function. However some people are posting errors, and potential flashing of their flash0 on its own (this is very bad) when using this false code.
@crazykid. You seem like a smart guy. See if you can help me out on my thread how to set up my netgear internet connection. Its right below this one. Sorry to barge in mdsn but I needed to find good help

lol. He thinks I'm smart. That's a good one. I work on computers everyday, that's my job. I'm also taking computer programming classes at my local college. Half of the info I told you is IN the technical readme.txt. It explains how the homebrew app works on a tech level. The other half, it simply knowing about the hardware involved in a PSP system. A PSP and a computer are very similar (in its functionality and hardware/software workings). If you can do one, you can do the other. P.S. What thread with help on Netgear? Plese give the link.
@crazykid3 so you mean to say that the error at the start of the pandora's battery creator is aight? thank you so much for your help i appreciate it man...

Well, it's not "aight". The false battery EEPROM code is glitchy ... at best. People are complaining that it loses a charge much faster, some say that it becomes a trickle charge (meaning the charging time easily doubles), or that it will flash your flash, like it was designed for, but without being activated by the app. If it flashes it again and you format your memory stick, you now need a second PSP to reinstall that app and reapply the EEPROM on the battery again. Applying a new EEPROM and restoring it is one thing, but trying to flash that EEPROM and rewritting the code over and over again could lead to corruption, failure, or even a "bricked" battery.

Have you already started the process? Like I said, before you modify the battery press TRIANGLE to make a backup of the original EEPROM. However, if you already started, you then have NO choice but to use the false code. Here is the instructions to installing the files. If you follow these instructions without failure, it will work:
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".
USAGE
- Insert Memory Stick into the PSP
- Remove power cord and insert the JigKick Battery into the PSP.
- A menu appears when the PSP boots. Follow the onscreen information
and instructions.
