Gaming returning an unhackable PSP?

[esoterica]

Do you know that for sure? I heard anything bigger than a 64MB card works.

Just from my experience, nothing under 1GB worked, or anything over 2GB... Though I've heard 500MB cards work, too.

Don't listen to Mario, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

In order to make a magic memory stick, you need a stick that is at least 128 mb. Your 256mb stick will do just fine as a magic memory stick.

Pretty sure the MMS has to be from 512-4gig.
No lower no higher.
Official MagicGate.

No, 128mb is the minimum.

After having tried to help her, it seems her card was failing IPL injection. We havent given up quite yet but if anyone knows why an official sony card might fail the IPL injection Id love to hear it

I did my MMS with a sandisk ultra 2 4gig card.

again, ignore Mario, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Ok, after Emperor helped walk me through it (and I appreciate it very much so), I'm not really sure whats going on, but nothing seems to work. I bought the God of War bundle, and it came with OFW 3.95. Is there any chance that I may have gotten the unhackable motherboard somehow?

Also, I am running on Windows Vista, and I have tried this with 3 different programs (Pandora Deluxe, Rain MMS, PSP Grader) and 3 different memory cards (256mb Sony, 8gb Lexar, and 2gig Sandisk) and they are all giving me the same error when I use Rain MMS and everything else just fails to work!

God, I must have the worst luck ever. First I get an unhackable piano black PSP, THEN I get one with a dead pixel, and now all my cards don't work. I'm going to hope that I'm just stupid and noob with this and thats why it's not working, and not that everything I bought was a defect piece of crap.

You're going to need to find a machine running XP if you want to make the MMS.

 

[esoterica]

So it is IMPOSSIBLE to create a MMS with Vista? No other way? I have a desktop with XP but currently all my peripherals are hooked up to my laptop. Ugh, it's gonna be a pain in the ass. Is that really the only way??

Hey, I'm just talking about my experiences and what I've read... No cards I tried below 1GB worked.

No need to be an ass about it.

If you don't know what you're talking about, then you don't know what you're talking about. Quit making excuses and except it.

It's not an excuse, I'm explaining myself. I'm not the only one who has had that problem, either.

"Except", is it?

wrong i used a 4gig as my memory stick (sandisk with magicgate confirmed)

edit: my suggetion to you is to find someone to let you use their computer that isn't xp

Ok my main problem right now seems to be injecting the IPL, Seems like Vista just refuses to do it. I've tried all the different methods of getting it to run on admin, but none of them are working. I'll do the XP thing as a last resort, but is there seriously no method to do this with Vista??

 

[xist]

Pandora Deluxe 2.7, one of Rain's MMS tools...the list goes on!

it says there vista sometimes doesn't work
why not save all the trouble and find someone with vista
really you've made this faaaaaaaaaaar harder than it should ever be

as above use PANDORA DELUXE 2.7

MAKE SURE you have added at least 1 original firmware by downloading it and adding it through clicking whichever firmware it is on the LEFT where the firmwares are listed click and add the appropriate EBOOT then under Installation options tick INSTALL SUPPORT OPTIONS FOR PANDORA and POPS loader if you want to use PS1 games and also check the Despertar Cementario v5 M33-3 box

Personally I use 3.90 as it works everytime for me then upgrades are just a case of adding the custom firmware to the mem card game folder and doing it in the PSP game menu

also make sure you have ticked the boxes In memory card options as per image like I have (note this will format and prepare your card ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!)

IF it does not work on VISTA then use the XP machine you dont need a lot on it just connect the PSP and it will install it as a USB DRIVE thats all you need to do apart from install PANDORA DELUXE and add the original firmware files the rest is a case of connecting the PSP and putting it in USB mode and clicking your drive letter and START

once the cards prepared turn the PSP off and put the PANDORA BATTERY IN (assuming you have one or have made one) whilst holding LEFT or whatever you have set the button to to start the DOS like interface for hacking your PSP to whatever firmware you chose

EDIT: go with the 2gb SANDISK it should work fine
