Hello. I have been wanting to install the newest cfw for psp. I have no idea what cfw firmware is the newest or the best. I have heard of 6.60 pro b9/c/a9...gen d firmware...etc.

could some one explain how to do this? which cfw would you guys advise me to install and how?

One last thing, i remember that I managed to go to gen d5 or something like that in the past, but all my save data was corrupt. That is why i was forced to stay on 5.00 m33. is there a way to fix this problem if i go to higher cfw?It is a very big concern to me.

Thank you!

First of all, what type of PSP do you have? (Phat, 1000 Series, Slim, 2000 Series, Brite, 3000 Series, Go, etc.) Were you wanting a permanent CFW? If so, if you go to 6.60 Pro C, you'll need to have a 1000 or non TA-088 v3 2000 Series PSP (Can be shown with this: http://dl.qj.net/psp/homebrew-applications/ta-088v3-identifier.html )

As for upgrading, I suggest 6.20 Pro C. You can get the CFW file here: http://filetrip.net/psp-downloads/firmware-related/download-620-pro-c2-f31565.html and the update eboot here (for non Go users): http://www.mediafire.com/download/6kj00wdwe8nwfzp/Firmware 6.20.rar

The latest CFW is for 6.60, which is only permanent if you have a 1000 Series and most 2000's will work, too.

For the instructions, just follow the readme. I'm certain it's just the same as updating from any other CFW.

Note: If you have CXMB enabled on 5.00 m33, disable it. It will freeze the PSP once you go into settings after updating, that and it won't function at all. You'll need 6.20 or 6.60 themes.

If you are unsure about whether your saves will corrupt, you could always copy the save files to a PC if you have one available to you.

Ok. I do have a psp 1000. I just updated to 6.60 permanent pro c. My save files are corrupted. Is there anything I can do to fix this? This is the only problem I have with updating cfw. Is there some way I can fix my saves to make them compatible with the new cfw?

Saves should always be compatible, no matter the firmware. Did you back up your saves like ILuvGames suggested? This is definitely something worth looking into. Did you disable all your plugins before updating?

I forgot to make a back-up of my saves darnet. So if i move all of my saves to my cpu, update again, then put them back on they will work fine? but isnt that the same as just updating cfw while saves are on there? (i have no plugins enabled by the way.)

It worked for me "uncorrupting" my persona 3 portable save from my psp slim 5.00m33 when i switched over to using my 6.20 pro pspGo.

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated

    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
