Hey I'm using my friends XP computer right. I tried a total of three guides (all from here) and i can't seem to get custom firmware. I installed the stuff for my PSP and i can't seem to get it to work.
Check to see if the mem stick is not a fake. Game/Mem/triangle/information. If it says supported its real.
Next try formating the card in the psp and start over making the MMS. Also make sure the pandoras is fully charged.
You could also try putting the psp in the hold position, place pandoras in, if doesn't boot to pandoras menu, take out battery place back from hold and try again. This process changes the boot sequence to slim if it doesn't take the first time.(depending on which installer your using.)

I had the same stuff happening to me and i litterally JUST got it working, I had bought an extra used battery from ebgames when i got my system and I pandora'd it first try (woo)...but when i made the magic memory and inserted the battery it was just a black screen, I tried putting in the memory stick first then battery...battery then memory nothing...then i read about putting my psp on hold and inserting....thats the only thing thats worked .. wooo i was on 3.71ofw
cause i'm guessing its a problem with the battery
or maybe its a fake ,check if magic gate is supported by your ms
and have a look at this guide in regards to the pandoras battery

yo dude go to www.psp4noobz.com and download the UPTinstaller and your psp will be running custom fimrware in no time but remember to make a backup oof your nand..
Use the Universal Pandora Magic Stick. This is a cso file that you can create a magic memory stick and pandora battery. I tried this over and over on my PSP and it works like a silk.
