Why upgrade to (yet to be released) Infinity from CFW 5.03

Post by Garock » Sat Feb 13, 2016 2:56 am

I still have a PSP with CFW 5.03 Prometheus. I have been hesitantly to upgrade to either 6.20 LME or 6.60 PRO-C in the past because I heard there are quite a few compatibility issue with 5.xx plugins in 6.xx
but now that Infinity will be released in days (if not hours), I want to know what will I lose by updating to 6.xx CFW? aside from Infinity will offer me a permanent patch
thanks

5.xx CFWs are heavily outdated, require patched games and have overall less features than the 6.xx CFWs.

Especially the 5.50 GEN-D3 and the Prometheus patch-CFWs are something that we dont recommend, because they had a nasty savedata bug, that corrupts all your savedatas (makes them only readable on 5.xx Prome, not on OFW or other CFWs).

You have nothing to lose, when you upgrade to Infinity. Worst case you uninstall it and downgrade back to 5.03.
