Dear PSPMOd TimeMachine Guru.

Here's my current situation.

I have twp PSPs. One is fat, the other is slim. Both are on 3.90 M33-3. The fat has 1.50 add-on. None of them have timemachine installed. I had my fat first and all my mem sticks have a base installation of 1.50 driven utilities and applications.

Originally, I wanted the fat for everything and the slim only for iso/cso and skype which is what i have now.

Here's my problem:
I am sharing Mem Sticks between them and really hate having to put my slim down when I realize I just tried to run some 1.50 only homebrew to go and get my fat to do the same thing.

I know all I have to do is install timemachine on my slim to resolve my problem. However, when initially going through the guide on a dry run, and then doing a dry run on the slim, I see options that concern me. One major concern is that I will need to install (or copy) all timemachine related files to all of my memsticks for all of them to work with the slim. Another is that it appears to change the memstick geometry in some way (convet) like a reformat or something.

So, here is my questions:

1. Will I need to install timemachine on my fat as well to retain my current usability with the mem sticks and contents of those mem sticks?
2. Are there any known issues with my goal of seamlessly sharing mem sticks and applications between my slim on timemachine and my fat not? What about both on timemachine?
3. What are my risks and recommended actions?

In closing - My slim outperforms my fat in Browsing, iso/cso/umd game performance. My fat has IR keyboard use for on-line chatting (Browsing, afkim and IRC). I will not choose one over the other. If there is a possiblity that memsticks should not be shared or my goal is unattainable, I would consider timemachine for the slim and dedicate appropriate aps/memsticks to it then I would simply keep the fat for all keyboard related aps, and music/internet radio player since I have a 3600mAh battery AND I happen to be from the 80s generation...

Goal Summary - To seamlessly share and run all applications on multiple memsticks between a fat PSP and a slim PSP where the mem sticks contain 1.50 homebrew as well as 3.90 homebrew.

Yes, I'm double posting on purpose - Sorry but damn I posted this on 05-13-2008, 07:16 PM and not a single response after 58 Views. I was originally going to make a new thread however - I decided to just respond to myself.

Here's the deal. Read above and you'll see what I wanted, read below and you'll see what I've gotten.

Steps
1. - Install timemachine on all memsticks. Doesn't matter if you use the fat or slim to do it.
2. - Move all of your 1.50 homebrew from your GAME150 folder to your GAME folder on the memstick.
3. - Pick a game or application to use as a border line between 3.xx and 1.50 homebrew then rearrange your xmb application list accordingly. I use irShell and it comes in two flavors, 3.xx and 1.50. So in my XMB game list, that is where I draw the line. Everything from irshell 3.xx and up is for 3.xx firmware, everything from irshell 1.50 and down is 1.50 firmware stuff. There are a lot of utilities you can use to rearrange your aps. Use google.
4. Pandorize both batteries. I use the service tool to softmod both.

Result - I seamlessly share memsticks between my slim and fat PSP models. I retain my infrared on my fat for keyboard usage when I want to go on-line for chatting or email. I use my slim for everything else. For both PSPs I simply reboot holding the "O" to get to 1.50 and use those aps.

That's it. Problem solved. Works like a charm.

Sorry for the double post - it just seemed to make sense to do it for the given situation.
