2. Making the "Magic Memory Stick"
To make an MMS, I recommend using a program called
PSP Grader. The latest version at the time of writing is v008. Once this is downloaded, extract the .zip archive using a program such as WinZIP or WinRAR.
For the next step, you will need the
OFW 5.00 EBoot file. Once downloaded, rename the file to 500.PBP. Put the Memory Stick inside your PSP, plug the PSP into your computer via the USB port and run PSP Grader. (You will need
7-zip to extract the .7z archive this file was uploaded in.)
NOTE: It is recommended that you backup any files on your Memory Stick as during the MMS creation process, a format is recommended.
Ensure that after PSP Grader is started, it knows the location of your PSP (E:\ or F:\, for example). Tick
Format Memory Stick, and press
Load 5.00 Official eBoot. Check which trigger button is selected to the right of the application. The default trigger is the Left Trigger, though this can be changed if you wish. This will be important later. Click
Create Pandora Stick and allow the process to complete. After this, you can close the program.
