When I put in the Tool Pandora Battery it doesn't blink no matter what I do. I've done the L trick while putting in the battery AND I have put it in without the L trick.

I do not understand, and I have used your instructions successfully twice: once on a Slim once on a Phat.

well he brought a black slim last week, it could mean he has a TA-088v3, there is no way around this, sorry...i would recommend buying an older slim (like from a pawn shop or something)

press L + R + Start + home to restore nand dump physically (dangerous!)

Like I said, X installs, then says "Press X to shut down" I do, then start PSP back up, and get the same options.

well you are starting your psp with the pandora battery, that PB is only need to install cfw, once installed, take out the pandora battery (put in a new battery or use an ac adapter) and take out the memory stick, once it boots to normal, press select, you should see a small screen in top center, this means you have cfw, then format the stick on the psp

THANK YOU!!!!!

Now all I need is a new battery. I, like a LOT of the other posters on here, saw a quick spark when I dug too deep with the box cutter. It still worked however!

Installed the GBA emulator last night, along with a few dozen themes. It's only the beginning!!

Done, Now Running 4.01M33-2 CFW, Very Easy Guide, just read, re-read and follow it step by step.. I only found cutting the battery open tricky, Dont go no more than 4mm's deep on the the leftside or you will slice the battery inside, then cut open top and bottom.. I gave mine a little slice which emmitted a little spark which shocked the hell out of me LOL...
Now To find out which CF runs EMU's, perferably a MAME EMU, The best and to figure out how to run them without getting "error 8xxxxxxx game cannot start"...
Thank for the guide and Help

I doubt he is going to. Thanks anyway. I just wondered if there was a way around it.

I need help....LOL I am following step by step. Read everything about 100 times, and run into an error early. What on earth does "Pseudo Format Not Necessary" mean? Does that mean I am good to go and I can skip this step or what? Because I have done searches and searches and have not found an answer. Some clarification would be nice. Thanks!

I bought my psp slim last week too. How can I be sure that I have a TA-088v3?

I've tried everything, but when i boot up with my pandora battery, the screen just stays black. And i have tried the L trigger trick, it didn's work.

wohdin · 10-08-2008, 09:13 PM

Okay, so here's the scoop. I haven't started on this yet, because I ordered a pre-made Pandora today. Before I start, I have some quick questions:

1) I run Vista (and lament every moment of it), 2) I do NOT have a PSP USB cable, but do have a MagicGate Pro 2/Duo slot on my PC, and 3) have zero experience with modding a PSP (I do have experience with modding consoles however - I just don't like the idea of hardware modding in such a tight space as the PSP has).
Based on this, how difficult will this be, and will I still be able to follow OP guide to the letter, just using my drive slot? As far as I can tell, this is all software-based beyond the battery.

Thanks~

I recently installed 4.01 M33-2 on my psp slim and i'm not sure if anyone else has had this happen but i was playing around with psp pandora deluxe v2.1 (by playing i mean installing everything that the program comes with) After trying out everything and deciding the only thing worth keeping was umdumper i found that my psp was now starting up with my pandora batt
after a few attempts at turning off the system and pulling out the batt i concluded that it wasn't just some random occurence and tried removing the mem stick bingo the system hung like it normally would
whatever pandora deluxe did to the mem stick it essentially makes a pandora batt useable for both installing cfw's and normal gameplay

Also, I think VeryThinPSP made a typo

I only have vista ultimate. The command prompt says cant open drive e and it wont work at all. I saw the part about the blank screen at startup. Mine is blank no matter what. I plucked the leg on a fat psp battery. Is the battery pandora after that? IM LOSING MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! IM GONNA TURN INTO HULK IF THIS DOESNT WORK FOR ME!

:m ad:

When I put my battery in after i used Rain MMS, the power light blinks green and orange constantly. I tried holding L, but it does the same thing. Whats wrong?

after doin all the mms and pandora stuff
turn on psp as normal press select which brings out the "m33 VSH menu"
change "UMD iso mode" to "m33 driver"

should work

Ok, i definitely saw a smoke. Twice. People, when u put the needle under the fifth (fourth actually) pin, MAKE SURE that you dont touch any of those metal little thingys arround, or else it'll go pufffff, just like mine. New pandora battery, that's what!!!
