Installing a Custom Firmware on your PSP Go has never been so easy. In this page I’m describing the easiest possible way for you to install the most reliable Custom Firmware on your PSP: Pro CFW.
Installing Pro CFW on your PSPGo is simple, free, and is not much risky than installing a Firmware update on your device. It does not require any advanced hack technique or hardware modification. There’s basically 3 easy steps (you were expecting more? Sorry to disappoint):
1. Download the necessary files
- PSP Official Firmware 6.60 (Important note the download link for the PSP Go is different than that of other models, take the right one!)
- Pro CFW (latest version)
2. Update your PSP To firmware 6.60
Skip this step if you already have Firmware 6.60 installed on your PSP.
In order to install Pro CFW on your PSP, you will need to first update your PSP to the 6.60 Sony firmware (which, at the time of this writing, is the latest firmware released by Sony), if that’s not already the case. There are versions of Pro CFW that will run on older firmwares, but updating to 6.60 will guarantee the best compatibility for your official games.
To install the 6.60 Firmware, just unzip the archive on your PSP’s memory stick, in the “PSP” folder (you should end up with an “UPDATE” folder in the PSP folder, if you do things correctly), then run the update from your PSP menu.

3. Install Pro CFW
The Pro CFW archive provides several subfolders in the “PSP/GAME” folder. Two of them are interesting for us: the FastRecovery and the PROUPDATE folders. Those two need to be extracted to the PSP/GAME folder on your memory stick.
Assuming you extracted the files correctly, you will see a few new applications in your PSP’s Game menu. The one you will want to run in order to install Pro CFW is “Pro Update”. Just run it.
That’s it. You can erase the “ProUpdate” folder from your PSP, but keep the “FastRecovery” one.
4. DAILY USE
That’s it, I said 3 steps 
Welcome to the world of Custom Firmwares. There’s no additional step required to install the Pro CFW. However, every time you reboot your console, you will have to reactivate ProCFW, which is done by running the Fast Recovery tool from your PSP’s Game menu, and takes literally 5 seconds.
what is a CFW Pro
how can I hack my psp go
what’s a psp
your father is psp you are a son of bitch you rascal
my psp go still has the 6.10 ofw on it. I have waited till the full cfw is out(like now) and i have been following since the orginal HBL. I wanna put some cfw on it and i don’t wanna mess up like i did with my psp 1000 before i knew about cfw.
My question is do i need to update to 6.60 ofw to install a cfw?(sorry about the spelling errors im in a bit of a rush)
Yes, I recommend you update to 6.60 before installing a CFW. I don’t see the point of staying on 6.10 nowadays
Ok thank you. I will now update and install the cfw
help my psp go says update error and remained at 0% then says please contact the support line I can not do anything or turn it off
hold power switch for 10 sec.
seems like you use the wrong fw download go ofw http://coldbird.free.fr/ofw/go/660.7z use a full loaded battery or use power cabel.ok so…. i don’t kno how to put cfw on my psp go. can someone tell me how too…. i also need to know how to get the hacked games on my psp. please someone help me…
Put the UMD in the PSP 1k/2k/3k and go to VSH Menu. Change the USB mount to UMD and then you can connect the PSP to the computer and drag out the file. Your PSP Go can play that file if you’re on custom firmware.
bobby , put the CFW(Custom FirmWare) in your PSP > GAME foleder. Then in the PSP … go to the Games Menu and scroll down … in a folder games i guess ( i own the 1001 PSP Phat) .. And wolla your PSP will have the Installer waiting To be launched. And Adding HACKED games to the psp is quite .. easy .. BUT you have to have CFW running! Usually you get the games from Torrent sites like http://www.thepiratebay.org .. once the torrent is downloaded .. go to the psp IN USB MODE … copy the game .. usually a .iso or .cso extentsion .. transfer that file to the ISO folder in psp … and the games shall run smooth as butter for you … sometimes u might need to update the CFW by doing the same process as installing this one.. Enjoy and have Fun!
hi have put cfw on ok and updated ok just cant find a folder called ISO how do i put iso games on ?
Have formatted memory card and got iso folder but when i put an iso in the folder and run 6.60 pro b10 all i get is corrupt data please help
Wololo please help have bought a psp go have successfully installed cfw 6.60 pro b10 ,but when i put an iso game into ISO folder it shows it as corrupt data what should i do now ?
Does the umd work correctly? Maybe try to rip the umd again.
Games ripped from different region UMDs work right?
worked like a dream, thank you very much. my only question is this; what’s the danger of bricking with this type of CFW? i did have a SNES ROM freeze on me and i nearly freaked, but it wasn’t an issue.
There is no inherent risk of bricking in everyday use. If you start doing advanced stuff such as updating your flash (which is sometimes done by some applications that allow you to customize the look and feel of your console) then there is some risk. At that point it’s mostly about how carefully you read the documentation of a given tool, and the reviews from users, before you use it
So, is soft-modding it using this method better/safe than going for a permanent CFW on the psp go?
I disapeared from the scene for a while and it seems like since I last looked the PSP go is now completely hackable, so deciding which way I should go with CFW
The good point of this mod is that if you turn your psp off completely, you go back to OFW, without the need to install/uninstall anything. It also doesn’t disrupt the booting process, so less risk for a permanent brick in daily usage. Even though such a risk is already very low with the permanent solution. It’s a matter of choice, really.
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying. It seems easy enough, and if there are no compatability issue differences between this and the permanent solution than I see no downside to having to boot the CFW up again on a re-start.
Wololo, i need help ! I was on version CFW 6.35PRO and everything was working fine until i had a message to activate my system. Games wouldn’t start anymore. So i activated it which forced me to update to version 6.60 . So i installed CFW 6.60 PRO B10 but the only games that work now are the one i have bought ! I have followed instructions to the letter . What have i done wrong or what can i try to fix this ?
Sorry ! i forgot to mention that when i load a game i get “cannot load game (80010087)”
why cant i put custom themes on my pspGO now? i had 6.20 and they worked perfect. I have 6.60 Pro B10 And for some reason the custom themes dont show up.i Installed a CXMB but not 100% sure i got the right version. And Also where does the sdk folder And The translation folder go? Can Anyone give me a link which CXMB works for 6.60 PRO b10 That Gives Specific Instructions Cause i follow them fully and sometymes they dont give instructions on the sdk folder or where to put the files sorry if this is a long msg i ve just been stuck and have no clue how to get my Custom themes working again. PLz Help PLZ…
hey man i just did it the update my ofw to 6.60 on ur link and when i tried to do the cfw pro b updater (not the fast recover) it says “sorry this program doesnt support fw (0×06060010)”
please help me..thakns i have a white psp goPro CFW comes for various Firmwares, be sure you download and install Pro CFW for 6.60, not for another firmware. I’ll contact the authors of Pro CFW to see if they might have more info in case that’s not your issue here.
I followed these steps and got the firmware and also made the ISO folder in the X:/ directory (not in the root). I also put several iso and cso games on it but none of them appear when I browse my PSP GO. Is there something I’m missing?
This is very cool! I’ve searched in many forums and apparently, no one had gotten a brick on their PSP Go using this soft modification. I’m purchasing a US set and there won’t be any warranty as I’m not from the US, so I hope this doesn’t brick it :p
I’ll just avoid the permanent patch, aka the CIPL Flasher, right? But can it be used on my old PSP 2000? It has 5.50 GEN-D2 on it, but it broke and I am going to get it repaired.
i have psp E1004 System software version 6.60, could u please let me know if it can be hacked n if so how doi hack it. m new with dis psp n da hecks. looking forward to ur reply
Will I need a memory stick for this, or can I do it without? Thanks.
This is a weird question. You can’t do anything on a psp without a memory stick.
he´s one a Go 16gb^^ xd
but the use of ms should be ~save and helpfulI had the same thought – can this done using the Go’s internal flash memory or does it have to be via a memory card? Clarification would be helpful.
Gibbon better use a memory stick (you do not have to).
Pro cfw doesn´t write files to flash (permanent).
Special if you are a PSPgo user it´s very dangerous to write to the flash. The flash-memory isn´t the 16gb internal memory
I now have OFW 6.37 and my PSPGo is filled with signed games for this version. If I update to OFW 6.60 will these games still work? Thanks!
Signed homebrews are working with 6.60 signed game backup not. But you can fake them again to run them with 6.60 ofw.
..if you only talk about iso format ..they should work. 6.39ftw^^
I have PsP Go, 6.60, and i extracted CFW in games, and i see “PRO UPDATER” when i open system storage, and i start “PRO UPDATE” and than, when i press X to launch CFW, and X agan to start CFW, it’s just restart, and start in normal mode, and dont want to start iso games…
Milos you can switch the driver (m33/inferno/np) to load isos go into hen settings.
Maybe some backups don´t work most should.
HI
I have some qestions
my psp is now in 6.35 cfw pro 10 fix1

can I enter the psn?
I have psp go and ps3
I know much about ps3 but not a lot about psp
pls answersDepents one you. You know you can up and downgrade. Use faked version text etc. to enter psn with lower fw.
6.60 fw offers you an exclusive sony media service but you have to pay for.
I like 6.20 fw but maybe not possible with your go
Me.. thinking about an update to 6.39 to use leda.prx^^hey guys please help me i updated my psp go to 6.60 and i cant open update pro it says it doesnt support my FW.. what can i do
a. you download a wrong hen (fw) not Wololos link
b. you didn´t update your firmware to 6.60fix it: check you fw get “another” hen 6.20 or 6.35 and 6.39
or update to 6.60 and download wololo pro-hen link again
must i reboot my psp before run the update?(like 6.35 pro-b6 reboot it become ofw 6.35)or just run the update when it is 6.35 pro-b6

1. switch to ofw run the 6.60 update then replace/use 6.60 pro-cfwor if you just want pro-b10 replace the old 6.35-b6 with pro-b 10 (or beta c
