Q -Perm anent or tem porary hack,w hat's the di erence?

A -The m ain functionaldi erence is thatw ith the tem porary version,you need to run a 4-second or so le to re-hack the PSP after each tim e you shutitdow n.
Som e people m ay care,others m ay not.
Q -6.20 or 6.60,w hat do Ichoose?
A -The m ain di erence to be concerned w ith is the com patibility ofthe perm anentpatch.
6.20's perm anentpatch w illw ork on every PSP m odelthat6.20 can be installed on.
6.60's perm anentpatch only w orks on the 1000 m odels and earlier 2000 m odels.Ifyou have a 2000 and you're notsure ifit's an early or late m odel,you can
try the perm anentpatch,and ifittells you it's notsupported you can dow ngrade to 6.20 and use the 6.20 perm anentm ethod (or if6.20 is notsupported,
stick w ith the defaulttem porary version).

6.20 PRO (perm anent)installation.

6.60 PRO (tem porary or perm anent)installation

W arning:Spoilers inside!

Ifyou are notyeton 6.60...

1.D ow nload the 6.60 o cialrm w are for your PSP m odel(there's one for 1000/2000/3000 series,and one for the G o).You'llhave to google for
this.
2.Place the U PD ATE folder into /PSP/G AM E/ on your m em ory stick (or the G o's internalstorage).Ifthe eboot.pbp le is notin a folder nam ed
"U PD ATE",then re-nam e (or create)the folder.
3.Run the 6.60 update on your PSP and allow itto install.

N ow to installthe hack!
1.D ow nload 6.60 PRO (LatestVersion)
2.Copy the folders in there straightonto your PSP's m em ory stick (or G o's internalstorage)..Ifyou're asked to m erge the folders,say yes.
3.Run 6.60 PRO U pdater on your PSP,and press X to install.
4.Your PSP should restartinto hacked m ode.This w illlastuntilyour PSP is shutfully o (sleep m ode is okay).To hack itagain quickly,run the
Fast Recovery to getback into 6.60 PRO .
5.(O PTIO N AL)To testor installthe 6.60 perm anentpatch,run the CIPL Flasher on your PSP.Again,rem em ber thatthis only w orks on the PSP
1000 and earlier 2000 m odels.
W hen you're done,you can delete the update o ofyour m em ory stick,since the hack is stored on the PSP itselfand you only need to keep the fast
recovery to re-activate itw hen needed.

Supposedly allPSP G o system s as ofrightnow can be dow ngraded to 6.20 regardless ofw hatthey originally cam e w ith,atleastaccording to the person w ho
released the 6.38 dow ngrader.This doesn'tapply to the PSP 3000 series though,justthe PSP G o.

The 6.x hacks are better for PSP gam es,butthey lack som e PSX/PS1 and hom ebrew /plugin com patibility.Custom them es w on'tinstantly w ork,you'd need to see
ifanybody's ported the them e to 6.x.
And you're w elcom e.

W ith PO PS a gam e notw orking is nota sim ple as itnotstarting.A gam e could have a com patibility issue ata certain story point30 hours into an RPG ,so it's hard

Ifit's a 4g then Ithink you have to dow ngrade to 6.20 --could be w rong though.W ouldn'thurtto try it.Then upgrade to 6.35.
