Hi to everybody,

I searched all the available forums and tried to figure out how to install a cfw to my psp but i'm really stucked. I bought a Slim PSP that has an official 3.71 fw 2 weeks ago, but still don't know what to do ...

After reading so many stuff I ordered a Datel Slim Tool battery, charged it to 100% and used Total Newbie Installer to create a magic stick...

Now (I hope) I have an ms with 3 folders in root (kd, PSP and registry) as well as msipl.bin and 371.PBP... I have no idea what are registry and kd folders are for and in PSP folder i have Game folder and in Game folder I have 3 more folders, despertar_cementerio (i guess it has the version 2, size matches), pandora_battery and pandora_battery% folder...

folder structure is like this
root -
---|kd (folder)
---|PSP (folder)
---|GAME (folder)
------|despertar_cementerio (folder)
------|pandora_battery (folder)
------|pandora_battery% (folder)
---|registry (folder)
---|371.PBP (22.5 MB (23,647,653 bytes)) (file)
---|msipl.bin (236 KB (241,664 bytes)) (file)

now my questions,
* do I need all these folders or do I have to delete some of them?
* is this the right structure for an magic ms?
* as i understood it's best to get a copy of nand before installing something new, is it made by pressing [] (i assume it's a square) before pressing X to install cfw, and do i have to make a copy that nand file from ms to my comp before doing anything?
* do I need to know anything else

sorry for my questions but I'm really confused, and i promise I will make a guide of my installation if it's ok

(PSP slim ofw 3.71, datel slim tool battery, sony memory stick pro duo 2 gb)

thanks for any help.

(i need all of them)

(yes this is the right structure)
* as i understood it's best to get a copy of nand before installing something new, is it made by pressing [] (i assume it's a square) before pressing X to install cfw, and do i have to make a copy that nand file from ms to my comp before doing anything?
(still have no idea)

wrong. psp slim does not support 1.50 homebrew. anything in 3.xx kernel works.
