Extended Pandora Boot Menu (EPBM) v0.8 Released
greg | September 12, 2007
Hellcat enters the scene swinging his magic stick. Uh… Hrm…
Anyway, while we’re on the topic of Pandora’s Battery, here is another interesting extension to Team C+D’s almighty unbricking solution. Once you have a fully functional Pandora Battery setup with bootable memory stick, follow the installation guide contained within README.TXT. Shortly thereafter — thanks to the skilled up & coming developer — you’ll have access to new functions and abilities.
Key features:
- Choose to boot firmware from memory stick, internal flash or the original Pandora main menu
- Fix flash1:/ (the one holding the settings and config) by formatting it and creating all directories
- Launch an additional application (PSPFiler or such) with working access to the real flash0:/
- Launch custom firmware installer (OE / M33) with working flash0:/ access, so it can install the CFW straight from a Pandora boot without the need to downgrade to 1.50 first, no matter of the current state (and version) of the internal flash.
- Access flash0:/, flash1:/ or memory stick via USB (straight from the menu)
If you can hit once, you can hit twice. Kudos, Hellcat.

more pandora tweaks!! keep em coming.. i hope to see pandora for slim soon
@m33 3.71 is coming..
way to go! very very good! thumbs up!
The Pandora Battery is becoming the most powerful homebrew tool (+[PSP]::)
making life easier and easier, thanks for the good work.
Instructions are not clear enough for me, do you have to do all that editing or simply copy files over to MS? If all that editing is the way to do it, then forget it, wait for an easy installer updater!!!
I’m still amazed as to how far we’ve come with all this…to think that only a few months back, I was flipping out over having too high a firmware - to the point where I took advantage of my return policy and went through three psps before I found one with the right firmware lol!
Basically, Pandora_IS_the best app out there, certainly a must have, and Kudos to everyone involved!
this is great i finally got it working after much trial and error but it works great
no more needing to downgrade to install cfw
boot 1.50 off the Mem Stick
usb function
can downgrade if you want to
fix your flash
the list is by far one of the best ive seen, great adition to the Magic mem stick. i hope this gets going on the slim soon
great job Hellcat, team M33, team c+d, and the noobz team
can you guys please put it all together and post all the files already dont in rapid share or something related.
You need us to hold it while you pee too. Do it yourself, if you can read, then you can do it.
peace
Next, we need to perform a few file edits:
Open “/kd/pspbtcnf.txt” in a text editor.
Find the following line:
/kd/registry.prx
after it, add this:
# *** pandora module ***
/kd/decryptprx.prx
# *** /pandora module ***
Now find this line:
/kd/vshbridge.prx
BUT WHY I CANT THE /kd/vshbridge.prx IN THE TEXT? ANY IDEA?
They need me
I’m not really familiar with pandora’s battery, just wondering though, does it ruin your battery or memory card or something? Reason i ask is just when they specifically say “your pandora battery” i’m just wondering if it will make it unable to be used again or in a normal function?
no dude…you can return a pandora battery back to normal…just give the readme a quick view…i don’t know about the mem stick tho…i bought a 256mb to do this but i’m afraid to format it lol! anyways…this boot menu is awesome! thanks so much.
Hi, will this work on a bricked psp that does not start up because both roms are blank.
yeah it works on a brick
anyone can put the file which already?? i dunno how to make it.. anyone can help?
so you can basically install 3.52 m33 on a psp version 3.52 without need to downgrade it to 1.50 1st?!?!
CAN I BOOT 3.70 FROM THE MEM STICK?????
THIS FUCKED MY PSP UP!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!!
IT’S A PSPBRICKER VIRUS!!!
No, you fucked your psp up, cause your a dumbass, dont blame the apps that work fine for everyone else.
peace
You DUMB ASS. Read the instructions!
ok lol!!! how can you fuk up your psp if you already have a pandora’s battery…seriously, ur a dumb fuck
Pals… why don’t you look in the forum’s “help” thread?
Every time they release a “Pandora’s something” the comment zone is filled with nonsense questions…
use this with elf loancher on ps2 n u got a fully emulated psp on the ps2!
Is this Working on official psp firmware 3.70?
good work
“Launch custom firmware installer (OE / M33) with working flash0:/ access, so it can install the CFW straight from a Pandora boot without the need to downgrade to 1.50 first, no matter of the current state (and version) of the internal flash.”
So what a person that has a 3.70 Firmware is to brick is PSP and install M33 firmware straight from pandoras batterie?
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BRICK YOUR PSP FIRST!
……
CAN I BOOT 3.71 FROM MEM STICK???? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME
I WANT TO USE REMOTE PLAY
There’s an eboot released that will install all this by just a press of a button on dcemu forums…
Can’t find the link, since I lost track of it, but it’s simple.
Put this eboot in /psp/game150/pandoraextender/eboot.pbp
of course, once you have working pandora and your 1.50 update.pbp
and it will all install magicly.
I love how I can just install CFW from this and don’t have to install 1.5 first.
i’ve been really trying to find that over there, but i can’t! I did everything to install the extender manually, but it just gives me the “reset settings” blue-screen-of-death when i use the stick with the battery (i verified that the stick works when the original pandora files are put back)
If anyone wants the EPM “package” just holler and i’ll email or upload it somewhere (it’s all generic except for the CFWUPDATE folder which is of your choosing anyway. works GREAT after realizing that wifi should be turned off. Oh, and I have come across the broken config.se error. If you get a looping blue-screen-of-death after using epm to install directly a new custom firmware, just go to recovery, activate flash 0 and delete config.se there. you’ll be asked one final time by the blue screen to redo your settings, then all shall be well :) though i don’t know that this is a common problem (i’m using a TA-082, wonder if that was in issue with that little problem…
Again, I’m happy to share my compiled epm folders for direct copying onto an already pandora enabled memory stick, if this sorta sharing is appropriate :)
VIVA LA PSP!!
CAN ANYONE REALLY CAN POST THE FILE UP? I REALLY NEED IT… PLEASE..THANK YOU
my did not work it just started 1.50 firmware from ms… then i turned off the wireless and it just started up…
Just if any one have the same problem with no menu… just turn off the wireless
CAN ANYONE REALLY CAN POST THE FILE UP? I REALLY NEED IT… PLEASE..THANK YOU…
OMFG!!! the WiFi switch trick worked! can’t believe this hasn’t been mentioned in the tutorial, many thanx and nachos, ouzo!
CAN ANYONE REALLY CAN POST THE FILE UP? I REALLY NEED IT… PLEASE..THANK YOU…
Here is is! Just copy all the folders onto your psp, making sure to overwrite all your folders you have already (not including any extra folders you have in the GAME folder):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0ZXLE336
I’ve prepared the special CFWUPDATE folder, although it doesn’t include any actual CFW in it :P.
Remember to turn the wifi switch to the off position when using this. Oh, and of course, make sure you have the memory stick already ipl patched and logically formatted, as per normal pandora battery install instructions :)
i cant donwload from the website that u post up….any idea?>
Can i downgrade 3.70 official sony update????????
I downloaded your epm package and installed it.. Im a TA082 user too.. Im on CFW 3.52 M33-4. I try to load firmware from memory stick.. it works fine.. but i try to load firmware from Flash0, I manage to go to XMB with black screen on my LCD. I try hitting the Brightness button but nothing’s work. I only can hear the sound. Any idea where went wrong?
I am having the same issue as well on two other ta-082s (one without patched/corrupt keys). I have tried other CFWs and still I get sound that the XMB is running, just no display.
Oh and the same battery/memstick worked on a non ta-082.
the loading from flash is still flawed (or was that reading from stick?). if you’re already on cfw, why do you need the pandora boot, or did you use pandora to “upgrade” to it? I tend to stay away from the “emulated” firmware from pandora’s menu. i only really use the epbm to directly upgrade to cfw, instead of downgrading first :P. I followed the directions exactly and the menu loads, if anyone finds an error who has compiled the epbm themselves, let me know, perhaps that’s why the firmware isn’t running from the flash… but like i said, i dont’ use that feature. i’m glad you were able to download it and (i’m guessing) use it to upgrade to 3.52 m33 :) I tested it myself, reflashing my brand new perfectly fine 3.52m33 psp, just so you know there was a bit of sacrifice and testing going into compiling the epbm.
btw, i’m close to compiling a pandora battery/stick set to upgrade a friend’s slim with custom 3.60 firmware, wish me luck!
I installed the pack from the link above. When I try to run the firmware from the memory stick it just goes into the BSOD loop, it also does somthing to the memory stick that stops the Extended menu from loading. You have to reformat the stick and re-install everything. I think it’s looking for the config.se file on the memory stick, but I don’t know where to install it.
