are you current using what CFW? base in my own experience... 3.52 m33-4 is the stable one... but, there are some games that will not work in that FW... so you need a popsloader. btw im using 3.71 m33-4 im using it because of the multidisc which work so fine to my psp... but in the end its your own choice...

I try to upgrade to the m33 custom firmware and all I'm getting is nothing but "the game could not be started".

Any ideas?

Yeah, I can't even make a pandora battery. Tried a couple of guides, one battery just died, the other fried and nearly killed me with battery smoke. What's the best and the easiest way (idiot proof) to make one?

I have a fat PSP myself and I've been watching several vid's on how to make a Pandora battery and even the memory stick. Still no luck. I'm pretty sure I'm screwing something up. http://youtube.com/watch?v=vsY1Mj-7kvI

I don't want to have to open up my battery again for the 3rd damn time now. :(

I'm pretty sure I successfully created pandora battery using the hardmod method (along with cutting my thumb knuckle wide open), now all that's left is the magic memory stick.

Sorry to sound so n00b, but I've been all around the net searching for the best magic memory stick guide and I'm not sure which is the best.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I'm going to try this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/552549 tonight when I get home. I'm currently at work right now.

So how would I know if I did successfully create a pandora battery? And sometimes I get a lot of "this game could not be started" so hopefully somebody will be looking on this thread tonight. =)
