Take the memory stick out.

Turn the PSP on.

If the Backlight comes on, the power light is green but the screen remains black it's a Pandora battery.

Unless you're on a 3k, in which case there won't be a difference.

When I switch it on it takes me to PSP XMB.

My memory stick has the OS Pandora Battery tool 0.5, the Despertar del Cementerio v8 and two other files on that don't appear to have names, I am sure my mate who done it said i could turn on the pandora battery on and off but it was a while a go.

Cheers.

OSPBT 0.5 isn't the latest release but that's what you'd use to convert it to a Pandora.

Is there a way of switching the pandora battery on and off i.e. turning the softmod off and on?

I am 99% sure he done it and told me of a way of doing it.

OSPBT does both ways.

OSPBT does both ways.

OK, how is it done, do I just run the program from the memory stick?

What firmware does your PSP say it's on in the System Information? Also, why do you suddenly need a Pandora?

System Software - 5.00 M33-4

My youngest daughter has started playing with it I thought I would get some games for her for XMAS

I am almost sure it has been done, I want to mupdate it so it can play newer games, I have done hacks on the DS and the WII so just need a wee bit of info to get me started. I don't want to go and try it when it has already been done.

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers.

You don't need to use a Pandora battery to update your firmware. You can either run a simple update to take you to 5.00M33-6 and patch the latest games manually, or run two separate updates to take you to Prometheus firmware which should run most games as clean ISO's.

A Pandora is only something you'd want if you're thinking your daughter is going to somehow modify the flash0

Ah I thought pandora was needed so that you could run downloaded games.

OK I think I will go for the option "run two separate updates to take you to Prometheus firmware which should run most games as clean ISO's", I take it the info for this is in the stickies?

Cheers.

Yes....just pick it up from the bit after running recovery flasher.

For the record, when it comes to installing CFW, pandora is mostly needed for official firmwares higher than 5.03 and only on old motherboards.
