Davee self titled his method “a boot-time hack” when he first talked about it.Īnyways what this means for you is that as soon as you have Infinity installed you can simply add a classic custom firmware like ME or PRO on top of Infinity what would make it a Custom-custom/semi-official-hybrid-firmware running on your PSP!! ? Today we know Infinity is even more interesting because it makes use of an old and former used solution from way back in the days and is in fact the first ‘modern’ hybrid-firmware based on 6.61 & 6.31 combined! Why exactly 6.31? Well because this firmware ‘features’ a vulnerability which lets us execute code in the booting process making this a perfect entrypoint for this purpose.

Still, a permanent patch can be used only to firmware 6.20, so having a permanent patch (kind of) on 6.61 would be a big deal. It basically boots PSP directly into a custom firmware. Infinity is not a “traditional” permament patch. It is not a permanent patch as we know from earlier solutions and it does not involve a cIPL hack either. Today the last missing piece is finally here and just by looking at the gorgeous menu one can see the love & time Davee put into this huge project.Īs earlier mentioned Infinity works different to the older solutions. This leaves only the PSPgo and E1000 left, both of which will require a little more fine tuning to conquer. Today, I can now confirm that the boot-time hack works on PSP 1000, 20. Last year all I had was a proof of concept and even then it was bare and barely touched. Recently I’ve been rolling out actual device tests after many simulations and support software through the year. This doesn’t seem that long ago to me, but it actually has been almost a year since I mentioned it. Some time ago I mentioned that a 6.61 (6.60 then) boot-time hack was possible. Since then we were dependend on the so called light Custom Firmwares with the need to be manually reactivated after a cold reboot.

It was quite a long time ago since when Davee first talked about the possibility to create a new permanent-patch after Sony patched the first solution in the 6.30 firmware update due to new security checks. Davee‘s Infinity is here! The long awaited perma-patch for the newer “unhackable PSPs” above firmware 6.20 is finally ready!!
