Prequsites

  • Having at least 80% battery life
  • Fully secured battery that will not fall out
  • Ideally, a charger plugged into the system
  • A 6.20 or newer firmware PUP. Anything older instead requires a compatible PSP with a JigKick & Magic Memory Stick.

Usage

  1. Download the latest build of Chronoswitch.
  2. Get the desired firmware update for your PSP. They can be reached from the following places:
  3. Transfer Chronoswitch's EBOOT.PBP file in the file path of ms0:/PSP/GAME/Chronoswitch/EBOOT.PBP on the console's memory stick, with ms0:/ being the root directory.
    • If using the PSP Go's internal storage, ms0:/ instead becomes ef0:/.
  4. Transfer the firmware update file to ms0:/PSP/GAME/UPDATE/EBOOT.PBP on the console's memory stick, with ms0:/ being the root directory.
    • If using the PSP Go's internal storage, ms0:/ instead becomes ef0:/
    • If your update file is named something like 6.61.PBP, then rename it to EBOOT.PBP
  5. Launch the Chronoswitch application and follow the on-screen instructions. Once completed, the PSP will restart and will now be on the official firmware version that was chosen.
