Copy the firmware to the root of the Memory Stick, renamed to UPDATE.PBP.Insert a formatted Memory Stick, equal or lower to 4 GB.Well, if you are sufficiently familiar with operating a PSP, once you have those files it's mostly intuitive. 4 GB or under memory stick (microSD converters OK).PSP 01g (1000 series, phat) with CFW, LCFW, or HEN.And the initial scans are unreliable on FAT drives, although this doesn't really matter too much as the surface scan recovered everything in our tests.įor the most part, though, Pandora Recovery works very well, and it's certainly one of the more capable free undelete tools around.Downgrade a PSP-1000 to 1.50 Why this guide?īecause going so low from modern CFW is far from obvious: version.txt spoofing to 1.00 then "updating" won't work due to incompatibilities Hellcat's Recovery Flasher also fails to extract and flash it, despite having a dedicated feature the original Pandora PC tools, if you can find them anymore at all, don't really work on Windows 7 and newer.īecause It's Possible, maybe you want to relive the "good old days", or to scalp it on ebay: "ignorant collector's tax"! It's supposed to be able to preview images before you undelete them, for example, but this didn't always work.
Pandora Recovery does have one or two small problems. This is much slower, but also more thorough, and has a better chance of recovering your data. This allows you to search for files by name, size, creation or last modified date, and again it's easy to recover whatever turns up.Īnd if these initial checks don't locate your files, you can always turn to the surface scan. If you're not sure where the files were located, or they were spread across your system (lots of JPEGs in multiple folders, say), then you'll need Pandora Recovery's search tool. Just browse to the folder where they were located, and you can recover them in a couple of clicks. It's straightforward enough: click a drive, the program quickly checks for deleted files, presenting them in an Explorer-type view. If you don't need that level of hand holding, though, you can close the wizard with a click and continue manually. On first launch, for instance, it fires up a Recovery Wizard which walks you through every step of the undelete process, even suggesting you check the Recycle Bin, first. The program does its best to cater for all levels of user. Pandora is a likeable undelete tool with plenty of features.
