Hi Lusid! Amazing work let me say. You will be remembered in many years. One question? I am in a Hotel with no computer or adapter next to me, can I download isos from your website and play in my psp 1000? Thanks in advance!

[@Sssjose408]

Thanks for the instructional video we all bin waiting for this type of update 🌄🙌💯 do you know if there is a WiFi compatibility update on the WPA to a WPA2 or a adapter for you router that can transmit a WPA signal without downgrade the hole system?

Is this the same method to use on psp go system? I'm trying to find a video detailing how i can mod my psp go

Damn, Love your collection. Btw I was waiting for you to make a video about PSP ! As I have been following up your content, I have to ask this. Recently, The PSP PSN hasn't been connecting. I tried contacting Playstation with no avail. Account management isn't working either. Can you look into this issue?

[@lusid1games]

I heard there was an outage. I'll see if PSP can still connect.

[@lusid1games]

@@varundarbhamalla3325 It does appear to be down. Is it permanently down? Time will tell but I'm not optimistic.

[@varundarbhamalla3325]

My PSP connects to my wifi, I added funds to my wallet to buy parasite eve 2, but when I go into the App Store now that everything is set, the console freezes and then restarts, please help

[@JTim-xe1ti]

Do you have to delete everything of your SD Card like remove all your home brew apps and stuff like that and if not will they all work properly? I’m down to 30 gigs left of a 128g sd and I know having to transfer that all back over will take a coupple hours I love your tutorials plz don’t stop I just got a psp last month I’m just now learning

im still using cfw 6.60 pro b-10... is it ok to install ark 4 without going to pro c?

I got an old PSP Firmware 5.50 Prome-4, Does this method works to upgrade it to ARK-4? I just revived this from the dead

[@MicaelAzevedo]

You need to update the device to last firmware and you can do it.

[@gronygroovy]

Hi there! Will this work for psp go too please? Thank you!

[@lusid1games]

@@gronygroovy yes. Same process on the psp go. Just pick the psp-go download of the 6.61 firmware. None of the console require infinity anymore.

[@saoloannathan9011]

what can u do with the new ARK4?

[@lusid1games]

@@saoloannathan9011 Ark4 has a lot of features and fixes. You can change the UMD region, it fixes the save error on a lot of old games, it has a much improved iso driver, built in file manager, ftp server, resistance to soft bricks, a new plugin manager right in the xmb, and on and on.

[@enriquepaniagua1133]

Can I do this without a battery?

[@lusid1games]

@@enriquepaniagua1133 if you’re already on 6.61 you can convert to ark, but you can’t run the 6.61 installer so this method may not work for you without a battery.

I’m not the smartest about modding or anything so does this give u free downloaded games or?

[@lusid1games]

@@Nba_Jway it doesn’t inherently come with games. It just installs the custom firmware.

@@lusid1games what does the custom firmware do?

[@lusid1games]

@@Nba_Jway primarily it lets you run homebrew, such as emulators, and run backups/ISOs. It also has a lot of feature enhancements over the factory firmware and makes the system easier to repair if something goes wrong with the firmware.

@Nba_Jway if you want to revert to an untouched OFW 6.61, re-run chronoswitch to reinstall 6.61 OFW, then delete all the ark items from your memory stick.
