ok im thinking about getting a psp slim and getting custom firmware on it
but all the guides are confusing me slightly so i was wondering would this work
i buy a slim psp from a shop
buy a datel tool slim battery
get a pro duo memory stick
use the slim psp to convert memory stick to magic (slim) memory stick
put datel battery in
use these in combination to get to upgrade to new firmware
so if i did this would i be able to run emulators and isos off a psp memory stick?
and is this method correct (im not gonna get a psp if all im gonna do is brick it
ALSO i dont have access to a fat psp with custom firmware
thanks in advance

an easy way to tell if your psp is a slim is if you have to pull open the back to place a game in, the position of the speakers is also different, do a google image search, the model number for the slims is psp-2000

1.) yes you need a pandora battery (e.g. datel tool, hard modded battery, or a battery converted using custom firmware on another psp)
2.) yes
3.)answered above
4.) the pandora will let you update to either 3.80m33 or 3.90m33 then you can use the xmb network update to go to the latest cfw

I'm in the same situation trying to figure everything out. So to create a Pandora mem card I need a spare? Or is it something that I can just install on my main mem card?

TIPS: (im a noob too, so this should help)
1) You don't really need a SPARE memmory stick. You can always convert it back to normal.
2) Use either the datel tool battery or a battery that you've converted to pandora's.
3) If you boot to your normal XMB when you stick the service/pandora/datel battery in, try putting it in holding the L button. It should boot up to pandora's menu.
4) If you make your own Pandora's battery, remember to backup the original serial, or you won't be able to convert it back to normal.
5) Remember to disable custom themes, if you have any applied.
6) You can also tell if your PSP is slim by looking at the left edge of the psp. Slims DON'T have a wifi switch there (its on top). You should only see the memory card slot.
IF the other guides confuse you, you can softmod your FAT battery (fat battery only!) to a pandora's battery using http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-development-f...els-122449.html
If you have a custom firmware psp. From one noob to another, its not as hard as it seems at first.

Btw, i'm not sure about using only the fat battery. Can anyone confirm it works with slim batteries?
From Pandora Creator 3.xx readme:
Quote:
Regarding pandorizing of a SLIM battery....
YES, it's possible, it's harmless, it's all cool :)
Btw, reading the readme's is always useful. I managed to mod mine using the readme's + parts of the guide mentioned above.

modding fat psps is so much easier.. this is why I don't want one of the new slimmer ones, no matter the improvements they've made :P

both are easy to do. it's that the fats have the 1.50 kernel. but doesn't matter that much since homebrew are being created in the 2.xx/3.xx kernel.
slim has the advantage on battery power. both my fat and slim have the same iso speed and the 2200mAh battery, and the slim gets 1-2 hours more.
to the TC, it's best to have a separate memory stick and use it as the magic memory stick. that way, you will have the TOOL battery and magic memory stick for backup. all you need is a 256 or a 512.

got a whole lot more to list . . .

Thanks! I would like to stay away from modifying the battery and my main mem card for now, I think I'll just buy a modded battery and a new mem card. The Pandora/Datel battery works as a normal battery as well right? I need a backup anyway.
I'm putting it all together now I think, my main problem is that most of the guides are geared towards the fat psp and I have a slim, so it's like trying to pick out little nuggets of info here and there :)

No... the datel tool battery doesn't work as a NORMAL spare... As far as sum1 in this forum told me. But you CAN use it, by turning the psp on with the AC cable first, then plugging in the battery.

After you're done unbricking or installing the CFW on the psp, you should format the memory stick using the psp (if you're going to use to for normal use). Thats when all the other folders will come back. If you're using a separate memory stick to make pandora, then you don't need to.
You can run iso's/cso's... but to play emulated games, you'll need to install the homebrew them selves. As in... you need to install separate EMULATOR homebrews to play SNES games. Best o luck!

AFTER you're done unbricking / modifying your PSP, you can format the MMS, to make it a normal one.
Btw, if you made your own pandora's battery you should convert it back before you format. :D.
Its best if u format it using the PSP... the psp will create the folders for you.
Game sizes vary, but on avg. they're about 500-600MB. However, games with lots of movies (such as god of war, crisis core) are almost 1.5GB.
ISO's are bigger than CSO's.... so if u have size limitations, convert ISO to CSO. Try Ciso converter GUI.

No, you have to make the MMS all over again.
