Dual-Boot Pandora Battery + Jigkick Memory Stick Setup
Published by DJB on 2007-10-17
2008-01-27 EDIT:
Disinter v3.80 is now released which contains Despertar Cementerio v4, and 3.80 M33-5.
Just follow the same instructions with this newer version.
-----------------------------------
As some of you know, the original Pandora Jigkick Memory Sticks were designed only to boot from the Memorystick, and not the actual PSP. This tutorial wlil show you how to turn your
PSP into a Dual-Boot Setup, allowing you to either use Despertar Cementerio v3 or your normal
XMB.
You will have the choice of 3 options on booting our PSP:
Nothing = Normal PSP XMB
R Trigger = Recovery Menu for Custom Firmware
L Trigger = Despertar Cementerio v3
It is EXTREMELY important that you follow this tutorial exactly step-by-step,
otherwise you could come across some serious trouble.
OK, Firstly you will need the following:
An Original PSP Battery (DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WITH A SLIM!!)
A Memory Pro DUO Memory Stick (with MagicGate) no smaller than 128mb
The Files to create your Memory Stick, which you can download here
1.50, 3.40, and 3.71 Official Firmware Eboot Files
You will also need one of the two following PSP Setups:
Original PSP running 3.xx OE/M33 Custom Firmware
Slim PSP running 3.60 or 3.71 M33 Custom Firmware
Once you've got all this ready, let's start with the Tutorial!!
Step 1: Backing up any Previous Data
The first thinig you'll want to do is back up any data off the Memory Stick. If your Memory
Stick can handle an extra 40mb you can easily have this setup on your Memory Stick and still
use it for normal PSP usage. When you are finished, disconnect from USB mode.
Step 2: Formatting your Memory Stick for Pandora
Firstly you need to install Disinter v2.2. Once you install Disinter, select the 3.71
Unbricker/Installer (highlighted in Green) and load in your Eboot files (highlighted in
Blue). Now you can turn USB mode back on via the PSP, you will see this popup window
appear.
The PSP drive will now show up in the area highlighted in Red (in my case it is Drive L).
Proceed with Step one of Disinter (highlighted in Orange), which will install the Pandora
3.xx Installer to your PSP. This is the program you will use to Format your Memory Stick. You
will see a confirmation message shown below when it's done.
Disconnect the USB, go to Game -> Memory Stick on your PSP, and select the Pandora Installer
for 3.xx
When you are at this menu, you need to press R Trigger + X to Format your Memory Stick, as
shwon in the below screenshot. The option you need to select is highlighted in Green.
You will see this screen just before you format, giving you one last chance to exit. Press L Trigger + R Trigger + X to format your Memory Stick.
When the format is completed, your PSP will be automatically shut down.
Step 3: Installing files to the Memory Stick for Pandora
Reconnect your USB and select Step Two of Disinter (highlighted in Purple). The copy process
this time will take a bit longer, as it is now copying over the Eboot files, Despertar
Cementerio, and the 1.50 Kernel Addon which can be used with 3.71 M33-2 and Original PSPs.
When it is completed you will see the following confirmation window. However, in order to
make the Dual-Boot we will do things a little differently here.
Step 4: Installing Despertar Cementerio
Disconnect your USB, go to Game -> Memory Stick on your PSP, and select Despertar Del
Cementerio.
It will ask you to press X to install the nessecary files to your Memory Stick. You
should see something similar to this screenshot when it is complete (the program will
automatically restart the PSP for you).
Step 5: Installing the IPL MultiLoader
Firstly make sure your USB is not connected. Go to the IPL Multiloader folder which is
included in the files you downloaded, and double-click on
install_psp_ms_multi_loader_ipl.cmd. You will see something similar to this
screenshot. At this point of time, the program is waiting for your PSP to be
connected.
Once you are at this point, connect the PSP via USB. The program will detect your PSP and ask
you to confirm writing the IPL to the Memory Stick. Once it's done you should see somethinig
similar to the screenshot below.
When this is finished, disconnect the USB and turn off your PSP.
Step 6: Converting your Original Battery to Pandora
This part is left until last, because if the Pandora Battery can not detect a properly
formatted Memory Stick, the PSP will not boot at all. Go to Game -> Memory Stick on your PSP,
and select the Pandora Installer for 3.xx
Once you're at this menu, you will need to press O to convert your battery.
When this is done, turn off your PSP and remove your battery for about 10 seconds, this gives
the PSP a chance to (clear it's head) so to speak. Re-insert the battery and you are now
running a Pandora setup on your PSP, capable of installing / unbricking ANY PSP, but also
capable of being used normally.
Just a few quick notes you may need to know:
You can immediately install 3.71 M33-2, you don't need to install 3.71 first.
After installing 3.71 M33-2, press the R Trigger to access the Recovery Menu. Go
to Advanced -> Format Flash1 and Reset Settings. If you don't do this, there's a good chance
the PSP won't boot properly to the XMB.
If you're installing to an Original PSP, don't forget to use the 1.50 Kernel Addon. You
can find this via the XMB in Game -> Memory Stick -> PSP Update ver 1.50.
On a finishing note, I have been reading on other forums about Memory Stick setups that can
do more than this setup, however I feel that most of the stuff isn't needed, and this is the
bare essentials that you should have. Plus there have been apparent issues with Slim PSPs,
this setup should work fine on BOTH types.
Hope you enjoyed this little tutorial, feedback is always appreciated.
