Hellcat Menu-
This is the extended Pandora boot menu.

I have installed everything, but in that menu, I do not have any of the options that are stated at the top of the thread. I do not have the cfw installer... i really need it

nvm, you have to turn off wi-fi. Man none of this stuff is in this tut... sorta sucks to find it all out on your own. But its better then nothing, and i must say its well done. The only think I want to ask is if i use cfw installer , that is the setting where there is no need to downgrade correct?

I swear I've followed all the steps correctly.

Using the multi IPL causes my 2gb stick to become unreadable, is that normal?
My battery is the Sony (i think its official) extended 2200mAh battery, will this work?
When I hold L trigger and pop in the now Pandora battery, the power light will come on solid, and mem & wifi will constantly flash, ive held it down for 5min and still a black screen. Not holding L trigger will cause it to boot to xmb, and the "This Memory Stick cannot be read" message displays.


Fat running 3.40oe

That is not normal-I would try using a smaller memory stick, around 512MB to be safe...It sounds like you have a bad/fake memory stick if you are getting read errors like that. It seems to work enough for the psp to boot into XmB if you dont hold the L trigger button-Maybe start from scratch and remake the memory stick with the installer...Have you had trouble with your memory stick before?

With your 2GB inserted, just go to one of the memory stick icons in the psp menu under MUSIC, VIDEO, or GAME and hit triangle so you get the information sidebar..Press X and it will show your memory stick status..Where it reads "Magicgate:________" it should only say "supported" after Magicgate if its genuine-otherwise if it says "unknown", "unsupported", or is just blank-then you have a fake.

Hi. I've been away from the scene a while. I have a 1.50 psp (phat) that can run homebrew, etc.

Now, I'm re-entering the scene (because my nephew got a new PSP (slim, star wars edition, with 3.60 firmware) and wants his modified too.

So, after doing some reading, I've been able to convert my phat battery into a Pandora's battery. But I've had some difficulty making a "Ultimate Magic Stick." I've tried manually doing it but it tends to hang when I try to do the "extended menu" feature.

So I gave up on that and was trying to do the easy installer. Now, here's my problem. I can't seem to get the .cso to run.

I'm using DevHook .52 on my phat with 1.50 firmware (emulating 3.11)to run the .cso but it gives me an error saying "This game could not be started. The data is corrupt." I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong here.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Use that guide. It will definitely tell you if you got a fake or a genuine memory stick.

My MS said "Unknown", but I knew it wasn't a fake because it's fine and it's been down to 400 MB and mines work.
So I had some search and found out my MS was real.
So I created a guide to help people.

P.S. My memory stick's capacity is 4GB

OK, last question, just to be sure so this what I should do:

- Select step one
- Select step two and select the backup eeprom option
- Select step three and choose what I want
- Select step four and choose what I want

Is this all correct?

That is correct...Just follow the steps in order for the installer-and for step #4 where you can install the add-ons, just install everything to make the most of your memory stick. Otherwise when you go to select the options in either the joker or hellcat menu, you will find they are not available..

Your best bet is to do the following:
-install the Multi-IPL from step #1
-backup your battery's eeprom and create the pandora battery from step #2
-Install the TRIO from step #3 and apply the PEM patch afterwards
-Install everything on step #4
