Hey,
A Looong time ago i did the Pandora trick to get to 4.01 m33-2.
Now, I’ve pulled the dust off my PSP-1003 and would love to get it up-to-date, but forgive me I’m a little rusty after a few years!
Can I use install this over 4.01 m33-2 straight off the bat? or should i do something else first?
Also – is this pretty much the best method for custom firmware these days? I feel like a n00b again…
-
Thank you very much! I never knew hacking my PSP 3001 was this easy and without the risk of bricking. Thanks again!

SensMe Fully tested & works like a charm
Hud Prx has been activated (Not quite sure but think this plugin may cause some sort of plugin disturbance)
Still haven´t tested nor figured out the cause of TN HEN E´s
malfunction Yet as for now i won´t do anymore examination of this problem since it would seem like a step back compared to PRO B 10 6.20 CFWAny suggestions or recommendations for which Homebrew and Prx plugins i should be testing next??
-
Hi Genesis nice that you share your test result here. (This may get a kind of lost here)maybe better go to http://wololo.net/talk and you should find some topics with working homebrew lists.. btw a few of the brews you called are even working without hen / cfw since they are signed for ofw^^

I have PSP3000 running on 5.03Gen.
Isn’t that enough?
Should I still mess with my current version?
Should I still upgrade to 6.60 (then to ProCFW)?
What are the benefits?-
You choose what you want to do . 5.03 GEN is outdated though , and probably doesnt play the newest games . Updating to 6.60 and then to ProCFW will GUARANTEE the best compatibility in both old and new PSP Games .

Cn anyone help me , i want to know what to do to play games on my psp e1004 via memory card because am tired of travelling with umd’s plz help
-
hey man its easy … first install 6.60 firmware and then install cfw on it….. i also have e1004. so once u download the files of cfw just extract the three folders namely cipl flasher (not needed , can even delete) , proupdate,fast recovery into memory card -psp folder-game. close the usb mode and go to games … there will be 2 or3 icons (depending upon if u added cipl flasher)…. open pro update….it will not recognise the model but u can install it by the onscreen directions…..fast recovery is for when u totally shut down ur device and open it again to se that cfw is deactivated….so just open it

OK so i would like to know if i can perma hack my psp3000 brite if i downgrade i have found a downgrading tool do you think you can help

Hey, I’ve been out of the PSP scene in such a loooooooooong time now. And apparently the psp community has increases and more hacks has been fix and stable.
So I left the scene right about the time TN-E and Pro where the only CFW around. Total_noob left the scene and so did I.but now i want to be ” Up-to-Date” but before i make any hasty decisions as to upgrade the firmware. I would like to know what are the benefits with staying on (6.20 TN-E)/(6.20 Pro-B) and proceeding to the latest stable CFW
I really want answers to people that would like to downgrade to and early FW and why?
[any information would help me out righ t now, The more the better

I forgot to mention Im running it on My PSP-Go…

Ca any 1 help me? i hav a psp 3000 (Carnival colours-Vibrant Blue)….i run 6.20 cfw…..when i upgrade to 6.60 and try to install cfw pro-c it cant be permanent patch…..Sadly i hav to again downgraded to 6.20……can any one tell me how to solve this problem….i really wanted to try the 6.60 fw…..
-
I just wanted to report that when I upgraded to 6.60 OFW. MAME4All began freezing after I select the game rom. I also ran into a few freezes when using some of zx81′s ports. Random freezes I can live with but mame still did not work. I tried a bunch of different versions of mame to no avail. After I downgraded back to 6.20 OFW it now works as it did.
I don’t think I will bother with 6.35 or 6.39 until I absolutely have to.
I have a 3000 and just wanted to report this in case others are thinking of going to 6.60. I should of followed one of my rules. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
-
i also use 6.20 and a 3000. If you use another ofw ver. you have use another exploit each of them is a bit different that´s a resaon why 6.60 don´t work as well as lower fw-hen.
Some stuff just work with 6.39 fw example leda.prx
6.60 fw is possible with all psp and pro-cfw has a pretty good HomeBrew support..
I use sometimes tn-hen to run some HB s which aren´t working with pro. 6.60 has naturel sony-game support and if you are more advanced you will note that a downgrade to the lowest installed ofw @ your device is possible!-)did you try 6.60hbl mame4all i believe there is one
-
I admit I didn’t know about that version of MAME4all. Perhaps I will try it again since now I am not afraid of downgrading anyway. There is still the matter of more crashes in some of zx81′s ported emulators but perhaps that was coincidence. Thanks for the reply.

works great

Hi. I am sorry, I am using PRO-C 6.39, just updated yesterday. My screen is black and sometimes there are some green and red blocks flashing on the screen.
Anyway, should I upgrade to PRO-C 6.60 instead?-
Try hold power for ~10sec.! Do you use plugins for example theme. What have you updated pro-hen or fw^^ Becareful or you maybe brick your device.

i got a psp 2000 running CFW 5.50 Prometheus-4 …. i want to update it more to the latest…can someone give me a list of CFW after that so i can update in order
-
Hi. I got a PSP1000 a couple of months after launch, which has sadly been in a drawer for nearly all of the last five years. I wondered about using CFW about three years ago, but decided to leave it. Anyway, I dusted it off, bought a few cheap games and then found this site. It seemed easy enough to use CFW now, even for someone as clueless as me, and I’ve just done it. So far, so good.
My question is, can I use it to play PS1 game Xenogears? I have read so much about the game but am in UK, where Xenogears wasn’t released on PS1. I would pay for it but can’t find it in the PSN store. Without breaching any of this site’s rules, could someone please advise me if I can play it using CFW 6.60, and how I would go about it. Many thanks.
-
… I’m sorted now. If anyone else is new to this and has the same question then Google, as ever, is your friend.
I used the search terms PSX PSP EBOOT XENOGEARS.
This took me to a source in the required format (EBOOT.PBP).
This file, in its own folder, goes into the \PSP\GAME\ folder …so in this case it would be \PSP\GAME\XENOGEARS\EBOOT.PBP.
I chose to use an ‘undub’ version of the game, with the original Japanese voices and English subtitles – delighted with that, as it’s my preference when watching anime.
I’ll be having a look at other PS1 games which are rare or not released in the UK, such as Tomba, Einhander and Symphony of the Night.
Happy days, and thanks to everyone connected with the CFW and this site. -
hi i am running vf coldbird 6.31pro on psp 2000 and has suited me well so have not need to upgrade but now am looking to update as some iso arent working what is the best option cfw for me any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
-
6.31 hen aren´t supported anymore downgrade to 6.20 or update to at least to 6.35.
After that more plugins should work etc. 6.60 is the best for games~

Does this work on the PSP 2001? I tried the “2000″ link and did everything right, but it didn’t work. Maybe I did mess it up. Please help. Thanks!
-
Need help, why does the psp restart when you turn it off instead of sleeping?
-
I hav sony PSP E1004 2A,
pls hlp me to unlok or hack i.
I m nw user to it. -
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could
a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better? -
my psp 3001 never looked or was better even with all my signed games. lcfw pro b10 for ofw 6.60 is so boss. few crashes. love it. love plugins.
-
what’s the diff b/n b-10 and C? can C run all what you can run on b-10? im a bit skeptical on switching to pro C :/
-
sure all your stuff should work even better. ..search changelog of pro cfw.. C offers free online game server.

I have psp street and I want to play memory card games how can I plz any 1 tell
-
I upgraded to this a while ago, but the icons for my psp ISO games appear twice in the game menu. Is there a fix for this?
-
Look into PSP/GAME i´m sure you got some files twice (shortcuts). You maybe can delete them with isotool or a homebrew sorter.
-
No that’s not the problem. You put iso and cso games in the ISO folder, not the GAME folder and I know for certain that I don’t put it in there twice. Also only one of the icons in the game menu works when I boot a game. The other one just crashes my psp.

PSP won’t update from 6.20 to 6.60 ever since I used Chronoswitch Downgrader to downgrade to 6.20?
So I figured it would be neat to hack my 2 PSP 3000s so I used Chronoswitch Downgrader to downgrade from 6.60 to 6.20 after that I installed the PRO B10 hack to the PSP then I installed the permanent boot loader patch for PRO B10 then I decided I wanted to take it off and so on my first PSP I first uninstalled the permanent patch then I uninstalled the PRO B10 and it worked perfectly and I was able to update my firmware back to 6.60 but on the second PSP I uninstalled the PRO B10 hack first instead of uninstalling the permanent patch first like I did on the other PSP and ever since then I’ve tried downloading the 6.60 firmware from the internet then downloading it to my PSP and booting it from the game section and that didnt work I got this The update cannot be started. The data is corrupted. (IDXFFFFFFFF) SO after that I tried using the built it System Update Feature and i tried Update via Internet and I got connected to the internet but then I got Connection to the server could not be established. (20000006) So if someone could please give me a solution to how to get back to 6.60 that would be GREAT! Because I sold this on eBay and need to get it shipped out soon! Thanks!
