[@MarkyMcfly88]

BRO I had completly messed up my psp 3000with over 101 games thanks to you i can now mod and fix others psp's as well 10,00000 likes!!!!

[@MCDNetwork]

Glad to hear that you were able to fix your psp and learn a new skill :}

[@azurekite3870]

how did it get messed up? as when you tried to mod it?

[@ibuy2manymovies]

Was watching your old video and was bummed it was outdated. THEN I SAW YOU POSTED THIS BANGER A WEEK AGO. Perfect timing thank you so much!!

[@adrielleedwards2444]

so this video was soooo soooo helpfull, i have ark now on here... but how the heck do i find games? everyone says make an iso folder and i did that... do i make its own folder without putting it in anything? or am i just not looking for the games in the right place?

[@MCDNetwork]

We have a video going over how to install game backups on your modded system here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTMemSHYpuins0

[@adrielleedwards2444]

@@MCDNetwork thanks so much i will go watch it!! i really have no clue how to do any of this. The way you broke this down in this video helped me TONS already!

[@scriptyt8219]

everythings fine but i cant find custom launcher and thats why i cant use ctf themes what to do now pls help me someone this is very frustrating and also my select start home button is not working for a long time so i cant even use vsh menu what will be best for m

[@hiilikeskylanders5083]

how do install redump files on there cu i tried it with an nfs but it doesnt show up on my psp

[@reddsy1275]

so there was no real reason to get a microsd card adapter for this video lol, but i love that you torched the official one it definitely deserves it

[@MCDNetwork]

You can load more backups using the adapter and a larger micro sd card verses using the 2-4gb official ones 😁

[@tryhardtrav]

Hey man, great vid. But on my 3000 model, pressing select does not do anything, no VSH menu pops up, also, under settings, mine just says System update not ARK-4 Updater like yours and in the Extras tab, I dont have all the options like you, no Plugins Manger, no Custom Firmware settings ..but my system info reads ARK 6.61 ARK-4 cIPL .. any tips?

[@MCDNetwork]

Did you buy this pre modded or did you mod it yourself?

[@tryhardtrav]

@@MCDNetwork Followed your Vid and modded it myself.. but IDK why

[@MCDNetwork]

You could make a post on our Discord Server's help section so we can talk a little more indepth about what could be causing this

[@z9kaneki82]

hey, im doing ark 4 tutorials and my psp when pressing the ark loader, only goes down to “psp 6.60+” then bricks itself, any help?

[@mateuszbuturla3699]

after instaling the home button doesnt work , when I want to exit a game , it just dimms the screen , any idea ?

[@lukesummers6000]

are you able to run modern wifi after jailbreaking and updating the psp to 6.61?

[@MCDNetwork]

The wifi bandwidth restrictions are hardware based, not software

[@jonathanflores5269]

do you need internet on the psp to make this work or only on the computer? and does it matter if have a larder card like a 64gb instead of a 32gb? and lastly if you do need internet how do I connect the psp to my wifi if it doesn't let me cause it doest support it?(I have Verizon)

[@MCDNetwork]

Hi, you don't need a network connection on the PSP for this to work. You can use a larger card, up to 128gb but with higher capacities it can slow down the xmb. You won't be able to connect a PSP to a 5ghz network as the system only supports a 2.4ghz connection.

[@TheSilverhollow]

Wait, if the you from 4 months into the future went back in time and showed the updated methods to do this, and I just discovered this video 5 months later, does that mean I'm current or do I need to wait for a future future you to appear and give even more updated information??

[@MCDNetwork]

For the time being your current. However, given the fabric of space and time, who's to say when the future future doc will show up...

[@TheSilverhollow]

[@guamil4601]

I already have the original software 6.61. Do I still have to install 6.61 again or can I start installing ark4 straight away?

[@MCDNetwork]

You can start installing ark 4

[@dfttones]

@@MCDNetwork it didnt work for me, after i ran ark loader i checked my system information its still 6.61 instead of “ARK 4.xx.xx Live” like it should be

I have a Japanese PSP I need to mod. Thanks for the tutorial!

Your welcome 😁

[@danielflynn7271]

Do I have to download and install ark-4 custom firmware the sd card on sd card adapter way on psp

[@MCDNetwork]

An SD card adapter isn't required, but is highly recommended so you have space for backups.

[@Narum777]

Love the vid, thanks man!

[@MCDNetwork]

Glad it could help

[@yandelbadillo5579]

I have tried to change from ark 4 infinity to ark 4 cipl but when I try to use cipl flasher it say it does not support my psp model I have a psp 3000 model 09g do you know how I can fix it ?

[@MCDNetwork]

Check your firmware version and make sure your on 6.61

[@Acid_Snake]

You can't use cIPL on top of Infinity as it causes issues. Uninstall infinity first by reverting back to OFW 6.61 using Chronoswitch.

[@wilsoncollado7125]

after downloading everything can i delete the ark loader and cipl app ?

[@Popseoh]

Bro I did the flash and it keeps deleting the ark live and just goes back to normal firmware. Help.

[@robcogaming5872]

i've had the same issue, followed the steps switched SD cards. i'm just as confused.

[@Popseoh]

@ Yeah I just followed another tutorial and downloaded infinity and downloaded some games, but even then everytime I flash it it just doesnt work. So I guess Ill just deal with having to run the mod manually everytime I turn on the psp. Its fine tho, Its on sleep mode most of the time anyways so its fine. Im happy that I got it work in the first place and I can play all the games I want.

[@Gillury353]

How to i install the games through my computer?

[@LaCharm]

I usually don't comment but this helped a lot,only one question,i did the process with an old sd card of mine,i'm waiting a new one to arrive,my psp is fully moded with clpl do i need them again in the new sd card to run whatever i want in my psp?Thank you!

[@MCDNetwork]

Thanks for the comment! You will need the cipl files on the new SD card for it to work properly 😁

[@alixeaston9240]

starting the custom firmware disables all control on my psp 2000

[@SK4MA]

Once installed ARK 4 and clPL can I delete the folder or shall I keep it in the psp memory?

[@MCDNetwork]

You'll need to keep the save file if you installed ark 4 as cIPL, but you can delete the two apps

[@SK4MA]

@ Thank you, delete directly from the psp game list or from my computer in the sd?

[@MCDNetwork]

@SK4MA either should be fine

[@jazzlover8000]

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

[@MCDNetwork]

It could be, I haven't heard of this error before

[@jazzlover8000]

@@MCDNetwork thank u, just ordered battery

[@ryumii1701]

If i modded my psp Can i delete ark loader and ark full installer and ark clip flasher

[@MCDNetwork]

If you installed it via cipl then yes. Just don't delete the ark save file

[@ryumii1701]

@ so the apps in the mem stick can be deleted but not the files itself in the root folders?

[@CaseyChing]

im not able to find a iso game and when i add a game i think is an iso it doesnt show up in the memoryt card on the psp

[@MCDNetwork]

Games in the iso format need to be in a folder called "ISO" on the root of the SD card

[@CaseyChing]

@@MCDNetwork oh ok so change the name of the game file to iso as well then drop it into the iso file i already had on the psp ?

[@MCDNetwork]

@CaseyChing no just put the game.iso file in the folder titled "iso" on the root of your SD card

[@psyopsmatter6480]

@@MCDNetwork cso files go there 2

[@azurekite3870]

that the psp also has a iso on the root of the psp and just put the games in there. hope you get the games working.

[@T_plays_gamez]

is it required to use the psp usb connection adapter? because I don't have one.

[@MCDNetwork]

No it's not required. You can remove the SD card to load files that way instead. However using a USB cable is far more convenient 🙂

Hello budy, how are you! I'm new to your channel, I want your help! I bought a PSP these days, model 2010, it is on the old 3.60 M33 update, every time I try to update its software it gives me an error (game cannot start Dadadada) What does this mean? help me please

[@MCDNetwork]

The m33 is custom firmware, you'd have to revert to stock firmware using Chronoswitch. Then you can update it to 6.61 normally from there

Seen other guides using infinity, is there an advantage to ark4?

ARK -4 is the Newest method for modding a PSP, and will be the only method supported going forward as infinity has been retired

[@davidjduncan1974]

Hi there, i am currently on the 5.0 m33 cfw can i use this to go back to 6.61 without bricking the psp ??

[@MCDNetwork]

You'll need to use an app called Chronoswitch to install the official 6.61 firmware before installing ark custom firmware.

[@Acid_Snake]

Even if you brick your PSP, you can use ARK itself to unbrick it.

[@ibuy2manymovies]

Can I use my memory stick in another psp system and it'll automatically be modded? Or do I have to do this process on every system?

[@MCDNetwork]

Process will need to be done for each system.

[@ibuy2manymovies]

@MCDNetwork Shucks. Oh well. Will my sd card loaded with games have to be formatted on the new system?

@ibuy2manymovies it shouldn't need to be, just install the cfw to your system and you should be go to go

do you have to have the micro sd card adapter for this to work or can i still use my regular 2gb stick

[@MCDNetwork]

You could use the 2gb one but most game isos are around 1gb in size

[@azurekite3870]

yes,you do need the adptor if want to play with 128gb sd and when pop it in and not to press on sd card it's self or it will go in toofar and break the adaptor.

no clue what I did wrong, followed all the steps but I somehow cant open up the vsh menu..? there also doesnt seem to be an extras menu

[@BrosPff10]

Can I remove Ark_Loader and Ark_ciPL after doing this entire process? I'm afraid someone will accidentally touch them... Good video by the way :D

[@MCDNetwork]

Yes you should be able to remove it using Chronoswitch www.pspunk.com/chronoswitch/

[@Acid_Snake]

​@@MCDNetwork he meant not to remove the CFW, but to remove the loader and installer files, which are totally safe to do.

[@Acid_Snake]

Yes you can delete them with no issues. Deleting the ARK_01234 savedata is a bit different as some parts of the CFW are installed there. You can use the Full Installer to make sure that even if the savedata folder gets deleted you still have most of the CFW functioning.
