[Skud_Bio]

right right...nothing at all wrong with being 100% on things, you should have both

yet again im stuck at the same spot
quote(After you got that done go to your xmb menu and run the Pandora installer. It should make all the files that it required including the msipl you will use to make the memstick bootable.)quote i dont know what msipl is so im lost at this spot

[Skud_Bio]

once it creates all the files, on the root of your memstick is a (.bin) fle called msipl just take that and put it in the msinst folder

Looks like I got it working with a different guide, got past the MSformat.exe with no weird symbols and the PSP recognizes it.

[Skud_Bio]

great, so what was wrong with the other guide im curious?

[dvdkiller]

i just checked my ms it didnt change and it still wont let me use the msinst batch for the 4th time

[Skud_Bio]

well you need to do the msformat first you knowe that right?

[dvdkiller]

edit it has allowed me to use msformat but it does it excedingly fast i am using a 512mb ms

Format from PSP, then just continue with MSP format and you don't put anything on it yet, still blank.

Take mem card out, turn off, turn on, then put mem card back in.

THEN you put stuff on it, and continue like normal.

ok i will try

[Skud_Bio]

- Connect the PSP to the PC with the Memory Stick inside via the USB
Connection.
- Format the Memory Stick using any utility.(dont disconnect card)
- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.(make sure todo this)
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Manually create the PSP/GAME (optionally PSP/GAME150) folders on the
Memory Stick.
- Copy the "battery" and "installer" programs to the PSP/GAME
(optionally PSP/GAME150) folder.
- Copy the 1.50 official updater as UPDATE.PBP to the root of the
Memory Stick.(right next to the psp folder)
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Run "installer" through the firmware on the PSP. This application
will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick, as
well as msipl.bin.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msipl" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
the IPL to memory stick.(meaning tke the msipl.bin file off the card and put it in the msinst folder on ur comp right next to the msinst.exe and add the batch file then run it)
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Execute "battery" application on the PSP to modify the battery.
- Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
and a "JigKick Battery".

[dvdkiller]

now the memory says that it isnt formatted now what?

[Skud_Bio]

wait what? what step are you on?

[dvdkiller]

i just placed the UPDATE.pbp in the root directory

[nissansupragtr]

okay this question has probably been answered but i cant find it - can you use the jigkick battery as a standard battery when you are not using the "magic" memory card (as in a normal memory card)?
