[RELEASE] Rain's Simple MMS Maker v1.0 (Full Version and Lite Version)

[Maffu]

Hi there RM.
I'm having a little difficulty using the installer to install CFW on my slim PSP.
FWIW, it's running 3.90 official firmware.

I've bought a tool pandora battery.

I loaded up the software, selected to load the 3.90 OFW/M33-3 (DCv5) cfw. Loaded the 3.90 eboot file. Inserted my card into my laptop. Choose to format, too. Made the MMS.

Inserted the MMS into my slim psp, held the L trigger and inserted the pandora battery. I get a green battery light, but a black screen. No menu,

I've put in the normal battery and it loads correctly to the standard psp screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

:edit: I'm using a Sandisk 1GB card. I've tried a Sony 4GB card and it doesn't work either.

Battery made wrong?

I bought the Datel TOOL battery, rather than making my own.

The green light does come on when the battery is inserted, without turning the console on, so I'm guessing the battery is doing it's job in that respect.

If your on vista, as with any MMS maker up until now on vista u must right click on it and run as admin. This is mentioned twice in the help file. Will try to make more obvious in the first post.

However this will be fixed in all future versions, in the future vista users that have UAC on will be attacked by a scary Vista dialog lol.

Tried running it as 'admin' on XP, but I think my user account was an admin account as there was no 'run as admin' check on the file, once right-clicked.

Admittely, I didn't try that on Vista. Will try again, right clicking and setting as 'run as admin' before I try on Vista.

If it doesnt work past that dont know what to tell u, havent found a person with a proper card that could use any other app but not myne. Solved every problem brought up to me.

However 1.0 does have some surface bugs that are ironed out in the next release.

Running as Admin in Vista did the trick.

Be confident in your application, RM -- it's been the only installer that's worked for me. Many, many, many thanks for the work and effect that's gone into this.

Hi RainMotorsports,
Great tool! Makes making a MMS so much easier. I have a couple of questions:
1. Are you planning on updating this tool for the new CFW 5.00?
2. When you make a MMS with a memory stick, can you still use that memory stick for general usage? What I mean is that does a formatted MMS prevent it from used to load ISOs/music, etc?

When dax makes a new despertar there will be one for 5.00, check out the new ultralites they do them individually.
The memory stick is still the way it was before it just has the instructions for the psp when the pandora battery is injected, plus the files for installing the firmware.

Good guide, thanks =D

just an idea for the new version, for a extended version, you should think of putting the firmware updates inbuilt so we dont have to download a heap of files, but just an idea....

bur dont do that with the lite version.....

and another idea, why dont you put something in there to tell teh type of the motherboard, so for people that have a TA 88v3 motherboard, theres no point making it.....



and to tell if it is a phat, slim & lite or a brite... (brite=3000)
