I wouldn't actually be too surprised if 6.20 CFWs didn't fall behind. No official features have been added in subsequent OFWs. Therefore there is no real reason for CFW developers to abandon 6.20 as a base for their CFW. Especially now all PSPs can be downgraded to 6.20 and have a permenant hack.

 

Does it really matter what modules it has as long as it's hackable?

 

So I'm still interested in this information. Would this be a clean install? or would it have custom modules?
In the link below (or the one in the OP) davee explains that the only effective change between 4g and 9g is:
•Idstorage Certificates
•Baryon Version

*waits for Rydian or Xist*

 

A little warning people should know before doing this: you'll be stuck on 6.20 after you perform the downgrade on 09g. Davee has already said he's working on a fix for this.

 

I personally don't see the point to this, but I also have different needs and interests in the PSP scene. I've come to appreciate the temporary cfw because it makes it easier to use a PSP with a legit PS3, and still get the benefits of hacking. I did this with my old God of War edition PSP (the all red one). Since gotten rid of that, but now I'm saving for a Go, because the Go fits my interests even better too. I don't feel the need for a UMD drive since I play all mine through ISO, the Go has twice as much internal memory as the largest memory stick I own, and it'll sync to a DualShock, which I can't wait to try.

I'm sure this is great for those that can use it, but I'm not among them.

 

Yup, read that. Had to put my two cents in too, ya know. Just trying to be active here again.

What the PSP scene needs, instead of this, is improved methods on what it already has. I'm still waiting for a fullscreen plugin that can contend with FuSa (which shouldn't be difficult if done right), and several speed improvements to various emulators. (Any SNES emu that can't play Donkey Kong Country 3 at full speed needs to be worked on!)

Either that, or those focusing on this need to turn their attention to the PS3 and finally crack NPDRM. I've got legit DLC that I can't use anymore. >.

 

According to Davee's original blog post, updating should work fine. It doesn't have 04g ID Storage certificates, so it will I think return to a 09g if you update it.

I have not heard of any bricks (other than the one Davee made while creating the tool), but with this sort of thing its always a risk. If the battery doesn't die partially through the process, you should be safe though.

 

He was primarily concerned with avoiding bricks while in the beta testing phase (I was a tester), so he didn't have people check if update ability was still possible.

Davee was theorizing in that blog post that updating would work on 09g 6.20 -- but he was mistaken. I tested on my PSP to see for sure and I get the same IDXFFFFFFFF error as everybody else.

I'm sure Davee will find a bix for the bug soon enough so I'm not really concerned. Besides, having a perm hacked PSP isn't a bad position to be in by any stretch of the imagination.

btw--Another good way to look at the situation is this really is a permanent hack. Nobody can get rid of it even if they wanted (good luck accidentally getting rid of my cfw, little brother)! .

Truly permanent indeed!

 

I don't quite agree with this.
All this do is give 09g owners options they didn't have before.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not useful for others.

If you don't like it just don't use it

 

There is a downgrader for the Go, if memory serves me correct the Go is 05g. Even than using temporary CFW isn't a problem at all.
