You already have the files, you only need to run MSINST to make your Stick do magic stuff

you know when i go to run and i type cmd a little window pops up black with white leters.

[LouNGeR]

Yes that's the Dos Prompt

[CHRIS1981]

Yes that's the Dos Prompt

so i just type in cmd and then what shold i do? what should i type in it?

I have checked (via looking at the raw sectors of the MS), the IPL that is written to the MS is unchanged by the M33 software (aka: once you have installed it properly to the MS, unless you format the MS it should stay where you put it).

Normal format doesn't change anything, IPL stays there.

So what is it? Will the IPL get destroyed if I format my memory stick through my PSP, or not? I'm selling my fat PSP soon so I might not be able to fix my Magic Memory Stick if I screw it up.

IPL stays, I've only written mine once and formatted a dozen times, still it works when I put a Pandora in.

Just confirming because i thought cory said that the IPL will be destroyed. At least now I don't need to make the folders manually.

Hi everyone.
I am wondering is there anyway to install this firmware without a PSP 'fat' and extra battery?

Im not a PSP owner yet. I plan on buying just a PSP slim
is there another method of installation without the extra psp?

So... I run the exe and some stuff comes up on the screen. I wasn't asked to confirm anything. There's no change made to the file. I'm doing something wrong?

Load IPL Code msipl.bin
xxxxx bytes(59 block) readed
TARGET DRIVE IS 3
*****some other things I removed to save a finger sprain*****
signature AA55
Check free reserved sector:to small reserved sectors

This is what I am supposed to see, right? However, there's nothing happening on my memory stick...

Scratch that... I figured it out. I had to use the included format tool in Pandora because it wouldn't work otherwise. not sure why... Maybe it had something to do with the fact I was using this card in my PS3...

I don't have a friend who has a phat PSP. Will someone make a new way to install custom firmware without a phat psp?
