brooooooo this is by far the easiest tutorial out there , I don’t anything about modding but you made it so easy to follow ! really clear instructions, thank you !
when i was 12 i paid a gameshop to jailbreak and pirate games for me and i only could afford to get 5 games. Thanks to this tutorial I was able to do it myself, thank you very much! Great tutorial by the way :)
This will 100% work if you follow the steps above. I found that you can just plug your PSP memory card into your pc instead of plugging the PSP System into the pc if you don't have a cable. If you don't update your PSP to the 6.60 or 6.61 (I did 6.61) the steps that follow will not work. Update the PSP first via the "memory card" folder under games, not the (settings, system update, update via storage)
Thank you brother, your video helped me a lot, I was already without hope, I tried countless attempts but yours was the one that worked best, great tutorial.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can finally play the games I got from one of my friends, now if you'll excuse me, *picks up a sword and shield* I'm off to hunt monsters in Monster Hunter
Great video! I'm new to PSP modding and could use some guidance. Could you explain the differences between Ark and Infinity? If I understand correctly, Ark allows me to soft boot into a firmware, letting me back up games and reset the device back to stock easily. Is that right? Also, if I install Infinity, is it reversible? If I decide to sell my PSP, can I restore it to stock without much hassle, or is it a lengthy process? Thank you for creating this tutorial; it was incredibly helpful!
@@ArchadesGames you’re a legend, thank you for replying. I don’t suppose you could link a recommended guide to remove infinity by chance do you? I’d like to look at the process.
Man, my PSP GO was connecting to my laptop just fine. All of a sudden, my laptop says that the device can’t be recognized. Now I cannot mod it. I have spent the last three hours researching online how to fix it, to no avail. I’m so bummed out. 😞
My 2nd time modding a PSP, I've tried running ARK 4, however in the wall of texts, it said it could not autodetect the device, I don't have a battery connected yet, and the PSP is running off the charging cable. Is this error because of the fact I'm missing a battery? Great vid
@@crowels12 I'm pretty sure there's a new method the infinity is no longer needed. the thing with these guides is that they get outdated very quickly as new methods are added, best thing is to read the Ark4 wiki page
where to find a 6.61 update link? the psppunk link doesn't work for 6.61, it's on the archive website and that website got taken down or is offline temporarily bc it seems they have had a recent ddos attack (I checked the twitter), where is a reputable link?
You can update it to 6.61 thru the psp via wifi just make sure you remove your wifi password and turn off 5ghz wifi otherwise the psp will never connect. That was how I updated my psp
@@Oldgrails I actually got it resolved, I saw something about that but I ended up using a reputable link for the 6.61 update I found through reddit. My psp is updated now, but ty for the info anyway
can someone help my infinity is version 1.0 and will not let me get 2.0 it keeps saying i need to unistall with chrono 7 but i keep trying its not working i have to be doing something wrong unless its my sd card idk
I bought a psp with CFW installed, but it is a version that is around 5.8. Do you know if I should uninstall that before upgrading to the OFW you indicated in this video?
@@ArchadesGames ok thank you I’m going to sacrifice my PSP & hopefully it doesn’t Brick some people have been having issues and having they console bricked
I have problem after i launch the ark loader program it loads the ark stuff but when im back to the psp's XMB i can't control anything dpad does not work same with the other controls aside from brightness and volume buttons need help how to solve this issue.
Heyy! i see you still reply to comments even though this video is 5 months old, lol. i was just wondering if this works on a psp 3000? if not, is there any video you or any other person has that you can send me to get custom firmware on a 3000? thanks !
Screen on my PSP goes black after trying to open Infinity. And PSP turns off himself so I need to turn it on again. What could be the fix here. I am on 6.61 fw psp 3003.
Try cycling power button while holding home button for a few seconds. If you’re having trouble with it try that out. Don’t let go of home until you see all your drop down menus.
@@mxmksn5434 sorry for a bit late reply. what helped is installing Infinity the first ( butdon't open it yet), and then ark4 and to the steps installing steps needed for ark4 (from 6:19) and then open infinity and do the rest (from 8:26). I hope that helps.
Hi! Is there another way to bypass the "The battery level is low" for the 6.61 update? I tried to hold Left+Triangle and nothing has happened.. My PSP doesn't have a battery too so it only relies on its AC adaptor :'))

Yes, you just convert the PS1 games into a PSP eboot
Thanks for doing this. Worked seamlessly.

what the difference between pro c infinity (1) and Ark4 with infinity 2?
I already love you if you've showed the best fighting game on the console
Little question, what are the differences between Infinity 2 and cIPL , and it's there one that's better than the other ? Thank you
Can I follow all this steps whit a 2gb memory stick and then change to a new one ? Or I need to mod my psp with the same memory stick ?
You can change them out, just copy the contents over from old to new.
@ArchadesGames Thx !

Thank you for creating this tutorial; it was incredibly helpful!
Yes, you can always choose to just run ark on each boot instead of doing infinity. It is easy to remove infinity with the same installer.
@@ArchadesGames you’re a legend, thank you for replying. I don’t suppose you could link a recommended guide to remove infinity by chance do you? I’d like to look at the process.
Hey.
Whats the reason to have Infinity and ark4?! Why Not the ark flasher for permanent flash?
Not really a reason to have both it’s just preference I chose ark I don’t have the infinity CFW

You mean keep the updater or keep it up to date?
Keep it up to date, 9:42 for reference point in video@@ArchadesGames
It would just work as it does now
Will this work if you do it on a Mac?
Took only a few minutes. Thank you! Easiest tutorial for this.

What's the difference of Ark 4 CFW and Pro C custom firmware?
The difference on what I saw and tried ark4 gives u a custom launcher easy plugins install and cfw settings and u can update it from the psp itself
when I go to update it via storage media, it keeps saying No applicable update data was found. Can someone please explain why its doing this??
You don't update via storage media device. There will be an icon to update on the main screen. Possibly in the "memory card" area.
If I don't do the permanent hack via infinity will I still be able to recover saved data from story modes?
Good tutorial install is working... very well thank help!
can someone help my infinity is version 1.0 and will not let me get 2.0 it keeps saying i need to unistall with chrono 7 but i keep trying its not working i have to be doing something wrong unless its my sd card idk

After you convert them to PSP eboots
