The houdini trick for psp phat not tested on slims

[otic101]

with the pandora battery and pandora magic card you are able to switch back and forth from 4.01 m33-2 and 5.00 m33. i noticed this lil trick from lazyness and being cheap. I have been using my pandoras battery for my phat psp for normal use. you can void the pandora by going into the recovery screen after a pandora screen at boot, but with 5.00 i have noticed that it switches back and forth after the pandora screen. for example

this is what i call the houdini*
turn your phat psp on and you get pandora screen reset psp by the psp switch on the right side and hold R to get into recovery then exit, at this point you should be back at your xmb. for the switch you have to do the same but instead use the reboot option on pandora screen then hold R quickly to access recovery. you can tell what FW your on by going to config menu on recovery screen and seeing what kernal you are on it will either say 4.XX or 5.XX. so in reality if you want to use both FW you can without installing every time.
btw im using the DC7 with my magic card

this is a good way to not need 2 batteries with pandora; however i do not have a slim so i dont know what the houdini* method could do for it.

That's because the 4.01 files are on the stick... so it's kinda working like DevHook. Still... it's an interesting hack... but I'm wondering why anybody would want to go back a kernel! I'm not missing 4.01! lol

5.00 M33 is great! Let's just see what happeneds with the PSP 3000!
