Seeing as the M33 branch hasn't been updated in many years, go with a modern 6.x like PRO.

6.60 ME-1.8 if your psp is a fat (firmware that is close to m33)
6.60 Pro if your psp is a slim (not as close to the old m33 but also good and has access to pro online ) or ME 1.8

Thank you, I will use 6.60.

So I hacked my PSP before using this guide. I formatted my memory stick yesterday cause It got corrupted.
What are the needed files I need to put back to my memory stick? (System Version: 6.20 Pro C)

If you had a perm hack on, nothing is needed, just make an ISO folder on the root. If you had a temp hack, you'll want the fastrecovery folder/homebrew from the PRO version you have.

Yes you should. It's almost definitely a fully hackable model capable of running any firmware compatible with slim PSP's.

If it's a fully hackable PSP then no, the best option is 6.60 PRO with the permanent option. 6.20 is an elegant hack job to get a permanent custom firmware working, but it's not necessary on the PSP's able to run a custom IPL.

I got a psp go on fw 6.60, every time I try to use the Fast Recovery it only freezes and starts to shutter. It was working fine, even if it powered off ( rather then standy) i could recover before no problem. Any suggestions? I think its on PRO B?
EDIT...it can load and run a "regular" game no problem.

Rename the /seplugins/ folder to something else on the memory stick.

Don't even have that folder.

Sorry double post, messed up the quote reply.

Don't even have the seplugins folder?

EDIT.....problem solved, just deleted the cfw and starting fresh install, works now. Very strange where the missing folders/files went?

So if i get a psp3K from amazon, it doesn't matter what version, model, or firmware i should be able to at least partially hack it using this guide? (i won't mind having to use Fastrecovery every reboot to re-install the cfw)
just making double sure before i order one and waste 100$ on it when i'm getting it solely for this.

Yeah, the PSP's dead. Hasn't gotten an update in over two years.

thanks for the fast reply.

i really don't mind that it hasn't been updated. i just wanted to make sure that no matter what model amazon gave me (because it isn't specified), i could get the full potential out of it.
and for 100$, i don't think i could find a better handheld emulation device/portable console.

Is it possible to transfer games from a non-modded ps3 to a hacked 6.60Pro psp? Or should I just avoid it?

Today I got 2 second hand psp's for my kids one is the psp-2002 the other I'm not sure because the writing on the sticker is warn off,

I have followed the "6.60 PRO (temporary or permanent) installation" on the one that still has the psp-2002 on it,

But I have a problem. For some reason I can not copy any games to the memory stick.
When I plug the psp it into my pc it reads it and I can access the memory stick but when I try and copy a game over the transfer window stays up for ages and doesn't move until it closes then the psp is un-accessible.

If I take the memory stick out and put it in the unmodded psp I can copy the games over without any problems, and when I put the memory stick back in the modded one it will play the games no problems,

does anyone have this problem and know how to fix it?
