Hellcat's Pandora Installer for 3.xx Revision 3 now out |

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.
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 being 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.

All the other Pandora programs require the use of a CFW but when you say this one even works on the new FW 3.80 I had to try this out.
I have already had all the eboots for various versions of FW to use per other Pandora Installers so I needed nothing extra for this one according to the readme file attached since it really only needs FW 1.50 eboot to work.
I ran it on me PSP and wow... if it didn't work. I thought it was usable on all Kernals and FW up to 3.80??? I see the icon for it just fine on my PSP but as usual with Pandora and CFW stuff I get a "The game could not be started. (80020148)".
So what's the deal?

How do I know this? I waited for the 1.50 kernel patch for 3.80M33, applied it, used the traditional pandora method and it worked FIRST TIME.
Don't try and say I don't know what I was doing with this one, i even tried to manually hex-edit the value in batser.bin to 0xFFFFFFFF and it made no difference, the program completely disregarded it and made no effort to actually write to the battery EEPROM at all.
THIS PROGRAM IS A FAKE AND THE "PROGRAMMER" IS A FRAUD. DON'T DOWNLOAD IT IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME, SANITY AND YOUR PSP.
