DOWNLOAD: Removed, bug found. 2.7 will be out soon.

Release Notes:
Here you have it, an all-in-one solution for your Pandora Needs.

This program is designed to prepare your PSP Memory Stick to be used with the Pandora Battery. Unfortunately this program can not change your Battery to Pandora, however it will copy programs to the Memory Stick in order for you to do this yourself.

I hope you enjoy this new release...

WARNING: THIS PROGRAM WILL FORMAT AND INSTALL THE IPL LOADER TO THE DRIVE LETTER YOU SELECT AS YOUR PSP DRIVE, SO MAKE SURE IT IS THE CORRECT DRIVE BEFORE PROCEEDING. I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FORMATTED USB HARD DRIVES ETC...

What's New:
The compression used in versions 2.4 and 2.5 had problems with 64-bit Operating Systems, so now it has been reverted back to what was used in 2.3 (which had no reported problems).

Hellcat's Recovery Flasher is now updated to v1.41 (which will now Flash 5.00 M33-3), and the latest version of CXMB is updated to v3.3 (which is 5.00 M33 compatible). AutoStart PRX was removed due to no 5.00 M33 support, and replaced with Custom Firmware Extender v3.0.

Requirements:
- A PC with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista and .NET Framework v2.0.
- A PSP with USB Cable and 1.50 or 3.xx/4.xx/5.xx M33 Custom Firmware Installed. (This is needed for creating the Pandora Battery, not the Memory Stick).
- The official Sony Firmware EBOOT files for 1.50, 3.71, 3.80, 3.90, 4.01, and 5.00.

What it does:
- Formats your PSP Memory Stick with or without MSPFormat.
- Installs the TimeMachine IPL to the Memory Stick.
- Checks the Internet for any new versions.
- Loads and Saves Configurations.
- Allows you to select which buttons to use to boot your PSP.
- Copy Official Firmwares 1.50, 3.71, 3.80, 3.90, 4.01, and 5.00 to your PSP.
- Installs jas0nuk's Pandora ELF+PBP Menu to access all the programs.
- Installs Hellcats Pandora Installer to your PSP.
- Installs the M33 1.50 Kernel Addon Installers to your PSP.
- Installs POPSLoader (3.30, 3.40, 3.51, 3.72, 3.80, 3.90, 4.01) to your PSP.

Your even more insane with the amount of updates you do in succession than me man! :p

Although work has slowed my steam roller release tendency down a lot lately.

Keep up the great work :)

Thanks :)

This last update was sorta crutial though because the last 2 versions (2.4 + 2.5) didnt work properly on 64-bit machines. I really would've loved to hold off until DC v8 came out, but I think I should be able to now.

So, due to a comedy of tragic but understandable errors: I accidentally anti-cracked my Psphat into OFFICIAL FW3.95 ("protip": make sure you REMOVE your UMD from your psp before trying to use DAX's XMB driven wi-fi custom FW updater... doh). What was I thinking? First mistake I've ever made, and I've been in this since the damn tiff-exploit. This weekend I'll be grabbing my sister's psp, which I cracked up to CFW 3.4(?, maybe 3.5?) I want to use it to make a pandorabat & re-crack my psp and get it to 3.9M33, maybe 4.xM33. I'm not sure if I want to go to 5.x yet. So my questions are these:

#1: Will this program let me do that? If that's all I want to do, is this overkill?
#2: My sis's psp I will use to make the pandora is NOT TA-082 (the formerly "dreaded" anti CFW motherboard), but the one I am using now IS A TA-082. I had done what it took to allegedly negate that TA-082 problem, and was up to the last update of CFW 3.8M33 when I accidentally went to official FW... will this lead to any problems using this application?
BIIIIG thanks to anyone who can ease my mind about this. SO wish I could just boot to safe mode and launch recovery...
