Doesn't sound too hard. How do I save the IPL though? Can you point me to some Pandora tutorials and such? Because I always shrugged them off because they looked so complicated.
It's easy, remember to do it when you pandorize the battery using the Pandora's Battery - Battery Maker. You just have to press TRIANGLE and an EEPROM.bin will appear in the root of your memcard, to restore the battery to "normal" mode, you just have to power on your PSP without a battery inside, then plug the battery, and load Pandora's Battery - Batter Maker and press L+R to restore the original IPL into the battery.
As always, I prefer the readmes inside the packages
It's pretty straightforward.
Pandora's Battery Readme:
QUOTE(Pandora's Readme) said:
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
- Connect the PSP to the PC with the Memory Stick inside via the USB
 Connection.
- Format the Memory Stick using any utility.
- Use mspformat to format the Memory Stick logically.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Manually create the PSP/GAME (optionally PSP/GAME150) folders on the
 Memory Stick.
- Copy the "battery" and "installer" programs to the PSP/GAME
 (optionally PSP/GAME150) folder.
- Copy the 1.50 official updater as UPDATE.PBP to the root of the
 Memory Stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Run "installer" through the firmware on the PSP. This application
 will create the firmware files on the root of the Memory Stick, as
 well as msipl.bin.
- Connect the Memory Stick again via the USB connection of the PSP.
- Execute "msipl" application on the PC with the msipl.bin to write
 the IPL to memory stick.
- Remove the Memory Stick and disable the USB connection.
- Execute "battery" application on the PSP to modify the battery.
- Congratulation, you are now in posession of a "Magic Memory Stick"
 and a "JigKick Battery".
After that, use Despertar del Cementerio:
Despertar del Cementerio Readme
Installation:
- If you have already a pandora ms, don't do this part. Otherwise,
format an ms using c+d mspformat or any other tool that allows to move
partition to ~250kb from first sector
Remove ms, usb and connect again usb and ms.
Make PSP and PSP/GAME dirs.
- Copy despertar_cementerio to PSP/GAME/
- Download 1.50, 3.40 and 3.80 update eboots and copy them to ms root with
150.PBP, 340.PBP and 380.PBP names.
- If you have a PTF custom theme set, quit it before running the program.
- Use the app under a cfw with 2.x or 3.x kernel (be sure that kernel is
selected on recovery to the correct one (2.x or 3.x))
- Once finished, u will have msipl.bin on root. If you already have a pandora
ms, you don't have to do this step (ipl doesn't changes lol), otherwise,
use c+d msinst to install ipl on ms; or use dd command from unix, or any
hex-edit program to write on sector 16 on the physical drive.
- Now you can delete 340 and 150 PBP's, as they won't be used more; but 380.PBP
will be used for unbricker, so don't delete it.
- Now you have an universal pandora ms ready to go, and you just need a proper
battery. If you have 1.50 kernel access, use c+d tool. Otherwise, use corly149 tool.
Battery and ms will work on all psp and slims to this date.
Unbricking:
- Press X to install 3.80M33.
- Press O to install original 3.80
- Press [] to dump nand to nand-dump.bin. When done, psp will auto shutdown.
- Press L+R+HOME+start to restore nand from nand-dump.bin
