How to Make a Pandora Battery for a Fat PSP

The ability to put custom software onto your PSP has been made easy with the discovery of the Pandora battery and magic memory stick.

Things You'll Need

Fat-PSP with custom firmware already installed
Windows-based PC
Memory Stick Pro Duo between 32MB and 4GB
USB cable
PSP battery
PSP A/C charger

Simultaneously press the \"R+X\" buttons to move to the next screen. Now press \"L+R+X\" to repartition the memory stick.

  Create a folder inside the PSP memory stick named \"PSP\". Inside of that folder, create another folder named \"GAME\". Copy/paste the original \"pan3xx\" folder into the \"GAME\" folder and move the UPDATE.PBP back to the root of the memory stick. When you repartitioned the memory stick all of the data was erased, so that is why this needs to be done again.
