While the Noobz's Pandora's Battery unbricker is a definite godsend, the problem is that creating this tool means you'll have to give up one PSP battery. Now, in case you're a little cash-strapped to buy a spare, we've picked up word on a tool that could help, courtesy of developer Booster.

Mathieulh reports that the coder has released an IPL code that, when properly installed in your target Memory Stick, will allow the Pandora Battery to function as a normal PSP battery (i.e. booting up the XMB menu). Loading your Magic Memory stick reverts back to the Pandora menu. Papayo over at QJ.NET's Forums further confirms that the tool works fine, although you'll need Windows XP/2K to get it working.

Full usage instructions are available in the file bundle's readme. Teh Luxx0rsz's discussion thread at QJ.NET's PSP Development Forums is also a good place to pick up additional details.
