PSP Custom Firmware - bibanon/android-development-codex GitHub Wiki

While homebrew can be signed to work on any PSP, most users will want to install a custom firmware to gain some additional features:

  • ISO/CSO Game Playback/Dump - UMDs are notoriously unreliable, so move them to digital format before your game collection is gone for good.
  • Runs Legacy Homebrew - Custom firmware allows older, unsigned PSP homebrew to run. Otherwise, the PSP will claim that the homebrew is "corrupted".
  • Plugin Mode - Extend the abilities of your PSP with PRX Plugins.
  • PSone Emulator Unlock - Now you can use Sony's secret PSone emulator. Though it's never been perfect.
  • And much, much more...
This guide only works for OFW 6.60 and below. Avoid OFW 6.61, if it even exists. Since Sony considers the PSP dead and have not updated past 6.60 in 3 years, this guide will probably work for all known PSP firmwares and motherboard versions.

6.60

The last generation of a long history of PSP Custom Firmware. This one picks up where GEN left off with an update to the last Official Firmware 6.60 and an signed installer that works on any PSP model or firmware.

  • PSP/6.60 PRO - The PRO series of custom firmwares are the only open-source CFWs available, and are as such the best supported.
  • PSP/6.60 ME - A closed source CFW for HEN-based PSPs. Offers a few different and interesting features.

Official Firmware

Of course, we will need to delve into Sony's good ol' official firmware. Listed here are the most important ones; the rest can be found in the last link.
