1.0 Date: October 2023 (Updated for archival purposes) Target Audience: PlayStation Portable (PSP) enthusiasts, retro gamers, and firmware modders. 1. Abstract The PlayStation Portable (PSP) homebrew scene has evolved significantly since the early days of Custom Firmware (CFW). One of the most stable and beloved older CFWs is 5.50 Prometheus-4 (5.50 GEN-D3 based), which was instrumental in playing newer game dumps at the time. However, as game development and plugin compatibility shifted toward later official firmware versions (6.35, 6.39, 6.60), staying on 5.50 Prometheus-4 became a limitation. This paper outlines the technical necessity, risks, and step-by-step procedure for upgrading from 5.50 Prometheus-4 to 6.60 PRO-C2, a modern, permanent, and highly compatible CFW. 2. Introduction 2.1 Background on 5.50 Prometheus-4 Released in 2010 by developer "liquidzigong," Prometheus-4 patched the ISO loader of 5.50 GEN-D3 to bypass anti-piracy measures (specifically EBOOT.BIN encryption) found in games like Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep . While revolutionary at the time, it lacks support for later signing algorithms (6.60+), some network features, and newer homebrew libraries. psp 5.50 prome-4 to 6.60 pro
