Pro CFW B6 released, going open source, and compatible with Firmware 6.39
Developers Coldbird and Virtuous Flame are now delivering their baby to the world of developers (and users!), by delivering their last update, a few hours before the deadline of the Genesis competition. Talk about cliffhangers 🙂
Coldbird just announced that the Pro CFW is now going open source, and on top of that is now becoming compatible with firmware 6.39. You can now choose if you want to install this CFW on your OFW 6.20, 6.35, or 6.39. And we all like to have the choice.
If you don’t know what Pro CFW is yet, here’s what their google code page has to say about it:
- Homebrew Compatible – Run your own unsigned applications, both user and kernel mode.
- Plugin Compatible – Add new features to your PSP via kernel mode background plugins.
- ISO / CSO Game Dump Playback – Backup your own UMD discs via USB and play them from Flash Storage.
- 2g+ Memory Range Unlock – Use the previously locked RAM range within your own homebrews.
- NODRM Engine – Use your bought DLCs, no matter on which PSN account you are currently logged in.
- PSX Emulator Unlock – Play your PSX classics, yes – all of them. Not just PSN titles.
- And a lot more…
About Open Source
In a private discussion, I shared my concerns with open sourcing Pro CFW. It is sure great that many devs can now contribute to a common project, but there is still the fear that some stealers will use the source in their own project. I use the opportunity to remind people who would like to benefit from this project without giving back, that pro CFW is released under the GPL License. If you re-use their code for your own CFW, you have to release the source of your CFW as well.
Hopefully this is the first step of something great for the PSP scene. As Coldbird told me, “Let’s hope this will lead to something similar to the cyanogenmod community on android”
Download
All 3 versions (6.20, 6.35, 6.39) as well as the GPL source code can be downloaded from the project’s page here
where is the changelog? and no permanent patch for 6.20?
There is. Just download the 6.20 binary, it will contain all 3 folders, including the permanent bootloader.
Great job, you guys are the best. 😀
Any idea on when’s the PRO-C coming out?
hey, is 6.39 compatible on 1k – 3k psp’s? Tnx in advance
i tested the 6.39 on my 3k works perfectly! 🙂
tro bien MERCI Coldbird et merci wololo pour la new
Yes. 6.39 works on all generations, as listed on the Project Homepage.
Yes. 6.39 version works on all generations, as described on the Project Main Page.
This is very awesome!!! Ive waited for this for almost every day, checking wololo almost every hour..hahahhah,tanx man.. your the best….but this realese sure is making me a little sad cuase it seems to me that you are already going to leave the psp scene. i would realy like to see a permanent patch on 6.39 on my psp go..
Yeah, me too. But around 2-3 months ago because then the downgrade released. Im having 6.20 Pro b5. Works great!
Thank you so much coldbird for this wonderful firmware.. Atleast we got 1more year before the psp dies, because of the NGP. Lol. You guys rock! Keep it up!

I remember sometime that there will be a homebrew applications that will allow us(players) to play online using adhoc in PRO-C I’m looking forward to that release:)anyway is 6.35 and 6.39 have perma patch???thanks
*application..sorry for the “s”

plz do not update to 6.39
i thought i a good idea but its not permanent and also none of my 6.20 plugins work(one i thought that my 3g model was bicked bu then on restarting it, it worked
downgrading back to 6.20
hey, is this true? 6.39 is not permanent? how so?
Hi I’m new can anybody tell me what to do with ISO files if I have 6.39 PRO.
thanks
is it compatible with .cso files? cause PRO B5 wouldn’t load ANY .csos …
Pro series loaded ALL my csos. You have to change the ISO mode to M33 Driver or anything else other than the Sony driver.
Want Permanent? Downgrade to 6.20.
To scared to downgraded? Why the heck were you trying to get a permanent patch?
Well not every psp can downgrade…
EVERY psp can downgrade with some1’s downgrader you ***
OIGAN alguien sabe como hacer PERMANENTE el PRO-B6 en V. 6.35 ????
Someones know how to do 6.35 PRO-B6 PERMANENT ???? I WNATED TO KNOW.
PS: SOORY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH ^^
i upgraded from 6.20 pro for 6.39 pro but when i install pro on 6.39 my memory stick light keeps blinking and then crashes each time
maybe you have a plugins that is not compatible with 6.39 ex. cxmb
im not scared. Its annoying! Every reset/off i have to patch it over and over. And besides, even if i totally brick my psp, i have the tools to fix it. I hope perma. Patch will come soon!
FINALLY!
first words when I saw 6.39?
ohhh shiiiit
Yay for having 1k. Don’t have to worry about bricks heh.
How can I install it?
“but there is still the fear that some stealers will use the source in their own project.”
-Wait, I’ve seen this before.. Oh, right! Some1’s ksploit!
There’s a huge difference in my book, the fear comes from people who take GPL code and release their “own” stuff closed source (such as what happened with some famous psp website when they released their “own” version of HBL for a while).
Also some1’s exploit has been made open source by himself.
Still, the CFW participates in the competition. I don’t think that using some1’s kxploit against him in the same competition makes much sense.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the PRO-CFW, this website and the Genesis Competition, but I do think Coldbird violates a rule here:
“The homebrew must be made by you. Updates of somebody else’s homebrew will be accepted ONLY if you prove that you got authorization from the original creator(s) to enter this contest. Please do not simply take someone’s source and add your name to it. We will find out and it’s just not cool. Keep it clean.”
..and this while other entries get rejected while there’s any code from someone else in their project. It doesn’t make much sense IMO, it’s not because Coldbird is an awesome and famous dev that he got privileges in this competition.
Just my two cents.. although I do understand your opinion on this subject. 🙂
You’re perfectly right, we will take that into account when we judge, but note that the Pro CFW was accepted in the competition before they added 6.39 support. A Kernel exploit IS a big deal, but we won’t be judging their CFW solely on this, there is much more than a kernel exploit in this work.
what is the sdk folder?
It’s for devs, just ignore it.
oh ok i thought so!
Cause there was no eboot there! 😀
ok i love virtus and colbird for making this but isnt it like your biting off total noob or did u kome up with exploit for the 6.39?
coldbird and virtous flame soz spelt ur names wrong first comment
SO ,,, QUE BIEN, AHORA YA NO SE TIENEN QUE PREOCUPAR POR COMPRAR UNA PSP NUEVA , YA QUE VIENEN CON 6.39 Y YA ES LIBERABLE,, MUY BIEN….
PEOPLE: IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOUR PSP GAMES ON TV OR WIDESCREEN …JUST DOWNLOAD THIS PLUGIN (FuSa SD 1.0.48b OR FuSa SD v1.0.50) TRIED IT WITH 6.35 PRO B5 AND 6.35 PRO B6……WORKS GREAT!!!!! GAMES ARE SEEN IN FULL SCREEN ENTERING THE MENU THAT THE PLUGIN HAS.
JUST START ANY GAME AND PRESS THE TWO VOLUME BUTTONS (- +) AT THE SAME TIME.
Woa thanks man! 🙂 I’m so trying that! I bought this cables thinking I could play on my hdtv fullscreen 🙁
Hey how exactly does the PSX Emulator Unlock work? do i have to have my ps1 games converted to eboots or does it play them as isos? and also what folder do they go in ISO or GAME?
Like all backed up PSX games (since the 3.00 days), you’ll have to convert them to PSP EBOOT format. They all go in the GAME folder.
I see, thanks for the answer shortboy. ^^
Thanks Coldbird and Virtuous Flame.This is amazing.It works awesome.Now on 6.39 i can play psx,homebrew,isos,csos thanks to
Coldbird and Virtuous Flame !!!!!!!!its freakin awesome.
Does this have psx support cuz thats one of my favorite features of pro b5
and where do u put the sdk or skd folder sorry cuz im sorta new
@PLATINI ………. OMG! are you seriouse dude, will it work on all psp’s.
I bought the cables a while back and was *** at the fact it wasnt full screen
“NODRM Engine – Use your bought DLCs, no matter on which PSN account you are currently logged in.” I created a Singapore account to download the GodEatersBurst DLC then swapped back to my NA account so I could get my Dissidia stuff. Now I can’t use my GEB DLC content without swapping back to Singapore….. Is this not working in this release?
So am I the only one having this issue? I found some stuff online that suggest to re-download the CFW and stuff…. I didn’t make any difference.
IT WORKS! IT WORKS! IT WORKS AHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA!… I mean thank you.
works fine with my psp v6.20 thanks to you guys, you are the coolest!!
Nice move Coldbird, nice to see stuff being open sourced. I hope more people will follow 🙂
