I loaded 6.60-B9 on my $99 PSP Go today, and I'm really pleased with how easy it was... I had Kingdom Hearts BBS UMD ripped and running on my Go in less than 20 minutes... When I want official firmware, I just turn it off... rebooting to 660Pro takes less than ten seconds from clicking X on the icon to being up and running with the CFW... Absolutely the best of both worlds!
Nice, I noticed they were not listing them online for US anymore, but called and places around here have them for $99 too.Kazerei said:
Is there anything I need to know about getting it running on the PSPgo? I've had a PSP-1000 modded for quite sometime, so I can get my UMDs off easily enough.
I have a PSP-1000 that I'm using to rip and play my UMDs.
I just got a new Go to play.
I just want to install the newest firmware, and sign the games on my computer/psp1000 and play them on OFW on the Go.
That should be all I need right?
Lots of people have had luck this weekend. I'm sure you can still find some.

I actually picked one up this weekend from one of those.

They're also $99 at those Electronic vending machines at Macy's.Macstorm said:

Fast and easy... Only thing that I got hung up on (for about three minutes) is that the ISO files ripped from UMD must be placed in a folder named ISO at the root of the PSP Go memory (I was trying to locate it in the PSP\Games directory). Easy-peasy.
Here's a pic of my CFW go running Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep with the boxes for the first four UMDs I ripped and put on it:

Hi everyone,
Because my father, er, lost my dear PSP 1004 bought just after release, I'm looking for another PSP to finish the games I have (thankfully I've backed up all my data). But I'm quite lost on the current state of custom firmware, how to install them and which models (and FW) are compatible (at that time I used the GTA LCS exploit to install 1.50 on my psp :lol).
1°) Which model should I buy in order to install CFW ? Does it work with PSP Go ?
2°) Which FW is ok to install CFW ?
3°) Does Birth By Sleep work with PSP Go now ?
Thank you.

1. You can buy any model if you don't care for permanent firmware (semi-permanent is gone when you reset/turn off your PSP, it only takes a few seconds to boot back up into CFW)
2. 6.60 is the latest and CFWable for any PSP (can be permanent with a 1000 or hackable 2000 model) but I recommend 6.20 for PSP Go (can use permanent). You can downgrade a PSP Go to 6.20 btw so you don't need to worry about firmware.
3. If you have it and another PSP to back it up, yeah.
So really, just buy any model you want since they all can use CFW.

Hi, guys,
I'm still on 5.00 m-336. I have a PSP 2000. What's the best CFW to upgrade to, and how can I do it?

I've been out of the homebrew scene for a few years now. I have a PSP-2000 4.01 M33 custom firmware. I use the PSP exclusively to play PSX games. What version, if any, would you guys recommend I upgrade to in order to get the best experience playing PSX games. I don't have any issues right now, but I'm not sure if newer versions have better compatibility or new features or something.

Patch to the newest OFW (6.60) and you are good to go. I use procfw myself, super easy to use. http://code.google.com/p/procfw/ has downloads and guides.shuyin_ said:
Edit: oh god i was under the impression that was the last post xD. Oh well I hope CFW works without problems with E1000 when it releases next month.

I'm in the same boat as Gvaz. I've also got a PSP-1000 and would like to get the latest CFW on it that allows me to access PSN if I want to buy something on there. It's been a very long time since I've kept up with this.

Ok let me make sure I got this straight.
I have a Go with OFW 6.20, I used to do that thing with the load CFW and then when you turn it off you have to reset it again.
Will I be able to permanently flash it with CFW and still get on PSN for say Corpse Party if i do that google code dohicky?

So, I'm reading on this ProCFW, and lemme see if I have this right, coming from 5.50 GenD/Prometheus on a PSP-1001:
Install the AfterMarket modules.
Update to 6.60 OFW.
Run CIPLFlasher.
From this point forward, I'd be on 6.60 ProCFW? Am I missing any important steps, or completely off base?
While I have a functional Pandora + MMS to backflash if I brick it (or get it back on OFW and mess up the CFW install), I would rather not have to resort to that, as it'd mean I messed up somewhere along the line.
I apologize if I'm asking the exact same questions as others in the thread (only read the last 2 pages), but I'm finding it difficult to sift through the responses for exactly what I need, and I haven't kept up with the PSP CFW scene in... well, a long time. And Meji hasn't updated the OP in 2 years ; ;

Ah, got it.
So this'll give me everything I have now (ISO, POPS and Homebrew support), as well as a properly-updated store app and no longer needing psnfucker to get to the store/online?

Remember that Gen/Prom firmware might give you the "can't update you are on 9.90 firmware error" fix this by pressing select on your XMB and and change the usb device to flash0. Plug in your PSP to a PC and locate to vsh>etc folder. Modify the version.txt file to something like 5.50 instead of 9.90. I'm on 6.60 on my PSP-1001 right now but I've yet to get to the pro firmware yet.
Edit:
The rest is really easy:
Go to http://code.google.com/p/procfw/downloads/list and download 6.60 PRO-B10.fix1
extract the files on your PSP
Run Pro Updater press X when it tells you and it will go back to the XMB w
Then run CIPL Flasher
My ISO files work fine but I havn't tried any PS1 games though.
Hiya, in the exact same boat as you I believe, worked off the links to gbatemp to get 6.60Pro etc. I followed the instructions above, have Fast Recovery and the Update files on the mem card. I'm wondering if when you did all this if you had an ISO folder appear on your card? Mine looks to be unchanged, must've screwed up somewhere ><Crystalkoen said:

I've not done anything yet, wanted to make sure I have all the kinks ironed out before I go playing with it, so I'm 100% certain I've done everything correctly. It'll probably be tomorrow evening before I actually get the chance to do the flashing, due to work both days + class tonight and a Chem exam tomorrow.

I've been out of the loop for a while now, but I have my brother's PSP 3000 which has OFW 5.03 and another one with OFW 6.60.
I used to use HEN to put 5.03 GEN-C on my brothers', is there any way to put something other than lcfw on these two? If not, what are my choices now? It looks like 6.60 doesn't have anything for it at the moment.

Going on a trip, so I bought a Go. Sooo much better than that old brick. Thanks for the links, I easily got it on custom firmware. It's been a few years since I even touched my old PSP 1000, and I switched to Mac in the interim. Is there a way I can rip ISO's from my PSX disks on Mac and Lion?

That's because "Prevent hibernation deletion" is enabled.
It's actually nifty since it can act as a sort of savestate.

I have 6.39 PRO-B on my Go and was wondering how I update it to the newest firmware. I have it in the OFW 6.39 right now and haven't done loaded Fast Recovery to get it into ProB. Do I just grab the official firmware from Sony's site to update to 6.60 and then just get the newest ProB files?
Just to be sure you don't make any mistake, load the installer again to unistall PRO-B, then upgrade the firmware.
Awesome that fixed it! Thanks!
I see how it can be useful, but I don't like how it's always there. Just my OCD I guess.
