Release Notes:
Here you have it, an all-in-one solution for your Pandora Needs.

This program is designed to prepare your PSP Memory Stick to be used with the Pandora Battery. Unfortunately this program can not change your Battery to Pandora, however it will copy programs to the Memory Stick in order for you to do this yourself.

The GUI has been improved this time around, using a Status Bar to show the progress of the installation process rather than a popup box. There was also a small bug found in v2.2 where the M33 1.50 Kernel Addon Installers wasn't working properly, this has now been fixed as well.

The Backup / Restore system has been improved now too, it will now save your Backup to a .zip file, where you have the option of using a stronger compression as well. So for example if your memory stick has lots of large files, the stronger compression will take longer to create your backup file.

As far as Support Tools go, there have been a few more updates. Hellcat's Recovery Flasher 1.32 has been added to the Pandora Support Tools, and AutoStartPRX 5, CPU-Modulator 0.20 and CW Cheat 0.2.2 Rev D have been added for the XMB Tools.

I hope you enjoy this new release...

I think you should check via registry if the selected drive is in fact a PSP. Other than that this is another great addition =).



PS: SixxPack is annoying to get rid off XD

I'll eventually get around to a better PSP Detection system, it's probably the last thing coding-wise I have to implement.

I have some source code here for it, just need to convert it over.
