Recently, with the PSP Slim being unofficially released in Singapore (via export sets), there has been a surge in the number of people wanting to install 3.60M33 on their brand new PSP Slim. Problem is, this installation is by far the most risky custom firmware installation so far. This is due to the usage of Pandora's Battery with the PSP Slim, which leaves a lot of room for error. Hence I have come up with this guide to help you create a Pandora's Battery and Magic Memory Stick for the installation of custom firmware on your PSP Slim.
To make it easier to follow, I have placed the full guide here, instead of asking you to add the extra steps to the original method. For clarity, I have highlighted the additional steps in green.
Take note that this setup will only work on the PSP Slim! Do not try it on the old PSP!
Things you will need:
1 x old PSP on firmware 1.50 or any custom firmware (OE, M33, etc)
1 x PSP Slim (we will be installing CFW on this PSP)
1 x Memory Stick Pro Duo (more than 32MB and less than 4GB)
1 x Pandora's Battery Setup Files
1 x Team M33's 3.60M33 setup files
1 x Sony's 1.50 firmware update file
1 x Sony's 3.40 firmware update file
1 x Sony's 3.50 firmware update file
Optional - 1 x spare PSP battery (so you can keep your Pandora's Battery)
Creating of the Magic Memory Stick
1. Put the MSPD inside the PSP, and connect it to your PC using an USB cable.
2. Use mspformat to format your MSPD. The syntax is "mspformat x" where x is the drive letter of your MSPD. So if your MSPD was K:, you would type "mspformat k". Answer "Y" to finish up the formatting.
3. On your now empty MSPD, create a folder called "PSP". Inside that, create another folder called "GAME150". Copy the Pandora folders ("pandora_battery", "pandora_battery%", "pbfirm_install", "pbfirm_install%") inside the GAME150 folder. Copy 3.60M33's folders ("pandora_slim", "pandora_slim%") inside the GAME150 folder. Extract EBOOT.PBP from the Sony 1.50 firmware file and rename it to UPDATE.PBP, before copying it to the root of the MSPD. Extract both the EBOOT.PBP files from the Sony 3.40 and 3.50 firmware file, rename them to 340.PBP and 350.PBP respectively, and place them into the "pandora_slim" folder.
4. Disconnect the USB connection, and run "Pandora's Battery Firm. Installer" on your old PSP. This will create the firmware files and the msipl.bin.
5. Connect the PSP to your computer, and copy out msipl.bin to the msinst folder (found inside the Pandora's Battery package).
6. Type "msinst x msipl.bin" where x is the drive letter of your MSPD. Enter "Y" when prompted.
7. Disconnect the USB, and on your PSP run "Pandora Ext. for Slim 3.60M33 Installer". Press Cross and wait for the program to exit to the XMB.
With that, you have successfully created the Magic Memory Stick for the PSP Slim. Do not use this Magic Memory Stick on the old PSP!
Creating Pandora's Battery
8. On the PSP, run "Pandora's Battery Creator". I recommend pressing Triangle first to backup your battery's eeprom, before pressing Cross to convert your battery into a Pandora's Battery.
And with that last step, you now have a Pandora's Battery & a Magic Memory Stick for the PSP Slim. Take note that this is only for use with the PSP Slim, if you want to use it to unbrick or downgrade your old PSP you will have to make the Magic Memory Stick again.
