Klutsh & RainMotorsports grace us with convenience at its finest… Here we have another Windows app to easily create a magic memory stick for use with a Pandora battery.

As illustrated in the screen shot, PSP Grader not only creates a magic memory stick, it packs a few additional options: inject an IPL only, clean the Pandora stick ridding any files created by PSP Grader, and the ability to change the default trigger to load Pandora when you’re ready.

Now you just need the Pandora battery itself; use this tool (with an already hacked PSP) to create/convert one. Otherwise you can hard mod an existing battery; see here or here.

Features

• Download the eboot straight from the app!
• Load eboots stored in ZIP files.

Coming Soon:

• RAR & 7z Loading – Rar loading didn’t make the port to pascal but only due to time restraints, it and 7zip loading are planned!
• Backup Script – Once again due to time constraints a backup function didn’t make it. Grader never had one and mine never worked to begin with so I put this off till it could be done right!
• SPEED – While this app is no slower than anything I have written before it is slower than Grader 6. We have already begun finding ways to speed up the app and it will be sped up soon!

Hrm… Well, as far as I know, there’s no official confirmation from anyone just yet… But according to *cough* Datel, they’ve created what would seem to be a Pandora-like battery for both the PSP-2000 and the thought to be unhacked 3000 — alas, Datel’s Lite Blue Tool Service Mode Battery.

It’s said the battery will offer the ability to toggle between normal and service mode; as well, the Lite Blue Tool features a LED power gauge indicator for your convenience. Of course in service mode you’re given access to the PSP’s flash leaving the device fully hackable — downgrade, install a custom firmware, do whatever desired… Or so you’d think.

The Lite Blue Tool will be available November 28th retailing for $29.99 across North America and $19.99 in the UK.

Now the question is: speculation or realer than Real Deal Holyfield? I’d say it’s likely but we’ll know for sure in the coming days…

Quoting Datel — *cough* –

(more…)

Forget all the other Pandora tools out there, at least the ones for Windows… DJB’s PSP Pandora Deluxe is where it’s at — for real. It’s the all-in-one solution, and more…

PSP Pandora Deluxe v2.7 change log:

• Fixed bug with unpacking files that was in v2.3 – v2.6.
• Updated the following Support Tools: Hold+ 3.2 (XMB)
