There are only two ways to install OSX 10.4.6 legal on your Windows computer:

1. Become an Apple developer
2. You can also buy an Intel Mac (I would recommend the Macbook Pro), install Windows XP on it using Apple’s Boot Camp and remove OSX completely, so that you have a legally bought osx86 licence. This metod isn’t confirmed and some most people say it’s illegal because the EULA says that you aren’t allowed to install OSX on non-Apple hardware.

This means that for most people it is ILLEGAL to install osx on their computer. If you aren’t an Apple developer, leave page site now. This site is in no way liable or responsible for the actions of its visitors.

You need:

1. A prepatched OSX 10.4.6 install image
2. An empty dvd recordable (+R or –R, NO Rewritable!)
3. At least 6 GB free space.
4. spfdisk

Code:

http://spfdisk.sourceforge.net/Spf2K3rE.exe

5. Acronis Disk Director Suite

The guide:
1. Get an prepatched OSX 10.4.6 install image.

2. Burn the image to an empty dvd recordable (+R or –R)

>> Use your favourite burn program for this (I recommend Nero Burning Rom or Alcohol 120%)

3. Create at least 6GB unallocated space on your harddisk using Partition Magic:

>> Start partition Magic
>> Click on ‘Resize/Move Partition
>> Move the slider to make the partition smaller and hit OK
>> Click on ‘Apply’
>> Close Partition Magic

4. Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

3. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

list disk
select disk [the number of your disk
create partition primary id=af

5. Close the command window.

6. Make sure you have a bootable disk with fdisk (I recommend spfdisk), so that you can change your active partition if it goes wrong! Also: After this step you can’t use your computer for up to 1 hour!

>> To install spfdisk just insert a formatted diskette and open the exe file

Code:

http://spfdisk.sourceforge.net/Spf2K3rE.exe

7. Click ‘START > Run…’ and type ‘diskpart’ (without quotes)

8. Type in (press enter after you typed in a line):

list disk
select disk [the number of your disk]
list partition
select partition [the number of your osx partition]
set active

9. Insert the OSX install disk and reboot your computer, follow the installation steps on your screen.

10. Boot into Windows.

11. Install Acronis Disk Director Suite, install the OS selector.

12. Start OS selector, configure (follow on screen steps) it and restart your computer.

13. After the last reboot you should see a nice dual boot menu and should be able to boot OSX.

Tutorial: Beginner’s Guide to Ripping and Uploading Movies

Ok, I've decided to make a tutorial about the entire process of ripping, converting and uploading movies. Now I realise that there is a thousand and one different ways of doing this with many different types of software and I certainly don't claim to know the best or easiest way, however this is the way I do it and it has worked very well for me after having done this dozens of times.


There are 5 main sections to this tut. They are:

• Section One: Ripping a DVD to your harddrive
• Section Two: Encoding it to avi format
• Section Three: Taking screen captures and other info for the post
• Section Four: Splitting the movie into chunks ready for uploading
• Section Five: Uploading to rapidshare.com via Rapid Uploader


What this tut does NOT address (at least this version anyway):
• Ripping TV Episodes
• Correcting out-of-sync audio
• Correcting wrong aspect ratios
• Irregular dvd copy protection
• Advanced encoding and converting options
• Uploading to non rs file hosts



If you use this tut, you will need the following programs (all latest versions). 3-4 mirrors are provided for each program:


DVDDecrypter 3.5.4.0 (859KB)

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/11357008/Entire_Tut_Pack.rar http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGM23YME

After you have downloaded the above and installed them, you can proceed.

Note 1: If you already have older versions (but not too old) of the above programs, it should be fine.
Note 2: When installing, there are no special options or anything you need to worry about, just keeping clicking Next.




Section One: Ripping a DVD to your harddrive



• First step is to insert the DVD into the DVD drive. For this tut, the example I will be doing is the movie Con Air (1994) with Nicolas Cage.

• After a while, the autorun Windows box will appear asking what action you wish to take. Select Decrypt DVD Video and click OK.







• If the box doesn't appear, simply open DVDDecrypter and it will automatically select the dvd drive with the dvd in it.

• You will see a list of all the dvd files, made up of .ifo .vob and .bup files, on the right side of the program. Since we are only interested in the movie and not the menu's or extra's etc, select Edit along the top menu and click Select Main Movie Files.

• Only the files related to the main movie will be highlighted. DVDDecryptor will automatically select the destination of the rip based on which harddrive has the most remaining space left. You can of course click the little folder and choose your own destination, keeping in mind there should be at least 7GB of space available.

• Click the large button in the bottom left (the one with a pic of a CD, a green arrow and a harddrive) to begin the rip.








• The program will now begin ripping the movie onto your harddrive.







• It depends on the movie but for Con Air, it took about 13 minutes. When it is done, it will display a message box stating the Operation was Successfully Completed and that's the end of the first section.








Section Two: Encoding it to avi format



• First, open up AutoGK.

• Click the folder icon next to Input file and locate the folder DVDDecryptor ripped the movie to.

• Now select the file that ends with the .IFO extension and click Open.







• Now specify an output file (by clicking the little folder and clicking Save).







• Under Audio tracks you can choose which to include and which to exclude. I only want the English 6 channel track so I don't have to do anything. You can also include subtitles but again this doesn't interest me.

• As you can see in the screen shot, just below the Output file, the movie goes for ~1 Hour 50 Minutes. As a general rule I like to use, if the movie is shorter than 1:50, I rip to 1 CD (700MB) size and if the movie is 1:50 and greater I rip to 2CD (1400MB) size.

• So for Con Air I will be ripping to 2 CD's. As this is the default setting in the Predefined size, I don't have to change it.







Side Note

Quote:

For a 2 CD encode such as this one, the default setting will be that the audio will remain original from the DVD, in this case 5.1 Channel AC3 surround sound, and not converted. For a 1 CD encode, the audio will automatically be converted to 2 channel MP3 at 128 kbps.

• If you click Advanced Settings you can see some...well...advanced settings. This doesn't concern us, as long as the Auto width, Auto and XviD settings are checked.







Side Note

Quote:

You could of course rip in DivX instead of XviD but I personally prefer XviD. Why? Three main reasons: • It arguably gives better quality and encodes faster than DivX • It's free, unlike DivX • It is the scene standard

• It is now time to start the encode. To do this, click Add Job then Start.







• How long it takes greatly depends on your computer specs. I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ and it took 2 Hours 20 Mins to rip Con Air and this is about typical for my PC.

• Various things will pop up (but in minimised state) during the encoding. You can just ignore these, but do not close them. You can check the progress of the rip by browsing through the log window. Once it is finished it will say Job finished along with the total time it took at the bottom of the log.

• For a copy of the AutoGK log from my Con Air rip, see here (6KB):

Code:

http://rapidshare.com/files/11345081/CON_AIR_D1A_agk.log http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5CS7B0R2 http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=2e6d5b1

• AutoGK will automatically split the 1400MB movie into two 700MB files. I would also recommend giving them a meaningful name, in this case I called the first CD:

C0n.Air.1997.AC3.6CH.DVDRip.XviD_CD1.avi

and the second CD:

C0n.Air.1997.AC3.6CH.DVDRip.XviD_CD2.avi


• By this naming convention, a person can see the name of the movie (Con Air), when it was made (1997), the audio type (AC3) and the number of channels (6 CH, for those with surround sound), the quality/source (in this case, a dvd rip) as well as what codec was used to encoded it (XviD) and of course what CD it is (1 or 2).


Side Note

Quote:

You may notice the file name is C0n.Air instead of Con.Air. This a completely one-off because "con." is actually a reserved DOS word.

• Before continuing, I would recommend you open the movie and watch a few random parts for a couple of minutes, just to ensure the rip went according to plan and that no audio is out of sync. Testing it now could save a lot of time later down the track.




Section 3: Taking screen captures and other info for the post



• Ok, everyone knows that a good post is post that contains screen caps and info. To take the screenies, we'll use a program called Image Grabber II.

• First open up Image Grabber II, go to File then Open File... and navigate to the first CD and click Open.

• You can manually take pics by sliding the slider and click the Manual Screen caps button. However to save time, click the monitor button and a box will appear asking for the Number of Frames to Extract. I usually take 15 so enter 15 and click OK.







• It will automatically capture frames and display them down the bottom. You can remove any by right clicking on them and selecting Delete. However it's auto selection is usually fine for me.

• Now select File in the menu and click Save File. You can play around with any settings like fonts and colours etc but the default is fine for me. Click Save and save the screen cap into a folder.







• Repeat for the second CD. There is now a series of miniature pics of the movie for downloader’s to have a look at which is also accompanied with the movie name, file size, resolution and duration all in the one image.







• I also like to include 1:1 screen caps, as in if the movie resolution is 672x288 then so will the pics size. I usually include 2-5 and do this so downloader’s can judge the quality and resolution.

• To get these you do the same as above but instead of clicking Save File..., you click Save Multiple... on the file menu and specify a folder to save all the pics to. Now each pic will be an individual image in the correct movie size.









• You can then host the pics. I use tinypic because it's nice and easy and hassle free:

Code:

http://www.tinypic.com/

• First click the Browse button and navigate to the image you wish to upload, click Open then click the Upload Now button.







• Now simply copy the second text box content and paste into your post.







• Now to get the technical info about the movie. With AVI2Clipboard installed it is simply a matter of right clicking the movie and selecting AVI2Clipboard on the menu.

• You can do this one of two ways. First is click Save to Clipboard (Normal) and it will copy the info to the clipboard as text so you can paste it into your post.

• Second is instead click View AVI Information then press Print Screen so you can take a screen shot of the info (and paste it in ms paint or something and save it as a .jpg) and put it into the post as an image. I usually display this info as image rather than text for the simple reason that I think it looks neater.

• Repeat for the second CD.










• For my posts I include a link to the movie at imdb:

Code:

http://www.imdb.com/

and also the plot (also taken from imdb). This is so the person knows what the movie is about and has a link to where they can get even more information if they want to.

• I also put the movie poster/dvd cover in for aesthetics. You can find posters by just googling the movie name or going to wiki or

Code:

http://www.cdcovers.cc/

Section Four: Splitting the movie into chunks ready for uploading



• You're now already to go, you just have to split and upload it. Now, one the most common file hosting sites in the world is rapidshare.com and they have a limit of 100MB per file so the movies have to be split. To do this, we will use WinRar.


Side Note

Quote:

If you're thinking of splitting a file with HJSplit or similar, DONT! Programs like those do not provide any sort of error checking, crc's or error repairing and they do not perform diagnostics or testing. WinRar does. If you download the split parts of a movie and they have been split with HJSplit and one or more parts have become corrupt during the download process (which is not uncommon), there is very little you can do except re-download all the parts again because you don't know what the matter is. With WinRar you at least have options that can salvage a perfectly working video from corrupt files or at least tell you exactly which file is the problem so you only have to download that part again.

• First step is to open WinRar. Go to Tools at the top menu and select Wizard.







• Check Create a new archive and click Next.







• Now select the file we want to split, which in this case is the first Con Air CD.







• Select a destination for the parts and I would recommend changing the name of the archive to something a bit more cryptic than just the name of the movie. For this example I've used the initial's of the movie "CA" plus CD 1. I do this to lessen the chance of having the links reported.







• On the next screen, click Set password... if you wish to have a password for the movie. This is of course optional but I always set a password mainly to prove that it is in fact my own upload and not just taken from another warez site.







• Now in the drop down box on the same screen, select Zip100: 98078 kb so that the archive will be broken into 100MB chunks. After that, click Finish and the process will begin.







• Once it's finished, repeat the same for the second CD and you should end up with 16 files.







• I would also recommend at this point the you extract the movie from the parts to test it and make sure nothing went wrong with the splitting or password. This will save you a lot of time if you find out something did go wrong after uploading all the parts. Now it's just a matter of uploading the files and you're done.




Section Five: Uploading to rapidshare.com via Rapid Uploader



• Now obviously for this section, you have to have a rapidshare premium account. First step is to open Rapid Uploader. It's a stand alone program that will create it's own history and settings files. Because of this, it is recommended you place it in it's own folder.

• Click the Settings tab then the Login tab and under Login-Type check Premium Account (or Collector's Account if that's what you have).

• Now enter your rapidshare account user name and password before clicking the Click here to finalize this option.







• Back on the Upload tab, click the Add button, navigate to the 16 rar files we made earlier and open them. If the uploads don't start automatically, click the Upload button then Upload on the menu.







• You can of course play around with the other Rapid Uploader options and settings to find what best suits you. Once all the files have been uploader, you are now ready to post.



You can find the final result of my Con Air rip here:

Side Note

As I've said previously, this is just a beginner’s guide. Once you do a few rips and gain a bit more confidence with not only the software but the entire process, you can start playing around with a few settings and options here and there. Sometimes there is a lot of trial and error involved but doing practice rips will let you see how the results turn out. If some rips don't turn out how you expected, don't become discouraged and keep trying and take satisfaction in the fact someone somewhere in the world might one day download and watch what you have put your time and effort into. Again, as I said at the start, this is the process I take BUT this whole process is just one of many ways that can be taken to achieve the same end result. If you're confident and patient enough try other types of software and processes for yourself and see what works best for you.

If you have any questions, problems, suggestions, comments or wish to hurl abuse at me, feel free to comment here.

Hello i maked this guide cause im using it right now and it works.
What we need

1.Rapidshare Account Premium(or maybe more)
2.RSLoad (You can find it on warez above in the menu)
3.Free Collectorz Accounts


Step1
1.Go to your collectorz account
2.Upload an 5 mb file
3.Copy link to clipboard

Step 2
1.Go to RSLoad
2.Put in your account details (It wont steal it )
3.Copy paste your link in the blank space
4.Click download

Step 3
1.You wait for 255 downloads to be completed
2.After you go to your second collectorz account and upload a 5mb file
3.Copy the link and paste it into RSLoad again
4.Download...


Step 4
It takes like 15 mins for 255 downloads(at me)
It will generate premium points
Use this and make 255 points at how many accounts you can
In like 40 days you will get 10000 points on each account
You will need more than 1 RS premium account (if you do this on lot accounts cause you have only 10 gb every day on Premium)
Maybe some of you guys knew this before.
This is for the persons that dont know
You can create only 255 points on each accounts (cause they are premium points)
You can PM me if you need any help

Now have fun and hope you guys get lots of RS Premiums

Please say Thanks if you liked the guide

IMPORTANT: This will NOT work with PSP's with TA-88V3 Motherboards and PSP-3000s.

We are going to do it in three parts:

1. Making the Magic Memory Stick (MMS)
2. Make the Pandora Battery (JigKick Battery)
3. Update the firmware of the PSP to 4.01 M33-2

When this guide is done, you should have a PSP that is Custom Firmwared up to 4.01 M33-2, a magic memory stick and a Pandora Battery (if you hardmodded it that is)

So lets get started =D

Update: The PSP-3000 (PSP Slim & Brite) can be custom firmwared - needs a Datel Lite Tool battery of a special sort - can't remember its name. The rest of the procedure should be the same.

If you want to know if your PSP Slim & Lite has a TA88V3 motherboard or not, view this:

http://www.dark-alex.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1194

Last I heard, the situation was still the same, so don't expect anything - the TA88v3 motherboards are RARE as it is.



1. Making the Magic Memory Stick

This will guide you through the process of how to make a Magic Memory Stick for the PSP to boot off the Custom Firmware.

What the Magic memory Stick does is having the system files we want to replace the original PSP's system files with, which in this case is the Official Firmware with our Custom Firmware.
IMPORTANT: If you have a PSP Slim & Lite, do not mess with any option relating to 1.50 firmware. If you try flashing firmware with the 1.50 addon, your PSP is screwed, my friend, with no hope in hell.

This is also why we need to have a Pandora Battery, because the Pandora Battery allows us to boot from the Memory Stick and depending on which 2 options we pick, it will replace the files and settings with its own.

So now since you have a basic understanding of how this works, lets get started =D

You will need a Memory Stick Pro DUO with at least 512mb of memory ( you can use your own, but make sure you have backed up your files on it first in case something goes wrong =D ) and a cord to connect the PSP to the computer or a Card reader if you don't have a chord for it or your PSP is bricked.

You Will Need:
• A computer running Windows XP/Vista (I mean, LastXP/Prophecy compatible! )
• An Internet Connection (duh)
• WinRAR (if you don't have it, what are you doing here? :S )

Now download these three files:

• 4.01 Official Firmware

Quote:

http://rapidshare.com/files/173391315/401OFW_by_NiTeShADe.RAR http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/1506

• Rain's Simple MMS Maker v.10

Quote:

http://rapidshare.com/files/173390342/RainMMSFull.rar

(ONLY FOR PHAT PSPs I.E. PSP-1000s)
• 1.50 Official Firmware

Quote:

http://rapidshare.com/files/173391810/150OFW_by_NiTeShADe.rar http://www.psp-hacks.com/file/4

When downloaded, extract the 'RainMMSFull.rar' file to somewhere you will find it.



Now plug your Memory Stick (via card reader) or PSP (via USB) into your computer. Now, find the RainMMS.exe on your desktop, and double click it



When opened, it should look like this:



Now, make sure the top drop-down menu is '4.01 OFW/M33-2 (DCv7)' so this is done correctly.

When that is selected, press 'Load EBOOT' then the bottom screen will open.



Now select your '401.PBP from the menu, and press 'Open'



Now make sure the 'Format Memory Stick' box is selected, and make sure 'USB Version Fake Plugin' and '1.50 Kernel Addon Installer' are also selected (Once you press this, you need to load your 1.50 Official Firmware by pressing '1.50 EBOOT' and finding it. [Only for PHAT PSP I.E. PSP-1000s]. The 'Pandora Trigger Button' should be on L - if not, change it to it.

Under 'Other Functions' from the drop-down menu, select 'Format & Inject IPL & Create Folders' and now click 'Make MMS'

Make sure, that when it is creating it, to NOT click the Magic Memory Stick creator anywhere in its window area.
If you click it, it will look like its frozen, and when its finished, you will have a corrupt Magic Memory Stick.

When finished, you have created your Magic Memory Stick. w00t!



2. Make the Pandora Battery (JigKick Battery)

Making a Pandora Battery allows the PSP to enter 'Service Mode' which will let the PSP to boot off the Magic Memory Stick.

With booting from the Magic Memory Stick, we replace the system files that are the original PSP's firmware to the Custom Firmware.

This is also for if your PSP is bricked. It replaces the stuffed up firmware with a new firmware. Using this method can also allow you do 'fix' your PSP's original firmware and can also downgrade your PSP's firmware if needed.

When the PSP battery is inserted, the PSP reads from the battery's EEPROM which is something in binary code: 00101000101110010101001 (not actual code, just an example of binary). Making a Pandora or 'JigKick' battery, sets that code to all 1's ( 1111111111111111111111 ) which makes the PSP enter 'Service Mode'.

For this, I give you four options:

1. Buy a hybrid two-in-one battery from the internet. These are special batteries that can be used as a normal PSP battery or a pandora battery at the press of a button. You can buy one from here:

I did - its still working fine. Once you've received yours, just skip down to step 3, because none of this section has anything to do with you anymore .

2. Buy a tool battery converter that converts PSP batteries (2000 or 1000) into a service tool battery (Pandora/JigKick). You can buy one from here:

Plug your battery in, push the button, and abra cadabra, its a Pandora battery. Again, skip down to Step 3, because none of the rest has anything to do with you. Remember to change your battery back to a normal one after flashing the PSP.

3. Softmod the battery yourself. This is essentially the same thing as what a battery converter does, except we're gonna use two Phatties to do our bidding. Here's what you need:

• A Phat PSP that is already custom firmwared to 4.01 M33-2 or below
• A Phat PSP battery ( one is fine, because we will be turning it back after this is done =D )
• A computer running Windows XP/Vista (Again, LastXP/Prophecy compatible)
• An Internet Connection
• WinRAR

Now you need to download just one thing, that is this:

http://dl.qj.net/dl.php?fid=15895

Its name is LE Recovery Menu Plugin.

Now lets start =D

Plug the Custom Firmwared Phat PSP into your computer, and if there isn't a folder on the root of the memory stick called 'seplugins' make one. (without the quotes, duh)

Open it, and right click inside and go to 'New > Text Document'

Name that text document 'vsh' (without the quotes)

Open that newly created vsh.txt document.

Copy and Paste 'ms0:/seplugins/recovery.prx' into it and save it (without the quotes)

Now, double-click on the LE Recovery menu archive you downloaded, and double click the 'SEPLUGINS' folder. Now copy and paste the 'recovery.prx' file in there to the 'seplugins' folder on the PSP.

Exit USB Connection.

Now fully power off the custom firmwared Phat PSP by holding up the power button.

Now press the R shoulder button while turning back on.

You are now in the Recovery Menu.

Now navigate down to plugins. press X and then navigate down to 'recovery.prx [VSH]' and press X on it to enable on it.

Exit recovery menu.

Now on your PSP XMB, hold the R shoulder button and press the Music Note button.

When that menu comes up, go to Extends, and navigate down to 'Pandora' press X on it.

Now navigate down to Pandora Battery, and press X, then wait about 10 seconds and press X again.

Keep on pressing circle until you are out of the LE recovery menu.

Now, you have a softmodded pandora battery that works in a Phat and a Slim & Lite PSP.
(You do basically the same to turn the battery back to normal)

Go to Step 3.


4. Hardmod the battery. It involves opening up the battery and soldering off a pin or cutting a cord, which depends on what PSP Battery you have.

You will need a spare battery because when you make it Pandora, there is no way of using it as a normal battery.

So lets start =D

CAUTION: If done wrongly with the Phat PSP battery, it could blow off your hand. So at YOUR OWN RISK )

IMPORTANT: PHAT PSP-1000's PANDORA BATTERY WILL WORK WITH A PSP SLIM & LITE, BUT A PSP SLIM & LITE's PANDORA BATTERY WILL NOT WORK WITH A PSP PHAT

Making the Battery:

PHAT BATTERY

You Will Need:
For PSP Phat Battery
• Any PSP Phat Battery
• Guitar Pick
• Soldering Iron with a very fine conical tip
• Xacto-Knife with sharp tip / Steak knife / Scissors
• A VERY steady hand
• Crazy Glue / Super Glue / Tape

First off, you will need to crack into the case, this isn't too hard, just slide the guitar pick across the sides to crack it open



Now we need to remove the 5th pin from a chip that has the model number S93C56 printed on it. Here is a magnified view below:



The newer PSP Phat batteries have a different layout, but you will still need to remove that 5th pin from that same circuit.

Now we need to remove that pin, there are a lot of ways to do this, like snapping off the pin. But this is most likely the easiest way and less damaging to the circuit board in the battery.

Use the Xacto-Knife, and try and put it under the pin. Get someone to hold the Xacto-knife while you hold the soldering iron on the pin. When the solder melts, pop the pin up with the knife. Just make sure you don't hold it for too long because it could make the battery too hot and blow it up.

When you are done, it should look something like this:



And now your done, close the case and glue it together with some super glue or crazy glue.

Or you can tape it together, but that is not recommended because it will be very tight in the Battery Holder on the PSP and will take some effort to put it in and take it out.

And now this can be used just like a Pandora battery for either PSP Phat or Slim.

SLIM & LITE BATTERY

You Will Need:
• PSP Slim & Lite battery model PSP-S110 (3.6v 1200mAh) (Original PSP Slim & Lite Battery)
• Guitar Pick
• Magnifying Glass (Recommended but not needed)
• Sharp Utility Knife
• Crazy Glue / Super Glue / Packing Tape

Open the battery case using a guitar pick. Slide around the sides and bottom until the seals break.

Take a bit more care around the top breaking the seal since there is where the connectors for the circuit board connect to the top of the battery which connects to the PSP power connector.

Now that its open, there you should see a small circuit board connected to the lithium-ion battery by 2 small pieces of metallic foil. Gently, and with a bit of time, unfold the circuit board away from the battery pack and lay out flat.



Now in the top-left corner of the circuit board, if your looking at it like I am, you should see the number 19.



Now, using the utility knife, and it being very sharp will make it easier (this will be a lot easier if you have a magnifying glass) cut on the '19' line.
The end product ( the cord cut ) should look something like this:



Now refold the circuit board back into place, and put the battery back together. Now for the start here, use packing tape just to make sure it works. Once all sealed, let's test it to see if it works. Put it in your PSP. Once it touches the PSP's connectors, the PSP should turn on automatically.

If it did, it worked and you can get rid of the packing tape and stick it together with super glue and then it is fully pandorized and cannot be turned back.

If it didn't turn back on, leave the battery in there and try turning the power on yourself. If it does, you need to make the cut deeper, if it didn't turn back on, either your battery was flat before you started, or you cut too deep and stuffed up the PSP battery entirely. If you have stuffed it, I recommend, not re-trying it, but buying a Hybrid 2-in-1 battery (links are above)

And now you have a Pandora Battery.



3. Custom Firmware the PSP to 4.01 M33-2

Now since you have a Pandora Battery (Tool Battery/JigKick Battery), its time to load the firmware from the Magic Memory Stick using the newly-created battery you just created/bought.

You Will Need:
• PSP-1000 (Phat) or PSP-2000 (Slim & Lite) with any Official Firmware or bricked
• Your newly-created Pandora Battery
• Your newly-created Magic Memory Stick

Take out the battery (Pandora or otherwise).

Put your Magic Memory Stick in the PSP.

Hold the L Trigger Button on the PSP and insert the Pandora Battery. Your PSP's power should come on automatically and after a few seconds, it will enter 'Service Mode'

You should see something like this:



Now you should have seven options (as above):
1. Install 4.01 M33
2. Install 4.01 OFW
3. NAND Operations
4. Hardware Info
5. Test M33
6. Shutdown
7. Reboot Device

We are going to do the first option, but first, I'll explain what each option means.

The first option lets us install 4.01 M33-2 Custom Firmware on our PSP's system.

The second option updates the PSP to the Official Firmware, and in this case it is 4.01

The third option copies all the files that is on the PSP system's memory to your memory card (Approx 32mb for Phat PSP, and approx 64mb for Slim & Lite PSP)

The fourth option tells you your PSP Model, Motherboard, Tachyon, Baryon, Pommel, Nand Size and Fuse ID.

The fifth option lets you test the M33 firmware on the Magic Memory Stick (4.01 M33-2)

The sixth option shutdowns the PSP

And the seventh option reboots the PSP.

So navigate up to the first option and pres X to install the Custom Firmware and when it prompts you to turn off your PSP using X, press it. Not doing so, could potentially damage your PSP beyond repair.

Now turn the PSP back on not holding any buttons. If done correctly, it should turn back on like your PSP did before any of this.

If not, redo the steps above until it did.

Now just to make sure you did the steps correctly, go into Settings>System Settings>System Information. The system software should read '4.01 M33-2' if not, redo the steps above.

If it does, you have done it, and you either unbricked your PSP or downgraded (or upgraded :S) to a Custom Firmware.

So put in your spare battery (non-pandorized) and if this is your only memory stick, format the memory stick! Now you are fully done!

FOR PHATTIES:

Navigate to your Game menu and go to Memory Stick.

There is the Installer for 1.50 Kernel Addon for 4.01

Press X on it and go through the steps, and do whatever it says.

And now you can play homebrew games on your PSP-1000!!!



EXTRA:

While we're still here, let's take a look at the 'M33 Recovery Menu'
To get into the menu, hold your power switch up until the PSP is fully off.

And when turning back on, hold the R trigger Button

You are now in the 'M33 Recovery Menu'


Toggle USB: Same as USB Connection in the XMB

Configuration:
Skip Sony Logo: Skips Sony logo on booting up
Hide corrupt icons: Hides any icons that are corrupt on the XMB
Game folder homebrew: Has a kernel already in there, but you still need to install it on a Phat PSP (I think)
