Previously on Fixmypsp, I have introduced a handy PSP Hombrew application ; PSARDumper 6.XX. Homebrew coder, bbtgp has released this application and  now it can support firmware 6.00, 6.10 and 6.20. For those who are still have no idea about this application, PSARDumper 6.XX will help you to dump and decrypt PSP firmwares. It really useful when you need some useful plug-ins or others files that comprised inside any PSP firmwares (.pbp files). In this post, I will show you a guide on how to dump and decrypt PSP firmwares by using PSARDumper.

Requirement:

• PSP Custom Firmware enable.
• PSARDumper [Download PSARDumper 6.XX]
• Official Firmware (eboot pbp) [Download official firmwares here] or [Download eboot.pbp 6.20 here]

 Tutorial:

Step 1:

Please install PSARDumper on your PSP: [Click HERE to see a guide on how to install PSARDumper 6.XX]

Step 2:

Get yourself a target official firmware.

Below is a sample firmware and I have used eboot 6.20 as my target firmware.

1) Extract FW620ebootrenamed.














2) Normally, you will see an eboot.pbp file after you extracted your downloaded PSP official firmwares.

Copy the target 'EBOOT.PBP' file and paste it right into root of PSP Memory Stick (MS0:)

Word of advice:

• In case you got a .pbp file but labeled differently (620.pbp, 610.pbp etc...) from picture above, please rename and replace the 'number' with 'EBOOT '.

Step 3:

After you have successful paste the target EBOOT.PBP into the right place, now is the time to run your installed PSARDumper.

• On your PSP XMB>> Games>> Memory Stick>>  New PSAR Dumper

• Just press [SQUARE] button to decrypt all the contents inside the target eboot.pbp.

You need to wait until all the process finished. You will ask to press a button before you can exit the application.

Step 4:

The next step: get your decrypted files.

• Connect your PSP to your PC and you will find a new folder called "F0", that's where all the decrypted files are.

•  The decrypted files.

You're done...
