PSP Custom Firmware 6.20 Mad-002 Released; Sorta Kinda… *Updated*
greg | February 12, 2010
Update: Oh, and 003… It’s a fake too. Don’t bother.
Update: Furthermore, Sorrow says it via the comments, “It isn’t corrupted… But when I run it, it says checking ms0 for 630 EBOOT, and it just keeps checking…”, which backs up DiGi-C’s claim concerning Mad-001. So as I see it, 5.00 M33: it’s a never ending EBOOT check, and 5.50 GEN-D3: it’s corrupt. They didn’t even get the EBOOT name right.
Update: I guess I’m not the only one with the corrupt EBOOT, so says pspgen. Mind you: I don’t believe it’ll brick your PSP as it doesn’t even run. For now I’d file this under F for fuck’s sake. The download has also been disabled for the time being.
Well, it’s released all right… Whether it works — that’s a whole different ball game. I’ve been paying close attention to the news surrounding Custom Firmware 6.20 Mad, and just now: 6.20 Mad-002 was released. Sadly the update EBOOT is corrupt, at least for me it is… Nice try I guess. Anyone else?
- Download the 6.20 firmware EBOOT below.
- Rename that to 620.PBP and copy it to the root of your memory stick.
- Download 6.20 Mad-002 below and copy that EBOOT to your PSP/GAME/UPDATE folder.
- Run it. If it isn’t corrupt.
This supposed custom firmware is for PSP-1000 and PSP-2000 non-TA088v3 models only. Please use with caution; you may want to ready your Pandora battery and Magic Memory Stick too.

I really can’t wait to be able to hack my psp Go. am hoping this gets to the Go!
Good, you removed the source pspcustomfirmware dot com is the most ugly, full of adverts (More than this site!) noob psp there is. They always post fake BS. Greg you should learn and ignore the shit pspcustomfirmware dot com posts.
Its the WORST psp site in the world lol
I learned that yesterday :)
I´ll give it a try……
It isn´t corrupted…but when i run it, it says checking ms0 for 630.eboot…..and it just keeps checking…….
what cfw are you currently running?
5.00m33-6
Ah! That probably explains the corrupt vs. non-corrupt problem. I’m 5.50 GEN-D3.
By the way….my psp is a fat one…
Let us with pandora kits test this before use it :)
here is how you do it
1. rename the eboot.pbp (the 6.20 ofw one)
2. rename it as 630.pbp
3. put it in the root of memory stick
4. have fun with exploit
(oh can i get a copy of it i deleted mine by accedent)
If this is real, I’ll eat the nearest inanimate object.
(I think the nearest inanimate object will be just fine.)
Lucky for you this seems to be fake. Of course you could be sitting next to a pizza which would suck for you. Hmmm….
ROFL. Alright then.
I think the nearest would likely be your PSP at the time, since you’d be using it… which would kinda defeat the point.
DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET, DO NOT TRY THIS YET!!!!!!!!
full” version is released on Valentines Day
yeah right like it’s gonna work on valentine’s day…
yeah right like my girlfriend will let me work on my psp on valentine’s day
*I hear: ”DAMN RIGHT!!” that comes from behind me, as i was mumbling stuff she overheard and came looking at what i was doing… busted!*
but anyway… fukin’ fakin’ fakers… of course it doesn’t work… meh.
ahah lol
good its been leaked coz we can let the creator know whats good and whats bad with it…in terms of bugs and that.
wont work on gos and v3 mobos..

What a shock… not
I tried 001 last night and it turned out to be nothing more than a than eboot check spoof, so I’m not holding hopes for this either. Stranger things have happened however…
5 minutes into trying this and it seems its the same thing.
I love the fact the boards are alive and there’s new interest in the PSP again but seriously these fakers are gonna kill it pretty quickly at this rate =/
The really lame thing is it isn’t even a good joke. A good joke would have been to actually have the eboot DO something.
true that
double true
Triple true

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/135/l_df64570b2024432f94d449b2c566a03f.jpg
It says –
‘CFW 6.20 Mad 002
Checking ms0:/ 6.30.PBP’
(Yes 6.30, go fig :s)
then rename 6.20.pbp to 6.30.pbp and run it again lol
hahah nice
ok, last thing. Changed the name to 630 as 5h4d0w suggested, still nothing BUT it seems to eat up space on the memory stick, as much as 200+MB in 10 minutes, and it creates a log file, contents are

and then tomorrow will be a 0004 then 005 then a month later we are at 777 and then he people finally stop covering all new custom firmwares.
*forgot to backspace “he”*
Well, I’m gonna try it. I’ve got a pandora battery anyways.
HOLY SHIT! IT FORMATTED MY MEMORY STICK! DO NOT USE THIS!
“CFW 6.20Mod-003″ (Yes, MOD not MAD)
“Delete All files…….”
Then BOOM all my games/saves/songs/movies are gone.
Good thing I put this on my old 8GB and not my 32GB!
WARNING ABOUT THIS CRAP FILE!!!
This is an OBVIOUS scam and will cause damage to your computer, README isn’t spelled right and it says you have to open start.exe. DON’T RUN THIS!!!
has anyone installed this new cfw?
Conspiracy Theory:
Sony had a hand in this fake release to trick people into wiping ripped ISOs and homebrew from their memory sticks.
Booo Sony!
This doesn’t format your memory card… your just an idiot and pressed “Format” instead of dragging the file. :/
Thanks for your observation, though it’s inaccurate as I’ve not used my PSP in weeks. I’ve simply been reading the comments and posts of others.
Like this one:

That’s wierd cause here it says “Rename OFW eboot.pbp to 630.pbp”
http://pspcustomfirmware.com/features/psp-custom-firmware-6-20-mad-002-download.htm
Yes, that’s how the custom updates work. You change the name of an official eboot and the files are ripped or something.
But 6.30, another sign of SCAM.
Yes but on this website it says
“Rename that to 620.PBP and copy it to the root of your memory stick”
.
The correct firmware name is 620.PBP, the program indicates that it’s looking for 6.30PBP.
u have to rename it from eboot.pbp to 630.pbp
dang it…
Just tried here, it works like a charm.
If the propose was doing nothing, it is perfect! =D
i’m on 5.50GEN-D3 and i get the infinite check.
psp-2001 16gib sony ms, cxmb + sh-06a
Strange… I don’t – same cfw too. EIther way it doesn’t work.
look i know everyone whats a new cfw. but the name alone gives it away as a fake mad lol. its sceners pissed at th fact theirs no new cfw. but theirs light at the end of this. point is the new dumper works and a new cfw can be made. it also proves to gen by how quick the sites comments exploded there dead wrong abought people having no interest in 6x.
TEAM GEN IS FRENCH PUSSYS! just like all french.
True But got some good Custom Firmware.
From what I hear is this is only a DEMO. Program run even without pbp in MS root. The text file created may translate to “this is fake”. See you Sunday-Love all.
he doesn’t release it to you fuck bags.. you guys don’t deserve it.
you shut the fuck up, you sonovabitch
Excuse me, I know I am in the wrong place but there is something bothering me. Now that psardumper for PSP FW 6.00 – 6.20 has been released, it means that you can dump all the files on 6.20 to your psp right?
Just one question, if you put all the decrypted files of 6.20 to your psp 5.50-GEND3′s f0, will your psp be 6.20? Is it possible to play ISO’s?
sorry for being noob.
No, because the keys would be wrong. I tried doing the same thing a while ago but just with the PSN PRX’s to try to play online. My PSP couldnt do anything PSN-Related after that. Even if I clicked on the XMB icon; It just sat there and did nothing.
People are saying that this program creates a txt file that pretty much states it’s a Valentine’s joke (written in Japanese) and it won’t be done. The way I figure, it’s a joke-rip and not really the CFW we’re expecting… or it’s the actual CFW that’s fake and the creator wanted to play a V-Day joke on us all.
well i dun this and all i care about now is that i now have socom ftb3 online , when i couldnt b4
“For now I’d file this under F for fuck’s sake.”
Lol. The funniest thing about that post xD
What do you expect when a noobie comes into the sceen with nothing to show, Obviously a CFW in their works isn’t actually going to work ;)
lol, but it did brighten up my day about this site ;D
I just installed it as said above and worked good for me clean install and reboot no problems
and i’m using a psp-1001 thanks for download
can you play khbbs or god eater?
i dont think so
save file gone -kurosu
does this work yes or no and is it a fake
if you change 620 to 630 then run the updeter don’t let it stay or don’t use ITTTT!!!!
it has the probability to destroy or corrupt your memstick or the stuff inside it…
well it’s fine with cuz i used a 1gb memstick its
OLD…
gudluck guys…
bad english need to study more ;P
i have a fat psp i am on 5.50 GEN-D3. Would this work for me.
please someone tell me thanks.
is there any video proof that this actualy works.
well being you cant brick a pandora. even if you did you can unbrick with it. someone needs to translate the Japanese file and tell us the joke they played on us.
a lot of people on this site are writing anything. but no one is answering the question most people want to know which is. does it work YES OR NO?
Try it if you backup your files and have access to a pandora/mms (1000/2000). Otherwise don’t touch this “CFW” with a ten foot pole. I’m preferential to a ten foot pole personally, even with access to a pandora.
omg greg just change the title to bring back dax…. and tiki barber lool ok fine just dax, that should get us closer to a newer firmware then all these noob nobody’s.
The problem with the corrupt icon is not with 5.50. It is the name of the folder the update is in. It cannot be named UPDATE unless it is in the Game5XX folder. Also, if you have the version.txt enabled it will always say “error!” as it checks for the 620.pbp(“630.pbp”). I have it running right now on my test PSP (5.50Gen D-3). No progress yet, but patience is a virtue. I’ll update y’all once I find out if it works or not with a straight YES or NO.
Final word for now:
If you want it to run, you need to
1. Keep the folder structure as is when zipped(Mad-002) and place it in the GAME folder(or rename the folder to UPDATE and place it in the 5XX folder).
2. Rename the 620.pbp to “630.pbp” and place it in the root of your memory stick.
3. Disable the version.txt from the recovery menu.
4. Run and be patient(runs on both 5.00M33-6 and 5.50Gen).
5. Let us know with a yes or no if it works at all.
I already did everything mentioned there and it didn’t work for me. :/
Sorry to hear that. I got the EBOOT up and running, but NO it does not work.
Let it sit overnight and still checking. Fake all the way.
this is the beta release, the finished version comes out feb 14 at 2am our time uk , 4pm tokyo time, go to their website and see !!!
sure it will. and i did answer with who can read Japanese and tell us the prank they pulled. so working = no. it was a fake we got those alot back when dark alex was making cfw. and alot of bricked psp systems in those days being then we had no way to unbrick. i wouldn’t call team gen noobs they did a good job hacking up 5.50 to work with 6x stuff. can they do anything but mod darks work well so far its a no.
I tested on my silver slim psp, 6.20 mad-003 Said CFW 6.20 Mod-003, Deleting all files. And as i type this it is deleting my files apparently, i backed it up so it’s fine. But uhh.. Yeah.
Sorry if my english is bad.
And here I had my hopes up thinking, FINALLY something to do on my psp. Sadly, a let down.
As much as I would love to hate japan in general for this fake firmware, their women are way to hot to hate.
lol so your gonna hate a entire race due to some people pulling a prank. you better hate all french to being team gen is french and have been lazy abought making a 6x cfw.
yes their women are awesome.
has this acctualy worked for anyone
No, it just formats everyone’s memory sticks.
so then is this a complete fake and it hasnt worked for any one
PSP hacks should remove the link to prevent from the problem.
they did remove the link days ago. only the think to the original firmware is up.
As a tip for the future. One can always try the harmless method first (i.e the existing PSP emulators pcsp and jpscp). When I ran this EBOOT I got the same thing as Digi-C, even got the log as well.
Although I doubt pcsp or jpcsp is as good as the REAL thing (a real PSP that is), it still could serve as a safety net. In some occasions.
FAKE FAKE FAKE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJ9MvF8oTs
how dissapointing. this could have been the greatest hack since team GEN’s release
well we have a dumper its just a matter of someone talented enough to make a 6x cfw. and trust me its no easy task.
i know, its like reverse engineering the code.
Sony is doing a fantastic job guarding the go right now from custom firmware, When it does get hacked there are alot on craigslist im going there and im getting one, as for now it’s still gameimformer top fail of 2009 and it worked hard for that spot
I downloaded a differnt kind of update but it says its the same thing, cant remember where but in the UPDATE file it had 2 files, the eboot and another file that had four letters in its name, i cant remember but it didnt need the 630.PBP or anything on the root, i started it in a pap fat gen 5.50 d3 final and it came up as mad-002 and i loaded it and it said it cant install coz my firmware is 9.90 already, so i downgraded to 3.71-4 and did it and it loaded up YAY and ohh…i got this error sgt90000001 after i press O i can see for 1 second that it is a 6.20 update and it looks EXACTLY the same as a normal psp original firmware upgrade looks like. and then it reboots. :( anyway this error code normaly happen when the eboot is edited in some wrong way, can anyone plz provide any more info for me plz or try it out?
err NO this is FAKE and any attempts at bothering with it is just a WASTE of time
just forget it and wait for something else
well, good thing i have the new SOCOM Fireteam BRAVO 3 to keep me occupied until they fix this new thing for the PSP! Keep up the good work fellows!
i totally agree with doga maybe GEN will make something
not only do you gotta reverse engineer everything you gotta brake the new encryption and add shit like a iso loader. its a pain.
and being da didn’t give out any info on how he does this before he left the scene new teams are forced to start from scratch.
Is there a website other than this one that gives PSP scene news instead of fake firmwares and bullshit stories on how cool someone is cause they have a exploit that will be patched long before its releases. psp-hacks used to be a great place, now its full of bullshit and im moving on.
well would you rather download it, install it, brick your psp then go, “aw man, i wish i had known this was a fake before hand.” it’s called a warning. it’s fake. user beware type stuff. its informative and good info. dont be stupid
No where in the article description does it say ‘this is a fake’. These fucking articles lately have been about how awesome someone is because they have a super-secret exploit that everyone fucking knows about. The article should be about a confirmed fake firmware, and to avoid it, not about how ‘this could be real but it crashes’.
Fuck, maybe something will come out of that latest ps3 exploit and i’ll have a reason to dig out some of the old 1TB hdd’s i have in the closet.
its not the websites fault that the home brew community blew its self up without da.
my psp is useless……DAX COME BACK!(I am crazy and bored of psp)
Who made this? Who is Mad? They deserve to die!
haha karma’ll get em!
i ran this on my psp and it worked
god eater demo worked fine

hahaha I sell my stupid PSP week ago. This CFW shits, fakers and etc. piss me off and i sell it! Now i use my PS3! Is unhackable and much more fun, buy games and play it. No more plugins ,CFW’s and etc.
PS3 is hacked! It is not unhackable! Nothing is unhackable!
can i use this hack on my new psp 3004 with firm ware 6.10 if yes plese tell me the steps
nope! it is a FAKE!!!!
but ur wellcome 2 try!
Sorry if this is kind of late and a bit off, but out of curiosity i got this one by opening “help.html” (in notepad) from the fake Mad-003 zip file:
“http://default.uploda.biz/?help”
(this was a “href” typed inside the HTML file; if you open the file in a browser, you’ll see a “help” hyperlink linking to the above site)
As i went to the site i saw a bunch of IP addresses (including mine, in red) with Queries, Path and some numbers (i think ports) marked as “CLOSED”. =\
Might be bad. Don’t go to that site as it will log your IP. I was just wondering why they linked that site to the fake CFW and what harm can it possibly do.
People are MAD now. Hehehe!!
