I have a new Psp slim (daxter) I was able to make a pandora battery with the slim battery. When i put the battery in my psp the power light stays green.

Now I need help with the Magic memory stick. I have a 1gb pro dual magic gate. I am using windows vista. I have no 1.50kernel in my psp. My psp is running ofw(Official Firm Ware?) 3.72 :p I'm a newbie to all of this. But i'm eager to learn.

I have read many thread some say that I need to use the cmd in vista, and other says just extract the msinstal to the c:\ drive, but that gives trouble as well. I get to the comand prompt but i need a step by step instruction. Please some one help. :) thanks

Thank you, but I'm still stuck. I have used the newbie installer but doesn't work. I also tried using the windows CMD. but I wonder if anyone can help me do this step by step in windows vista. I mean literally step by step.

1) The newbie installer is illegal to distribute.

2) If you must persist with this path, try setting the .exe to run as administrator (right click/properties).

3) Vista is complete crap, and water is wet. I know, I'm stating the obvious.

1) The newbie installer hasn't got any firmware files, you have to obtain them yourself :) everything is illegal these days so we'll have to live with it.

the only other thing I have done was download msm files and extract them to my c drive. then go to dos and follow some instructions that was given else where. I almost got to the end but then i keep getting this...c:\msm>msinst m MSIPL.BIN
PSP MS IPL Installer
Load IPL code MSIPL.BIN
241664 bytes(59 block) readed

Target DRIVE is 10
Check partation Sector
boot status 0x80

partation type 0x06
last head 0x3F

abs sector 0x00000171
ttl sector 0x001DAE8F

Check BPB Sector

Check free reserved sector:to small reserved sectors

c:\msm>
anyone know what to do next?

wally: Sorry, I meant the pandora's gui or one of the other 'all-in-one' newb packages.

There's nothing illegal (to distribute or use) about the process unless one of those all in one things are used.
