Hacking 6.xx PRO CFW Release Thread

[Schlupi]

Remember when Liquidzigong said he was quitting the scene? Look at him now. =)

Sweet new release. it's about time I can play a clean copy of DJ Max 3 lol. Maybe now I'll actually try it.

Also, thanks for the update info.

is it possible to downgrade the PSPgo fw 6.37 to any lower? without risking a brick that is.

I have not seen anything like that for 6.37.

aw well, thanks for the heads up mate!

I'm currently on 5.50 GEN-D3 and looking to possibly upgrade so I don't have to bother patching all the new games that come out before playing them. I have a PSP-1000. I have a few questions though.

1. What is the advantage and disadvantage between 5.50 GEN-D3 and 6.xx PRO-B5 CFW?
2. What are the differences between 6.20 PRO-B5 and 6.35 PRO-B5? Not sure which ones to pick?
3. Will I still be able to run emulators, specifically GBA emulators on 6.xx PRO-B5?
4. If I upgrade will my old collection of PSP games still work?
5. Last but not least, what steps do I take if I do decide to upgrade? Step by step if possible. I don't want to accidentally brick my PSP since I haven't done any FW updates in quite some time.

Thanks in advance for any help!

1..xx PRO B5 has better new game compatibility. GEN D3 supposedly has better homebrew compatibility.
2.6.20 has an option for permanent installation. 6.35 a little better game compatibility (I think). Both are very good and almost the same thing.
3.Yes
4.Yes. You can easily launch OFW when your on PRO if there is a problem
5.It's very safe to use PRO. It's very easy to install as well.

Thanks, very informative answers. Sounds like almost a no brainer then. Last question for now, will my collection of old patched ISO's work or will I have to rerip the original games again?

Someone try tales of the World Radiant Mythology. Someone said they'd had problems with it on both TN-D and Pro firmwares.

The games should work (your old saves won't though!). You can keep both* TN E and PRO LCFWs on 6.20 to practically guarantee compatibility.

*make sure to run them separately, though (power cycle and switch).

First uninstall PRO B-4 permanent.
Then run PRO B-5 updater to flash new modules.
It will reboot to PRO B-5, and then run the PRO B-5 permanent patch and install

Nice, too bad he said that he won't release it though............

 

[xist]

Says he's working on a HEN/Firmware. All everyone else wants is a downgrader....

Yes, but only for his personal use. Not for public release, unless it is 100% complete (I assume he means bug free, and all the features he wants).

He mentioned something about how he wasn't going to release it, because people would only complain about the lack of an ISO loader (its not that he is against ISO loaders AFAIK, he was "happy" about PRO CFW being an ISO loader [although I think not so happy about them using his exploit without permission])

As for a downgrader, that'd probably be the best option. There is no feature available now that wasn't available in 6.35, and I think the only thing added since 6.20 was Qriocity, which could probably be added to PRO CFW reasonably easily if there was demand. Therefore downgrading to 6.35 or 6.20 wouldn't really lose any features, but would save devs re-writing PRO CFW for a newer firmware.

I am on Pro-B4 and I want to update to Pro-B5
How do I uninstall Pro-B4
And How do i put B5 after I update...

[dgwillia]

Quick Question. I know 6.35 Pro B4 has PSX Compatability, but its still only for PSN releases right?

Scratch that , my old Super Robot Taisen eboot is working. Didnt even realize it was possible now XD, god im falling behind on the homebrew scene

Yes, a downgrader is probably the best option, but i guess he doesn't want to since then, eveyone would just downgrade to 6.20/6.35. And those firmware are often only related to PRO and not TN-HEN, and TN is often forgotten and credits are not given to him. Therefore i believe that he is working on a HEN so that people will recognise that it is work and such, but i guess it doesnt really matter if he doesn't release it to the public

You dont need to uninstall PRO-B4, simply run the PRO-B5 update and it would overwrite the previous installed B4 modules with the new B5 modules.
Also the delete the old B4 FastRecovey and put the new B5 Fast Recovery on your PSP.

 

[flo]

So we don't need to uninstall the PRO-B4 permanent patch first ? Just install B5 right over ?

 

[Yuan]

What is fastrecovery folder utility?
