COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO HACKING YOUR PSP 2.0 THE RECKONING Introduction A while back I wrote a about hacking (or cracking, to be precise) your PSP. It's been a couple months since then, there have been a couple PSP firmware updates, and with the Vita just launching in the West last weekend, I figure it's a good a time as any to revisit the dear ol' PSP. This guide will function as an update of the previous guide, and yes, I will be copypasting some chunks of text, but it'll not be that bad. This guide is updated to the PSP Firmware version 6.60. As far as my knowledge goes, 6.60 is the final official update to the PSP system, so this guide should hypothetically work til, well, the end of time. If there is another update (unlikely) I'll try and fit the guide to the new firmware.
But until then, to be safe, I'd avoid updating past 6.60 if you can (currently there is nothing past 6.60 so you should be fine). PLEASE contact me via either comments or a PM for feedback or any extra help you might need! I am always available!:) My credentials and disclaimer I personally have hacked three PSPs (I have no experience with the Go, but from what I hear it's not terribly different from the PSP-3000) and I do know my way around the PSP a little bit. Obviously, this guide is not going to encourage illegal activity of any kind, and I do not endorse illegal downloading of any kind to use on your psp. I am not liable for any damage that this guide may cause to your PSP, although it really shouldn't cause any. Well, got that out of the way. Once more unto the breach, my friends!:) WHAT YOU NEED A PSP.
A memory stick preferably larger than 2gb, but anything above 512m will technically work. More space = more ISOs, music, homebrew, vids, etc. Has quite a few cheap ones. I personally use an 8gb. A flagrant disregard for warranties.
The understanding that this MAY fuck up your PSP. Probably won't, but still. Step 1: What PSP do you have? This part of the guide used to be a lot larger. Basically you should know whether you have a PSP Go (they have a slidey screen) or, well, a non-PSP Go. It's not a hard question. Just make sure you know that for later.
Step 2: Update to 6.60 OFW Remove any UMD from the drive (thanks, 10billioncalories!) IMPORTANT FACTS: The firmware of your PSP is kind of like the operating system. When you 'hack' a PSP, you're replacing or modifying the original Sony firmware (ofw) with a custom firmware variant (cfw) that allows you to do things like play homebrews and ISO game backups from your memory card. The first thing you'll need to do, then, is to make sure you are on the highest current OFW (currently 6.60). There are two ways to do this, and the choice is yours (haha Morrowind reference. What you don't get that? IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON 6.60, DISREGARD THIS STEP.
Basically you can use the built-in system updater, because since currently 6.60 is the highest OFW, this should fetch it from the internet. This is risky though, because in the future there might be a a higher one. And downgrading is a bitch.
So I recommend just using the following download links: If you have a Non-GO PSP, download. If you have a PSP GO, download.
With both of those downloads, you should follow the structure that the folders within are set up as when putting them on your memory stick. Basically if you just drag that 'PSP' folder from within the download onto the ROOT of your memory stick, you should be good. From there, unplug your PSP and go into GamesMemory Stick on the XMB (Cross media browser). You should see an icon to update to 6.60. Click on that, follow update process, blah blah blah restart PSP and bam you're on 6.60. Step 3: Installing the CFW If you're still following the guide, congratulations!
You're almost done. Okay here is the fun part. The CFW that I am choosing for this guide seems to be the most popular and well-maintained for 6.60, and with such a small (and arguably, dying) scene, it's good to stick with the champs. So PRO-B10 it is. You can grab 6.60 PRO-B10 from (please let me know if this link dies, I will replace it!). Just like before, download it, unzip it, and put the folders in the correct areas. Disconnect your PSP and then run the 'Update' application (it has a big PRO logo on it to not confuse it with the official update).
The app is pretty simple. Woo, now you are running a CFW PSP. We'll get to exactly what that means later, but check in XMBSettingsSystem SettingsSystem Information and you should see a shiny new 6.60 PRO-B10 label in there. The next step, assuming you'd like your CFW to stay on when you turn off your PSP, you're going to want to permanently patch the CFW to internal memory with that CIPL Flasher file.
This will allow you to turn off your PSP totally and still have PRO installed. However, please read the note below. NOTE: BRICK WARNING: Currently CIPL Flashing (aka, permanent patching) only works with certain PSP models:. The 1000.
The 2000 (with the 'hackable' motherboard) It does not work with:. The 'unhackable' 2000.
The 3000. The GO. The new E1000 models from. If the CIPL Flasher gives the message 'CIPL Flashing not supported with this model of PSP' or something similar, all this means is that you will have to relaunch the CFW with the PRO-B10 Updater upon full reboot (so if you just keep your PSP on but suspended the CFW will stay). This is a minor inconvenience, but hopefully a fix will be available soon. FINAL REVIEW.
Updated to 6.60. Patched to CFW. CIPL Flashed to permanent install (if possible) And if you've done all that. Step 5: Congratumagations You are now a hacker.
Prepare for the party van on your doorstep. Nah, not really, I BET I GOT YOU THERE. But seriously, you now can do all these fun things. Run homebrew games and apps. Play backed up ISO/CSO psp games (put them in ms0:/ISO). Have access to the VSH menu (press select in the XMB).

Access the PRO Recovery menu (through the VSH, by pressing SELECT on the XMB). Use plugins, or PRX files Welp, that about wraps it up. Happy hacking, send any corrections/questions/comments to the comment section or the Upboat section on your top right. This post will eventually expire, and feedback will help any newbies, so don't hold back! ADDENDUM ABOUT THE PSN STORE The only 'unsafe' thing that visiting the store would do is that Sony might ask you to update your firmware, which is always something you can opt-out of (as it will clear the CFW from the system).
But as long as they don't release 6.61 or whatever, you can still access the store, buy games, whatever, perfectly fine. The store only checks the firmware number- and currently 6.60 is the highest. Oh, well, that means that permanent patching is not supported with that model of PSP:( I'm sorry, I should have done some more research on that before posting the guide. The 3004 is the newest model of PSP (other than the GO) and a lot of CFWs have trouble permapatching it. It's not all lost though. All this means is that if you ever fully power off your PSP, you'll have to run the CFW patcher again on reboot. None of your savegames or files will break or anything, you just won't be able to play your ISOs or homebrews until you re-patch.
At this time there is not a real alternative to this, sorry to say:( I'll put an addendum in the guide straightaway, I don't want anyone else to be confused by this, or do something that they didn't mean to. Again, my apologies.
