Man, i just put Infinity and pro C on my psp go last night. Dug it out of a box in the closet and bought a new charger and JUST jailbroke the thing. Now i gotta do it again since Ark is still getting updates.

[@blainelocklair]

I guess, depending on what you want to do with your PSP, you're perfectly fine with PRO-C. This just provides another option for CFW and doesn't need a PC to do it. It's amazing that the PSP is still getting so many great mods, even in 2024.

[@ASimpleBall]

Wait so we still can mod it again if I has infinity?

[@bryantgomez6643]

I mod PSP’s and sell them. I’ve noticed Ark 4 seems to load way faster compared to infinity/ pro C. Definitely worth it

The cipl in the ark installer makes it a CFW that is permanently activated and no need to reactivate a CFW. cipl is basically the system kernels I believe.
