    Default PSP 6.61 Question and Custom Firmware

    Does upgrading from 6.60 to 6.61 stop any emulators, ISOs or custom made PS1 games from working? I know there's no real point to upgrading to 6.61 and you could probably just downgrade somehow, but someone asked me today and I had to tell them I had no idea

    Thanks for any answers

    6.61 OFW was just an update for online crap afaik, I don't think any of the recent (there were 2 or something like that?) titles actually need it.
    I don't know if there are any 6.61 CFW

    So would upgrading render custom stuff from 6.60 non-working or not? I think that was the bit that confused me, but I guess if the update changes literally ONLY some online features then I guess it wouldn't affect other stuff at all.

    You best bet would be to check Wololo, they have all the information you need regarding PSP hacking/CFW/plugins/etc.

    I would just test Brandish and the other title (can't remember what it was now) to see if they work on 6.60 CFW. If they work then changing anything atm is rather pointless.

    I think there are only 2 recent titles.

    The two titles that came out during OFW 6.61 is Brandish and Yugioh ARC V Tag Force Special, they do not require 6.61 to run, its just a last ditch attempt to stop the games from getting pirated on PSN, didn't work

    Only reason I want to upgrade my CFW to 6.61 is to be able to play online, not much else to it unless you want DLC.

    Yeah so I suggest having two PSPs or just not upgrading, JUST in case 6.61 stops anything working. That was what advice I had in mind before I asked but it's always worth checking huh
