    Hey, it's Joel16 here
    so you've got a new PSP or you had one and you're sick of "buying umds". You want to run homebrews and backups, but you’re lost with all the terms "HEN", "M33", "Pro" "ME'… or you’re simply looking for an easy guide to get the best solution for your PSP? Well, you've come to the right place! I will only provide Firmwares of 6.20 And Later, Because the rest have been outdated.

    CFW Installation

    The First Ever and Most Gullible Portable system ever to be release by sony, This is one of its best, Due to its really cool "unlocking/unbricking feature" Using the Pandora and a Magic Memory Stick. Installing a Custom Firmware on your PSP 1000 has never been so easy. In this page I’m describing the easiest possible way for you to install the most reliable Custom Firmware on your PSP: Pro CFW.

    1. Download the necessary files

    PSP Official Firmware 6.60

    Pro CFW (latest version)

    2. Update your PSP to firmware 6.60

    Skip this step if you already have Firmware 6.60 installed on your PSP.

    In order to install Pro CFW on your PSP, you will need to first update your PSP to the 6.60 Sony firmware (which, at the time of this writing, is the latest firmware released by Sony), if that’s not already the case. There are versions of Pro CFW that will run on older firmwares, but updating to 6.60 will guarantee the best compatibility for your official games.

    To install the 6.60 Firmware, just unzip the archive on your PSP’s memory stick, in the “PSP” folder (you should end up with an “UPDATE” folder in the PSP folder, if you do things correctly), then run the update from your PSP menu.

    3. Install Pro Cfw

    The Pro CFW archive provides several subfolders in the “PSP/GAME” folder. Two of them are interesting for us: the FastRecovery and the PROUPDATE folders. Those two need to be extracted to the PSP/GAME folder on your memory stick.

    Assuming you extracted the files correctly, you will see a few new applications in your PSP’s Game menu. The one you will want to run in order to install Pro CFW is “Pro Update”. Just run it.

    That’s it. You can erase the “ProUpdate” folder from your PSP, but keep the “FastRecovery” one.

    Well This Was, Sony's Best Selling PSP, This one was Both hackable to the "fullest" and still had the great "sony" features like skype.
    Due to its great Unbrickable feature, I would once again advise sony's latest firmware 6.60. Installing a Custom Firmware on your PSP 2000 has never been so easy. In this page I’m describing the easiest possible way for you to install the most reliable Custom Firmware on your PSP: Pro CFW.

    good
    download 6.60 pro : http://code.google.com/p/procfw/downloads/detail?name=660PRO-B10.fix1.rar&can=2&q=

    now extract the file
    open psp/game
    and Drag the folder PRO UPDATE(Must) and FAST RECOVERY (optional) TO YOUR REMOVABLE DISK/PSP/Game, and it contains CIPL flahser, and since you are a beginner and you dont know if your psp is a 1000, 2000, 3000, DONOT PUT IT ON YOUR PSP, DELETE CIPL FLASHER

    Now remove usb
    GO to your psp and click proupdate

    Dude, why even bother with using PRO? 6.60 ME is much better and you won't have to deal with the patching crap.

    Plus its easy, update your psp to ofw 6.60
    then copy the files in 6.60 pro, load the game, which PRO UPDATER
    and done
    dont load CIPL Flasher if you dunno about it
