I'm posting this question here, as opposed to inflating my ill-posted thread with replies:
1. After creating a Pandora battery (severing the contact) is it necessary for me to reconnect the contact, or can I just leave it cut?

Yeah, I did. I'm currently putting some of my fav PSX games on my PSP now. Growlanser, Summon Night, Tear Ring Saga, Dragon Quest IV. Takes forever to rip all of these discs though. :lol

Thanks for the reply, but I just got word of the Tool Battery. Fuck severing and soldering. I'll pay the $40 for the ease of it all. Then it's just custom firmware, which I'm totally new at.

Removed it. That's a really good fuckin guide by the way. I'm using it to mod mine once my TOOL battery arrives in the mail. Props, man.
Are you using NO UMD mode and which one if you are?
Also boot into M33 Recovery Console. go to Advanced, then Advanced Configuation and make sure the options in it are disabled.
If that doesn't work, you can format flash1 and reset settings in Advanced in M33 Recovery Menu.

RS GUI POPStationMD v3
http://dl.qj.net/RS-GUI-PopStationMD-v3.0-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/15852/catid/151
Ok. Well the guide is just:
* Copy the files in the release to a directory called anything BUT UPDATE
* Move the UPDATE directory to /PSP/GAME/.
* Get sony 1.50 update and copy it to the root with name "150.PBP"
* Run the program and done.
1. I have the 4 files in 1.5 Add On
2. I have no update directory currently on my MS? Does this have to be done alongside a fresh update?
3. I already have a 150.pbp from a folder called M33CREATOR I backed up, is this the correct file?
4. As with point 2 it sounds like I have to be installing a new firmware and the 1.5 kernel is like an extra?
If so would I be ok to install the 3.80M33-5 with this method? My current firmware is 3.80M33 (with no -5) Would the -5 show if I was already on that?
Hope that all makes sense, it's a bit rambling...

hmm...
To update to 3.80 M33-5, download the m33-5 update file from DA. Extract the UPDATE folder and copy to PSP/GAME on your Memory Stick and then run the installer.
Rinse repeat for 1.50 kernel addon, place 150k_addon in PSP/GAME and put the 150.PBP from earlier update in root of MS (which has ISO,PSP,MUSIC,VIDEO folders)

Thanks. Once it's updated to 3.80M33-5 is it okay to remove those files from the MS and run the 1.5 add on with just the 150.pbp (ms root) and 1.5 kernel files (PSP/GAME380/150 add on) in place?
Edit: This worked fine Only problem is a corrupt DGEN icon now, any idea how to remove it? The Nester and Snes corrupt icons get fixed with the recovery menu setting.

You can use PrometeusPro to convert single discs just fine, but it hasn't been updated in a while and so lacks some of the more recent Popstation features like multi-disc EBOOTs and the removed requirement for the keys.bin file. I'm on a Mac and I just sidestep the issue by booting into Windows (either through Boot Camp or, like I do, from within OS X with something like Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion) and using the GUI that a few people have linked to.Verboten said:
Nope. Just put the EBOOT that you get out of it into a folder and drop that into your 3.90 kernel folder (either GAME or GAME390, depending on your settings) on the Memory Stick.Shouta said:

I have a quick question about formatting my MS. I did everything in navanman's guide using TotalNewbie installer, everything went fine, but when I check the data on my memory card there are three items: the Pandora maker, Despertar del Cementario, and then a third item which is corrupted data. Did I do the format wrong?

I would run popsloader (http://www.blastprocessing.net/?page_id=102), but it's not completely necessary. All you need to do is hit HOME when it's time to switch discs.

I think that is correct.
At least, I used the same guide (with others as reference) and files (and the Datel TOOL, of course) and it also showed just those three items after the CFW install.

I still have to wait a week for my TOOL battery to arrive, but I thought I'd go ahead and put the files on the MS in advance. All I have to do is put the 3.71 M33 CFW on the stick and play the waiting game.

Oh, I thought that was because nsipl.bin had not been copied along with my install. Got lucky with the Tool there, I guess.

Ok I've decided to run custom firmware but i have no idea where to begin.
I have a phat with the most recent firmware, but i might be getting a older psp which hasn't been updated in a year.
all this talk over downgraders, pandora's battery is confusing the hell out of me. What exactly do i need to do?

If it's a game that lets you save between discs, all you need to do is give them both the same ID. Then, when it's time to change discs, save and then load the second disc and load the save file. Combining the discs into one is really only useful for games that don't let you save between discs, like Chrono Cross.

My favorite PSOne->PSP GUI converter became obsolete when DA released POPStationMD. Despite the last version being the "final" one, its creator finally released a new version that adds multi-disc support.
Yes, technically RS GUI v3 did it first, but now the best is back!

i can't find a way to add more than one image even tho i have the multi-game option enabled.
edit: oh i just knew it would be a simple solution!

listen to the mad man
Anyone got an image pack for NO ONE CAN STOP MR DOMINO? The normal site doesn't have any icons and I just scored a copy of the game for five bucks and it'd be nice to be able to have a nice pretty background and icon like I do with the rest of my psp games.

It's can't be described simply, but it's awesome. I haven't seen a copy since probably 2000, and it was one of maybe 5 PSX games at the pawn shop I went to.
Probably my best find of the year.
