Currently my PSP 3000 is on 6.20 PRO-C. It is a permanent CFW, so no need to switch every time.
As far as I know I can only have a non permanent 6.60 CFW on it? I can switch from OFW to CFW then by something like a switch option in the XMB, and I am also able to let it do that automatically, so it is nearly the same as an permanent CFW?
I can always downgrade from 6.60 to 6.20 and then have permanent PRO-CFW?

There is already a 6.61 CFW?

Or should I follow this update?

I checked my mainboardwith PSPIdent, it is a TA-092.

Here It is shown, that it can go to 6.20, which it is, but others to 6.60. Does that mean I can't go higher? Or is the list obsolete? Meaning i can go from 6.20 PRO-C to 6.20 ME? LME also? LME is the non permanent one? Then 6.20 CFW does the same as 6.60 cfw?
A bit confunsing for me.

I honestly would begin with the question: Why upgrade?

6.61 CFWs have been available for a while, but I wouldn't recommend them. (Using at the moment, can't downgrade.)


EDIT: Btw, cool Firebrand avatar.

Actually you can. There was a hex edited Chronoswitch Downgrader for 6.61. If I recall correctly, I don't think all the models were downgradable with this 'hex edit version'. But I know for sure it worked on PSP Go, and a few others.

Seriously?

I tried the downgrade (like, 5x) cuz the 6.61 plugins compatibility isn't enough for me. (And that's why I don't recommend it.)

Could you link me this one?

EDIT: Just noticed I was using this hex edit version.

Hi, is there anything wrong with cfw 6.61 or 6.60? I'm new here and I gave my psp away a while back so I'm planning on buying a used psp go (to kill time at work when my boss is not around). I checked its system info and found it's running on CFW 6.35.

The last MH game I played on my psp was MHF2, and I'm planning on playing MH3 when I buy the psp go on cfw 6.35 but a friend told me to make sure I'm using cfw 6.60 so I can play with him.

Are there any reasons why I shouldn't upgrade the CFW? And I'm also planning on playing a few games I wasn't able to play on my last PSP (because god knows how long ago that wasssssss........) like Dangan Ronpa, FF type- 0 and la pucelle and uhm a few otome games like tokimeki and sweet fuse....

I've forgotten how CFWs work but I'm pretty sure some new games won't work on an earlier FW, so can you guys help me out, should I upgrade to 6.60 or 6.61 or keep it at 6.35? Will I still be able to play the aforementioned games??

Hm did it not work for you? It worked just fine on my PSP Go when I last used it.

Oh, well. I'm sticking with the 6.61 LME since the 6.61 PRO seems more problematic.

@sejalovesralph
Wrong? I wouldn't say wrong, but 6.60 is just fine.

Can't say about 6.20 games compatibility cuz my PSP was in 6.60 for most of his life (but I guess newer games like Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force Special works just fine). You also didn't specify if you prefer a permanent CFW or not.

Anyway, just make it 6.60 and you can play anything (even that behemoth called Type-0).

@Hargrun
Thanks for the reply! I'll go for 6.60 then.

I have no idea what the difference is between a permanent and temporary CFW, anyone care to elaborate?

The existing CFW on the psp go is PRO 6.35, is that permanent?

Many thanks for anyone who'd answer!

Basically some people find it annoying having to "re-activate the CFW" every time they turn the PSP on... Simply cuz it takes, like, 5 seconds. (Life is short, so abuse the sleep mode and #@$! the battery.)

If when you turn on your PSP it's already on the CFW, it's permanent. But I must warn that not all models support permanent CFW.


Tbh I just don't care about permanent stuff, so I would advise you seek appropriate info if you're still interested:

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
