No no no no no.... Did you read the instructions that were included with it? You don't run the game on official firmware... You have to convert your MS into a magic one by following the instructions and if you don't have custom firmware (or don't know anyone with it), then you have to hardmod your battery to make it Pandora. Look here on how to make one and convert it back.
Here are some instructions:
1. Download and extract the files, copy the 'Pandora371' folder to your Desktop.
* e.g Open My Computer -> Local Disk (C -> and Paste the Pandora371 folder.
* (On windows vista, you might need 'Administrator permission' to copy the folder, press the continue button twice)
2. Turn on your PSP and insert the memory stick you want change to a 'Pandora' memory stick.
3. (optional step, might not be required)
* * Go to the Settings -> System Settings menu on your PSP, select the 'Format Memory Stick' option and press 'X'.
* * *Choose the 'Yes' option and when asked if you want to format the memory stick and press 'X'.
* Note: If you do this using the windows 'format' tool make sure the memory stick is formatted in FAT/FAT16 and not FAT32.
4. For Windows XP Users -> Click 'Start' then 'Run' (or hold the Windows Key and press 'R' on your keyboard)
* In the 'Open' Box type in CMD and press Enter or click OK and a black MS-DOS window will open.
* For Windows Vista Users -> Right click your desktop and create a new shortcut, type in CMD and click next twice.
* Right click on the new shortcut and choose 'Run as Administrator' and choose 'Continue' and a black MS-DOS window will open.
* (The title of the window should read 'Administrator: cmd.exe')
5. Type in: cd Desktop and press Enter
.
6. Now type in cd Pandora371 and press Enter.
7. Type in installipl and press enter and you should see this on the screen:
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code .\ipl_loader.bin
15620 bytes(4 block) readed
Scan Media
Drive 0:Non RemovableMedia
Connect target MsProDuo
8. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable and activate the USB connection while the MSDOS window is open.
9. The Program will auto-detect the memory stick and will ask 'Are you sure? [Y]', press Y.
10. If you see "Write MS BOOT CODE" then the 'Pandora Bootcode' has been written to the memory stick.
* * *You can now close the black MSDOS window since you have the 'bootcode' installed to the memory stick.
Do not format your memory stick after this, doing so will erase the
'Pandora Bootcode' and you will need to make the memory stick again.
If you don't see 'Write MS BOOT CODE' or you get
an error 'too small reserved sectors' then do this:
* (the mspformat program will only work on Windows XP)
***ONLY DO THIS IF AN ERROR OCCURS WHILE WRITING BOOT CODE*** Move to step 11 if MS boot code was successfully written.
* Type mspformat X
(replace X with the drive letter of your PSP e.g 'mspformat E')
* Press 'Y' when you see 'Do you want to continue?'
* After its done you should see Drive Sucessfully Formatted and Partition Moved
* Now close the USB Connection and go back and do step 7 to 10 again.
11. Open 'My Computer -> Local Disk (C -> Pandora371 -> PSP_Memorystick' folder and copy everything inside it to your memory stick.
* *(There are 6 folders and 1 pbp file you need to copy -> ipl / kd / PSP / registry / elf / nandTool_dumps / 371.pbp)
After the files have been copied to the memory stick, you can delete the 'Pandora371' folder from your 'Local Disk (C'
Installing the '1.50 Kernel addon' files to a memory stick
You can't use the pandora memory stick as the 3.71 M33 Update and the 1.50 addon files both need to use the 'PSP \ GAME \ UPDATE' folder.
12. Download and extract the 1.50 addon files.
13. Copy the 150.pbp file and the PSP folder to your memory stick. (e.g Removable Disk (E)
14. Choose 'Yes' when asked to overwrite / replace / merge the files.
15. The '1.50 addon program' will show up as 'PSP Firmware Update 1.50' on the game menu.
Installing the 'XMBLoader' program to non-pandora memory sticks
Do not install the XMBLoader bootcode to the 'Pandora memory stick, it is not needed!
Installing it will overwrite the 'Pandora Bootcode' and you need to make your 'Pandora' memory stick again.
The reason xmbloader is needed is when you turn on the PSP with a Pandora battery it will start from the memory stick.
If there is no program on the memory stick or there is no memory stick inserted the PSP will show a black screen.
To start the PSP in the XMB using the Pandora battery battery you will need to use either the
'Pandora Memory stick' or a Memory stick that has the XMB loader program installed to it.
This program is installed to non-pandora memory sticks to allow them to be used to 'start' the PSP in the XMB when using a Pandora Battery.
1. Download the XMBLoader program and extract it.
2. Copy the 'xmbloader' folder to your computers hard drive -> Local Disk (C:\)
3. For Windows XP -> Click 'Start' then 'Run' (or hold the Windows Key and press 'R' on your keyboard)
* In the 'Open' Box type in CMD and press Enter or click OK and a black MS-DOS window will open.
* For Windows Vista -> Right click your desktop and create a new shortcut, type in CMD and click next twice.
* Right click on the new shortcut and choose 'Run as Administrator' and choose 'Continue' and a black MS-DOS window will open.
* (The title of the window should read 'Administrator: cmd.exe')
4. Type in: CD \ and press Enter, this will take you to your C:\> Drive.
5. Now type in CD xmbloader and press Enter, this will change the folder to C:\xmbloader>
6. Type in install and press enter and you should see this on the screen:
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code .\ipl_ms.bin
2288 bytes(1 block) readed
Scan Media
Drive 0:Non RemovableMedia
7. Connect your PSP to your computer using a USB cable and activate the USB connection.
8. The program will auto-detect the memory stick and will ask 'Are you sure? [Y]', press Y.
If you have multiple memory sticks and want to write the boot code to another memory stick:
Close the USB connection on the PSP, insert the new memory stick and repeat step 6 to 8.
9. Close the black MSDOS window as you are finished installing the xmbloader bootcode.
After the bootcode has been installed to the memory stick, you can delete the 'xmbloader' folder from your 'Local Disk (C)'
