[PSP Tutorial] [PSP Tutorial]Custom Firmware (L)ME 6.39 v9.7 | 6.60 v1.6 released - few updates!

========================================

UPDATE(s):
6.60 has been updated, now v1.8

After several beta releases, finally neur0n has released his Stable version of ME Custom Firmware for the latest Official Firmware, 6.60 which was released by Sony days ago.
This is only for fully hackable PSP, 1000 and early 2000, so for those who has 3g and above, use 6.39 LCFW instead.
NOTE: Since this CFW is still new, not all plugins for the previous version will work, also, bugs may happen as well.

PSP developer, also PRO Team dev, neur0n has released his Custom Firmware called Minimum Edition (ME) for 1000, 2000, 3000, and GO models, that uses 6.39 OFW.
For this release, some changes and additions has been implemented for the GO model, also additional function when using ISO/CSO, like software update.

As always, installing a CFW always has the risk of brick, AND I WON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THAT HAPPEN!!
so please follow the instructions carefully, and use the right files depending on your model.

That's all, and thanks.

EDIT:
v9.2 has been released.

hey there, so if i wanna play crash bandicoot collection i should install some of this versions?

Some? you only need one of the two versions.

If you unsure which, state your PSP model, and firmware(I assume it was 6.39, right?)

UPDATE:
quick fix for both versions, fixed bugs when using GCL and CwCheat.

i got version 6.39, so i install one of this, and thats all?

Which PSP model is that? 1000, 2000, 3000, or GO?

Yes, and make sure you use the right file.

its the very first one 1000, can you tell me please what should i excactly do? And i just downloaded version CFW ME-9.2

Since you don't have any CFW or HEN installed,
- First, download this, and put it on your /PSP/GAME/ folder
- Then run TN-A installer from your XMB
- After that, check your System Information, make sure it was 6.39 TN-A
- Download 6.39 Official Firmware, extract, then rename the EBOOT.PBP to 639.PBP
- Copy 6.39.PBP to /PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder (create if you don't have one)
- Next, copy to EBOOT.PBP from the ME-9.2 UPDATE folder to the /PSP/GAME/UPDATE
- Unplug your USB cable, then run the installer from the XMB(not the TN-A installer).
- When you've done, check you System Information again, it should be 6.39 ME-9.2 or something.

whats the XMB?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XrossMediaBar

It basically series of icons or menus(such as GAME, VIDEO, SYSTEM, MUSIC, CAMERA, etc.) that will appear once you turn the PSP/PS3 on.

Oh btw, 6.60 OFW has been released, for those who consider updating, don't accidentally use the automated software update, or you're screwed.
Unlike 6.39, it patches any previous exploits, as well some1's downgrader.

Its working! thank you, i love you man.

Update:
6.60 ME released, only for fully hackable PSP(1000, early 2000) with 6.60 OFW.

i used automated psp update and i have 6.60 i downloaded the cfw. but i dont understand the firts step. can you explain: - First, install a HEN or CFW on your PSP, it can be anything, such as PRO or TN-HEN or ME ?

Yes, you need to have at least a CFW/HEN on your PSP before you can install this CFW.
Since the installer can't be executed directly from OFW, and need certain CFWs/HEN to do so(read the Readme.txt)

For now, just be patient and wait for some kind of tool, like a new downgrader to be released.

so there is no way to fix it rite now? if there is tell me in detail since i have no idea what half the stuff is.
