Installing 3.60 M33 on a PSP SLIM
1. Remove teh MS you made in the ealier part and place it into the PSP SLIM
2. Put in teh Pandoras Battery
3. You will get a black screen, thats is alrgith, the PSP SLIMs LCD drivers are not suported. You have 3 options though.
- Press X to install M33. The process will last just few seconds, since the installer only needs to install the M33 custom prx's and IPL. After the process is finished, the installer will shutdown the psp automatically.

- Press L+R+triangle to uninstall M33 and go back to original 3.60. Note: this can't unbrick a psp slim, it will just remove M33 ipl. There is currently no unbricker for the psp slim, but we plan on doing one in the future. After uninstallation, psp will be shutdown automatically.

- Press square to dump the PSP Slim nand. Watch out: you need 66 MB of free space in the memory stick for this, otherwise your memory stick may end corrupted.

You now have 3.60 M33 hopefully

Restoring your Battery
Go to Game on your memory stick and launch "Pandora's Battery Creator"
http://i4.tinypic.com/6ch53m8.jpg
Press L+R
Now remove MS, and reboot PSP.
Put the MS back in and format it anyway you choose

Unless you have a friend with a homebrew enabled PSWP, you cannot upgrade

[gamezzx]

Sorry, i new on this thing so . . . . . .

I have a PSP slim, soooo to install 3.60 M33, do I need to follow the set of instructions for
"Creating Magic Memory Stick Mod for 3.60 M33"? Or do I just use the regular Pandora bat&M.S. from the top instructions

[Bobtentpeg]

If you dont have a magic MS already, you will need to follow the top and bottom directions, if you do have a magic MS just follow the bottom directions

I just bought a new slim. I haven't even opened the box yet. At the same time I bought a used phat. Unfortunately the phat is running 3.71 official firmware. Is there any way to downgrade or apply m33 to 3.71 official firmware on a phat yet?

[Bobtentpeg]

your only option for both your Slim and Phat PSP is pandora's Battery

Hi All, this may not be the best place for this post - sorry.

My Boss just bought a slim PSP from China with 3.60 M33 pre loaded.

He's got back to the UK and bought a UK encoded UMD movie and it complains about the region code and won't load.

I've been into the setup and tried various settings - telling it to Fake region Europe, free region etc but can't get it to work.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to get a European firmware or is the hardware locked?

[mobizk]

hi, i have a fat psp running 3.52 M33 and a newly bought slim on 3.60 official. ive been trying to format the magic mem stick on the fat psp but i get stuck with an error msg.

You are about to format the drive k.
All data will be lost. Do you want to continue? [Y]y

Its the hardware, and if you install 3.71 M33-3 on it, and then try to fake a region that should work. If not, just hit select when in the VSH and change USB to ISO/UMD
then enter USB moce and drag the ISO to your desktop
put it on his ms in ms0:/ISO/VIDEO
now it will work

So, I have a new PSP slim with 3.60 firmware. I do not have access to a PSP fat. How can I make my PSP slim able to play homebrew?

[Bobtentpeg]

find someone who has a either a slim or fat PSP that can run homebrew and make a pandoras battery

[rangingcavalier]

The problem is that I don't know anyone with a PSP (fat or slim). What about the datel battery thingy? How would that work?

[Bobtentpeg]

if you buy the datel battery, you still need a PSP to make the memory stick

[TruenoGT]

hi people, i am just curious has anyone successfully installed the custom firmware into their psp slim with pandora's box? and is it possible to still get custom firmware updates? and still play games off disc like the fat psp? would the fat psp still work after the magic battery and memory stick is created? i am looking to buying a psp slim just want to get some feedback before i actually go ahead with it.
thanks.

[Bobtentpeg]

I answered your PMs

[TruenoGT]

hi people, i've followed all the steps to the guide precisely, everything went well. Until the last part where you insert the Pandoras Memory Stick and Battery into the PSP Slim, the blank screen appears and when i press X nothing occurs??? could anyone help ?

[Bobtentpeg]

Do you have all the files on there

[whiteunight]

I have and problem when i get to the step when i have to run pandora battery creator, i go to my psp game section and nothing is there it says "THERE ARE NO GAMES" so what do i do.

I am using original firmware 3.6
And i have a magicgate memory stick
Please tell me if i am doing something wrong.

Also i tryed to put the files in the GAME150 folder to the GAME folder, when i do that i can see the Pandora creator and installer, but it wont run i get an error.

Please Help

[Bobtentpeg]

Read the guide.

It says you need a homebrew compatible PSP to run the programs

[PGRevolution]

hi people, i've followed all the steps to the guide precisely, everything went well. Until the last part where you insert the Pandoras Memory Stick and Battery into the PSP Slim, the blank screen appears and when i press X nothing occurs??? could anyone help ?

Did you run the program at the end? The extension one?

Once the battery was in, for me the WiFi light came on, though the WiFi swich was off, so I geuss it comes on to show that its working. I left the Slim for aboyut a minuite before I hit X, in case it needed to load.

[preetyforu]

The screen is supposed to be blank, for me I pressed X and was like WTF, I read more closely (yes I did, hard to beleive *cough*cory and kenkiller) and it said, I pressed X like crazy and finally seen the MS light blink, just to be safe I pressed X again, the light flashed, PSP shut it self off, I turned on and had it!

When I did my brothers I pressed X once and it shut down and worked.

i have just brought a psp slim which is running the latest offical FW (3.80 i think) i dont have access to a homebrew enabled fat psp but if i brought one of the premade pandorras batterys from ebay or modchip websites that seem to be selling them, will i be able to install the 3.60 M33?

[liquid.ice0]

Hi, thanks for writing up the guide. It's been pretty simple and straightforward to follow, but I've got a problem now.

I have a PSP fat with 3.40 EO, working battery for it, spare memory stick, and a new PSP slim with official 3.71.

I followed the guide from beginning to end step for step, and everything seemed to work right up until the very end. The pandora battery seems to do what it's suppsoed to do. I followed all the directions to make the magic stick, when I put them in the slim, it seems to work right. turns on automatically, Screen is blank (backlight on), wi-fi light on. Wait a min, press X, memory stick indicator light blinks for a second, and then it powers down. I put in the regular battery and turn it on, but it's still running 3.71 official...

Any ideas?

You have to be on 360 M33 for this to work. You want the universal Pandora guide

[cowcowcal]

thanks for the guide but when i tried to do it , i used my 3.52 m33 fat psp to do all the steps to make the battery . when i was done, the phat psp was still turned on and i could use the xmb... did i do something wrong becaus the cmd prompt said i made the battery though....
plaese help
thanks in advance

[Bobtentpeg]

did you make the MS though

[dtsesTHX]

i have both phat/slim
can i use any bat. to solder pandoras ? and use the one bat on both psp?

and than i dont need homebrew? or what can i do for both

phat has 3.80 sony
slim 3.60 sony
psp-1001
psp-2001 poinsettia bowl san diego uofu football gift

[Bobtentpeg]

it would be PSP-1001 and PSP-2001 but thats beside the point.

You can use any of the compatible batteirs(if you need a list go to google and seach pandora compatible battery)

Then PM me for the stuf to make it without a homebrew PSP

[advent_of_apocalypse]

Whenever I do this, it says "file not found - msipl.bin" during one of the steps. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[Bobtentpeg]

what step?
I;m guess the flashing of the ipl/boot code part, which means yo didnt run the programs

[scottjbanks1978]

I have just got a psp slim 2003 with firmware 3.71, i can use my mates psp fat will this method work with mine.

[Bobtentpeg]

[scottjbanks1978]

[Bobtentpeg]

well...if by work you mean make no, if by work you mean downgrade/upgrades, then yes, but not for a 371 PSP, you want one of the other guides

[psplovers]

thanks a lot for this guide, i made my psp slim 3.60 into m33. I heard that i can upgrade it to 3.72 m33-3 its that true?

[Bobtentpeg]

you can upgrade to 371 m33-# or 380 M33-#

[jimmydabosh]

Hi

I followed this guide using a PSP fat 3.90 m33-2 and psp slim 3.60 with the idea of putting 3.60m33 on the slim. Everything seemed to go ok, but now the psp slim battery does not work. The psp slim and the spsp fat are both working ok, and the psp slim works fine with the fat battery in it. The psp slim works witht the power cord attached and in battery information it doesn't show any information regarding the psp slims battery just blank...

What have i screwed up? Do i need to buy a new battery? Any help would be cool.

Thanks!

[Bobtentpeg]

No, the slim battery is fine, it might need a little charging and the info not showing up inst to big deal, that was fixed in later frmware

I would recommend 380 or 390

i am using a psp phat 3.52 M33-4 and a psp lite 3.60 i tried everything to make it work but when i try to install Pandora Ext.

in one of the steps you say "Now put the battery you wish to use as your Pandora's Magic Battery in your PSP."
Are you talking about a modded battery or not? If you are then I need to know if I can use the modded PSP fat battery that I have (I used it to get CFW on my fat)

[Bobtentpeg]

You can only softmod fat batteries not slim ones...

[FoShizzle17]

what about this
http://www.pspmod.com/forums/psp-hardware-guides/23870-how-create-pandoras-battery-slim-ms-without-fat-psp.html

so you're talking about a modded fat battery right?

[Bobtentpeg]

In that step your creating the modded battery via writing 0x000000 to the eeprom.
an unhardmoded battery is what you use

[Jimmy3500]

If the slim psp is on 3.80 does this method still work or does something different need to be done?
Thanks

[The EX]

You need to use Pandora. I recommend using DDCv5 to update directly to 3.90M33.

[Jimmy3500]

So follow this method still but instead of going to 3.60 M33, I go to 3.90 M33 instead??
And what is DDCv5??

Thanks

[The EX]

No, forget about this guide, it is horribly outdated. DDCv5 is short for Despertar del Cementrio v5. I don't think a guide has been posted on these forums, but one can be found on the QJ forums.

[Jimmy3500]

Yup found it, followed it and sucessfully completed on 2 slim Psp's.
