Scene dev Davee, known for their work in regards to creating various tools for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita, has graced the PSP scene with one final contribution. Released today is the 2.0 update to Infinity, a homebrew that lets you keep your custom firmware on your PSP, even after you've rebooted, meaning once you've installed a CFW, it'll be persistent. Infinity 2.0 supports PSP's on firmwares 6.60 and 6.61, for every hardware revision and model, even the notorious PSP Street. You can grab the official download on Davee's site, or through their GitHub, both of which are linked below. Instructions are fairly simple, requiring you to simply copy the provided EBOOT.PBP file to your PSP and install the application.

Installation
To install infinity you must be on either firmware 6.60 or 6.61. If you have an old version of infinity (< 2.0), then you must uninstall it first by using Chronoswitch 7 or higher.

Download and extract the latest version of infinity. The extracted contents should be:

• standard folder containing the tool for non-PSPgo models.
• pspgo folder contain the tool for PSPgo models.
• README.md this readme file.
• LICENSE a copy of the MIT license covering this software.

Instructions for PSP 1000, 2000, 3000 and Street
Browse into the standard directory in the download and copy the file EBOOT.PBP to the PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder on your PSP. If this folder does not exist you may need to create it.

Instructions for PSPgo
Browse into the pspgo directory in the download and copy the file EBOOT.PBP to the PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder on your PSPgo. If this folder does not exist you may need to create it.

Instructions for all PSP models
Once the correct EBOOT.PBP file has been copied to your PSP, you can run the application to install infinity to your device. Re-running the application after installation will allow you to select which custom firmware you want enabled. You will need to run the installer for the custom firmware before enabling it within the infinity app.

Infinity supports both PRO and ME custom firmwares. Consult the installation material for theses custom firmwares for further instructions.

Eh, all the games I am interested in work with the custom firmware I have. That being said if you have a 300/3000 PSP model this is definitely an upgrade.

I´ve been using Inifnity since the release, whts the changelog on 2.0? different from the old one? O:

 

[sys64738]

I have 2 PSPs, all of them is 6.60 Pro C Temp CFW installed.
I must to reinstal 6.60 OFW, or just install Infinity 2.0 over the Pro C?

AS SOON as Psded was released i traded my psp for it.
As a Psded owner, i don't care much about it but still amazed about author's tireless effort.

What's Pspded ?

Psvita, the irony is "vita" a Italian word which means life!

Really? I never heard of Infinity until this thread, but the last time I had a PSP, there was no way to install persistent CFW on 98% of PSP 3000 models (only systems that had with stock firmware and were never updated were compatible). Has CFW really progressed THAT much since 5 years ago

True permanent CFWs (CIPL based) are still exclusive to 1000s and early 2000s due to using the CIPL bootrom "exploit"*, then there was the 6.20 permapatch CFW which is coldbooting on any console%, then a similiar exploit was found on 6.31 but instead of creating a 6.31 permapatch CFW, Davee made a 6.31 and 6.6x hybrid (Infinity 1)
Any newer version (and remember the E1000's minimum system version is 6.50) doesn't have a coldboot exploit, but whatever new development was responsible for it, there now is some permapatch or true permanent option& on 6.6x

* it's not really an exploit if the private keys are known and the custom bootloader is properly signed

% any console that supports 6.20, of course

& I read in passing that the new development is that kirk keys were dumped - kirk is one of the security coprocessors of the PSP, so Infinity 2 may be possibly a "new CIPL"; until the exploit is documented, though...

follow the Instructions. don't wing it

 

[Robika]

First. Also, this is a game changer for me since I've held off on getting a used PSP 3000 due to the inability to install persistent CFW on most firmwares on them.

Dude I had a PSP Go and in 3 year I had to reactivate the CFW 2 times.

 

[Tomy Sakazaki]

What are the differences between PRO and ME CFW regarding 6.61? Any of them works better/easier with emulators over the other option?

"Street"? I've been out of this scene for so many years, that's a new one to me. Is that the 3000? I've never heard it referred to as that. Anyway, cool to see Davee release something. Makes me super nostalgic for the old days.

 

[ScarletDreamz]

i've never re-activated infinity. this confuses me a little bit lol

 

[digipimp75]

Works great on my 3000. Thanks!

 

[seseiSeki]

Whoo. No longer hoping you didn't brick your PSP (Edit: 300X) while installing (Edit: permanent) CFW \^^/

I got a 3004 a few years ago and read about Infinity. Installing it gave me new 3DS flashbacks. "Do NOT close the lid while downgraded to 9.0.0, because it bricks your n3DS!"
When I finally had Infinity on my PSP, I sighed in relief. But this update is great, since it removes that fear

Ever since like 6.20 there was 0% chance to brick unless you were using some weird Pandora Battery methods and whatnot honestly... Unlike the 3DS that needs downgrading and a bunch of roundabout methods just to get enough priviledges to run the exploits...

I'm talking about the 300X. Didn't the Pandora Battery not work on there? And I remember the warnings about Infinity 1.0 possibly bricking your PSP if something goes wrong.

Yeah, good thing those downgrading times are over now.

1000 - classic/fat - infrared, unmarked wifi switch on bottom left, "deluxe" umd drive with springloaded tray
2000 - slim & lite - wifi switch on top, speakers moved to top-front
3000 - brite - switched the buttons below the screen from semicircles to oval, home button changed from text to logo, thinner ring around logo on umd cover
N1000 - go - doesn't need a description
E1000 - street - all plastic, "fake touch" buttons below the screen (like home/start/select on original O3DS), umd cover is as large as the entire rear since it also covers the battery

I'm talking about the 300X. Didn't the Pandora Battery not work on there?

The pandora battery itself works on all PSPs with active electronics in the battery (so 1000/2000/3000), the problem is with the magic memory stick (no known way to date to sign a homebrew bootloader on non-CIPL consoles, the official recovery software is locked to the serial number of the memory stick and the one for 3000s is even undumped as far as the general public has access to it)

 

[silvershadow]

anyone actually try using their psp since installing this new version of infinity?

I am having a problem, not sure the best place to report it.

the first version of infinity with that latest pro cfw..all my homebrew worked after installing it. (the installer used a fusion 6.31 and 6.61 pbp files if u guys remmeber).

followed the instructions got the new infinity working, but after infinity is running, no homebrew works. (at first i was stupid and forgot to enable pro cfw). so i did that, but then when infinity 2+pro cfw is running at the same time, homebrew dont work but ISO/CSOs work just fine.

i have a bad feeling that only isos were tested and not homebrew.

even things like running the pro cfw "homebrew" a second time doesnt even launch it, it just crashses the psp and i have to turn it on.

to ensure that it isnt related to 6.61 and pro cfw..i removed infinity 2 with chronoswitch and went back to stock 6.61, then ran pro cfw without infinity. and all the homebrew works.

so i've definitely isolated it down to infinity being the problem.

i am using a PSPGO with infinity 2.0.3

anyone can relay the info to davee or does anyone have anything else i can try?

Greatwork

After installing Infinity 2.0 on my PSP, 6.61 PRO-C's VSH MENU doesn't appear.
