I have a 3.71M33-4 + 1.50(2) PSP and just bought a spare Datel "pandora-compatible" battery . I just read we also need a spare Memory Stick too? I only have one memory Stick (Pro Duo) that I use to store all my emulators/PS games, etc.
Is it possible to do a Pandora's Battery using just one memory stick? Then after completion is it possible to back up the Pandora memory stick (image-wise) and then restore my emulator/PS games. Then whenever I need to downgrade using Pandora's Battery I can copy back the Pandora Memory Stick.
Is this possible? |

And maybe run the msipl.bin flashing program, etc? So theoretically, one could recreate ANOTHER clone identical Pandora memory stick?
Please confirm with tested-and-tried scenario... |

Points: 352.40 Donate | | Sorry, but it sounds like you're missing a few important facts... - A 'Magic Memory Stick' can be used for Pandora and to store games/emulators at the same time - that's what my blue SanDisk one is doing at the moment.
- If you use the UMPS installer, you can not only do everything from the PSP, you can also use a Pandora battery as a regular one.
- I can't think of any reason why you'd want to copy the folders over by hand in the first place.
So basically... you can make your battery a Pandora, your MS a Magic MS, and just leave them like that, while still using your Magic MS to store games, etc, and using your Pandora as a regular one.
(The UMPS installer installs a different IPL to the normal one, one which only boots into the Pandora menu if you hold L while starting the PSP. This Pandora manu gives you access to Despertar Cementario v3, the original Pandora menu, and some files and ulilities. I'll write a tutorial... if/when I can be bothered.) | |
