Step 4:Connect your PSP in USB mode.
Step 5: Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
Step 6: In the command prompt, switch into the 'mspformat' folder
you extracted in step 1... wherever you put it.
Step 7: Type 'mspformat X' where X is the drive of your PSP. Do not
include the colon. For example, my PSP is connected at O:, so I type
'mspformat O'.

You should see a prompt like this:

>>> C:psppandoramspformat>mspformat.exe O
>>> You are about to format the drive O.
>>> All data will be lost. Do you want to continue? [Y]

Type 'y'.

>>> y

and you should see

>>> Drive succesfully formatted, and partition moved.

Step 8: Disconnect from USB mode, then remove and re-insert your
memory stick. Reconnect in USB mode.
Step 9: On your memory stick, make sure that you have folders
named GAME and GAME150 in a folder named PSP. If you don't have
them, make them.
Step 10: Copy the two folders from 'battery' into GAME (for 1.50) or
GAME150 (for custom firmware). The folders should be named 'pandora_battery' and 'pandora_battery%', so they should be
PSPGAMEpandora_battery and PSPGAMEpandora_battery% (or
PSPGAME150pandora_battery and PSPGAME150pandora_battery%).
Step 11: Disconnect from USB mode, insert the battery you wish to
use as your unbricker, and run 'Pandora's Battery Creator' from the
Memory Stick section of the GAME menu.
Step 12: ***OPTIONAL - SEE NOTE *** Press Triangle to back up the
contents of your battery's flash into a file on you memory stick. The
program will automatically exit. Run 'Pandora's Battery Creator' one
more time. *Note:* This step is REQUIRED if you want to make this a
normal battery again; otherwise it's optional.
Step 13: Press X to turn your battery into an unbricking battery (a
Service Mode battery). The program will automatically exit.
Step 14: Connect in USB mode.
Step 15: Copy the Firmware 1.50 update file onto the root of your
memory stick; it should be the same place as your 'PSP' folder.
Rename it to 'UPDATE.PBP'.
Step 16: The extracted folder 'installer' contains two folders. Copy
both of these into the same place you copied 'pandora_battery'.
Step 17: Disconnect from USB mode and run 'Pandora's Battery Firm.
Installer' from the Memory Stick section of the GAME menu.
Step 18: Press X to unpack the 1.50 firmware files into their proper
place on your memory stick. The program will automatically exit. If
this step fails, go back into USB mode and rename 'UPDATE.PBP' to
just 'UPDATE', then try again.
Step 19: Connect in USB mode. Look in the root of your memory stick
(where you have the PSP folder and the UPDATE.PBP file). There
should be a file named 'msipl.bin'.
Step 20: Copy 'msipl.bin' into the folder called 'msinst' that was
extracted from the ZIP file.
Step 21: In the Command Prompt, switch into the 'msinst' folder...
wherever you put it.
Step 22: Type 'msinst X msipl.bin' where X is the drive of your PSP.
Do not include the colon. For example, my PSP is connected at O:, so I
type 'msinst O msipl.bin'.
You should see a prompt like this. I guarantee that your stuff will be
slightly different; it depends on how your computer is set up, what
sort of memory stick you have, and so on. As long as you get the 'Are
You Sure? [Y]' prompt, you know that the msipl.bin file is OK.

If you just bought a new PlayStation Portable, then you probably came upon the term “Pandora’s Battery”. That is the answer that most forums will give you if you ask how to play downloaded games or mod your PSP in other ways. But what exactly is a Pandora’s Battery? I will try to describe in this post what this magical device is and what it is good for.

Many PSP owners want to run homebrew applications and backed up ISO games on their handheld gaming console, but to do that they need to install custom firmware. However that can be quite tricky, because Sony will not allow you to run the installer. This lead homebrew hackers (most notably Dark_Alex and Team Noobz) to find exploits to get around these restrictions placed in the official Sony firmware, and the latest of which is the Pandora’s Battery. It is basically a modified battery that overrides the system boot code and runs the installer instead of starting up your PSP.

With it you to can install custom firmware one any PSP, including ones that run the latest official firmwares 3.71, 3.80 and 3.90! Actually it is the only method for installing custom firmwares on those firmwares. There are two variations of the Pandora’s Battery: the softmod and the hardmod.

Magic Memory Stick Maker

The softmodded battery is created by running an homebrew application on the PSP to change some settings on the battery. But as you probably realized, to run the homebrew application you need custom firmware, and therefore an already modded PSP. If you do not have any friends that can help you, there are always people on different forums that will meet with you (or you can send them your PSP) and use their PSP to softmod your battery. If this is something you would like to do, check out the DarkMessiah site for a complete list of such people, and just send them a PM telling them that you are interested in their service.

The other option is to change those settings in the battery physically, and thus create a hardmodded battery. By cutting a certain pin in the battery, you can force it to always override the PSP bootcode. Of course, you can still use the same battery to power your PSP by reattaching that pin back in with a graphite pencil or use a boot-loader application, like Extended Pandora Bootloader, to pick between booting your magic memory stick and PSP. But the whole process requires a bit of engineering skill or the patience to follow a good guide, so it is not recommended for everyone. Luckily there are also places one can buy a hardmodded Pandora’s Battery.

There is one more part in the Pandora’s Battery, and it is the magic memory stick. Magic memory stick is basically your standard Pro Duo memory stick with a special code inserted into its first few bytes that will allow your PSP to boot from it. The magic memory stick is created from a computer, and the process is documented by almost every Pandora’s Battery guide, so it should not be a problem for anyone. However note that having just a magic memory stick is not enough, because you also need to tell your PSP to read those first few special bytes; that is what your modified battery will do.
