How to Install the latest PRO Custom Firmware on your PSP : PRO-C2
http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/u...h/pic_0019.png
The PRO Team has just released the latest update of PRO CFW, which is PRO-C2, that comes with several optimization, bug fixes and changes, and more importantly, it support 6.20/6.35/6.39 as well 6.60 firmware for all PSP models.
==================================================
The Installation process is similar to the previous version, if you already on PRO, just run the UPDATER, but to be on the safe side,
uninstall everything(perma first, then the CFW), and run the installation from scratch.
For the POPSLoader support, it offer quite similar function like the POPSLoader for GEN/M33 CFW,
which is to increase the game compatibilities for PSX games, when playing it on your PSP.
But, for the PRO(as well on ME) version, you have up to 6.XX Pops support, which is another boost, I guess.
So, Enjoy, and ask if you have any question.

============= Upgrading to the latest PRO (#UPGM) =============
So, you're already on PRO? and want to upgrade to the latest one? There are 2 ways :
- Quick upgrade method ( fast, but a bit RISKY )
- Simply download the latest PRO release, and extract the files
- Plug-in your PSP to PC, go to GAME folder, and delete existing/old PRO files( FastRecovery, PROUPDATE, 620PRO_Permanent )
- Copy the latest PRO files( which you have extracted earlier) into that folder
- Then, close all windows, unplug your PSP
- On your XMB, go to GAME, and run the PROUPDATE
- Follow the instructions, and BOOM! you have successfully upgraded.
**** But, keep in mind, this is a bit risky, especially to those who are using permanent patch
- Uninstall & Reinstall method ( safer, and recommended )
- Simply download the latest PRO release, and extract the files
- Plug-in your PSP to PC, go to GAME folder, and delete existing/old PRO files( FastRecovery, PROUPDATE, 620PRO_Permanent )

- Then, close all windows, unplug your PSP
-[ For 6.20 with Permanent Patch]-
- First, run the PRO Permanent Bootloader from the XMB
- Press X to uninstall the patch
- wait for a while, and your PSP should back to XMB
- Then to remove the CFW completely, either by turning off your PSP, or choose Shutdown Device from the VSH menu, or (which is most safer) run the PROUPDATE and press the Triangle button.
**** these process applied to 6.39 with CIPL flasher as well
-[ For 6.35/6.39 ]-
- Just run the PROUPDATE and press the Triangle button
- or by turning off your PSP, or choose Shutdown Device from the VSH menu
