Did you format the memory stick? (you have to format the memory stick sometimes to ensure their is enough reserved space to inject the IPL)

also if your Memory Stick is a fake it may not work.

 

they both have magicgate... and what do u mean by fake? i bought the one from staples where i live and the other from best buy...
ive tried again and still doesnt work... i even tried formating with psp on first. could it have anything to do with the fact that im using a memory stick duo port on the computer to load the stuff onto it?
do i need to use usb connection?

 

Well I just did my daughter's PSP yesterday with a Photofast CR-5400 (MicroSD adapter) that wasn't even MagicGate, and everything still went smoothly.

I used RainsUltraLiteMMS DCv8 and it literally took minutes to update to 5.00m33-4.

Definitely use the USB connection to the PSP when making the MMS.

Also it might make a difference as to what OS you use...Windows XP here so I had no problems. (If using Vista I'd assume you need to right click and "Run as administrator" . )

Anyway good luck!

 

That's not strictly true I've used a few OEM/generic sticks that are definitely not magic gate and successfully made magic memory sticks with them


Make sure you format the stick in the PSP and sometimes also best to make the MEM stick in the PSP itself using PANDORA DELUXE and select the PSP by drive letter and make sure you checked the box that says INJECT IPL

 

UPDATE!
i tried it on my other computer (XP computer) and it worked! thx guys for your help
edit: OMG! now i put the mms and pandora battery in my psp and it starts right away, but when i hold down the left trigger when booting up all it does is load the psp normally... doesthat mean it's a fake pandora battery? i bought it from dealextreme.com
everyone said they got theres from the same place and it worked, but this doesnt seem to work what am i doin wrong?! plz help
