GUIDE TO::Making Pandora's Battery (*new method*)

[Jin619]

Umm..when I open the folder "uniunbr"..there is msip, 371.pbp, psp folder, kd, and registry..I know that I just copy the kd and registry folders onto my root of my memory stick..but what do I do with msip, 371.pbp, psp folder?

[DeeKay]

Can someone specify what exactly is meant by the "root of the memory stick." I just want to clarify whether it is simply putting the files on the card or accessing the card in some other way. I've never dealt with mods before so I don't know if there is something specific I'm missing out on.

[Caliga]

when speaking in terms of computers and other electronic hardware the root is the bottom level. for example your computer has at the very least a C:\ drive that is considered the root, if you are in a folder like windows ( C:\Windows ) you are one level above the root. so if your card when connected to the computer is called K or G or V then you will be at the root when the only thing you see is ?:\ where ? is the letter assigned to your card.

universal unbricker doesn't include 150.pbp, or 340.pbp.
Can I just dowload the originals?

[sparco]

any one plz help me.....

[Midian]

lol sparco, you need to type in this
(seeing that your using drive f, i will use drive f in this example)

msinst f msipl.bin

thats it! you didnt add the .bin to the end so it doesnt load anything because there is no file called msipl in that folder

[sparco]

thanks it worked but there is no yes or no question is it still right?

[sparco]

[anno234]

hey Median I thought your new method instructions were excelent!
BUT the part about the comand prompt not so much. i tried to transfer the Msinst that contained msinst exe and msipl.bin from hard drive (cd C:\msinst) to (msinst F: msipl.bin), after that the option "Y=yes and N=no" did not show! Is it because of my 3.72 version? please need help 1 more time. please email me anno2drescue@yahoo.com

[sparco]

It says that you can use at least a 512MB stick but I think I read somewhere else that it had to be less than a 2gb. I wanted to buy a 4gb Sandisk Ultra II but I dont want to have to buy a smaller one for just the magic stick. Can I use the 4gb one.

And will budget 3rd part batterys be laid out the same with the same labeling inside?

Cheers

Ok, I finally built up the courage to try this and after I go to "run", "cmd" and input the command and I try to move the partitions I get an error message that says;

C:\Msinst>msinst F:\ msipl.bin
PSP MS IPL Installer
usage: msinst driveletter ipl_block_file

I don't know if this has any relevance but...
1. I am trying to do the Pandora's Battery to a Phat PSP
2. The version on my PSP is 3.51
3. I am using the same PSP to prepare the Magic Stick
4. I have Windows Vista on my computer

Please, anyone, help me.

[sparco]

dont put F:\ jus t put f ok?
hopefully this helps...
