Project Infinity will grant your PSP the ability to install a Hybrid Firmware, which in return will make it possible to install a permanent 6.61 LME or 6.61 PRO Custom Firmware.Let’s get started! Project Infinity:Most of the information about Project Infinity were given, and of course on Davee’s own blogpost over at.Nonetheless we would like to mention that Infinity is not a Custom Firmware by itself. It will install a Hybrid Firmware on your PSP, which can of course use a CFW.The 6.31/6.61 Hybrid Firmware will exactly behave like the normal 6.61 OFW, with the exception that it can unbrick your PSP in some cases.You read right, the Infinity Hybrid Firmware can unbrick any PSP (in most cases), as long as it had been installed prior to the device bricking.Now let’s get prepared, because we have to take care of a few things, before we flash the Infinity Hybrid Firmware. Necessary things & Files:General Preparation:At first you have to own a PSP that is not a PSP E1000. Any other PSP, except for the E1000, is compatible with Project Infinity.As long as your PSP does not look like the PSP above, you will be able to use the Infinity Hybrid Firmware (the incredibly rare 3000 07g should, in theory, be supported as well).Otherwise it is recommended that your PSP is currently running any kind of modern 6.xx CFW. This would mean a ME, LME or PRO Custom Firmware for the versions 6.20, 6.35, 6.39, 6.60 or 6.61.If you do happen to run a 6.xx on any other version, such as 6.31, 6.36, 6.37 or 6.38, we would suggest to update your CFW to a more recent version, because older Custom Firmwares could be a problem.It is also recommended that your PSP has a rather full battery (50%) and the charger should be plugged in, just to be sure that the PSP won’t power off.Necessary Files. You will have to download a few files, that are crucial to installing the Infinity Hybrid Firmware.

It is also recommended to have at least 200MB of free space on your Memory Stick / Internal Storage.Depending on your device, you will either have to download the & for most PSPs (PSP X000 updaters), or the & for the PSPgo (PSPgo updaters).In the end you should have the 6.31 & 6.61 updaters that your PSP supports. All PSPs that have an UMD drive (1000, 2000, 3000, E1000) share one updater file, while the PSPgo has its very own updaters.You will also need the 6.61 custom firmware files for the CFW of your choice: Either. You should not use the ME CFW or PRO’s cIPL flasher; stick to the LME CFW or PRO CFW without cIPL!The last files you will need are all provided by Davee himself. You will need the and you might need the, if you decide to uninstall the Infinity Hybrid Firmware.The reason to use the temporary variants of LME & PRO is, that the ME CFW (and PRO’s cIPL Flasher) comes pre-shipped with a cIPL and a cIPL only works on the PSP 1000 and 2000 (non-88v3).

These old PSPs, the ones that support the Pandora battery, should stick to the ME CFW or a cIPL’d PRO CFW.Infinity is superior to the 6.20 permanent patch, but Infinity is inferior to the cIPL Custom Firmwares. If possible, use a cIPL Custom Firmware, assuming your device supports it.Infinity does of course work on the PSP 1000 & 2000 (including 88v3!) as well, but it is recommended to stick to cIPL; you only need Infinity on the newer “unhackable” PSPs.You may install Infinity on your old “hackable” PSPs, but it won’t be the optimal choice, due to cIPL being superior. Preparing the Files for our PSP:We do not want to brick our PSP, so we will have to copy the recently downloaded files to the correct location on our memory stick.The Infinity Hybrid Firmware can only be successfully installed, if you copy the necessary files to the proper memory stick locations.Davee’s files will give you 3 folders: Infinity Builder, Infinity Flasher and Bootloader.All three folders have to be copied to the /PSP/GAME/ folder, so that our PSP will detect 3 new Homebrews.You will also have to copy the 631.PBP and 6.61.PBP files from the updaters into the Infinity Maker folder. The Updater ZIPs may list the PBP-Files as EBOOT.PBP files, so simply rename them from EBOOT.PBP to 631.PBP (in the case of FW 6.31) or 661.PBP (in the case of FW 6.61).Please do not use the wrong updater files.

Only use the PSPgo Updaters on a PSPgo, and only use the general Updaters on a PSP XOOO (a PSP that has an UMD drive).In the end the Infinity Builder folder should contain a 631.PBP, a 661.PBP and a plain EBOOT.PBP file. The Infinity Flasher and Bootloader folder will have a respective EBOOT.PBP of their own, you won’t have to touch (add/delete/modify) these folders at all.As long as you don’t intend to uninstall the Infinity Hybrid firmware, you won’t need the Chronoswitch Downgrader v7, so feel free to ignore it for now. Tutorial: How to properly install Infinity:Assuming you have did everything right so far, we should now be able to properly install the Infinity Hybrid Firmware.The first thing you will have to do is start the Firmware Builder. This will create a necessary file out of the 631 & 661 Updaters, which we will need prior to installing Infinity.Depending on your PSP and its Memory Stick, this might take 2 to 5 minutes. On a PSPgo this is noticeably faster, due to the smaller Updater files and the PSPgo’s blazing fast Internal Storage.When the Firmware Builder is finished, we connect our PSP to our PC once again.

We will have to move the newly created DATA.MFC file.We grab the DATA.MFC file, that is currently inside of the /PSP/GAME/MAKER/ folder, and will move it into the /PSP/GAME/FLASHER/ folder. That is everything we have to do.We can disconnect our PSP from our PC and continue to finally flash the Infinity Hybrid Firmware.Be sure that your battery has enough juice to keep your PSP powered, otherwise you may end up with a brick.If you want to be sure that nothing happens, plug in the PSPs charger and don’t unplug it until the installation has finished.Simply start the Infinity Flasher and be sure to read the Disclaimer. If you agree with it, proceed to flash the firmware.Flashing the firmware will take around 2 to 3 minutes, and you will have to restart your PSP afterwards.Your PSP should now be running the Infinity Hybrid Firmware. Adding a permanent Custom Firmware to Infinity:The Infinity Firmware Flasher has installed the 6.31/6.61 Hybrid OFW to your device.What was that, OFW? That is correct. Infinity is not a custom firmware by itself, and will behave exactly like the normal 6.61 OFW.This means that you will have to install the LME CFW or PRO CFW and then use the CFWs respective launcher, to actually start the just installed LCFW.You can simply do this by using the LME CFWs Installer & CFW Launcher, or PRO CFWs Installer & Fast Recovery.After doing this, you will have a temporary LME or PRO CFW on your device.

Feel free to check the System Information, to verify that you are indeed running an LCFW.The final step would be to make the just installed LCFW permanent, right?To do this you will have to start the Bootloader Configurator. It will greet you with a ‘Welcome to Infinity’ message and its respective animation.You are able to press Left or Right to switch to the Bootloader configuration menu and the Infinity Update Utility, respectively. Pressing Select will do a secret third thing 😉Use the Bootloader configuration menu and either select PRO CFW or (L)ME CFW to make said CFW a permanent one. This process is super fast and won’t take a single second to finish.Afterwards just exit the Homebrew via the Home/PS-Button. If you now fully reboot your PSP it should automatically boot into the Custom Firmware of your choice (as long as said CFW had been installed prior to making it permanent).The CFW will be permanent, even removing the battery or it being fully emptied won’t wipe the CFW from your device.

It is now a permanent Custom Firmware, that gets started when you turn on your PSP.You can freely change the permanent CFW from LME to PRO or from PRO to LME, as long as you have installed the new target CFW prior to doing so. How to remove/uninstall Infinity. Just sending my appreciation along to Davee and the rest for their hard work and commitment to this project. They do it out of love, that much can be said for certain.

I was not here when the scene was “at it’s peak” but I am very grateful now to have a device which can play all the portable games/systems I desire to run on it. Thanks so much for making this possible and thank you Wololo for having this space we can gather to discuss such things.P.S. – Anyone out there still play Wagic?

I would like to know about local multiplayer if that’s possible or not. As with any and every custom firmware, yes, naturally you can. However, you should always format any memory card you are using for the first time with that cfw through the hacked PSP’s “Format Memory Card” option under System Settings, in order to have the folder structure effortlessly copied to the card.In short you’ll have to:a) Remove current mem card and make a backup of everything you’ll want on the other mem card (if any) in the PC, keepng the folder structure as is. I cannot help you with that since it’s the first time I learn of such contraption 😛 I have a couple of pro duo cards from ye olde times that i abandoned in favor of my beloved 8Gb one. More than 8 gigs sound too much any more even more so. Just consider how long it’d take to load the games on the xmb 😛 if you have to use this gimmick go with one card only.

Also, as a rule of thumb, different specs’ flash memory models are unstable to work together 😉You coud find your model with the mentioned software: pspident, i think it’s called? It’s totally safe and trustworthy 🙂 Chances that you have an 07g model are abysmally small btw.Finally, if you would take the effort to read through the instructions slowly once, you’d see that it is mentioned to backup your mc first (as you should whenever you’re to mess with it it’s free and fast 😛 ). The process.will.format it at the end, i think 😉 Just follow the instructions, they are safe. When all’s done, copy any file you want from your pc.selectively. – don’t just copy the entire psp folder for example, because some folders maybe are changed?Have fun!

Forgive me for asking this question, after all am just a newbie at this stuff. Regarding about the video tutorial above at the time of 5:32 – 5:35; the person who made the tutorial stated that “I got my LME installer, I got my LME Launcher”. That’s where I got confused.

I all have the files except for those two. The LME installer and the launcher. Although, I prefer PRO CFW and that’s where I got lost. Where do I download this PRO installer and PRO launcher. Would like to get some help for this ASAP. Am using a PSP Go.

Worked perfectly for me on a PSP 2001. Followed all instructions, have only experienced crashing when you hit select in the XMB to access the CFW configuration menu and EXIT the configuration menu, but this is VERY minor.

My only question regarding Infinity and the permanent CFW is simple: can I now delete the PRO-C Update and PRO-C Fast Recovery? They’ve always been annoying to look at.P.S. For the “Tutorial: How to properly install Infinity” section, the first thing that should have been mentioned is to make sure you are booted into the CFW of you’re choice, as it seems this is where some people are stumped when they get the “Corrupted” message when launching the Infinity Firmware Builder.

It should be obvious, but there are those that may not have understood this entire tutorial correctly and still believe Infinity is a CFW.
