Nice to still see people working on PSP
Thank you sir for showing that you do not need a computer to install a CFW. Wonderful!! Also, it's great to see someone around my age that's still into mod gaming. I thought I was along. Keep up the great work.
love your work man, as a new owner of a psp your videos has really been helpfull, i always wanted a psp as a child and now as a grown up i finally been able to buy a psp 2000 and enjoy some nice hours of play.
Keep up the PSP videos, man. I still love the device and use it daily. Lots of tutorials online are out of date (Infinity used to be acary to install), and I'm tired of answering the same questions.
I actually used this video to help someone out, and I love the fact that I didn't have to get up and move anywhere to do it.
This was super helpful for me. I took out my old PSP 3000 with 6.20 PRO B9 and wanted to find a very up to date video with how to get rolling on the more recent CFW. I was able to install 6.61 OFW (did not need to use Chronoswitch Downgrader), then follow your guide to get ARK-4 CFW and Infinity 2.0.5 installed. One small difference for me versus your video was after I installed ARK and Infinity, I was only able to open Infinity using OFW. It would not run when I had ARK CFW loaded (in your video you were able to open Infinity with ARK CFW running). Easy fix though - I ran Infinity in OFW intead, set ARK to boot by default, rebooted and then everything works great. It's running ARK Infinity even after cold boot.
I've seen it doing that recently. Not sure why but running it in OFW is the easy workaround.
Thank's a lot for this sir, keep going and love from Indonesia btw
@@fieratitik thank you!
using your web portal really takes me back to the days when i used the gdteam portal (remember that?)
good times
this was so usefull I got a psp go and the sd card adapter stopped working and couldnt load the fastrecovery as it was installed on the memory card. With this I was able to redownload the fastrecovery and be able to play the games downloaded on the internal storage. Many thanks!
Hey man you should start posting again, just got a psp and you are very helpful!
Mike’s music actually has a Wi-Fi network compatible with PSP’s. I wasn’t able to actually get a website on the web browser working but I was able to get to the part where I could search it up.
Love your videos man! Quick question though, recently updated psp to 6.61, followed all your steps but after running ark installer, i do not get a ark loader within my memory stick, just infinity by itself? its a japanese psp 3000 and any help would be great!
Same idk if he'll see this but that's where it messes up and infinity gave me a scare and made me think I bricked the console 😭
Oh yes, this! Same issue and also need some guidance.
@@renedurant9191just letting y'all know I had the same problem but whatever the problem was that caused this to happen he fixed. You'll get the loader now you just have to try again. You can find my comment where he addresses the issue. Good luck y'all and if you know what you can actually do with this over wifi I'd love the information lol
Keep up the good work mate, one day I'll come back to this to guide myself.
you saved me from buying a data cable :) awesome work man :)
Thanks ! Keep making videos for psp ! Subbed !
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for the magnificent work by bringing all this together in a unique web portal . You’re the man 2:52
Thanks! glad its getting some use and helping the community.
Great video! Thanks for the site as well it's super useful!
Hello sir could you please post some videos about installing games and setting up ctf, ptf themes for psp2000 without computer
What advantage does ARK give over other older CFW. I can still play all the games I want so I'm not understanding the advantage here.
Awesome guide, Lusid! Thanks! 🙌
Thanks a lot for this video....Appreciate your work
I've found my way to your channel, with so much of the psp scene just right on the Vita psp stuff like this seems to be a dying art, I had no idea about ark4, and it just gets easier by the year, thank you.
what main benefits does ark have over pro/lme?
This worked like a charm! Thank you!
Thanks for this👍 Im waiting on, some new psp videos from you😊
Hey man love your video on this but I cannot get to your website because SSL communication cannot be performed anyway on how to fix this?
Hi I really love your video especially with the fact that I can install custom firmware via Wi-Fi, please make a video on how to update from M33 to Ark, I've been struggling to install ARK 4 on my CFW 6.61 M33
I’m having an issue not getting the arc launcher to appear. Any fixes?
Can you make a video of how to play wireless online for PSP, please?
Like Sonic Rivals 2 or any game with Multiplayer
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give that one some thought.
@@lusid1games
Thanks
worked perfectly, thank you!
what does it do?
How do I get to auto boot when I push select it does nothing but I did everything I got the infinity and everything else apk
You sure made that easy!! Thank you
Great video! I have a question regarding switching X and O functions, I had used Pro-C which simply click a setting in the recovery menu and reset vsh, then X becomes confirmation for JP version psp. But for ARK-4, which is new to me, I found the switch setting in custom launcher --> setting -->swap x and o buttons, either enabled or disabled, I can't get X as confirmation, did I make a mistake somewhere? please advise, appreciate it.
What are the benefits of ARK CFW and do I need to upgrade to it?
I have a perfectly working (6.60 pro-c) cfw on my PSP 3000 and a perfectly working HENkaku 3.60 -11 cfw that spoofed to version 3.73 with reF00D plugin on my PS Vita
I try first method since my psp is 3000 but after using infinity my psp won't turn on screen any help?
Have fun with that, it’s called a bricked psp
@@we.value505 yeah I have a lot of fun with it being brick..the price is half of my salary 😂😂
@mi_rai I doubt it's bricked just hold in the home button when you turn it on
Thanks man, you saved my life
Hi man, i followed your first steps and downloaded the 2 files. Then I installed them both and when i have to do the next step on minute 6:21 . My ARK file dissapeared... even if im trying to download it again. I dont know what to do now😢
i have the same problem on my psp go did you fixed it any tips :(
Did you found any solution ?
@@berlinerschnauze7123he fixed it go try again. I had the same problem and it works now.
@@berlinerschnauze7123any solution same situation
Thank god for smart ppl lol I’m brand new to the modded side this year
How do you do a hard reset it not letting me can you help me
How to fix SSL communication cannot be performed A handshake error has occurred in SSL..Pls help me
any tutorial for psp street ?
psp street doesnt have wifi connection
Good point. I should do an offline install method video.
It doesn't work for me, I tried different variants and it says this:psp the game could not be started (80010016). I solved it by applying the older method (6.61 LME-2.3 CFW) and everything is working.
Hey man i Wanted to Thank you first for this tutorial It helped me so much and it saved me 50$ Thank you so much And 1 question will you happen to know how to get Free storage on an sd card dirrectly from the psp? 🎉🎉❤❤❤😊
If you mean see how much free space is on the card, go to game, then scroll down to memory stick, and it will show the free space right on the xmb. then press triangle, and select "information" and it will show total capacity and free space.
Best option for wifi is use phone as a router and disable protection (at home)
would love to see more videos
would you happen to know anything regarding psp troubleshooting i have a psp 1000 phat unknown firmware will flash green light when slid up will not boot or light up green longer than a half to 1/4 second so far i am getting continuity to the battery and will charge literally wont boot and CFW recovery boot options do not work no sound pretty sure LCD is good done the whole memory card out UMD unplugged ect im at a total loss wondering if i can flash the nand or somehow divert the IPL to pull from the memory card >.>?
You can try to re-flash it, but you will need something to boot it into factory service mode. Either a Pandora battery, or a baryon sweeper battery emulator.
@@lusid1games DAMN IT I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY THAT!!!
lol thank you so much for the super fast reply I'll have to knock one up
hey, I have cfw 6.61 pro-c, can I use this method still? I heard that you can change the region with ark, and Im trying to play japenese video UMDs on a american psp. I know games arent region locked but umd videos/movies are.
Edit: got it to work. There's one of the files I've got following your tutorial that I didn't see you launch, I had to launch that one. My system software now shows "ARK 4.20.66 infinity∞". But when I press "select" the menu is kind of a mix of what I had under pro-c and now ark. From top to bottom it says "vhs menu, ark 4.20.66 r7, custom launcher, recovery menu, advanced vhs menu, shutdown device, suspend device, reset device, reset vhs, exit". Both "recovery menu" and advanced menu" leads to the ark one. One difference is that both take a couple seconds to load, and needs a restart upon exited, whereas it wasn't needed with pro-c.I assume that the "reset device" and "reset vhs" (that I had before installing ark) respectively means "hard reset" and "soft reset".
Anyways, can't seem to see any differences for now, I'll need to get a japanese umd to test it out. Altho cfw 6.61 pro-c did have a region "changer", but I've heard it doesn't work for umd videos, and I tried and set it to "japan" then loaded an american umd video no problem..
Edit on that: with ark firmware I changed the UMD region to japan and then tried to load a usa physical umd video and it would not load, which leads me to believe it would load japanese ones. (edit2: got a japanese umd video and it did work yay)
Oh also, awesome that you did this. I reminds me of when I had to go the long method to jailbreak my ipod touch back in the day, and then years after there was a way to do it directly into the safari browser on the ipod, I was amazed. So that kinda does the same thing for putting a cfw on your psp, as in no need to connect it to a pc, easy to use website, no need to put commands in, etc. Great work!
I try do this and why my pspgo not turn on please help me😭
I felt that when he said it gone be hard to connect your psp to the internet
is there a way to install ROMS like god of war without a pc just psp?
Did you find out? He seems to have a few in his website
@@MicaelAzevedo one year update just sold my PSP :(
is there any way i can mod,jailbreak my psp 1000 without internet. it gives an error when trying to scan for a connection. and trying it in manually doesn’t work either.
Tried both of the 2 methods shown for my PSP 2000 not sure what's wrong. (I use chronoswitch to go back to OFW) Im always getting stuck on ARK Loader stuck on the line - Doing kernel exploit. Then PSP just turns off. Thankfully it's not bricked since I was able to use chronoswitch to go back to OFW.
My psp 3000 is stuck in the ARK custom firmware settings menu
cool isnt there a way to copy the downloaded files direct from your site and copy it to GAME folder?
i cant connect with internet
Are there files that I need not included as part of Ark so that I can get ps1 games to run? I copied the folders to the correct location and they show up as ps1 games but launching even official psn versions fail to run. I also installed and enabled the popsloader plugin and that didn't fix the issue either. thank you
You may need the npdrm_free_mod plug-in, or you may need the keys.bin files for your ps1 games.
@@seantheflutist That was it! I didn't have that npdrm plugin installed. They started booting once that was enabled. Thanks for the reply!
I have a psp 2001, and infinity just softbricks it every time i use it.
I have a psp 2001, installed ark, into the custom launcher, but doesnt see any iso's?
Can you do this if you already have pro update
Will the work on the PSP 1000?
and if i installed all of this how do i install games to my psp now?
Can you please tell how to download psp games without pc or mobile please
I downloaded the three ARK files on PC and it doesn't work when I put those filles on my memory stick. Can you help me? My WiFi doesn't support WPA
Can you explain how to use plugins ?
can you explain how this works? i've been trying to do something similar
after loding ark instaler ark loader didnt show up on my psp go pls help :(
note : my psp go is unhacked this first time hacking it
He fixed it go try again
How can I change graphics on one of my modded games
Do we need to install infinity first before doing ark?
When I went to infinity it said could not disable kernel whitelist (fffff)
When I open Infinity Loader 2 for the first time, it says: "Could not disable kernel whitelist (fffff)"
How would you download games after this? By the way great video!
I’m wondering the same thing, when you mod it from the computer you make files on the psp to work so maybe when you connect it to a pc you can import them to the file assuming they’re there because you have the mod installed
If u guys found out can yall let me know
Unfortunately I still haven’t figured how to download free games . New video needed asap
Hi can I delete the ark loader and the infinity 2 after I modded my psp ?
You can, but if you ever choose to change your infinity settings you may need to reinstall it.
Can I delete the files on psp after installation of infinity boot loader
Why would the ARK loader not show up for me? The infinity file is the only one in my memory stick after running the first Ark file the loader does not show up.
The ark devs renamed something in their release build, so I had to update my packaging scripts. Should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting it.
@@lusid1games ok I'm gonna go try it again now thanks man
@@lusid1games hey hey you did fix it man thank you! Now if only I could figure out what all I put on my PSP and what it actually does and what all I can do with it lol!??? If it's not apparent I'm not very technologically inclined lol
@@gusvaughn7666 I suppose the next easiest thing to do is head back to my portal in the PSP browser and install some demos.
can i delete ark installer and cipl flasher after fully installing them?
@@tetenc555 you can. No need to keep them around.
How to download games i have the psp3000 help
Hey, i follow your steps to the T and im getting error 80010078 when launching my downloaded games. Ive tried changing the UMD settings in vsh but nothing has worked
So CFw is running and you can get into the vsh menu, but the games themselves do not?
Please make plugins video
Hey man, not to say i dont appreciate your work, but i've been anti video guide for ages because often the brevity of video omits important details.
Case in point, im here because someone on a discord server im on didnt know you cant install CIPL over a pro C2 infinity install without wiping to OFW first and it soft bricked their console, im working right now to help them but ARK doesnt seem to have a lot of documentation online so im going off my pro C2 knowledge, luckly it boots to recovery menu so there is hope yet.
TL;DR: please have a text guide that is more detailed instead of recommending the video one out of the gate.
Can you get any games?
Can u do this over 6.61 pro-c
Sic brotha thanks
help please i formatted my psp 3004 memory stick direct to my computer and when I turn on my PSP black screen and green light only can anyone please help me
how do you add games without a pc??
Did you find out? He seems to have a few in his website
@@MicaelAzevedo yeah i just usede my grandmas pc
Excuse me, does this work for psp 1000?
Yes
but how to do i get the games
it asks me do i want to save this file what do i do
help, when i open Infinity 2, after the psp sign, the screen turno black and after a few seconds the psp turn off
after it powers off, hold down the home button and power it back on. This should boot it into original firmware, and you can try running infinity again.
Hi sir could you help me,my install games say corrapted data,will you please help me i dont know what todo.
usually thats from either not putting them in the right location, or storing them in an unsupported format.
@@lusid1gamescan you add games to this over wifi too? Also thank you for the tutorial it's cool af
Hey, I am having trouble connecting to WIFI. Where would I put the ARK files if I was to do this via USB cable? I’m already on 6.61 & PRO Infinity CFW
In that case, you can download the latest ark release from their GitHub, copy the ark_01234 folder into save data, and the ark_live into the game folder. The infinity upgrade eboot goes in PSP/GAME/UPDATE. Upgrade infinity first, reboot, run ark loader, then set infinity to autoboot into ark.
@@lusid1games thank you! I followed your steps & it worked perfectly Please keep making PSP videos
@@lusid1games for me i got the infinity & or the other one on but i cant get the games on it i have been trying all that like watching videos how to do it with no luck
I get to infinity 2, run that, shuts down then few seconds later it switched the psp off? Tried twice now same thing, what am I doing wrong? Have tried the home and power on and run again, same happens
Update, silly me had already installed the infinity 2, so all ok it's now permanent. 👍
Did this method as couldn't connect using USB lead with PC using windows 11, don't know if anyone has a solution for this, but it's done now I used my phone as the WiFi hotspot.
Hey, my psp won't turn on, but it charges. i was playing on gta liberty city stories after that. The psp wouldn't boot back up. i bought a fresh battery, and even now, it still won't boot can you help me?
Try holding in the home button when you turn it on or take the battery out and if it turns on like that try popping your battery back in
Can I do this with my psp go?
Yes. It should work as shown on a PSP go. Just use the PSPgo version of original firmware if you need to run chronoswitch
@@lusid1games thx
What can u do with this firmware
I followed all steps but don’t get the ark loader. What I have to do😢
Same here
@@cathexistshe fixed it go try again
Psp the best game console so far
I’m gonna mod my adrenaline psp emulator for psvita I will edit this and say if it works or not
Where do i get the games from?
How do i get the games?
Is your site still active? I tried to go there but for some reason it gives a server error.
Thanks for the heads up. I was a casualty of google domains and the new DNS config isn't quite right. Check back in a bit.
@@lusid1games Thanks for the quick response man!
So , does that give you free games?
I have the Ssl issue with everything
My portal site is configured to not use SSL, but the WiFi network you are connecting to might be trying to force you through an SSL authentication page. Suggest trying a different network.
hey! I have a question: can I update to 6.60 or 6.61 from 4.02 M33-2? thanks! I don't really know how psps work, and I'm using a hand-me-down
You can but that firmware probably has some upgrade protections you’ll have to disable first.
@@lusid1games how do I check if there's any of those upgrade protections?
