a brand new PSP 3001 as my main gift. I couldnt be more stoked, and as a super geek and techie,
the first thing I did was figure out how to jailbreak it. I was floored to see that it
was a very easy process nowadays. I didnt need to use random game X to force
downgrade the firmware or anything, didnt need a Pandora Battery.
For this process, you literally just need a memory stick and a couple files.
Lets
jump in. [INTRO] For this jailbreak, you will need the following
things: A PSP - quite literally any PSP will work
(as far as I know), but this will only work as a permanent jailbreak on the PSP 1000 and
2000 series. If you have a 3000 series PSP. Like I do, youll have to re-run this app
every time you fully shut down your PSP.
Ive had mine going for 2 weeks now and never had
to re-run it, even after taking out my memory card while it was in sleep mode, but its
something to keep in mind. Youll need a memory card. The PSP takes
a Memory Stick Duo card, but I actually found a nice set of a 32GB MicroSD card, a MicroSD
to Memory Stick Duo adapter and a USB card reader for like $12 and it works great in
the PSP. This is a much better option than trying to buy a real Memory Stick Duo of any
big size, so Ill post a link to my memory card in the description below.
If you dont have a card reader to access
your memory stick, youll need a mini USB. Cable to connect your PSP to your computer,
as well. Lastly, youll need the Pro-B Custom Firmware
files. Links to these will be in the description below.
Ready? Lets begin. First, if you havent already, insert your
memory stick into your PSP and format it for the PSP. It should pop up automatically asking
you to format it. If it doesnt, in your PSP menu, slide over to Settings -> System
Settings -> and then choose Format Memory Stick and complete the process.
Then go back to System Settings and go to System Information and take a look at what
your System Software version is.
If its on 6.60, Then youre good
to go. Skip forward, I will include a video annotation to the correct timecode.
If its on 6.61, Then youll have to run a downgrader app on your PSP. Ill put a
link to it in the description below. If its on a System Software version lower
than 6.60, Then youll need to manually update it.
To do so, either plug your memory
stick into a memory card reader on your computer, or connect your PSP to your computer via a
mini USB cable. Access your PSPs memory stick from your
file browser, navigate to the PSP -> GAME. Folder. Inside the GAME folder, create a new
folder named UPDATE in all capital letters.
So the folder structure should be PSP -> GAME
-> UPDATE. Next, download the official firmware version
6.60 For your specific PSP model. Links to this will be in the description below. If
you dont know which PSP model you have, check the serial number sticker on the bottom
of your PSP and it will say at the end.
For example mine ends with -PSP-3001 so
mine is a 3000 series. Once youve downloaded the EBOOT.PBP
file for your model, copy that file to that UPDATE folder we created.
Once thats finished, unplug your PSP from your computer. On your PSP, navigate to the
Game menu, go to Memory Stick, and press X. On PSP Update ver 6.60 And let it install.
Now you can proceed to installing the Pro
CFW onto your PSP. For this tutorial, we will be using the 6.60
PRO-C Fix3 CFW. There are other versions out there, but there tends to be compatibility
issues with PSN games with those versions, so this is the version I recommend using.
Links to it will be in the video description. This will download a ZIP file archive of the
Pro CFW.
Use an un-zipping program such as WinZip, WinRAR, or 7-Zip to extract the files
from this ZIP file. There should be 3 folders here - FastRecovery, PROUPDATE,
and CIPL_Flasher. The PROUPDATE app is used to install
or uninstall the Pro custom firmware. The FastRecovery app is used to re-activate
the CFW after shutting down the console.
The CIPL_Flasher app is needed to permanently
install the Pro CFW on 1000 series or compatible 2000 series PSPs. This will NOT work on 3000
series and some 2000 series PSPs. Plug your PSP or memory stick back into your
computer if you havent already. Copy these folders to your PSP \ GAME folder.
Once the file transfer is finished, unplug the PSP or Memory Stick and go back into your
PSP menus.
Use your PSP menus to navigate to GAME and
then use the PRO UPDATE app to install the Pro custom firmware. A black and white text menu should pop up,
asking you to press X to install and launch the CFW. Press X to install it. Your PSP will
reboot, and thats well it! Once its rebooted, you can make sure it
worked by going back to your System Settings and click System Information, and it should
now say 6.60 PRO-C for System Software.
Now, this is a soft mod, which means its
not permanent and wont damage your system. So every time you completely shut down your
PSP - by either holding the power switch for 10 seconds or the battery completely dying
- you will have to run the FastRecovery app from that menu to re-activate the CFW.
If you have a supported 1000 or 2000 series PSP, its possible to make this CFW installation
permanent. You can do this by running the CIPL_Flasher. If your PSP model isnt supported,
it will just tell you so and wont install a permanent CFW or brick your PSP.
Once all this is done, playing downloaded
ISO games is very easy. Simply plug your PSP. Or memory stick into your computer and make
a new folder on the root drive of your memory stick named ISO in all caps. Copy your ISO
or CSO files to that folder, and youre good to go! Note: Do NOT put ISOs in the PSP/GAME folder
of your PSP, as they will just show up as Corrupted Data instead of a playable
game.
And thats it! Youve successfully soft-modded
your PSP to play downloaded ISO games, homebrew custom Eboot games, use custom themes, etc.
This WILL still work with official PSP games via both physical UMD disks and PSN downloads,
so you now have the ultimate PSP! Thanks so much for watching my tutorial on
