Just finished modding my DSi with your guide, then remembered I have a fully functional PSP. Lo-and behold you have a perfect guide for exactly what I need! Thank you so much for your guides
@@jamesawosoji6711 any rom website works just fine, plug in your psp via usb or use a dongle to read the memory card and install the game into the folder titled "ISO". make sure you're putting the file with a disc as the icon and not the folder the file should come in
@BytesNBits i just have the problem that my psp dont recognize my sd card. Its formated in fat 32 and my Adapter works too so i gave up and modded my vita instead.
@@BytesNBits the plastic of the Adapter was really thin so i guess its the adapter thats broken because the sd card works and my micro to big sd card adapter for pc too
I followed your steps and was a little stressed because the files I downloaded weren’t in iso format but in disc image file… it still worked though thank you so much!,!
I'm putting on a new original case on my psp today so it looks brand new. I'm a little scared of breaking something because it's very delicate inside. I'm going to buy some tweezers today to help. I've never owned a psp, I just bought a second hand one off eBay but it has a crack on the screen and a few scratches on the back, so I need to put all the parts in the case. I have already followed you guide to softmod it. I have downloaded Wipeout off Vim's Lair and it works really well! Thanks for the guide!
@BytesNBits No I didn't, actually. I followed your guide word-for-word, and downloaded UMB ISO files to the ISO folder, and my PSP doesn't show the games at all. Are there any good websites you recommend to get different ISO files?
Thank You Very Much. I recently found a PSP Go, and never understood how to install CFW to play games that I downloaded as iso files. Your tutorial was so simple and I was SO SATISFIED and APPRECIATIVE. THANK YOU AGAIN. P.S. How do I do the same for my PS VITA?

Hello. How come I can only see Ark Live after I run Ark by itself but when i try to CIPL download, the Ark in.my system settings isn't there anymore. It just says version 6.61
From memory I think it can take up to 1TB but please check. Even that is probably a bit of overkill but I guess it depends on what you want to put onto the system.
Yes. There is an uninstall option in the ARK software or you can use ChronoSwitch to downgrade to an official firmware - github.com/DaveeFTW/Chronoswitch
You can install only ark loader and not cipl. But you will have to open ark loader every time you power on the psp because it removes the mod when you shut it down . Cipl makes the mod permanent after a shut down and is optional.
Maybe I'm a little bit to late but, for now i have a 1GB Memory Card From Sony in My PSP 1000. ARK-4 Works perfectly fine but I can't play downloaded roms. Do I Need a Memory card with a micro SD slot or did I do something wrong? Thanks for the tutorial It was really helpful.
I’m downloading actual psp games, I unzip them but they aren’t in iso format, not sure how to get them in iso, I was able to get my ps1 games and convert them and they worked but not the psp games
Thank you this guide was helpful. I managed to install 6.61 ARK-4 cIPL flawlessly on both PSP 1000 and PSP 2000 models. However I can't get the VSH menu open at all. Im trying to change the X and O buttons. DId you have this problem?
I saw another guy on RUclips put in a memory card inside his PSP and click a few buttons on the PSP without using his computer. Does that mean there’s different ways to mod a psp?
I Dont want to fully install the firmware cause I downloaded the 6.60 version instead of the 6.61 so I am scared to do the CiPL installation. By the way I am trying to make ISO appearing in my PsP but I Cant see them, or broken data. I am pro in modding and this is becoming to be hard to me thats crazy, I hope I will figure it out soon EDIT: I DID IT, I just copied 2 folders instead of 3 , the ark_01234 and the arkLOADER 1.my error was not putting the ISO folder in the root, I was creating the ISO folder inside the PSP folder 2. my second error was doing all this process without formatting the memory stick. Make sure you format before doing all this. 3. ISO files can be found searching on reddit love you all
Great video! I am now at the last step and am stuck. I have games in bin and cue formats but can’t for the life of me get them to convert to ISO format. Do you know of an efficient way to have this done? Thank you!
Thank you very much for the video. I know that the PSP store has not had a function for a long time, but until a couple of weeks ago you could enter it from the console. However, currently when I try to log in or enter the store, it returns an error. Could you confirm if it is something general? Thanks again.
Im having a lot of trouble. i made a folder called "ISO" under the root, and then i unzip a zip archive and get the iso file, i drag the iso file into the iso folder, wait for it to finish and then disconnect. when i plug the sd back in, some of my storage is gone but the game is not there at all, not even as corrupted data.
I don't think ARK will list the game if the file isn't correct. Does this happen for all the games you've tried or just a couple. Check the files are not larger than 4GB. That's the limit for files in FAT32.
Looks like a really nice console. I guess there will be a range of retro gaming systems you can install onto it. I've not tried one out, but I did buy an R36 open source linux console that works great.
It depends on how far you got with the hack. You'll probably need to run chronoswitch - github.com/DaveeFTW/Chronoswitch - to take it back to the original firmware.
I'm not sure about that one. You'd need to check first in case it affects any of your installed games. I'm not sure if the update files are left in this folder or copied over to the game folders.
hello, so i am at the step where you check in your system settings if everything ran correctly, but it says 6.61 ME-2.8. is this correct and just different because the ark 4 files in the archive are new and updated or did i do anything wrong?
I think 6.61 ME-2.8 is a different firmware hack. It's probably blocked ARK4 from installing. You may be able to use the PSP as it is. If you want to use ARK4 you'll need to restore to the original firmware and then install ARK. Look up something called Chronoswitch
@ thank u for your quick response but I actually continued your tutorial and I was able to put the games on my psp but now my psp is running the games slow also games from a disc and on my original memory stick too. I saw a video that u should change the CPU settings but when I am in that menu I can’t select the setting.
Make sure you've updated your stock firmware to a compatible version. ARK4 will work with the latest and the previous version but check the project page for details. Make sure your memory card is properly formatted and working. Of that all checks out try re installing ARK4.
When I attempted to load to CIPL it keeps saying the data is corrupted. The Ark loader is very hit and miss aswell. Psp keeps turning its self off when loading. Any suggestions?
can you switch the sd card once everything is installed if you want to upgrade storage? i bought a psp that came with an sd card with everything but its only 8 gb and i think i want to get a 128 gb, if i cant switch it out then i might just delete the games i have once im done with them and then just download more.
Do you know any good websites where I can get working iso files? Because all the iso files I’m downloading show as corrupted data, and I don’t know if it’s the actual file or if I’m doing something wrong
I've not tried this with a Mac. Can you install a virtual PC using VirtualBox and then transfer files from that? Or borrow a Windows laptop from someone.
Make sure your PSP is running the latest version of ARK and that you are installing the new version of cIPL (check the video on how to do this). If it doesn't work just redo the whole hacking process.
Hello mate I’m struggling a lot with the actual game files. I can’t seem to open them to get the ISO files. It keeps asking me what I want to open it with and I have no idea any help would be appreciated thank you

Vimms Lair was until very recently a very good place for these files, but Nontendo, etc. have forced them to remove a lot of games. Also try the Internet Archive.
It sounds like either the charging port has a bad connection or broken track, or your battery has died. If you turn it off and leave it on charge for a while. Then turn on with the power connected so it boots up. Then unplug the power. Does it die instantly, or does it stay on for a couple of seconds. If it stays on for a few seconds it might just be a dead battery. If it goes off instantly it might be the charging port. Hope this helps.
PLEASE HELP! Majority of games run ok from ISO. But patched psp games, wont start, black screen, nothing happens. And some games boot but cand start a new game, would frezze. WHAT, can i do ?

You need to have a look around the Internet. Try the Internet Archive.

Question: I'll be getting a PSP Go, will I be able to install this software directly onto the internal storage without fear of bricking the console?
I don't know about the internal storage. I would tend to use the SD card approach and just leave that in the machine.
ARK_cIPL: Works on every retail model (1K, 2K, 3K, Go and Street).
If i make a mistake, can i delete all the files and keep it the same, or is it risky to delete them
It depends on how far you got with the hack. You'll probably need to run chronoswitch - github.com/DaveeFTW/Chronoswitch - to take it back to the original firmware.
when i open ark clpl flasher says my model not compatible
What psp are you using?
hey i got a problem when i open cIPL it say the uninstall infinity first idk what thats is and i cant find any kind of folder with it
You need to use an app to uninstall infinity. Have a look here - gbatemp.net/download/psp-infinity-go.37154/
i followed the steps on adding ark to the psp but when i go to the memory stick under game it shows ark loader as corrupted data
Just redo the software loading. Maybe try a different SD card if you still have problems.
Can I delete the “UPDATE” folder out of my psp/games directory? It says I can delete the update data but I’m not sure from where.
I'm not sure about that one. You'd need to check first in case it affects any of your installed games. I'm not sure if the update files are left in this folder or copied over to the game folders.

Vimms Lair was until very recently a very good place for these files, but Nontendo, etc. have forced them to remove a lot of games. Also try the Internet Archive.
Hi I tried this and now it won't turn on unless its plugged in. Can you help?
It sounds like either the charging port has a bad connection or broken track, or your battery has died. If you turn it off and leave it on charge for a while. Then turn on with the power connected so it boots up. Then unplug the power. Does it die instantly, or does it stay on for a couple of seconds. If it stays on for a few seconds it might just be a dead battery. If it goes off instantly it might be the charging port. Hope this helps.
PLEASE HELP!
Majority of games run ok from ISO. But patched psp games, wont start, black screen, nothing happens. And some games boot but cand start a new game, would frezze.
WHAT, can i do ? Used 2 types of sd cards, high quality, others games run ok. Modes my device only to play RPG that are translated.
I'm not sure about patched games. It's not something I've looked into. Do the original games work OK.
I can't update it to 6.61 cause im from Europe and the wifi doesn't work here anymore, is it still possible on 6.60 ?
I'm in the UK and it seems to update OK. Are you able to use the PSP WiFi for other tasks.
@@BytesNBits No, i'm in Belgium and the wifi isn't supported and neither is my hotspot. So I can't do anything that requires wifi.
If you do the soft mod are you still able to use UMD's
Yes. All normal functions still work.
This didn't work for me I put the game in the ISO file on the psp and it doesn't appear, this is M.A.C.H which i just ripped using the psp.
It's worth trying another download version of the iso file in case it's corrupted in some way.
@@BytesNBits Thanks for replying, but the fix was putting it at the root as I (like a moron) had put it in the psp folder.
@@r0guepix3l50so it worked?
@@r0guepix3l50so you put the iso folder in the mp_root and it worked?
I have a PSP 1000 with official 1.50 software, can I upgrade to 6.61or 6.60 in one go?
Yes. Just run the standard updater first and then continue with the hack.
@@BytesNBits Perfect and thank you for the quick reply. Will give it a go now over the weekend
Can this tutorial be used with infinity?
Yes. You can use infinity instead of cipl.
how can install themes. i rally want a dragon ball z theme and i dont know how to do it
try this - github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/wiki/Custom-Themes
Do u know why my psp crashes with error 80010016 every time i run a game iso
Did you change memory card? That error suggests that part of the ARK code is missing. Try re installing ARK to clear the error.
No it's the same memory card. I have a psp street with sys soft 6.61 ARK 4 cipl with infinity. I can even access the vhs menu by holding select. I don't know what is going on
@@dariopervan5150 I'd try re installing ARK to make sure everything is in the right place.
@@BytesNBits still no luck. Maybe it happens because I have a psp street
The games I’m trying to download off vimms lair are not a file how do I get them in a file
They are probably in an archive file. You'll need a package like 7-zip to open them to get the files you want.
What websites can you download games from?
try searching for roms megathread
can somone help i tried running ark cipl flasher and it keeps saying data is corrupted
Pretty sure gotta copy paste not drag
Try updating the ARK firmware or re installing it. This might clear the error.
can i put a 128gb easily in my psp? or is it too much storage
That will be fine.
Can you delete the files after you soft mod it?
Be careful which files you delete - or just leave them alone.
How to play PS1 and NES game on psp with firmware 6.61 Ark4 CiPL
I did make some videos on that. ruclips.net/video/E12_jmYl4uc/видео.html and have a look at the PSP playlist.
@BytesNBits thanks a lot 🙏
Is it possible to put every psp titles on one?
I think there's an upper limit to the size of the memory stick (64GB??). You can put on as many games as it will take.
after doing what you said my psp3000 system info says 6.60 ARK-4 cILP
That should be OK. If you started with firmware 6.60 it will work with that.
still kinda lost on the part where your actually supposed to get games on there
You basically need to get hold of a game ISO file from somewhere and simply copy it into the correct folder on the memory card.
i love u
ive been finding a lot of disc's not iso's what should i do?
You can play the discs as normal in the UMB drive. ISO files are out there on the web. Vimms Lair and the Internet Archive are good starting points.
