Infinity

IMPORTANT NOTE: Infinity has been deprecated in favor of cIPL (https://github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/wiki/cIPL).

After you have ARK-4 launched and already running and want to not have to re-run ARK Loader ever reboot there (depending on your model) multiple ways to have a Permanent CFW.

This method works on all PSP Models

If coming from another CFW it is recommended NOT REQUIRED to use Chronoswitch to revert back to 6.60/6.61 OFW (Official Firmware) to simplify the process.
