I'll complete my answer.

You have a fat psp so a model that accepts a permanent CFW and also a non-permanent one.

Permanent, your psp automatically starts in custom firmware

Non-permanent, you launch your custom firmware whenever you want.

Your psp is debrickable, if one day you brick your console, you'll be able to get it working again.

There are 2 existing cfws, ME and PRO.

Both are good, but over time I tend to prefer the ME

the pro tutorial is in the tutorial section and the me one is in the homebrew section

uh how much did you get your 16GB MS for, and where did you order it??

currently I have a 1GB one, can I hack with that for now???

Can you simply explain to me in broad terms, the difference between ME and PRO

thanks in advance.

Hi!

Yes of course, you can start hacking your console with a 1gb ms.

so, there are 2 custom firmwares, the ME and the pro.

the ME developed by the prince of the PSP, neur0n, very good custom firmware, practically bug-free.

The pro developed by virtuous flame and coldbird, also very good, except I find the usb handling a bit less good than the ME, however the PRO is evolving towards online gaming via the PRO team's servers.

Each CFW exists in two versions: the LCFW and the CFW, the non-permanent and the permanent.

the permanent one works with the fat psp and the flashable slims (up to the ta88 V3 motherboard which is no longer flashable and therefore debrickable).

the LCFW is for the psp 2000 tA88 V3, the 3000s and the GOs.

The LCFW always launches the official firmware on startup and then you launch your LCFW to bypass the limits of the official firmware.

The CFW itself launches directly, but for example on the ME, you just need to press start on startup to be in official firmware right from startup.

The ME on 6.60 is compatible with USB loader, which means your psp can fetch games from a folder on the PC, an obvious space saver when you have a small MS.
Careful, not all games are compatible.

I'd advise you to install the LCFW ME to see if the non-permanent version suits you
hbpsp/lcfw-me-6-60-1-8-quickfix-t8223.html and then if you want permanent you follow this post.

hbpsp/cfw-me-6-60-1-8-quickfix-t8087.html


for the usb loader, it's over here tutospsp/usb-iso-loader-v0-8-t10012.html

there's a tutorial section to learn more about your psp, don't hesitate to take a look there.

For the MS, I recommend the real Sony cards and not the compatible ones which mess up the psps.

If you have any issues, send me a PM or continue your post.

I've encountered bugs with the usb and especially USB loader doesn't work with the pro. The only difference is the USB handling.
