Having problems running Pandora on your PlayStation Portable? You might want to know that homebrew developer Hellcat sent us an e-mail announcing the third revision of the Pandora Installer for 3.xx. In case you missed our previous coverage on the program, it allows users to run a base Pandora setup on their PSPs much more easily.

According to Hellcat, this version now uses direct hardware access codes to set the battery serial. In a nutshell, that pretty much means that this will also work on Firmware 3.80. The developer also put in a few changes that improve on the second revision of the application. Here's the complete change-log:

* Uses direct hardware access code from Silverspring to set battery serial, so it should work on 3.80 as well....
* Can write and read back the serial to file (ms0:/batser.bin) - you can also use this to customize the serial by editing this file with a hexeditor before reading it back in (if a restore from file is attempted without the file beeing present, the default serial will just be used instead )
* Now shows current battery serial on main menu screen
* Upon request (and due to be found cool ) you can also choose/set the name of the memorystick after reformatting
* Like for the battery serial, put a file "msname.txt" in the root of your memstick, containing the name you want.

If you plan on using this, you should know that the program was not tested on a PSP Slim and Lite battery. The developer did mention that there have been reports that it does work, but this has yet to be confirmed. In addition, this program also has the potential of bricking your PSP if you're not careful. Remember to go over the Read Me and Quickstart files included with the application for full instructions on its proper use.
