So I picked up a slim at the store today, and I'm all ready to try a pandora mod on it. I took a look at sicdude's downgrade guide above, but found his description of the downgrade process a little vague.
For instance, what are the "C+D Team tools?" I used a program called "Pandora's Battery GUI" to make the magic memory stick for my fat PSP. Will this work for the slim as well?
Also, he talks about a pandora_slim and pandora_slim% directory, Should I be downloading these somewhere?
I'd really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to start this process.
Check out that guide, see if that isn't a bit better. Just download the file in the guide to make a MMS. Pop it in with a pandora battery and follow the guide (there's also directions on the screen for each step).
Alright...sounds a bit sketchier if there's no screen to go by, the one I posted has a menu to go by. Either way good luck, as long as you follow the directions I'm sure it'll work fine.
Originally posted by Sabith: I actually found this while I was waiting. It looks like it's been used a couple times successfully, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
Is it true that slims can't run 1.50 official firmware? I thought I read that somewhere.
That is true...slim's cannot run the 1.50 firmware. You can run the 1.50 kernal (which eneables you to use homebrew designed for the fat PSP) on a slim though, but you will need to use the Time Machine made by DaX.
well, I put the pandora battery in, and tried to start the m33 install, but the light only flickers for a second then the PSP shuts down. I don't know if this is because I've got the wrong software on the memory stick or if the battery's not charged enough, but I think I'm gonna give the method you suggested a try, Nser. Being able to see what's going on would be very helpful in this situation :P

yeah, just picked it up today... well, yesterday now, it's after midnight. I already switched it back to Sony official FW and I'm gonna go exchange it tomorrow. Too bad though, I wanted to play more Crisis Core on it tonight.
