[OLD] How to Mod Your PSP on Firmware 6.61 or Lower! - Infinity Permanent CFW

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of modding your PSP on firmware 6.61 or lower using Infinity Hybrid CFW. This method enables a permanent custom firmware (CFW) installation, allowing you to run homebrew applications and games without needing to reload the CFW each time you start your device. Note that this tutorial is not suitable for the PSP-E1000 model.

Step 1: Check Your PSP Model

• Confirm that your PSP model is either a 1000, 2000, 3000, or Go.
• If you have a PSP-E1000, do not proceed with this tutorial as it is not compatible with the Infinity CFW.

Step 2: Update to Firmware 6.61

• Ensure your PSP is updated to firmware 6.61. This is essential for the modding process.
• If you are not on firmware 6.61, you can download the official update from the PlayStation website and install it via the PSP’s system settings.

Step 3: Download Required Files

• Since the original Infinity firmware pack download link has been removed, please follow the updated tutorial for Infinity 2.0 at this link: Infinity 2.0 Tutorial.
• Ensure you have a micro SD to Memory Stick Duo adapter and a mini USB cable for transferring files.

Step 4: Install Infinity CFW

• Follow the instructions in the Infinity 2.0 tutorial to install the custom firmware.
• Choose between PRO or LME CFW during the installation:
  • If you have a PSP 1000, use PRO CFW as LME does not remain permanent on this model.
  • For other models, you can choose either PRO or LME based on your preference.

Step 5: Flash the CFW

• Once you have chosen your CFW, follow the on-screen prompts to flash the firmware to your device.
• Ensure your battery is charged to avoid interruptions during the flashing process.

Step 6: Verify CFW Installation

• After installation, reboot your PSP.
• Navigate to the system settings to confirm that the CFW is successfully installed and the firmware is showing as modified.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Modded PSP

• You can now run homebrew applications and games on your PSP.
• Explore available homebrew titles and utilities to enhance your gaming experience.
