Hacking PSP hacking/modding F.A.Q.

[MegaAce™]

I'm new to the PSP Scene, just hacked my PSP to CFW 6.20PRO-B6.

I don't understand how to play .iso files, I put them into the folder ISO in the PSP folder, but they don't show up..

Can anybody help?

The ISO Folder needs to be in the root of the memory stick in order to play them.

Also PRO-B7 just came out. Run the update and press triangle to uninstall the current B6, then re-do the hack with the B7 files to update.

this thread is more helpful than an entire Google's worth of searching. I wish I could thank or +rep or something for you.

Helped me downgrade my PSP2001 from 6.38 to 6.20 and then hack it.
Now I'm thinkin about swapping it in for a 3000 model.

D'aww, thanks.

Is it safe to buy any used PSP Go's on ebay despite whatever firmware they are running? Will all be hackable?

yes they will be fully hackable

Nobody's ever seen one that came with a stock OFW later than 5.70, so even if you get a used one on the latest OFW (right now 6.39) you can softmod and downgrade it for a permanent 6.x hack.

Go for it.

6.39 temp i guess

QUOTE

If you are not yet on 6.39...

Download 6.39 official firmware (for PSP 100X/200X/300X) or (for PSP Go).
Place the UPDATE folder into /PSP/GAME/ on your memory stick (or the Go's internal storage).
Run the 6.39 update on your PSP and allow it to install.


Now to install the hack!

Download 6.39 PRO-B7
Copy the 639PROUpdate and 639FastRecovery folders to /PSP/GAME/ on your memory stick (or Go's internal storage).
Run 6.39 PRO-B Updater on your PSP, and press X to install.
Your PSP should restart into hacked mode. This will last until your PSP is shut fully off (sleep mode is okay). To hack it again quickly, run the Fast Recovery to get back into 6.39 PRO.

When you're done, you can delete the update off of your memory stick, since the hack is stored on the PSP itself and you only need to keep the fast recovery to re-activate it when needed.

Or 6.20, which has the added ability to be permanent.

No reason not to use the perm 6.39 PRO on a PSP currently running 5.50 GEN

 

[Rydian]

Think you meant 6.20.

 

[MrGizMo]

Hmm or i wait, because of the poploaders

 

[xist]

Think you meant 6.20.

Nope, the 6.39 PRO perm CIPL patch for fully flashable PSP's.
