[B]II.TURN YOUR PSP BATTERY INTO A PADORA’S BATTERY
Step 1: Logically reformat your PSP
Connect your PSP to your computer. And your PSP will be recognized as a
new hard disc, say K. Then click Start -] Run, input cmd in the popped
up dialog box, and click OK to enter DOS system. Use the below commands
one by one to run the mspformat file:
Input “H:”, and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard. (Here H is the
disc where the “panndora” folder is located)
Input “cd pandora” and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard.
Input “cd mspformat” and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard.
Then input “mspformat.exe K” and press the “Enter” Key on your
keyboard. (Here K is the name of the disc that your PSP is recognized on
your computer.)
After these commands, your PSP will be logically reformatted in a
minute.

Step 2: Open the recognized PSP hard disc on your computer, create a
new folder and name it “psp”, open this “psp” folder, create a new
folder and name it “game”. Copy and paste the “installer” folder and the
“battery” folder into the “game” folder. Then copy and paste the
UPDATE.PBP file to the root directory of the PSP hard disc on your
computer.
Step 3: On your PSP, switch to the Game option, press X or O (depending
on which is the “Enter” key of your PSP). Go to “installer” and press X
or O to run it.

In a few seconds, a file named “msipl.bin” will be created on the root
directory of your PSP memory disc. And now, you should take out your
memory disc and then put it back in, which seems to be useless but is a
very necessary step.
Step 4: Connect to your PSP back to your computer. Then enter DOS
system as mentioned in Step 1. Use the below commands one by one to run
the mspformat file:
Input “H:”, and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard.
Input “cd pandora” and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard.
Input “cd minst” and press the “Enter” Key on your keyboard.
Then input “msinst.exe K K:\msipl.bin ” and press the “Enter” Key on
your keyboard. (Here K is the name of the disc that your PSP is
recognized on your computer.)
When you see a popped up message asking if you are sure, click “Yes”.
Step 5: Go back to your PSP, switch to the Game option, press X or O
(depending on which is the “Enter” key of your PSP). Go to “battery” and
press X or O to run it, press X or O to OK every popped up message to
finish running the battery application.

Now, your pandora’s battery has been created!
III. USE THE CREATED PANDORA’S BATTERY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR PSP
After you turn your batter to a PSP downgrade battery (pandora’s
battery), you can use it to downgrade your PSP by following the
instructions below:
1. Take out your PSP Memory Stick and battery, then put back in your
PSP Memory Stick first, and put your battery back in.
2. Turn your PSP power on, when you see three options; select the
Downgrade option, your PSP will be downgraded in a very short time and
it will be automatically shut down afterwards.
3. Turn your PSP on again, and you will see a blue screen. But no
worries, you can just press the O key, and your PSP system is already
version 1.5!
Note: The above process will turn your PSP battery to a pandora’s
battery that can be used for PSP downgrade. But the pandora’s battery
cannot be used to play PSP games, videos or music. And the process is
not reversible. You will need to get an additional PSP battery for
regular uses. However, you can use your pandora’s battery to downgrade
any PSP to version 1.5 or even repair for .
Now, you can get a new battery and use your downgraded PSP to upgrade
to 3.51 or high version for play downloaded games, view pictures, read
digital books, and run various free applications unblocked! This is
another part about refresh PSP system and I'll expatiate later.I travel
very frequently for my work, and another big use of my PSP is to watch
movies on big and wide screen of my PSP. I have lots of DVD movies, so I
always put a few movies on my PSP if I am going to travel. I have tried
a few tools and the one I am using is named iSkysoft DVD Ripper. The
conversion quality is really good, and besides PSP, I can also use this
application to put movies on iPod, iPhone, Apple TV and almost any
players. I have been using it for a few months, and so far, so good!If
you are running a Mac OS, I have noticed they also have a version for
Mac users-iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac. But I have never tried it before
since I am only running Windows XP on my computer.
