Pandora ELF Menu 0.3a
Usage and features
****************
Here's another version of my ELF menu for Pandora/Despertar Cementario v3
Replace ms0:/kd/resurrection.elf on your magic memory stick with the one included in this archive; the PSP will then load it when you insert the Pandora battery & memory stick, and it will show a list of ELFs inside the ms0:/elf folder
Use D-Pad up/down to choose the ELF you want to run, and press X.
Hold HOME and press D-pad up/down to reload the menu if you encounter an issue
The menu fully identifies the PSP motherboard version without the need for IdStorage for diagnostic purposes
LoadExec seems to have problems if the filename contains spaces or symbols, so use underscores(_) instead. These will be converted to spaces on the menu, so they look nicer.
Applications containing _SLIM or _FAT at the end of the filename (e.g. blah_SLIM.elf) will be greyed out if the menu is not running on that model.
For example, keyCleaner_FAT.elf will be greyed out and unselectable on a Slim PSP.
If the ELF fails to run, the screen usually flickers and remains on the ELF menu. You must use ELFs with this app, not EBOOT.PBP files; see below for how to prepare your apps.
The menu also has a built in submenu for USB access to the memory stick and various flash partitions. See further down for specific information on setting this up.
Finally, there is a Shutdown option at the bottom.
I have tested this on both a Fat PSP and a Slim PSP with no issues.
WARNING: Make sure you have a recent, working NAND dump before using this app. I accept no responsibility for any damage or lost data.
If you have any issues using this on the Slim PSP (warning about nand/lfatfs_updater.prx), go to the PSP Slim heading below.

Preparing an ELF file for use with the menu
***********************************
1) Run PBPUnpacker (
http://www.pdc.me.uk/pbpunpacker.php)
2) Open the EBOOT.PBP of the application you want to run
3) Right click DATA.PSP and select Extract...
4) Save it as "whatever-you-want.elf" - the filename will appear on the menu
5) Copy the file to ms0:/elf on you memory stick
6) If the app comes with PRXs, such as IdStorage Manager, copy them to the ms0:/elf folder as well
Installation
*********
- Set up your magic memory stick with Pandora
- Set up your magic memory stick with Despertar_cementario v3
- Make a new folder on the root of the memory stick, "elf"
- Move ms0:/kd/resurrection.elf to ms0:/elf and any other utilies you want access to
- Copy the included resurrection.elf to ms0:/kd
OPTIONAL - To enable flash over USB menu:
- Get usb.prx, usbstor.prx, usbstormgr.prx, usbstorms.prx from the kd folder on a 1.50 dump
- Copy them into ms0:/kd on your Des Cem v3 memory stick
OPTIONAL - Extra setup for flash over USB menu to enable official firmware 3.80 flash0 access (PSP Slim only)
* 3.80 uses a new encryption, so you must perform the following steps to enable access to it's lflash partition over USB:
* Doing this will mess up USB access to 3.71 and lower flash0, and may break Des Cem v3's 3.71 M33 installation, so backup the two files replaced.
- Get PRXdecrypter 1.8 from
http://lan.st/showthread.php?t=1575 or
http://forums.maxconsole.net/showthread.php?t=92789
- Using PBP Unpacker or a similar tool (as described above), copy the DATA.PSP from the 3.80 updater EBOOT to ms0:/enc on your memory stick
- Run PRXdecrypter, pressing X - this will extract the updater PRXs
- Exit PRXdecrypter, and run it again, pressing X - this will decrypt the updater PRXs
- Rename the newly extracted and decrypted sceLFatFs_Updater_Driver.prx and sceNAND_Updater_Driver.prx in ms0:/enc to lfatfs_updater.prx and nand_updater.prx and copy them to ms0:/kd, overwriting the existing ones (make copies of the old ones first!)
- The menu will now be capable of accessing 3.80 files, but only on the Slim.
After completing the above, use Pandora as normal and the menu should load.
PSP Slim
********
To prevent the PSP Slim being bricked by flash0 over USB access, the PRXs nand_updater.prx and lfatfs_updater.prx are loaded.
If your ms0:/kd folder does not have these files, you have an invalid Des Cem v3 installation and need to get the files yourself.
To get them, follow the instructions above - "OPTIONAL - Extra setup for flash over USB menu to enable official firmware 3.80 flash0 access", using the 3.71 updater rather than 3.80.

If you find any problems or have a (reasonable) feature request, PM me on MaxConsole or LAN.st, or find me at irc.malloc.us #wtf
A 1.00-style (non-kxploited) EBOOT.PBP is included just in case anyone wants to try the menu in real firmware
It will only run from the 1.50 kernel.

I've left 0.2a up in case anyone wants it.
